I think they were some good company at that time. But then wcw and wwf/e got better so they didn't need them. Later on tna withdrew from nwa. now nwa is crappppppppppp!
Apparently a masked wrestler can be NWA Champion now. Back in the 1980's, there was a NWA bylaw stating a masked wrestler could not be champion. Dusty Rhodes, suspended at the time by NWA, won a NWA title match over Ric Flair while wearing a mask, but the title never changed hands and was not recognized because Rhodes refused to unmask.
I dont think NWA is on TV anymore, but TNA is on Spike TV(channel 30 for cable) at 9:00
Sting was with the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and WCW (World Championship Wrestling) before he joined TNA
