NWA the Oldest and Largest Wrestling Organization

The nation's Wrestling coalition ( or NWA wrestling for short) is the oldest and biggest recognized body for promoting and ruling diverse independent wrestling championships across the nation. Simply put, NWA wrestling is the big dog when it comes to the world of wrestling; bearing the scars of the profession since WWII.

Given the gigantic grip it once had in the forty's thru to the eighty's, it'd be hard to imagine that the largest hall of heroes' party has allowed the contest to take much of what it held.

So here's the query : what precisely occurred to NWA wrestling?

The Beginning
In the late 40's, the NWA took the lead in organizing regional wrestling matches. Each territory in the United States (Japan included) had their own promoter highlighting matches when and where they were needed. The NWA would then bring the wrestling stars to the area where these promoters operated in, and would set the standards for wrestling positions, rankings and championship belts: heavyweight champion, tag team champions, junior heavyweight champion, world heavyweight champions, and others.

This was the highlight of NWA's presence in the wrestling business - few other wrestling bodies could match the sheer scope of NWA's regional scope.

One of the most damaging changes that hit NWA wrestling was the upward thrust of videos and cable TV the eighty's the eighty's brought with it.

The result : the 'greatness' of the stars were questioned as their supposed ability in wrestling was carefully scrutinized and critiqued on TV. They did not draw the support of the crowds as time passed; prompting the NWA to give ground to other wrestling bodies.

The NWA had simply been unable to acclimatize to the technical advances that modified the face of professional wrestling forever. Political failures to properly negotiate for and maintain moneymaking partnerships with other wrestling bodies had further obstructed its expansion.

NWA wrestling still holds a significant presence in the wrestling scene, from world championship wrestling and junior heavyweight championships, to tag team championships. But this presence is not as powerful or as strong or as tough the weight of other wrestling associations : evidence that even the biggest of bodies can lose ground when unready for the inescapable tide of change. .
