During a recent appearance on the “This Is Wrestling” podcast, Nick Aldis commented on how the NWA has managed to turn the COVID-19 pandemic into a positive, how they are still making money, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On how NWA is faring during the pandemic: “I think internally within the NWA, it really allowed us the luxury, I suppose, to focus all our time and energy on other revenue streams. Because you know, necessity breeds invention. And we are not, you know, we’re not a company funded or backed by a big corporation or somebody incredibly wealthy. I mean, Billy’s wealthy, you know, personally wealthy. But he doesn’t wanna just throw his money away, so it sort of gave us this sink or swim mentality as far as exploring other revenue streams. And now, we just actually had our best revenue month ever. So it’s actually sort of interesting, you know, when you really break it down. And that’s — that’s net. I mean, obviously we’ve had months of PPV and stuff where obviously the revenue is obviously significantly more. But in terms of net, yeah, we actually had our best month ever. So, it is interesting.”
On being able to use the revenue streams to build on the company’s prospects: “We’ve tried to make a negative, and turn it into a positive because we’ve now got all these other revenue streams. And we have all this other content, which will hopefully allow us to be a bit more attractive to sponsors and to partners in that world. And so in a lot of ways it’s kind of opened up [things for the NWA]. I look at it as, when one of your senses is taken away, your others become more heightened. It’s almost like that, where we’ve been able to realize our potential in some other areas.”
