On a recent edition of the “Eyes Up Here With Francine” podcast, former WWE Superstar Aron Stevens (Damien Sandow) discussed the controversial moment during the NWA Samhain pay-per-view event that put the NWA’s TV deal with The CW Network in jeopardy.
The controversial segment saw Jim Mitchell drinking alcohol surrounded by women, and it looked like Mitchell was snorting cocaine off a table before passing it around to everyone.
The deal for NWA’s TV show and reality series with The CW Network has yet to be announced since that incident.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the segment: “Decisions are made. Good, bad, and different, decisions are made. Now do I think it negatively impacted the company? No. If you want my honest opinion. In the long term, we just came off one of the best shows we’ve ever had in Sarasota … We have a packed house. We have a roster that is growing and getting better everyday.”
On NWA product: “There’s a vibe at an NWA show. We are the alternative today.”
