In case you didn't know...
Dave Lagana and Billy Corgan revived the NWA and did something incredible with it. They started the 'Ten Pounds of Gold' series of Youtube videos on the NWA channel and documented the travels and title defenses of first champion Tim Storm, and former champion Nick Aldis. Bringing the NWA Title back to relevance.
Aldis held the title for a long, long time but dropped it to Cody at the huge independent wrestling event ALL IN, in one of the nights biggest moments.
