# Territori della National Wrestling Alliance

I territori della National Wrestling Alliance sono un insieme di federazioni a cui viene concesso in licenza l'utilizzo del marchio NWA per l'utilizzo dei titoli e la promozione di spettacoli televisivi.
Questi territori sono composti da piccole o medie federazioni indipendenti che vengono collegate tra loro grazie all'affiliazione presso la NWA e, tramite questo sistema, possono promuovere attraverso l'intero circuito territoriale sia i propri lottatori che i campionati.
C'è una significativa differenza tra territori e federazioni indipendenti e mentre i territori funzionano solo come affiliati alla NWA e da essa dipendono, le promozioni indipendenti funzionano da sole oppure collaborano con NWA e riconoscono le altre promozioni esistenti a volte ospitando gli eventi ed anche permettendone l'utilizzo dei titoli come ad esempio fanno Ring of Honor (ROH) e New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) e ciò dimostra che negli ultimi decenni le promozioni indipendenti sono diventate più popolari dei territori stessi.

## Storia

In passato e grazie a questa affiliazione, la NWA poteva agire come organo di governo in grado di gestire gli scambi dei talenti del settore (o di riconoscere un solo campione mondiale) e proteggendo sia la propria integrità essenziale che quella del suo circuito territoriale. Inoltre, e promuovendo a sua volta i propri campionati attraverso le varie federazioni ad essa affiliate riuscì divenire, verso la metà degli anni settanta (e per circa un decennio), la più potente e prestigiosa federazione di wrestling mondiale.
Nel decennio seguente però questo sistema subì una fase di declino in quanto sia la secessione della World Championship Wrestling (WCW) che l'espansione della concorrente World Wrestling Federation (successivamente diventata WWE), ma anche il precedente abbandono delle due federazioni giapponesi (New Japan Pro-Wrestling e All Japan Pro Wrestling), determinò il superamento di questo sistema e portò alla fuoriuscita dal circuito (od anche al fallimento) di numerosi territori a suo tempo affiliati.
Solo nel secondo decennio del duemila infine, e dopo l'intervento di Bruce Tharpe (presidente della NWA dal 2012) è avvenuta una svolta che ha portato a mutare il sistema dei territori gestiti come organismo condizionato da un'unica organizzazione verso un insieme di federazioni a cui viene concesso in licenza il marchio NWA.
