NWA apologizes for ‘insensitive comments’ made by Odinson

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The NWA and its owner Billy Corgan have issued an apology following “insensitive comments” made by one of the organization’s wrestlers.

On social media today, the NWA posted a statement from Corgan saying that the promotion does not condone the type of hateful/insensitive remarks recently made by Odinson. The comments at hand are no longer available, but they were said to be homophobic in nature, with one Reddit user saying that Odinson cut an Instagram promo where he repeatedly used the term “gay cowboys” in reference to his opponents.

“The NWA would like to sincerely apologize for the insensitive comments made by Odinson on social media. These statements do not reflect the values, views, or beliefs of the NWA organization,” Corgan’s statement said. “We do not condone hateful or offensive remarks of any kind and remain committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for everyone in our community.”

Odinson is under contract with the NWA and currently holds the NWA Tag Team titles with JR Kratos. The duo are known as The Immortals.

As of now, Odinson has not issued his own apology or commented on the situation. He and Kratos are advertised for NWA Hard Times 6 in Atlanta on June 6 and the NWA’s 78th anniversary show in Philadelphia on July 25.

Nick Aldis vs. Odinson set for NWA Hard Times 3

Former NWA World Champion Nick Aldis vs. Odinson has been announced for the company’s Hard Times III.

The pay-per-view is set for November 12th in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Aldis was surprisingly pulled from his title match against current champion Trevor Murdoch at night two of the NWA’s 74th anniversary show. Owner William Corgan said he did it due to Aldis’ politicking behind the scenes, but Aldis appeared on the first night and did a promo that didn’t further the storyline. 

He then defeated Flip Gordon on the second night and after the two shook hands, Odinson laid out both men with pounces to put this into motion.

Here’s the current card for the event:

  • NWA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch defends against Tyrus and Matt Cardona in a triple threat match
  • NWA Women’s Champion Kamille defends against Taya Valkyrie or KiLynn King
  • NWA US Tag Team Champions The Fixers defend against The Spectaculars
  • NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Homicide defends against Kerry Morton
  • NWA National Champion Cyon defends against Thrillbilly Silas, Dak Draper or Chris Adonis
  • AJ Cazana vs. Jordan Clearwater for the vacant NWA TV title
  • EC3 vs. Thom Latimer
  • Nick Aldis vs. Odinson
