TheNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is an Americanprofessional wrestlingpromotion andgoverning body owned byBilly Corgan and operated by its parent company Lightning One, Inc.[4]
Founded in 1948, the NWA began as the governing body for a group of regional promotions, the heads of which made up the board of directors. The group operated aterritory system which sanctioned their own companychampionships while recognizing a singular world champion who defended his title across all the territories, participated in talent exchanges, and collectively protected the territorial integrity of member promotions. Prior to the 1960s, it acted as the sole governing body for professional wrestling in theUnited States. It remained the largest and most influential body in wrestling until the mid-1980s by which time most of the original member promotions went out of business as a result of theWorld Wrestling Federation'snational expansion. The WWF had been the NWA's Northeastern territory but left the alliance in 1983 ahead of the expansion.
In September 1993, the largest remaining member promotion,World Championship Wrestling (WCW), left the NWA.[5] The NWA continued as a loose coalition of independent promotions,[6] withNWA: Total Nonstop Action (NWA:TNA) given exclusivity over itsWorld Heavyweight andTag Team championships from June 2002 to May 2007.[7]
In August 2012, the NWA discontinued its memberships and started licensing its brand to wrestling promotions.[8] In 2017, it was purchased by Billy Corgan through his Lightning One, Inc. company.[9] By late 2019–2023, the NWA had transitioned into a stand-alone, singular promotion.[10][11][12]
In October 2023, the NWA re-established its territory system, withMichael Hutter'sNWA Exodus Pro Midwest being the first promotion sanctioned.[13]
In 1948,Paul "Pinkie" George, a professional wrestling promoter from theU.S. Midwest, founded the National Wrestling Alliance with the backing of six other promoters:Al Haft,Tony Stecher,Harry Light,Orville Brown,Don Owen, andSam Muchnick. The concept of the NWA was to consolidate the championships of these regional companies into one true world championship of professional wrestling, whose holder would be recognized worldwide. The newly formed NWA Board of Directors decided that Brown would become the first everNWA World Heavyweight Champion.[14]
In 1950,Sam Muchnick, one of the original promoters of the NWA andLou Thesz's booker, was named the governing body's President, a position to which he was unanimously re-elected and held until 1960, making him one of the longest-tenured presidents in the organization's history.[citation needed] Following the advent oftelevision, professional wrestling matches began to be aired nationally during this time, reaching a larger audience than ever before. Rising demand and national expansion made wrestling a much more lucrative form of entertainment than in decades previous. This era went on to be known as the "Golden Age" of professional wrestling.[15][16] From 1948 to 1955, each of the three major television networks broadcast wrestling shows; the largest supporter being theDuMont Television Network.[16]
In 1956, allegations were made that the NWA was an illegal monopoly blocking competition. An investigation led by theUS Department of Justice resulted in the NWA Consent Decree of 1956 (United States v. National Wrestling Alliance).[17] Several promoters left the organization during this time, with some managing to find niches in the United States. In 1957,Montreal promoterEddie Quinn walked out of the August NWA meeting in St. Louis, having fallen out with Muchnick over a number of issues. At the time Quinn walked out, a wrestler of his namedÉdouard Carpentier was involved in an angle where he and Lou Thesz were both being presented around the NWA as world champion after Carpentier had a disputed win over Thesz on June 14, 1957.[18]
As the 1950s came to a close, professional wrestling was losing television ratings, and soon TV stations dropped most wrestling shows from their lineups.[19] The remaining televised wrestling promoters had small, localsyndicated shows, which aired as late-night filler programming.[20] Promoters started using localized television by purchasing airtime from rival territories, at the consequence of putting some of them out of business.[21]
On January 24, 1963, atMaple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Lou Thesz defeatedBuddy Rogers in a one-fall match and was declared NWA World Heavyweight Champion for the third and final time.[citation needed] However, after the event,Vincent J. McMahon andToots Mondt of theCapital Wrestling Corporation (CWC) refused to recognize the title change since Thesz was not a strong draw in theirNortheastern territory. They then withdrew the CWC from the NWA.[22] As a result, McMahon and Mondt formed the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, later to be known asWWE) with Rogers as its firstworld champion in April 1963. Although both Gagne and McMahon promoted their own world champions, their promotions continued to have representatives on the NWA Board of Directors and regularly exchanged talent with NWA promotions during this time.[citation needed]
