Let's see:

ECW, broke away from the NWA, now dead.
WCW, broke away from the NWA, now dead.
TNA, broke away from the NWA, is now TNA.

NWA, still alive, not TNA. NWA wins.

You could conceivably put UWF/Mid-South, WCCW and the AWA on this list too, at the very least

I don't know how Tharpe thinks Corgan is fresh to wrestling - how long ago was he running his own promotion in Chicago?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I seem to recall Corgan being a lot happier in interviews pre-Mellon Collie, before the band added 'The' to their title. Maybe he was happier being indie.

He's only agreed to purchase it "in principle". There's still 3-6 months of court proceedings and mindless mudslinging if Billy Pumpkins track record is any indication.

It hasn't had the best looking world title since the 90s. This is the current NWA title:

This is 2017. Territories as we knew them are dead. The NWA existed to keep the territories from eating each other. Why does the NWA exist in 2017? How is it something that can be purchased?

For the last 24 or so years it's basically a name that other promotions have used to get some credibility for during an angle and that's about it.
