National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA ) is an American professional wrestling organization. Formed in 1948, it is for the time most recognized as the biggest brand and governing body in professional wrestling. Under the control of the NWA Board of Directors (composed of prominent regional promoters), the organization acts as a regulatory body for the national territorial system of the Alliance which recognizes one world champion, participates in talent exchange, and collectively protects the territorial integrity of the promotional members.
The NWA grew rapidly in America until the late 1980s, by which time most of the original members had gone bankrupt due to the national expansion of the World Wrestling Federation. The largest remaining NWA member, the World Championship Wrestling Championships (WCW) - which have been formed from Promotional assets Jim Crockett, who in turn has gained other former NWA members - will leave the NWA for good in 1993.
The NWA continued as a governing body until 2012, when the rights to the name were transferred to R. Bruce Tharpe International Wrestling Corp. as a result of the lawsuit filed against the then Executive Director, Robert Trobich and his company, Pro Wrestling Organization LLC, which controls the trademark on behalf of organization. Under Tharpe, the NWA changed from membership-based regulatory bodies to private organizations that licensed NWA names to promotions. In May 2017, it was announced that musician Billy Corgan through its production company, Lightning One, had agreed to buy the NWA as part of a deal settled on 1 October. After the finalization of the agreement, the NWA affiliation agreement is allowed. hose.
Beginning in October, the NWA started its first YouTube series "NWA Ten Pounds of Gold", focusing primarily around the NWA World Heavyweight Champion and others in the division. On February 8, 2018, the organization launched the NWA Network, a pro-wrestling podcast network.

Histori
Sejarah awal
1940-an
Before the NWA was founded in 1948, there were many regional professional wrestling promotions throughout North America (each promoting their own "World" champions). None of them, however, have any support or acknowledgment outside of their respective geographical base areas. The NWA concept is to consolidate the championship of these regional companies into a true pro-world wrestling championship, whose holders will be recognized worldwide. In 1948, Paul "Pinkie" George, a promoter of the Midwest, founded the original version of the National Wrestling Alliance with the support of five other promoters (Al Haft, Tony Strecher, Harry Light, Orville Brown and Sam Muchnick). The newly formed NWA Board of Directors wants Brown to become the first NWA world champion. During the reign of the NWA Second Heavyweight World Champion, Lou Thesz (1949-1956), the title was increasingly united with several previously rival "World" titles, as recognized by the National Wrestling Association and the American Wrestling Alliance (in Boston), plus another version promoted from the Los Angeles Olympic Auditorium. It legitimizes the NWA claim that the title is "an integrated world title", and its lineage continues to this day.
NWA members divide North America, as well as Japan, into areas each promoter will "own" and operate. Having a territory means that no other NWA member can promote wrestling in that area unless there is a special arrangement between the promoters involved.. If non-NWA promoters try to promote their performances in the NWA area, then another group of members is required to send a star to help force the intruder out. Reported, threats of violence or physical retaliation are used against any promoter (and/or talent) who neglect the territorial system. If any member area violates NWA rules, it faces expulsion, and thus at risk of losing having a nationally known wrestler appear on their local event. For most promoters under the NWA umbrella, membership benefits are very much in line with the dues. Typically, the NWA President's territory is the main area of ​​the entire alliance.
Beyond the merits of having other promotions to withdraw in case of intruders, each region also receives regular visitor visits from the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. The champion does not have such a "home territory", but travels from one area to another, defending the title against the top stars in each region. A number of former NWA World Champions often say that their main goal is to make the top stars in each region "look good" and give the crowd the impression that the "local hero" has the potential to win by almost winning the title. Many promoters will build the "NWA World Weight Class Champion" appearance a few weeks or months before, making local World titles more special, and the events they titled are more profitable. In addition, each NWA member campaign usually produces TV shows that are aired on their territory only, which means that local fans only see World champions when they come to their area instead of year-round. Not only the champion will explore the territories; often, wrestlers from different areas will come to the area (often heels/"bad guys"), and run one or two corners with a local face up ("nice people"). In addition, if local fans ever get bored with wrestlers, he can go to an entirely new area and perform the same action for a new audience, who would think that the acting is completely new. The storyline is often advanced in the area from which the competitor left as a result of the highly promoted "loser leaving town" game.
1950s-1960s
After becoming a booker for Lou Thesz in 1950, Muchnick, who is chairman of the Wrestling Club St. Louis, became the new President of the NWA and maintained that position until 1960.
