5.2. What is the NWA today?
Today, the NWA still exists, but in a very different form. The
only relation it bears to the NWA of 1948 to 1985 is on paper.
The NWA Board currently consists of Jim Crockett, Dennis
Coraluzzo and Steve Rickard, although it has been rumored that
Crockett has been served papers expelling him from the
organization. Crockett is not currently promoting wrestling.
Coraluzzo runs a promotion in New Jersey. Rickard promotes in New
Zealand. Also, Howard Brody runs an NWA affiliated group in
Florida.
On February 24, 1995, Chris Candido lost the NWA title in
Erlanger, KY to Dan Severn. After the split with WCW and two

time the NWA title changed hands in the ring in nearly two years.
