National Wrestling Alliance
Template:Short description Template:About Template:Distinguish Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox company
The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is an American professional wrestling promotion and governing body owned by Billy Corgan and operated by its parent company Lightning One, Inc.<ref name="PWI"/>
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 a territory system which sanctioned their own company championships 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 the United 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 the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF, now WWE) national 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.<ref name=BleacherReport>Template:Cite web</ref> The NWA continued as a loose coalition of independent promotions,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> with NWA: Total Nonstop Action (NWA:TNA) given exclusivity over its World Heavyweight and Tag Team championships from June 2002 to May 2007.<ref name="The History of TNA: Year 1">Template:Cite video</ref>
In August 2012, the NWA discontinued its memberships and started licensing its brand to wrestling promotions.<ref name="PWInsider.com">Template:Cite web</ref> In 2017, it was purchased by Billy Corgan through his Lightning One, Inc. company.<ref name=CorganPurchase/> By late 2019–2023, the NWA had transitioned into a stand-alone, singular promotion.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref>
In October 2023, the NWA re-established its territory system, with Michael Hutter's NWA Exodus Pro Midwest being the first promotion sanctioned.<ref name=ExoProMidwest>Template:Cite web</ref>
History
Template:Professional wrestling sidebar
Formation
In 1948, Paul "Pinkie" George, a professional wrestling promoter from the U.S. Midwest, founded the National Wrestling Alliance with the backing of six other promoters: Al Haft, Tony Stecher, Harry Light, Orville Brown, Don Owen, and Sam 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 ever NWA World Heavyweight Champion.<ref name=sa8>Shaun Assael. Sex, Lies, & Headlocks (p.8)</ref>
Governing body
1950s–1970s
In 1950, Sam Muchnick, one of the original promoters of the NWA and Lou 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.Template:Citation needed Following the advent of television, 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.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=sex,lies>Template:Cite book</ref> From 1948 to 1955, each of the three major television networks broadcast wrestling shows; the largest supporter being the DuMont Television Network.<ref name=sex,lies/>
In 1956, allegations were made that the NWA was an illegal monopoly blocking competition. An investigation led by the US Department of Justice resulted in the NWA Consent Decree of 1956 (United States v. National Wrestling Alliance).<ref>United States vs. National Wrestling Alliance http://wrestlingperspective.com/legal/consentdecree.html</ref> Several promoters left the organization during this time, with some managing to find niches in the United States. In 1957, Montreal promoter Eddie 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 named Édouard 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.<ref name=slam>Template:Cite web</ref>
As the 1950s came to a close, professional wrestling was losing television ratings, and soon TV stations dropped most wrestling shows from their lineups.<ref name=sex,lies-pg11>Template:Cite book</ref> The remaining televised wrestling promoters had small, local syndicated shows, which aired as late-night filler programming.<ref name=sex,lies-pg13>Template:Cite book</ref> Promoters started using localized television by purchasing airtime from rival territories, at the consequence of putting some of them out of business.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
On January 24, 1963, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Lou Thesz defeated Buddy Rogers in a one-fall match and was declared NWA World Heavyweight Champion for the third and final time.Template:Citation needed However, after the event, Vincent J. McMahon and Toots Mondt of the Capital Wrestling Corporation (CWC) refused to recognize the title change since Thesz was not a strong draw in their Northeastern territory. They then withdrew the CWC from the NWA.<ref name=won2011>Template:Cite journal</ref> As a result, McMahon and Mondt formed the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, later to be known as WWE) with Rogers as its first world 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.Template: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 declared Atlanta, Georgia as the "leading wrestling city" for its "drawing capacity and near-capacity crowds at the City Auditorium or the Omni every Friday."<ref name=Sporskeeda>Template:Cite web</ref> While the American 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-superstation TBS in 1979. They brought in Gordon 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.<ref name=Sporskeeda/>
1980s–1993
Videotape trading and cable 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 like Ric Flair on TV every week made their special appearances in each region less of a draw.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The WWF left the NWA for good in 1983, as Vincent K. McMahon, who bought the WWF from his father in 1982, worked to get WWF programming on syndicated television all across the United States.Template:Citation needed That same year, Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) and the NWA created its primary supercard, Starrcade, the first to be broadcast via closed-circuit networks and was regarded as their flagship event.
