History of NWA: The Cradle of the Legend in Professional Wrestling
Welcome to Wrestling Champions Community: We pay respect to the origins of pro wrestling! The story of the history of this sport cannot be complete without such an iconic organization as the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), one of the most powerful organizations in terms of professional wrestling ever.

Firebrand: The First United Front of 1948
NWA was created in the year 1948, after a grouping of regional wrestling promoters formed one single governing body. Their goal? To establish a recognized World Heavyweight Champion and instill some sanity on a crazy world of territory-based wrestling promotions.
This partnership defined the state of wrestling over many decades. NWA World Heavyweight Title replaced the former Heavyweight Championship and became the most desirable belt in the business which could only be competed by the cream of the crop across states and even countries.

The Golden Era:
This was the Era when Legends Were Born the 70s and 80s marked the heydays of the NWA. Under the banner of NWA such names as Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Terry Funk, and Ricky Dragon Steamboat became reputable. The championship belt hence known as Ten Pounds of Gold was not a title but a summit of mountain in professional wrestling A Worldwide Print A fair print in the world is the one that is respected and understood across the world.
The NWA was not restricted to the United States only. The NWA World Title was actively defended on a global basis, through liaisons with promotions in Japan, Canada, Mexico and Australia. This resulted in being one of the first world-wide wrestling championships in the history.

Challenges and Comebacks
As the wrestling world evolved, the rise of WWE (formerly WWF) and WCW challenged the NWA’s dominance. The 1990s brought tough times, but the NWA never disappeared. Fast forward to the modern era  under new leadership and with a fresh vision, the NWA was revived in 2017 by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame. With shows like NWA Powerrr, the brand blends old-school values with modern storytelling, earning respect from longtime fans and a new generation.
