[edit] POV Issues
"In early 2001, McMahon bought a bankrupt WCW from AOL Time Warner and ECW (in 2003). After failing to revive WCW, he created his own competition, by splitting the WWE in half. He made RAW and SmackDown! their own brands/federations; with their own World Titles. However, wrestling purists wanted true competition; not the WWE watering down its "monopoly". Enter former NWA North American Champion Jeff Jarrett."
It's not, in my opinion, accurate to describe McMahon as "failing" to revive WCW, when to my knowledge, he never made any attempt to keep WCW on the air as a stand-alone company at all. Furthermore, many people believe he intentionally buried newly-arriving WCW talent during the 2001 "Invasion" angle on WWE television.
It's also somewhat unfair to describe wrestling purists collectively as a group as people who were looking for more competition with WWE, especially when its arguable that they already had some in the increasingly well known Ring of Honor promotion, which as far as "pure wrestling" goes, is generally thought by many to be far superior to most wrestling in TNA, which is where this article is leading. It is of course true however that WWE has had no significant televised competition since early 2001, however.
My main issue with this is that it treats TNA like it was some sort of godsend against WWE. All I need to know is the history of the title, I don't need mild theatrics in my articles. I'll be editing shortly.--Pathogen 01:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title History
Just wondering - would it be useful to edit the page so that it contains a full title history, from Orville Brown's victory in July 1947 until present? It just seems that this page is a little incomplete without this information. *Sam**Sam*
(03/07/06) - Just realised that I made a mistake as the list of champions is seperate - apologies! *Sam* 17:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)*Sam*
7/4/06 - Only the NWA World title was recognized by all teritories, not the World tag team title. Up until the early 80's a few territories had their own versions of the World Tag team title (Mid-Atlantic, Detroit, LA etc.)

Should someone have the time, sure. Perhaps you could start the ball rolling for us. --Aaru Bui DII 08:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
