Trevor Murdoch wants to see the National Wrestling Alliance get back to its roots and establish a territory system.
The NWA is best known for being the governing body of professional wrestling that ruled during the days of the territories. Now, the NWA is a promotion owned by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Its current champion, Trevor Murdoch, wants to see the brand get back to its roots and establish a territory with a presence in multiple former wrestling hotbeds.

“Just like anything else, we’re going to grow and we’re getting bigger and bigger with each show. What I personally would like to see is for the NWA to not so much focus on just one place, but hitting old school territories. I can see us, if we do it properly and build it properly, having a one-night trip to Hammerstein Ballroom, but then hitting North Carolina and Florida. Do those major territories. I’m not talking about going in and trying to dominate. Too many promoters are going to go out there and say, ‘this is where we wrestle, we own this area and this region.’ Horseshit. Everybody can love it all. I would really love to see NWA follow a territory-style system. That’s what we’re closely getting to. We established ourselves in Atlanta, and that’s what you need to do, now we’re working towards the Tennessee end of it. I’m hoping, eventually, we can do a Florida run. That’s another reason why we went to St. Louis, NWA was such a hotbed for pro wrestling with wrestling at the Chase,” he said.
Trevor Murdoch will defend the title tonight on NWA Powerrr against his rival, Mike Knox.
