Don't hold me to this,because I'm slightly tired - so I might be off.
What it was was that Turner came in and took over Crockett, who
was a part of the NWA - not the entire NWA itself. They (Turner)
continued to use the NWA name, until they got tired of answering
to NWA officials, etc.. and switched to WCW.
NWA got pissed at this, so they went about and tried to regroup,
restart,etc.. as a main power. The belt WCW referred to as "the
big gold belt" was used as the international title in WCW, and th-
en later the World one. The NWA belt (seen on NWA-TNA) WAS
(and is) the NWA Title, and probably always will be.
NWA-TNA is just a division of NWA (there are tons of those) but
is ran by the higher ups in the NWA itself (Jarretts; Bill Behrens -
who is the president of the entire NWA). Behrens also owns NWA
Wildside (formerly NCW), which is an NWA division based in GA.
They are the group that turned out guys like Styles, Jason Cross,
etc.. - thus Styles becoming a bigger level player within NWA....
Confused yet?
