Yeah. Like before it is a series of independent promotions all over the country (and world) operating under the bigger NWA banner. They've paid membership fees and have to book the world, world tag and junior heavyweight champions. But they also get to have a NWA regional/promotional belt and the NWA helps promote them.Interesting! I thought NWA was defunct? Does it still have shows/etc in the US indy scene?
Pretty much like the RoH NJPW relationship now then?Yeah. Like before it is a series of independent promotions all over the country (and world) operating under the bigger NWA banner.

Granted it is a much much smaller operation than what it once was.
New Japan were their Japanese partner up until 2015, but the relationship was very much in new japan's favor.
1. Very much so but even more so. Kojima and Tenzan had NWA world title reigns and Liger was Jr champ for a while as well. At least ROH has not had much of that outside of the Ishii TV title run.Pretty much like the RoH NJPW relationship now then?
So with Corgan buying rights to NWA and such, he now is the single owner of that 'association' as in membership fees and all that go to him? Is it viable for NWA to run its own show ala impact?
Another big question is if he bought the video archive as well, and what he does with that.I do find this quite interesting. I've been following a couple NWA promotions for a while. I was a huge fan of NWA Southern All Star Wrestling, which is now known as NWA Inferno. That's where I became a fan of Nicky Iggy and Kerry Awful, who are now a tag team called the Carnies. I loved watching the show at 11PM Sunday nights because it reminded me of wrestling when I was younger.
Anyway, I'm interested in seeing what Corgan will do with this, since he purchased ownership of the umbrella organization and not any of the member promotions.

Wow all the NWA Affiliated shows on tape, that has to be a goldmine from the golden age of wrestling.
Well, if I am not mistaken, everything except Jim Crockett Promotions since WWE owns that. All that 1980's NWA stuff with Flair is JCP/WCW, so he wouldn't have any of that.