In the mid-1950s, serious disagreements took place within the NWA. There are antitrust problems with the government and there are a number of competing factions who want to replace Thesz as champions with different wrestlers, such as Verne Gagne. The antitrust case led to the famous 1956 NWA Approval Decision in the United States. v. National Wrestling Alliance . There is also a dispute over the number of dates that were championed in various parts of the country. The first break in the organization took place in 1957, when Montreal promoter Eddie Quinn quit the August NWA meeting in St. Louis. Louis. Quinn has broken up with Muchnick due to a number of problems. Quinn is a partner in the St. Louis and disagree with how it was run, and also angry that Muchnick has business dealings with mischievous promoters (and Quinn's rival) Jack Pfefer. By the time Quinn walked out, a wrestler named ÃÆ' â € ° douard Carpentier was involved in a corner where both he and Lou Thesz were both presented around the NWA as champions. This came after the Carpentier won disputed victory over Thesz on June 14, 1957, and some NWA promoters considered it a legitimate title change, while others did not. The initial idea was to build the idea of ​​a "disputed" NWA title into a high profile rematch. When Quinn left the NWA, Muchnick announced that Carpentier had never been an official champion and had no claim to that title.
After that, Quinn sees the financial possibilities in the Carpentier situation and starts negotiating with factions within the NWA, as some areas such as Boston (AAC/Big Time Wrestling), Nebraska, and Los Angeles (NAWA/WWA) continue to recognize Carpentier as the champion. He offered to let the Carpentier lose the title for their champion candidate thus giving them, if they decide to break away, a legitimate claim to the world title. AAC acknowledged Killer Kowalski as world champion when he beat Carpentier in Boston, and Nebraska recognized Verne Gagne as the champion when he defeated Carpentier in Omaha (after winning the belt, Gagne tried for two years to solve the problem with the NWA, but eventually went organization in 1960 formed the American Wrestling Association.Gagne's victory over Carpentier was used to legitimize the world championship status from the AWA title). The NAWA/WWA recognized Freddie Blassie as world champion when he defeated Carpentier in 1961. The promotion then left the NWA formally and became Worldwide Wrestling Associates (WWA) until returning to the NWA in 1968.
Muchnick's successor at the helm of the NWA in 1960 was Frank Tunney of Toronto; he was in turn replaced by Fred Kohler, who is the main book reader for the new NWA world champion, "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers. Rogers had defeated NWA World Champion Pat O'Connor in 1961 in front of a recording crowd of over 38,000 fans at Comiskey Park in Chicago. October 1962 saw Rogers defeat Kowalski in a match promoted by Doc Karl Sarpolis, promoters of NWA members in Amarillo, Texas, and Sarpolis boarded the NWA presidency as a result. On January 24, 1963, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Lou Thesz beat Rogers in an autumn game and was declared champion. After the event, however, Northeastern promoter Vincent J. McMahon refused to recognize the title change and withdrew its operation from the NWA, becoming the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, now WWE) with Rogers as a star player. The WWWF recognized Rogers as his first world champion in April 1963. Although Gagne and McMahon promoted their own world champions, their promotions continued to have representation on the NWA Board of Directors and regularly exchanged talent with NWA promotions.
Reject territory system
1970s-1980s
In the 1980s, video and cable video tape trade paved the way for the death of the inter-regional NWA business model, as fans can now see for themselves plot holes and inconsistencies between different regional storylines. Also, the presence of stars like Ric Flair on TV every week makes their special appearance in every region less than a draw. Vincent K. McMahon, who bought WWF from his father in 1982 used this collection trend to turn his Northeastern region into the first real national promotion. To combat this threat, various NWA promoters, along with AWA, are trying to promote the exhibition under the banner of Pro Wrestling USA. Internal disputes over power and money, however, caused the deal to finally fall apart. AWA eventually has a group ESPN time slot, and uses it to broadcast its own weekly event.
In 1984, McMahon bought NWA members, Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) and merged them into WWF, with WWF taking over the old GCW TV slot on TBS. Meanwhile, to postpone WWF threats, Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) based in Charlotte, North Carolina decided to unite certain NWA areas and "go national" themselves. Therefore, Jim Crockett, Jr. start buying some promotions of other NWA members or, in some cases, allow them to die quietly and just absorb their roster. Due to his pleasure, and due to failure/consistent fit with WWF's ambitious marketing, TV production values, and merchandising, Crockett faced bankruptcy in 1988. TBS owner Ted Turner bought JCP and named it World Championship Wrestling (WCW) after the popular GCW TV show on TBS. With Turner's money support, it grew into a national promotion. Over time, WCW became the primary NWA region with JCP versions of Tag-Team, USA, and Television Champion recognized on a national scale. Until now only the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship are gaining national recognition. WCW is still a member of the NWA, but with the time felt that NWA requires more than needed support from the NWA, mainly because both WCW and WWF tour the entire country rather than live within a limited area. To make matters even more confusing, WCW spent a lot of time in 1992 and 1993 recognizing and promoting both the world WCW brand world champion and the NWA brand world champion.