Wrestling's popularity continued to decline in the 1970s. They changed their name from the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979. At some point during the decade, Muchnick reportedly declaredAtlanta, Georgia as the "leading wrestling city" for its "drawing capacity and near-capacity crowds at the City Auditorium or the Omni every Friday."[23] While theAmerican Wrestling Association (AWA) and World Wide Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Federation (WWWF/WWF) both faltered during the 1970s, the NWA once again took over as the top promotion and gained huge dominance with their program,Georgia Championship Wrestling, which became the first nationally broadcast wrestling program on cable television through then-superstationTBS in 1979. They brought inGordon Solie, dubbed "The Walter Cronkite of Professional Wrestling," from former NWA President Eddie Graham's Championship Wrestling from Florida territory to be lead commentator and host.[23]
Videotape trading andcable television paved the way for the decline of the NWA's inter-regional business model, as viewers could now see plot holes and inconsistencies between each territories' storylines. The presence of stars likeRic Flair on TV every week made their special appearances in each region less of a draw.[24]
The WWF left the NWA for good in 1983, asVincent K. McMahon, who bought the WWF from his father in 1982, worked to get WWF programming on syndicated television all across the United States.[citation needed] That same year,Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) and the NWA created its primarysupercard,Starrcade, the first to be broadcast viaclosed-circuit networks and was regarded as their flagship event.
On Saturday, July 14, 1984, in what would become known asBlack Saturday, McMahon bought NWA memberGeorgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) and merged it into the WWF. The WWF took over GCW's TV slot onTBS, which had been home to GCW'sWorld Championship Wrestling program for 12 years.[25] This move proved disastrous as ratings plummeted, and the WWF ended up losing money on the deal. Then-NWA PresidentJim Crockett, Jr., the owner of JCP, bought theWorld Championship Wrestling program from McMahon for $1 million and returned NWA programming to TBS. By 1985, JCP had become the flagship territory of the NWA by acquiring more time slots on TBS and merging with other NWA territories in an attempt to compete with the WWF.[26]
With the success ofWrestleMania III in 1987, the WWF scheduled another pay-per-view,Survivor Series, on Thanksgiving night to compete directly with NWA's Starrcade event, and demanded exclusivity from cable providers on carriage of the event. As a result, Starrcade was moved to December the following year, with the show now held aroundChristmas Day beginning in 1988.[citation needed] The WWF then scheduled their firstRoyal Rumble event in January 1988 to counterprogram against the NWA'sBunkhouse Stampede.[27] The NWA responded by creatingClash of the Champions on TBS to counterprogramWrestleMania IV.[citation needed]
By 1988, Jim Crockett Promotions was facing bankruptcy. On October 11, under the direction of ownerTed Turner, TBS bought the assets of JCP and renamed itWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW) after the TV show of the same name.[28] Originally incorporated by TBS as the Universal Wrestling Corporation, Turner promised fans that WCW would retain the athlete-oriented style of the NWA. The sale was completed on November 2, 1988, with a television taping ofNWA World Championship Wrestling that very same date in WCW's hometown of Atlanta.[29] By September 1993, WCW would withdraw completely from the NWA.
On August 27, 1994, NWA:Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW) held aWorld Title tournament for the vacantNWA World Heavyweight Championship. Unbeknownst to any one, the event was staged for ECW's public withdrawal from the NWA, with tournament winnerShane Douglas throwing down the NWA title belt and instead picking up the ECW Heavyweight Championship belt, proclaiming himself to be the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. ECW founderTod Gordon subsequently announced ECW's secession from the NWA, rechristening the promotion as Extreme Championship Wrestling.[30][31][32]
From 1994 to 1997 the most visible NWA promotion wasDennis Coralluzzo's NWANew Jersey/Championship Wrestling America, which lasted until 2000. NWA New Jersey worked with promotions such asIWA Japan andSteve Corino'sNorth Carolina-based NWA 2000; the latter eventually merged with the New Jersey territory.
