The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is a group of independent professional wrestling promotions in operation since 1948. Prior to the 1980's, it acted as a governing body for pro wrestling, operating the franchise-like territory system. During its heyday, all the member promotions of the NWA had a monopoly over their given territory. The board members of the NWA would all recognize the "NWA World Heavyweight Championship" as their highest title. Wrestlers like Ric Flair for example, who held the NWA title would go on tours of other member promotions. What this meant is that any member territory who broke the NWA's rules faced expulsion and thus risked missing out on having wrestlers with household names appear in their territories. Similarly if another promoter began performing shows in an NWA's territory all the NWA members were obligated to send their best talent across to fend off the threat. Reportedly during an unbalanced time and while using a not so functioning system, threats of violence or physical retaliation were used against promoters who disregarded the territory system. Thus the NWA instituted a "carrot and stick" approach for maintaining the territory system. For most promoters under the NWA umbrella the benefits of membership were well worth the dues. Video tape trading and cable television paved the way for the eventual death of the NWA's regional business system as fans could now see for themselves the plots and angle's "holes and inconsistencies" between the different regional storylines and the presence of stars like Ric Flair on TV every week made their special appearances in each region less of a draw. To hold off the threat of the then WWF, NWA promoter Jim Crockett with "Jim Crockett Promotions" decided to unify parts of the NWA and create a "national federation" by buying out some of the member promotions or in some cases allowing them to quietly die out and simply absorbing their rosters. However by 1988 this led him to bankruptcy and he sold off the promotion which had a nationally syndicated tv show called NWA's "World Championship Wrestling." It was purchased by Ted Turner of "Turner Broadcasting" and it re-surfaced as just "World Championship Wrestling" or "WCW". In 1991 the flagship WCW realized the NWA needed it more than it needed the NWA and completely parted ways with the NWA temporarily you see because WCW continued however to claim certain aspects of the NWA's lineage. To make matters even more confusing, WCW spent much of 1992 and 1993 recognizing it's own WCW world champions in addition to the resurrected NWA titles. In September of 1993 WCW severed its NWA connections for good due to a lawsuit over whether or not WCW had the right to select NWA champions without supervision from the NWA board. After "Eastern Championship Wrestling" seceded from the NWA to become "Extreme Championship Wrestling" or "ECW" the NWA became a shell of it's former self. Through the mid to late '90s the all-but-forgotten "organization" was left with a small collection of independent federations during the peak of the Monday night ratings wars between the WCW and WWF. There is still a group of promoters which hold membership in the NWA and continue to use the NWA name although no members are holdovers from the membership of the promotion's "glory days" of the 1940's-1980's except for Steve Rickard who is based in New Zealand. In order to join the NWA a promoter must have been operating for at least one year in a territory uncontested by any other NWA member and their application must be approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors although there are numerous exceptions to this bylaw currently within the organization. "Total Non-Stop Action" or "TNA" began in 2002 and signed an agreement to have complete control over the "NWA World Heavyweight Title" and the "NWA World Tag Team Titles" until 2014. However TNA and NWA parted ways in May of 2007. NWA once again has complete control over the "NWA World Heavyweight Title" and the "NWA World Tag Team Titles" and they allow their members and affiliates worldwide to book their regional and national champions.
