During the 83 weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about NWA that is run by Billy Corgan. He said that it is unknown to him why there was so much popularity about NWA back in the early days.

Though certain people showed importance Bischoff was not interested. He claimed that there was so much confusion about the property rights of NWA.

Eric Bischoff said, “It was such a cluster f***. Certain people felt strongly that the NWA had value. I was not one of them, partly because I just had no exposure to it. NWA was not on my radar. It didn’t exist in my mind. I didn’t understand it – why people were so desperate to hold onto this craziness. There was such a cloud over the intellectual property surrounding that belt, and there still is.”

Eric Bischoff believes that the resurrection of NWA was a mistake because of the confusion of ownership of NWA with WCW. He called the whole situation to be a cluster.

He said, “The whole NWA– sorry Billy Corgan, Nick Aldis. Nick, I love you. Billy, I wish you nothing but the best, but this whole resurrect the NWA thing was a mistake just because that NWA title has been drugged through the sewage for so many years. This was WCW right in the middle of it. I didn’t understand it then. It was such a cluster.”
