nwa tittle tna losing rights

[punjabi king]

Mike Johnson is reporting that TNA will be losing the rights to the NWA name and the NWA titles in the next several months. TNA has plans to introduce their own set of World and Tag Team titles very soon. One scenario being discussed would see Samoa Joe win the NWA title and then toss it down saying he's the TNA champion instead much like Shane Douglas did in ECW back in 1995.

Over the weekend, at an NWA show in Canada, Bryan Danielson made a challenge saying he wants to be the NWA champion. The NWA committee met and once the titles are gone from TNA Danielson is in line to be the next champion.

^1994

That would be stupid to do the same thing Douglas did. Everybody would know right away where they got the idea for that.

[Jimmy The Bastard]

TNA has rights til 2014. so it wouldn't be the NWA causing them to make their own titles.

[iEdge]

Atleast TNA gets their own belts.

TNA World Champion...sounds nice.

[Juan Miguels]

Yea it sounds like..."Tits and Ass World Champion". lol

[punjabi king]

its better for their image to cause when they make the switch it will seam like tna is its own show instead of nwa's show

[UTisNUM1]

LoL Copy Shane Douglas! Ha, so original

[cena645]

Yea it sounds like..."Tits and Ass World Champion". lol

my older brother who is wrestling illiterate says everytime i watch tna; wheres the tits and ass?

[chanandler20]

TNA already shit on the NWA title, so why not do it again

[toe nail124]

they should lose it in some type of river in an angle(like austin and the rock with the ic belt back in the 90's) idk thats a shitty idea the only thing is that we've seen just about every angle there is for that type of thing so i cant really thionk of a original idea thats half decent

TNA and NWA have been working on ending their working relationship and the ramifications could begin as early as the TNA PPV this Sunday. Ending the relationship means that the NWA will take back their World and Tag Team Title belts, and that TNA will need to create new belts.

It also means that TNA will no longer be able to reference the NWA history as a way to add lineage and credibility to their World and Tag Team Titles.

The main problem with the working agreement has been that TNA has not been following many of the rules that the NWA has regarding using their name and titles. The main one being that NWA requires to know in advance when a title is going to change hands. TNA has not been notifying them of this.

A split has been expected for awhile which is why TNA stopped using NWA in their name a long time ago (TNA was initially known as NWA-TNA).

The original partnership took place because Jerry Jarrett thought that having the NWA name tied with the TNA name would give the new promotion instant credibility for their weekly PPVs (TNA started as a PPV-exclusive promotion).

This isn't anything new. ECW also broke away from the NWA back in 1994 with a famous promo by Shane Douglas that established the new ECW belt.
----------------------

Just read this and can't see it happening this early, unless new belts are already made, which hasn't been reported so I doubt it

[punjabi king]

if there doing it on sunday maybe the dudleys will win and throw out the nwa titles along with joe

[Juan Miguels]

Doing the same thing as Shane = not a good idea. TNA will never be ECW...neither will anybody else. Why not be fucking original for a change?

[punjabi king]

I just thought of the best thing they could do with the nwa tittle smack don west over the head with it then joe can say the belt is no contaminated

[toe nail124]

that would be respectful^ but then again it is american wrestling and here for the most part they are used to sleezeball wwe stuff and recent tna stuff
