			=== NWA Mexico and the end of the NWA titles in CMLL ===

			Earlier in 2008, [[Blue Demon Jr.]] announced a new NWA affiliate, [[NWA Mexico]]. There had not been an NWA allied company in Mexico since EMLL had left (though [[XLAW]] had run one show billed as an affiliate show in 2007.) As part of announcing the new company, Demon suggested the possibility of co-promoting with CMLL. CMLL ignored this offer, and Demon's later statements began to be less of an offer and more of a demand - the CMLL wrestlers who currently held NWA World championships must defend them on NWA shows, or give those titles up. CMLL continued to ignore Demon and NWA Mexico.

			In 2010, NWA Mexico declared the CMLL champions invalid, promised to hold tournaments for new champions later that summer, and warned of legal action if CMLL continued to use their initials on their shows. In response, CMLL simply dropped the NWA initials from the names of the championships, calling them only "World [weight class] Championship". CMLL continued to use the same physical belts, with the NWA logos, thru August of that year.

			On [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced they were retiring these championships and placing the belts in their museums. The current champions were given new belts with a new name.

			* [[Mephisto]]: [[CMLL Historic Welterweight Championship]]
			* [[Averno]]: [[CMLL Historic Middleweight Championship]]
			* [[Texano Jr.]]: [[CMLL Historic Light Heavyweight Championship]]

			Since forming, NWA Mexico has run six shows, including a year off between it's last show in April 2009 before returning on the August 2010 Lucha Libre Expo. The only frequently visible sign of NWA Mexico's existence is the [[NWA Mexican Lightweight Championship]] and [[NWA Mexican Welterweight Championship]], which appears to be a singular belt swapped between [[Skayde]] & [[Turbo]] indiscriminately. The tournaments announced to fill the NWA championships have not occurred.

	The [[National Wrestling Alliance]] was, for most of the 20th Century, the preeminent wrestling promotion in the world. In actuality, the NWA was a confederation of many different promotions operating under a common name for both marketing and networking purposes. One could see an NWA show in [[Los Angeles]], [[Mexico City]], [[Tokyo]], or even small towns throughout the [[United States]] or [[Mexico]], and be assured of a quality show. In addition, talent was traded between cities or "territories" to keep a constant influx of fresh faces for fans to see. The arrangment was beneficial to the promotors, the wrestlers, and the fans.