In 1998, theWorld Wrestling Federation reached an agreement to use the likeness of the NWA titles, branding, and its history, to create a storyline.[33] It would be later claimed that WWE still owned the rights.[34][35] Despite the NWA receiving international television publicity during the angle, it was considered a failure due to low viewer interests.[36][37]
In June 2002,Jeff andJerry Jarrett launched a new promotion calledNWA: Total Nonstop Action (NWA:TNA). NWA:TNA was given creative control over the NWA World Heavyweight and World Tag Team championships through an agreement with the NWA. This lasted until March 2007, when the NWA terminated its agreement with TNA. TNA lost control over the NWA World Heavyweight and World Tag Team championships by the morning of the 2007Sacrificepay-per-view event on May 13.[38][39]
On September 17, 2010,KDOC-TVLos Angeles premieredNWA: Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.
In August 2012, International Wrestling Corp., a holding company run by Houston, Texas-based attorney and wrestling promoter R. Bruce Tharpe, sued Trobich, Baucom, the NWA, and its then-parent company, Trobich's Pro Wrestling Organization LLC, claiming insurance fraud regarding the NWA's liability insurance policy. A settlement was negotiated that transferred the rights to the NWA name and trademarks from Trobich's company to Tharpe's.[8]
The new organization moved from a membership model to a licensing model and significantly reduced the amount of territory some of the members held,[9] which caused many promotions to immediately cut ties with the NWA. On September 9, 2012,Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (CWFH) announced it had left the NWA.[40] CWFH was the unofficial home promotion of both the then-current NWA champion (Adam Pearce) and the most recent previous champion (Colt Cabana), both of whom publicly left the NWA, with Pearce vacating the NWA World Title while exiting.[41] Other major NWA territories likeNWA Pro/NWA Pro West,NWA Georgia,NWA Pro East, NWA Southwest and NWA Midwest folded.
In 2013, the NWA re-established a relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where Bruce Tharpe became an on-screen character, portraying a villainous manager of wrestlers 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.[42][43][44]
In September 2016, NWA signed a deal with the new Japanese Diamond Stars Wrestling (DSW) promotion to promote shows in not only Japan, but also other parts of Asia. As part of the deal, DSW chairman Hideo Shimada was appointed the NWA Vice President of the Asian Pacific region while Jimmy Suzuki was appointed senior NWA consultant.[45]
On May 1, 2017, it was reported thatBilly Corgan, lead singer of theSmashing Pumpkins, had agreed to purchase the NWA, including its name, rights, trademarks and championship belts.[9] The report was confirmed by Tharpe that same day.[46] Over the following weeks, the NWA trademarks were moved from Tharpe's International Wrestling Corp. over to Corgan's Lightning One, Inc. production company.[35] According to multiple sources, as part of his acquisition of the NWA, Corgan also purchased Tharpe's stake in the NWA's "On Demand" VOD service and licensing of the Paul Boesch wrestling library.[47] Corgan's ownership of the NWA took effect on October 1, 2017. All licenses granted by Tharpe to use the NWA branding expired the previous day, putting Corgan in complete control of both the brand and its championships.[48][4][1]
On September 23, 2017,Nick Aldis made his debut forChampionship Wrestling from Hollywood and challengedTim Storm for theNWA World Heavyweight Championship.[49] The match took place on November 12 and saw Storm retain the title. This was the first title match under the new NWA regime headed by Corgan.[50] On December 9, Aldis defeated Storm in a rematch atCage of Death 19 to become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, making him the second British-born champion afterGary Steele.[51]
In 2018, the NWA briefly allied withImpact Wrestling, the former NWA:TNA, to hold an Empty Arena match atUniversal Orlando in Orlando, Florida. It was contested byTim Storm andJocephus and served as a qualifier to challenge then-NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis. The match was recorded on January 14, 2018, and uploaded toYouTube the next day.[52][53]
Starting in 2018, NWA allied withRing of Honor (ROH). NWA wrestlers such as Aldis,James Storm, andEli Drake appeared at several ROH events, with ROH-contracted talent even winning NWA titles.[54][55] On September 1, 2018, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was featured atAll In, withCody defeating Aldis for the title, becoming the first second-generation NWA World heavyweight champion.[56] After All In, the NWA returned to hosting its own events. TheNWA 70th Anniversary Show, which took place on October 21, 2018, was the first to be produced directly under Lightning One,[57][9] and was co-produced withGlobal Force Entertainment; the event was streamed live onFITE TV.[58] The main event saw Aldis defeat Cody to recapture the NWA World Heavyweight Championship andWillie Mack winning a tournament for the vacantNWA National Championship, which became the main secondary title.