Another promotion that withdrew from the NWA to operate on its own is Mid-South Sports. Originally owned by Leroy McGuirk (who ordered the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion for the NWA), the promotion was sold to Bill Watts in 1979. Watts changed the name of the promotion to Mid-South Sports. In 1986, Watts changed its name to Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) in an effort to expand nationally, but was eventually purchased by JCP in March 1987, after bankruptcy.
In February 1986, promoter Fritz Von Erich drew the Wrestling World Championship (WCCW) from the NWA in an effort to become a national promotion. He collaborated with other former NWA members, the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA), and AWA to try to compete with WWF, but the arrangements soon fell apart because of the inter-promotion politics. The WCCW and CWA later merged to form the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), which folded in 1997. Overseas, Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), All Pro Japan Wrestling (AJPW), and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) all separated from the NWA in the mid-1980s, but not many American fans followed or even knew about this promotion.
1990s-2000s
In January 1991, WCW officially began to recognize the WCW World Champion, with Ric Flair, who had just beaten Sting to reclaim the NWA World Class Championship, as the first title holder. Ric Flair was simultaneously recognized as a world champion both NWA and WCW until he left WCW over a dispute with WCW president Jim Herd (with an actual belt in his hand) to join WWF. After leaving, Flair was soon stripped of the WCW World title but continued to be recognized as the NWA World champion, leading to the separation of WCW and NWA titles. He was officially stripped of the NWA World title after his arrival at WWF a few months later. After that, the NWA World title was inactive for a year until New Japan Pro-Wrestling organized a tournament to crown the new champion. In September 1993, WCW withdrew completely from the NWA, and, despite the ownership of Flair's physical belt, did not name the NWA in the air after the split.
In August 1994, the Philadelphia-based Wrestling Championship East (ECW) pulled their membership from the NWA in a rather surprising way. As one of the most popular independent promotions in the early 1990s, they organized a tournament to win the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion after WCW withdrew from the NWA. The tournament finals saw Shane Douglas defeat 2 Cold Scorpio for the world title. Then, in a surprising turn, Douglas threw the title belt to the ground, claiming that he did not want to be the promotional champion who died "seven years before" (when the JCP became WCW). Shane then won the ECW Heavyweight Class Championship belt and declared himself ECW World Champion. ECW owner Tod Gordon later changed his company name to Wrestling the Extreme Championships and officially pulled the ECW from the NWA. This only removes the remaining prestige connected to the NWA World Championships and lowers it to a forgotten state among wrestling fans.
After the separation of WCW in 1993, the NWA is not what it used to be. Through the mid to late 1990s, the organization was left with a small collection of independent promotions during the height of the Monday Night War between WCW and WWF.
Recent history
2000s-2010s
To join the NWA, the promoter must have operated for at least one year in the territory undisputed by other NWA members, and their application must be approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors - with a few exceptions. In August 2005, the NWA presidency was dissolved and office duties assumed by the Board of Directors, following the resignation of Ernie Todd (NWA: Canadian Wrestling Federation). It was announced on the NWA website on Monday, October 10, 2005, that NWA legal adviser Bob Trobich will be his new Executive Director. In April 2012, North Carolina entrepreneurs and NWA Carolinas promoter David Baucom took over as Executive Director following Trobich's resignation.
In August 2012, International Wrestling Corp., the parent company run by Houston R. Bruce Tharpe's lawyer and promotional advocate, sued Trobich, Baucom, the NWA, and its parent Trobich's Pro Wrestling Organization LLC, claimed fraud insurance on a liability insurance policy NWA. A negotiated settlement that transferred the rights on behalf of the NWA and trademarks of the Trobich company to Tharpe's. The new organization moved from the membership model to the licensing model, which led to many promotions to immediately sever ties with the NWA, including the Wrestling Championship of Hollywood. CWF Hollywood was an unofficial home promotion of the two current NWA champions (Adam Pearce) and the last last champion (Colt Cabana), both openly leaving the NWA, with Pearce vacating the NWA World Title on exit.
In 2013, the NWA re-established relationships with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, in which Bruce Tharpe became a screen character, depicting a wicked wrestler manager representing the NWA. Over the next two years, the NWA World Heavyweight, World Tag Team and World Junior Heavyweight Championships all changed hands at NJPW events.