On Saturday, July 14, 1984, in what would become known as Black Saturday, McMahon bought NWA member Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) and merged it into the WWF. The WWF took over GCW's TV slot on TBS, which had been home to GCW's World Championship Wrestling program for 12 years.<ref>Shaun Assael. Sex, Lies, & Headlocks (p.61)</ref> This move proved disastrous as ratings plummeted, and the WWF ended up losing money on the deal. Then-NWA President Jim Crockett, Jr., the owner of JCP, bought the World 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
With the success of WrestleMania 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 around Christmas Day beginning in 1988.Template:Citation needed The WWF then scheduled their first Royal Rumble event in January 1988 to counterprogram against the NWA's Bunkhouse Stampede.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The NWA responded by creating Clash of the Champions on TBS to counterprogram WrestleMania IV.Template:Citation needed
By 1988, Jim Crockett Promotions was facing bankruptcy. On October 11, under the direction of owner Ted Turner, TBS bought the assets of JCP and renamed it World Championship Wrestling (WCW) after the TV show of the same name.<ref name=eb60>Template:Cite book</ref> 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 of NWA World Championship Wrestling that very same date in WCW's hometown of Atlanta.<ref name="First date">Template:Cite web</ref> By September 1993, WCW would withdraw completely from the NWA.
1993–2012
On August 27, 1994, NWA: Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW) held a World Title tournament for the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Unbeknownst to any one, the event was staged for ECW's public withdrawal from the NWA, with tournament winner Shane 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 founder Tod Gordon subsequently announced ECW's secession from the NWA, rechristening the promotion as Extreme Championship Wrestling.<ref name="Loverro2007">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Linder">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="Fritz2006">Template:Cite book</ref>
From 1994 to 1997 the most visible NWA promotion was Dennis Coralluzzo's NWA New Jersey/Championship Wrestling America, which lasted until 2000. NWA New Jersey worked with promotions such as IWA Japan and Steve Corino's North Carolina-based NWA 2000; the latter eventually merged with the New Jersey territory.
In 1998, the World Wrestling Federation reached an agreement to use the likeness of the NWA titles, branding, and its history, to create a storyline.<ref name="NWA Invasion">Template:Cite web</ref> It would be later claimed that WWE still owned the rights.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=PurchaseUpdate/> Despite the NWA receiving international television publicity during the angle, it was considered a failure due to low viewer interests.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In June 2002, Jeff and Jerry Jarrett launched a new promotion called NWA: 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 2007 Sacrifice pay-per-view event on May 13.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
On September 17, 2010, KDOC-TV Los Angeles premiered NWA: Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.
R. Bruce Tharpe and International Wrestling Corp. (2012–2017)
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.<ref name="PWInsider.com"/>
The new organization moved from a membership model to a licensing model and significantly reduced the amount of territory some of the members held,<ref name=CorganPurchase/> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Other major NWA territories like NWA 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Billy Corgan and Lightning One, Inc. (2017–present)
2017–2019: Acquisition and relaunch
On May 1, 2017, it was reported that Billy Corgan, lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins, had agreed to purchase the NWA, including its name, rights, trademarks and championship belts.<ref name=CorganPurchase>Template:Cite web</ref> The report was confirmed by Tharpe that same day.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Over the following weeks, the NWA trademarks were moved from Tharpe's International Wrestling Corp. over to Corgan's Lightning One, Inc. production company.<ref name=PurchaseUpdate>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="PWI"/><ref name="si.com"/>
On September 23, 2017, Nick Aldis made his debut for Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and challenged Tim Storm for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On December 9, Aldis defeated Storm in a rematch at Cage of Death 19 to become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, making him the second British-born champion after Gary Steele.<ref name="NWATitleWin">Template:Cite web</ref>
In 2018, the NWA briefly allied with Impact Wrestling, the former NWA:TNA, to hold an Empty Arena match at Universal Orlando in Orlando, Florida. It was contested by Tim Storm and Jocephus and served as a qualifier to challenge then-NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis. The match was recorded on January 14, 2018, and uploaded to YouTube the next day.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Starting in 2018, NWA allied with Ring of Honor (ROH). NWA wrestlers such as Aldis, James Storm, and Eli Drake appeared at several ROH events, with ROH-contracted talent even winning NWA titles.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On September 1, 2018, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was featured at All In, with Cody defeating Aldis for the title, becoming the first second-generation NWA World heavyweight champion.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> After All In, the NWA returned to hosting its own events. The NWA 70th Anniversary Show, which took place on October 21, 2018, was the first to be produced directly under Lightning One,<ref name="NWA70">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=CorganPurchase/> and was co-produced with Global Force Entertainment; the event was streamed live on FITE TV.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The main event saw Aldis defeat Cody to recapture the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and Willie Mack winning a tournament for the vacant NWA National Championship, which became the main secondary title.