TheFourth Crockett Cup, an eight-team, single-elimination tournament that was revived to crown newNWA World Tag Team Champions, took place on April 27, 2019, as another collaboration between the NWA and ROH. This was the last event to be co-promoted with ROH; on July 24, 2019, the NWA announced that they had ended their partnership. Subsequently, it was announced the following month that the NWA would host tapings in Atlanta on September 30 and October 1 for a new television series, later revealed to be titledNWA Powerrr.[59][60][61]
In January 2020,Marty Scurll, and other Ring of Honor characters, began to appear at NWA events once again as part of an inter-promotional angle. In addition to re-signing with ROH, Scurll joined the company's booking team, enabling him to appear for both the NWA and ROH.[62][63] However, in the fallout of theSpeaking Out Movement, Scurll was accused of having intercourse with a 16-year-old female who was inebriated.[64] After an investigation, Scurll was removed from his position as booker, and by the following January in 2021, was no longer under contract.[65][66]
Nick Aldis was scheduled to facePCO atSupercard of Honor XIV on April 4, 2020, before the event was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[67] On June 18, 2020, Dave Lagana resigned as Vice President of the NWA after allegations of sexual assault were made public.[68] The promotion went on hiatus as a result of this and the pandemic. During this time, several wrestlers also left the NWA, including former Tag Team ChampionsJames Storm,[69]Eli Drake,[70]Marti Belle,[71] andRoyce Isaacs,[72] former Women's ChampionAllysin Kay,[73] former Television ChampionRicky Starks,[74] former Television ChampionZicky Dice.[75]
NWA World Women's ChampionThunder Rosa made appearances forAll Elite Wrestling (AEW) while under contract with the NWA. On September 5, 2020, Rosa unsuccessfully challengedAEW Women's World ChampionshipHikaru Shida atAll Out.[76] On October 27, 2020,Serena Deeb defeated Rosa during theUnited Wrestling Network's Primetime Live event to become the new NWA World Women's Champion.[77]
On March 2, 2021, the NWA announced their return to promoting events, with theBack For The Attack and newPowerrr episodes as part of a new distribution agreement withFITE TV.[78][79] As part of this agreement, the NWA removed content from their YouTube channel.[80]
On January 5, 2022, the NWA announced the launch of theNWA All Access subscription package on FITE TV, including past and upcoming pay-per-view events (PPV), new episodes ofPowerrr on Tuesdays, and the newly announcedNWA USA weekly series. In addition, it was announced thatPowerrr would return to YouTube, airing on Fridays after the FITE premiere, and thatNWA USA would air on Saturdays on the platform before moving to Sundays on FITE.[81] Finally, it was announced that the NWA would expand their PPV schedule to six events per year, as part of a new deal with FITE TV.[82] Though the partnership ended in 2023, with NWA's programming returning to YouTube, FITE still carries NWA PPV events.[83]
On October 9, 2023, the NWA reestablished itself as a governing body, withEC3'sNWA Exodus Pro Midwest being the firstterritory to be sanctioned.[13] On December 4, NWA welcomed Joe Cazana Promotions (JCP) to their territory system.[84]
On October 18, it was reported by news blog Haus of Wrestling that NWA had signed a deal withThe CW to airPowerrr and a reality show documenting behind the scenes footage.[85] However, acontroversial segment from that month'sSamhain PPV event, in whichFather James Mitchell along with several women and wrestlers were seen pretending to consumecocaine, drew negative reactions online.[86] The following month, The CW signed a deal withWWE for its weeklyNXT program.[87] Though it was rumored to be in-response to the Samhain segment, Corgan later revealed in a 2024 interview with Fightful that the CW executives didn't have a problem with the spot, and that "it was a completely invented story by either a troll inside the company, a leaker or something.”[88]
Following Samhain, episodes ofPowerrr were later added to The CW's app in November.[89] In January 2024, NWA announced that new episodes ofPowerrr would be available on The CW app from February 6.[90] The same year, NWA included new territories: NWA Chicago inChicago,Illinois,[91] Kross Fire Wrestling (KFW) inSevierville, Tennessee,[92]World League Wrestling inMissouri as NWA's developmental system,[93] and NWA Texas.[94]
On May 16, 2025,Variety reported thatParamount Global Content Distribution would launchWrestling Central, afree ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel onThe Roku Channel in the United States and Canada. The channel will feature weekly NWA matches alongside WOW –Women of Wrestling, marking NWA's first appearance on a FAST platform.
