There was very little resemblance, and the only major argument you can make it for the lineage and history of the NWA title (which actually meant something to fans in those days). With belts nothing more than props today, even in WWE, that isn't really a factor you can consider.
The major argument I can make was the program went from being called NWA to WCW. They had the same audience when they turned over. This was a HUGE leg up.
