Billy Corgan’s NWA Files New Trademark

Since October, Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance has been developing their own characters and storylines. Much of what the company has been doing in 2018 has centered around new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis, and his crusade to defend the title 20x in a 60 day period.

The events surrounding the NWA are documented weekly through the promotion’s “10 Pounds of Gold” YouTube series.

According to a report from PWInsider, Billy Corgan’s production company, Lightning One, has applied for a new trademark. The trademarked name is “the DuMont Network”, sometimes referred to as “the Forgotten Network”.

From 1946-1956, the DuMont Network was the 3rd network on the air along with NBC and CBS. It was also the first network to air professional wrestling. The filing of this particular trademark fits with Corgan’s interest in returning to the glory years of the NWA.