In September 2016, the NWA signed a deal with the new Japanese Diamond Stars Wrestling (DSW) promotion to promote performances in not only Japan but also other parts of Asia. As part of the deal, DSW chairman Hideo Shimada was appointed Vice President of the NWA in the Asia Pacific region, while Jimmy Suzuki was appointed senior consultant of the NWA.
Acquisition by Billy Corgan
On May 1, 2017, it was reported that Billy Corgan, the singer of Smashing Pumpkins, has agreed to buy the NWA, including its name, rights, trademark, and championship belt. The report was confirmed by Tharpe on the same day. Over the next few weeks, the NWA trademark was transferred from Tharpe's International Wrestling Corp. to Corgan's Lightning One, Inc. production company. According to various sources, as part of Corgan's acquisition of NWA from Tharpe, Corgan will purchase NWA's name, rights and trademarks, along with NWA Championship titles, Tharpe shares on NWA's "On Demand" VOD service and Paul Boesch wrestling library licensing. Corgan's ownership of the NWA came into effect on October 1, 2017. All licenses granted by Tharpe to use the NWA brand expired the previous day, placing Corgan in full control of both the brand and the championship. Corgan formed a new leadership organization with Dave Lagana. With the exception of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, which is still actively contested, all other NWA championship titles have been vacated.
In 2018, the NWA briefly aligned itself with Impact Wrestling (former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) to hold an Empty Arena Game at the Orlando Universal Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was contested by Tim Storm and Jocephus, and served as a qualifier to challenge the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis. The match was recorded on January 14, 2018, and uploaded to YouTube the next day.

Promotions
Regional promotion from the past
Some of the small promotions that used to be NWA milestones ceased to exist as WWF (now World Wrestling Entertainment) and WCW grow to the national level. Indeed WWF (later known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation) itself was previously one of the biggest NWA promotions. Originally started in the NWA, and successfully dominated the Northeast US region after withdrawing from the NWA until much of the 1960s. The WWWF secretly rejoined the organization in 1971, after the largest WWWF draw, Bruno Sammartino abandoned the promotion and in 1979 changed the name of the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In 1983, McMahons and colleagues all withdrew from the NWA, the Pacific Northwest Wrestling (PNW) was one of the main NWA areas into the 1980s, but, due to the aging of Don Owen's promoters and the reduced profits, it was closed in 1992. Other territories who was once considered the main area of ​​the NWA is the promoter and promotion of NWA twice the President of St. Sam Muchnick based in St. Petersburg. Louis, St. Louis The Louis Wrestling Club, which lasted until 1982 and was later sold to a promotion that Jim Crockett Promotion absorbed in 1985 in his quest to create a national promotion. NWA Mid-America, booked by Nick Gulas, and Continental Wrestling Federation, was ordered by Fuller, both folded in the 1980s, but was an old member. The Southwest Wrestling Championship of San Antonio was a member from 1978 until it was purchased by the promotion of another NWA member, World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), in 1985. When the wrestler and Detroit NWA member Ed Farhat made several appearances as The Sheik in " ", his promotion, Big Time Wrestling, was deemed to have violated the NWA charter and was removed from the organization.
Another former NWA member of the United States is Ohio Valley Wrestling, who became a member to become a WWF development site in 2001.
The NWA is not limited to the United States alone. At various points, promotions in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, the UK, and Australia are members. In Canada, Maple Leaf Wrestling is an old NWA member, with his promoter Frank Tunney serving as NWA President in the early 1960s. Maple Leaf Wrestling withdrew from the NWA when it was incorporated into the WWF in 1984. Another Canadian promotion which was a key member in the NWA until also absorbed into WWF was Stackin Stu Hart Wrestling in Calgary, although when it was relaunched in 1999, it was not become a member of the NWA. Other areas of Canada, including the Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, are known as the East Sports Association, and are operated only in the summer months. The promotion was dissolved in 1977, and the subsequent efforts of Al Zink's promoters to wrestling were not affiliated with the NWA. Out of Vancouver comes the NWA All-Star Wrestling. Run by promoters Gene Kiniski and Sandor Kovac, the NWA All-Star Wrestling was a member of the NWA until 1985, after which it was recognized a fictitious sanctioning body known as the "Universal Wrestling Alliance."
In Mexico, the main NWA member is Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre (now called CMLL). Founded in 1933, precedes the creation of the NWA. EMLL joined the NWA later, but broke away from the group in 1980. Despite not being a NWA member since 1980, CMLL still recognizes three titles with the NWA line: the NWA Lightweavy World Championship, the NWA World Middleweight Championship and the NWA World Welterweight Championships, all of which not approved and only maintained at CMLL events.
