(Redirected from List of NWA territories)
This is a list of National Wrestling Alliance territories which are a group of smaller independent professional wrestling promotions that use the NWA name or claim some affiliation with the governing body, however many of these promotions do not have a strong claim to the original National Wrestling Alliance that existed in the 1940s - 1980s.
