Someone explain the NWA, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, GCW, WWW & MSW

So, I am looking up the National Wrestling Alliance along with Jim Crockett Promotions and am attempting to differentiate all the wrestling promotions between the two entities.

From what I can tell Jim Crockett Promotions became affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance in 1952. So the NWA basically supplied the MAJOR stars to Jim Crockett Promotions from there on forward. But then Jim Crockett Promotions later on the the 70's and 80's opened up Georgia Championship Wrestling, Mid-South Wrestling, Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, Wide World Wrestling (later changed to World Wide Wrestling) and then World Championship Wrestling.

I guess they should be more accurately be described as Territory's but were these companies all under Jim Crockett Promotions banner? Like, would Georgian Championship Wrestling be Jim Crockett Promotion's WWE Raw brand and Mid-Atlantic Wrestling being Jim Crockett Promotion's WWE SmackDown! brand kind of deal?

Or do I have this all wrong and these were all seperate wrestling organizations just under the NWA umbrella, rolled together and clutterfucked?

Just need some clarification, or is the whole situation so confusing that no one can really 100% clarify.
