in the grand scale of things, they're all shitty little indy feds. And I highly doubt they're the first people to claim to want to "build it back into a national promotion", that probably comes from every person that uses the NWA name.
As for the initial question, NWA was never a standalone territory/fed in the sense that "NWA is running this town tonight, NWA is running that town tomorrow" etc, think of it as being like the FA and the different territories (Georgia, World Class, Florida, Crockett etc) being the leagues and whoever was NWA champion would spend various times in the different leagues against their top guys. So yeah, as Gertner said, basically when Vince went nationwide/taking the best talent and the territories started dying/promoters started trying to compete with him with no real foundation to do so, so did any real value the NWA name had. By the time Turner/WCW pulled out in the early 90's, it was dead. Everything else since except maybe the TNA part of history has been a zombie version stumbling around.
