Talk:NWA World's Heavyweight Championship

message: "In early 2001, McMahon bought a bankrupt WCW from AOL Time Warner and ECW (in 2003). After failing to revive WCW, he created his own competition, by splitting the WWE in half. He made RAW and SmackDown! their own brands/federations; with their own World Titles. However, wrestling purists wanted true competition; not the WWE watering down its "monopoly". Enter former NWA North American Champion Jeff Jarrett."
It's not, in my opinion, accurate to describe McMahon as "failing" to revive WCW, when to my knowledge, he never made any attempt to keep WCW on the air as a stand-alone company at all. Furthermore, many people believe he intentionally buried newly-arriving WCW talent during the 2001 "Invasion" angle on WWE television.
It's also somewhat unfair to describe wrestling purists collectively as a group as people who were looking for more competition with WWE, especially when its arguable that they already had some in the increasingly well known Ring of Honor promotion, which as far as "pure wrestling" goes, is generally thought by many to be far superior to most wrestling in TNA, which is where this article is leading. It is of course true however that WWE has had no significant televised competition since early 2001, however.
My main issue with this is that it treats TNA like it was some sort of godsend against WWE. All I need to know is the history of the title, I don't need mild theatrics in my articles. I'll be editing shortly.--Pathogen 01:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Just wondering - would it be useful to edit the page so that it contains a full title history, from Orville Brown's victory in July 1947 until present? It just seems that this page is a little incomplete without this information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by *Sam* (talk • contribs) 19:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What would we should say about the fact that the NWA are going to part ways with TNA and withdraw their World and Tag Team titles? I mean, some Internet PW are assuring that this stuff was confirmed, e.g.  and even on this site  they were promoting the beginning of a tournament for the NWA World title. Invitation to all the WP:PW members to saying something about this subject. Xbox6 02:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not trying to sound too rough here, but there is no "fact" that they are going to part ways.  It's been well publicized that TNA negotiated for the rights to the titles until 2014.  I generally don't find a myspace page and a wrestling tabloid site to be websites I would confirm stuff from.  TNA has the right to do what they want with the titles until 2014 (including handing them back to the NWA)...so it would be foolish for the NWA to plan anything for those titles until they had a finished signed agreement.  Even if they were to do something, Wikipedia isn't a rumor or mark site, it is a site to document facts...we'd have to wait until after something happened to put it up.Theophilus75 20:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to be a whatever, but it's been a fact for months. Tons of wrestlers have made a challenge for the belt, as seen on NWA's official website. (http://www.nwawrestling.com/PHP-Nuke/modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=6) If it was staying in TNA until 2014 as was originally the case, this wouldn't be happening. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Calaschysm (talk • contribs) 23:57, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

text: We really don't need to say anything about it right now since there has yet to be an official announcement regarding the situation (though the rumor sites are now saying TNA has actually received the belts and is planning to make the switch soon, possibly even tonight).  When it does happen, we'll just make mention of it here and convert TNA World Heavyweight Championship from a redirect to a full article. Jeff Silvers 17:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Future of NWA World Title? 

message: I made a couple edits to this page and just wanted to let people know so it doesn't get changed back. I fixed the tag for the NWA title photo and reverted the active dates back from 2002-2007 as it was listed at. I also removed the line about Lou Thesz being "remarkably the greatest world champion of all time", since that is opinion and not fact.Garistotle 13:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: From ROH Message Boards, Gabe Sapolsky himself.
"Bryan saw an eye specialist today and it was found that he had a detached retina. He had laser surgery today where they re-attached the retina and tightened the muscles surrounding the eye. The reason his eye couldn't come down after the match was because the muscle was loosened. It's an outpatient surgery, so he was released today after having surgery this morning. The surgery went well, and there's a 90% he will regain vision, although it may be blurred.
It is recommended he take 4-6 weeks off. He will have a check up next week and the week after to check on his progress. I promise you all that we will not rush Bryan back. Bryan is maybe the toughest individual I've ever known and that covers a lot of ground. No one saw the locker room scene after almost all of his matches after the shoulder injury and how much pain he was in and how he was able to gut it out at his own insistence. This isn't a guy that takes pain killers or anything even close. He is also a guy that knows his limits. He is just incredibly tough."
Just thought I'd post this, as he definitely isn't going to make the Finals of the NWA Title Tourney this Saturday. TonyFreakinAlmeida 05:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "10 lbs of Gold" 

message: I don't think it's appropriate for the article, certainly not for the early history section. It's entirely WWE centric, only focusing on the WWWF split and WCW split and those various unifications, with absolutely nothing for the AWA, ECW, or TNA splits (or any others I may be forgetting/unaware of). Furthermore, a lot of what happens in that diagram (most of it actually) isn't from the title's early history at all. I have no problem with the diagram as presented on a WWE title page (and I've seen it there as well) I just don't believe it belongs here on the NWA title page, at least not without some major adjustments.76.226.192.201 (talk) 09:15, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

message: There is an IP user, who refuses to get a registered username for some reason, that is continuously adding inaccurate information. They keep saying that the 1993 lawsuit between the NWA and WCW gave WCW the rights to the “historical lineage” of the NWA World Title, meaning WCW can claim that the WCW World Title that was created in 1991 is the same as the NWA World Title that was created in 1948. Nowhere in the lawsuit does it say that WCW gets those rights. It only said WCW gets the rights to continue using the big gold belt and could continue referring to it as a world title. Just because WCW’s commentators claimed the WCW title had the same lineage as the NWA title, doesn’t mean it’s true. They also claimed the WCW title dates back to 1905. That is also factually inaccurate. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:28, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

message: As for PWI, their world title recognition means nothing. Yes they were a very popular magazine at one point, but they do not have, nor did they ever, have any authority or control at all over which championships are actually considered world championships. It was just the opinion of the magazine editors. Including any information about what PWI did or did not consider a world title will only confuse the already complicated history of the NWA World title even further. It is unnecessary.
