text: everyone has heard of tna wrestling but not the national wrestling alliance? tna is the second most popular pro wrestling promotion in the world but if you ask people about the national wrestling alliance, they'll confused it for the rap group. so my question is, why is tna so popular but the nwa gets no recognition and respect it deserves? the n.w.a. is one of the oldest wrestling promotions, it has a great history. there have been a lot of great world champions in n.w.a.,w.c.w.& e.c.w. were both part of n.w.a. at one point.
