Tim Storm Was Offered To Drop NWA World Title In Japan During His Reign

Tim Storm, a star in the NWA, recently shared in an interview with Post Wrestling that there was an offer on the table for him to drop the NWA World’s Title to someone in Japan while he was still champion. However, Billy Corgan, who had recently taken over the brand, decided to pass on this offer. Let’s dive into the details of this revelation below.

Tim Storm talked about the offer he received to relinquish the NWA world title in Japan. Reflecting on history, Tim mentioned instances where champions had been offered to drop their title in another promotion. He recalled stories involving legends like Jerry Brisco and Harley Race, who were offered substantial amounts of money to drop the title, only to win it back shortly afterward. Tim revealed that he also received more than one offer to drop the title in Japan, with varying amounts of money being offered. There was discussion about him making a trip to Japan and potentially dropping the belt there, with the idea of the other person holding it for three months. However, Tim emphasized the importance of not hastily changing champions, as it could diminish the prestige of the title.

Tim Storm also shared his experience of working with Nick Aldis, which he considered to be a great opportunity. He highlighted the immense respect and admiration the NWA World Champion receives in Japan, emphasizing the special treatment he received during his time as champion. Despite the tempting financial offers he received to drop the title, Tim’s dedication and respect for the championship prevented him from seriously considering such a move. He mentioned that there were even attempts by others to persuade him to drop the title to their preferred wrestler, but Tim remained firm in his commitment to upholding the honor of the championship.

In another part of the interview, Tim Storm mentioned the possibility of transitioning into a backstage role within the NWA. This shift in roles could mark a new chapter in his career, allowing him to contribute to the promotion in a different capacity. It’s clear that Tim’s passion for wrestling and dedication to the NWA brand continue to drive his decisions and aspirations within the industry.