The Fourth Crockett Cup, an eight-team, single-elimination tournament that was revived to crown new NWA 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 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 titled NWA Powerrr.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref>
2020–2023: COVID-19, restructuring, and departures
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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> However, in the fallout of the Speaking Out Movement, Scurll was accused of having intercourse with a 16-year-old female who was inebriated.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> After an investigation, Scurll was removed from his position as booker, and by the following January in 2021, was no longer under contract.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Nick Aldis was scheduled to face PCO at Supercard of Honor XIV on April 4, 2020, before the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On June 18, 2020, Dave Lagana resigned as Vice President of the NWA after allegations of sexual assault were made public.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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 Champions James Storm,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Eli Drake,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Marti Belle,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Royce Isaacs,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> former Women's Champion Allysin Kay,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> former Television Champion Ricky Starks,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> former Television Champion Zicky Dice.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
NWA World Women's Champion Thunder Rosa made appearances for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) while under contract with the NWA. On September 5, 2020, Rosa unsuccessfully challenged AEW Women's World Championship Hikaru Shida at All Out.<ref name="All Out2020">Template:Cite web</ref> On October 27, 2020, Serena Deeb defeated Rosa during the United Wrestling Network's Primetime Live event to become the new NWA World Women's Champion.<ref name="NWAchamp">Template:Cite web</ref>
On March 2, 2021, the NWA announced their return to promoting events, with the Back For The Attack and new Powerrr episodes as part of a new distribution agreement with FITE TV.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> As part of this agreement, the NWA removed content from their YouTube channel.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
On January 5, 2022, the NWA announced the launch of the NWA All Access subscription package on FITE TV, including past and upcoming pay-per-view events (PPV), new episodes of Powerrr on Tuesdays, and the newly announced NWA USA weekly series. In addition, it was announced that Powerrr would return to YouTube, airing on Fridays after the FITE premiere, and that NWA USA would air on Saturdays on the platform before moving to Sundays on FITE.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Though the partnership ended in 2023, with NWA's programming returning to YouTube, FITE still carries NWA PPV events.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
2023–present: Return of the territories; The CW partnership
On October 9, 2023, the NWA reestablished itself as a governing body, with EC3's NWA Exodus Pro Midwest being the first territory to be sanctioned.<ref name=ExoProMidwest/> On December 4, NWA welcomed Joe Cazana Promotions (JCP) to their territory system.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
On October 18, it was reported by news blog Haus of Wrestling that NWA had signed a deal with The CW to air Powerrr and a reality show documenting behind the scenes footage.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> However, a controversial segment from that month's Samhain PPV event, in which Father James Mitchell along with several women and wrestlers were seen pretending to consume cocaine, drew negative reactions online.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The following month, The CW signed a deal with WWE for its weekly NXT program.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> 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.”<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Following Samhain, episodes of Powerrr were later added to The CW's app in November.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In January 2024, NWA announced that new episodes of Powerrr would be available on The CW app from February 6.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The same year, NWA included new territories: NWA Chicago in Chicago, Illinois,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Kross Fire Wrestling (KFW) in Sevierville, Tennessee,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> World League Wrestling in Missouri as NWA's developmental system,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and NWA Texas.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
