Backstage NWA News: Lagana (WWE) Joins Creative, Major Issues, Porn Stars
Many segments for last weekend's tapings were done out of order, due to schedule conflicts with some of the talent.
Former WWE Creative team member Dave Lagana was brought in to work on the TV tapings last weekend as well. Lagana is back living in Los Angeles and was added to the NWA's creative side to work on the writing, formatting and timing of the tapings due to his experience.
There was a major audio issue with the Friday night tapings. Everything was recorded on one audio channel, instead of the crowd, announcers and ring each being placed on different audio channels. This will make for more work in the editing process.
There is a five-team round robin tournament featuring Los Luchas, The Border Patrol, Native Blood, The Young Bucks, and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. The will get a tag team title shot against champions, The SkullCrushers. The SkullCrushers were not at the tapings, due to a scheduling conflict.

DiBiase pushes his family's history in wrestling with the fact that he is a third generation talent.
