The Territories had their own belts but the NWA belts where the biggest belts in the USA and it made it really special when the NWA World, North American, TV, Tag Team, or women’s champion came into ICW or WCCW or RFWFWFWF or whatever. And it worked…for awhile. The people running the NWA where pretty dicky at times and always had their favorites. Which made AWA and Capitol Wrestling Corporation (WWE) break off and soon WCCW and Jim Crockett Promotions (WCW) followed. And Once Vince jr. Pretty much killed off the territories there was no need for NWA.
actually WWE was a member of the NWA up until Vince Jr went national in '84.

WWE just didn't make it widely known to their audience. Vince Sr even voted for Flair to be NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
