NWA show to start airing on national TV

[Stopspot]

NWA on Fire, a National Wrestling Alliance affiliate which runs shows in New York, New Jersey, Maine and several other Eastern seaboard States has released a press release this morning claiming it has cleared the Ion Network and will begin airing Friday nights at 11 PM Eastern. The ION clearance would give the promotion a potential national viewing audience as the network is carried by a number of cable and satellite outlets.

This is not the only wrestling show that will be appearing on the ION Television network soon. WWE’s Main Event will debut on Oct. 3, 2012

The NWA was one of the big dogs before WCW and WWE took off. They are a conglomeration of multiple local promotions.

Good to see more wrestling TV, especially from the oldest organization in the world.

I hope they have high production values so they can be taken as a serious contender when it comes to quality to TNA and WWE by the marks. As sad as it is to say people look just as much at the look of the ring and arena as they look at the in ring action.

WCW was part of the NWA up until just before it took off on TV. They then split so they could get all of the money from the TV show. Does that answer your question? I'll gladly explain some more if needed.

They bought loose the full rights to the WCW name from the NWA. Before WCW was run by Ted Turner it was owned in half by Crockett and half by the NWA. Ted Turner bought the full rights to WCW from the NWA.

So why does WWE have the right to NWA Matchest then?

The WWE have rights to some NWA matches, not all of them. When Turner bought full control of WCW he bought loose the match library of the Crockett part of the NWA as well since that is what had become WCW, they then became the property of the WWE when they bough WCW from Turner.

WWE also bought the rights to all of their old NWA matches from when Vince McMahons grandfather and father ran WWWF as part of the NWA.

The NWA is a big organization consisting of hundreds of wrestling promotions all over the united states. WWE hardly has the rights to all of the NWA's matches, simply the once they were involved in back when there was a connection between the NWA, WWE or any organization the WWE bought out.
