Nov 10 Colby Corino On NWA's "Hard Times 3," His Early Days In Wrestling & More

Founded in 1948, the National Wrestling Alliance — or NWA, for short — is one of the oldest and most prestigious professional wrestling brands in the world. In 2017, GRAMMY-winning international recording artist and producer William Patrick Corgan (a.k.a. Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins) purchased the NWA with the intention of reinventing the brand for the modern era whilst still honoring the legacy of its heyday in the 1980s. Beginning with the critically-acclaimed Ten Pounds Of Gold docu-series, the NWA has since expanded its programming to include two weekly broadcasts (NWA Powerrr and NWA USA) and six annual pay-per-views. All of those events and more are available via NWA All Access, the company’s paid subscription service via Triller’s FITE streaming platform; replays of NWA Powerrr are available for free on the NWA YouTube Channel Friday evenings while NWA USA is available for free via the NWA YouTube Channel at 12pm EST on Saturdays.

Hard Times 3 is the next pay-per-view event being promoted by the National Wrestling Alliance. The third event in the Hard Times chronology, it will take place on November 12, 2022 at the Frederick J. Sigur Civic Center in Chalmette, Louisiana. Currently, 14 matches are announced for the event, including a NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match between Trevor Murdoch, Matt Cardona and Tyrus, an NWA World Women's Championship bout between Kamille, KiLynn King and Chelsea Green, an MLW National Openweight Championship bout between Davey Richards and Colby Corino. NWA will be hosting the Revolution Rumble the following night in Louisiana on November 13th.

On November 9, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with NWA star Colby Corino via Zoom, which is embedded below. More on Corino and the NWA can be found here, here and here.
