In an interview with Mike Mooneyham of the Charleston Post and Courier, NWA Champion Adam Pearce stated that he wants to bring prestige back to the championship and that he’s absolutely trying to mirror what guys like Jack Brisco, Harley Race, Ric Flair and others did early on by literally going everywhere in the world he can with the belt.

Pearce noted that people can say what they wnant about the NWA and the NWA Championship in its current incarnation, but the image of this belt, the 10 pounds of gold and everything makes the title the godfather of all modern wrestling championships and it’s a shame to him, as a wrestling fan first and foremost that today’s young generation of fans, really have no idea of what the belt even is.
