Billy Corgan Breaks Down Tim Storm vs. Jax Dane at NWA 75

– During an appearance on this week’s Sports Guys Talking Wrestling, NWA Owner Billy Corgan discussed NWA 75 and Jax Dane facing former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tim Storm in a No DQ bout at the event. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Billy Corgan on Dane vs. Storm at NWA 75: “On paper, Jax is the more celebrated champion. I mean, Jax has basically held every title you could hold in the NWA. Jax has been on maybe the best run of his career here in the last couple years. He looks across the room, and there’s Tim Storm. Beloved, babyface, everybody loves Tim Storm.”

On how Storm said he would never retire: “Of course, Tim [is] mostly known to NWA fans these days as the color announcer for our broadcasting. I asked Tim recently, I said, ‘Are you planning on retiring at some point? Is that in your future?’ He said, ‘I’m never gonna retire.’ So it’s a little bit of that ‘Lion King’ type of thing. Jax looks across and says, ‘If Tim’s still here but he’s in a nice purple suit over there, earning his money basically flapping his jaws, well, Jax wants to say, ‘If you’re gonna still be on the field, you gotta go though Jax Dane.'”

On Dane seeing Storm as prey: “Honestly, I think Jax sees Tim as prey. He’s not wrestling a lot these days. So I think there’s kind of something for both to prove. I think in Jax’s case, he doesn’t want his name uttered after Tim’s, and Tim, he’s old-school. You challenge his pride, you know, Tim is the nicest guy in the world. But you get under his skin, and Jax has a way to get under his skin, I call it Dark Tim Storm, and out comes Dark Tim Storm, the shadier side of Tim Storm, and it is in there. So I think this is compelling.”

The bout will be a No Disqualification match going down at NWA 75. NWA 75 is scheduled for August 26-27 in St. Louis, Missouri. It will be broadcast live on FITE pay-per-view.