In the Caribbean, the long-standing promotion of the World Wrestling Council, owned by Carlos Colon and based in Puerto Rico, was a member from 1973 to 1988, when the concept of territory became semi-obsolete due to the growth of WCW. Promoting the Puerto Rican competition, the International Wrestling Association, founded in 1994 by Victor QuiÃÆ'Â ± ones, was a member of the NWA from its inception until 2001.
The presence of the NWA in Japan was established in 1953, when Japanese wrestler/promoter Rikidozan founded Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance, (JWA) which quickly became the main promotion in Japan. In 1972, the two JWAs draw against giants Baba and Antonio Inoki left to form their own promotions, All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) respectively. As a result, JWA immediately folded. AJPW became a member of the NWA at its inception in 1973 and survived until the late 1980s. NJPW was also a member of the NWA at various points between 1975 and 1985, primarily in order to gain control of the Navy Junior Heavyweight Championship. In 1992 and 1993, NJPW joined the NWA once again to rebuild and promote the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but left the NWA when the WCW resigned. NJPW returned to the NWA in 2004, again primarily for NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship, and it was not a very stressful connection. Between NJPW's departure in 1993 and its return in 2004, NWA representatives in Japan spread among several independent promotions: the International Wrestling Association of Japan (1994-1996); Yume Roll Factory (1995-1997), Universal Battle Art Organization (1999-2000); and Pro Wrestling Zero-One (2001-2004). In June 2007, the Inoki Genome Federation replaced NJPW as a Japanese affiliate of the National Wrestling Alliance. In February 2008, however, the New Japan returned to the NWA. At the 2010 annual meeting, New Japan did not renew its membership and leave the NWA again. In 2011, Pro Wrestling Zero1 returned to the NWA as their Japanese territory.
Latest main promotions
The NWA brand name has been seen most prominently in recent years along with Impact Wrestling, a former NWA member campaign started by Jeff Jarrett and his promoter Jerry's father in 2002, who withdrew from the NWA in 2004. In 2004, Impact negotiated a new one. dealing with the NWA name license and use of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and NWA World Tag Team Championship, for ten years. On May 13, 2007, the NWA terminated this agreement, revoking World Heavyweight official status and World Tag Team status from current impact-based holders, and scheduled tournaments for both newly vacated titles. Both sides want to end the setting as the Impact wants the World title brand themselves, and NWA members want final control on the choice and date of ordering the NWA-brand champion.
The most visible NWA member promotion in the United States recently was NWA Wildside. It aired 300 consecutive weeks of syndicated television before it closed in April 2005, when the promoter, Bill Behrens, signed an agreement to work as a television syndicator for WWE. Bill Behrens and Jerry Palmer started NWA Anarchy after the closure of NWA Wildside. NWA Anarchy continues to broadcast weekly television programs that appear on stations across the US and Canada. NWA Pro Wrestling, operated by Los Angeles by David Marquez and John Rivera, has been successful in running arena events across Southwest America using Lucha libre stars to draw homes. The campaign previously known as the NWA Championship Wrestling of Hollywood was broadcast on the Southern California television market at KDOC. It withdraws from the NWA in 2012.
The NWA also has affiliates throughout California and New Jersey. The biggest and most successful NWA member campaign is New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the second largest and most profitable wrestling campaign in the world (after WWE). NJPW was approved by NWA members and wrestler Antonio Inoki, who at that time also imposed sanctions on Zero-One and the Universal Fighting Organization as a NWA promotion. NJPW held events consistently throughout Japan, and has also hosted shows in Europe and the United States. However, it was no longer the NWA territory, as Inoki transferred his rights to the Inoki Genome Federation when he left New Japan. At the 2010 Annual Meeting, the New Japan did not renew its membership and has left the NWA. However, the NWA reappears in New Japan in 2013 as part of a corner with NWA wrestlers wrestling in Japan to try to take over the company, especially former NWA Champion Rob Conway.
The late 1990s also brought the first European member, NWA UK Hammerlock. Because of the European recognition of the championship established by the Admiral-Lord Mountevans rules and the difference of rules of the game (for example, matches in Europe are usually divided into rounds), the NWA has no presence in Europe at its heyday. Promotion withdrawal from NWA in December 2013.
In 2008 the new promotion of Mexico, NWA Mexico is run by Blue Demon, Jr. (adopted child of the original Blue Demon EMLL star) appears as a new NWA affiliate in Mexico. Demon, Jr., made an instant impact by winning the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (the first Mexican luchador to do so) without EMLL engagement. NWA Mexico was dissolved on 13 November 2013.
