vs. Nick Aldis II The
National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is an American professional wrestling organization.
Formed in 1948, it was for a time the most-recognized brand and largest governing
body in professional wrestling. Under the control of the NWA Board of Directors
(consisting of various prominent, regional promoters) the organization acted as
a governing body for the Alliance's national territory system which recognized
one world champion, participated in talent exchanges, and collectively protected
the territorial integrity of member promotions. The
NWA thrived in America until the late 1980s, by which time most original members
had gone out of business as a result of the World Wrestling Federation's national
expansion. The largest remaining NWA member, World Championship Wrestling (WCW),
which had been formed from the assets of Jim Crockett Promotions, which in turn
had itself acquired other former NWA members, would leave the NWA for good in
1993. The
NWA continued on as a governing body until 2012, when the rights to the name were
transferred to R. Bruce Tharpe's International Wrestling Corp as a result of a
lawsuit filed against then-Executive Director Robert Trobich and his company,
Pro Wrestling Organization LLC, which controlled the trademarks on behalf of the
organization. Under Tharpe, the NWA changed from a membership-based governing
body to a private organization which licensed the NWA name to promotions. In May
2017, it was announced that musician Billy Corgan through his production company,
Lightning One, had agreed to purchase the NWA as part of a deal that was finalized
on October 1. Upon the finalization of the deal, the NWA's affiliate agreements
were allowed to lapse. Beginning
in October, the NWA began its first YouTube series "NWA Ten Pounds of Gold",
focused 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. (Wikipedia) Websites FITE
