10 Underwhelming Wrestlers Who Held Legendary Titles.
4. Rob Conway
The NWA Championship was cast a momentary reprieve when TNA struck an agreement with the alliance to use the title as its world championship in 2002.
After regaining a modicum of respect, TNA's decision to leave the NWA sent the title back to the school gyms in 2007 - the same year Rob Conway was released from WWE.
Spending most of 2008-10 hostage in Mexico in the possession of Blue Demon, the NWA title returned stateside and was the focal point of a feud between Colt Cabana and Adam Pearce from 2010 to 2012.
However, in 2013 Rob Conway returned from wrestling oblivion.
No more talented than six years prior, Conway captured the once legendary title in March of 2013 and quickly became part one of the worst angles in modern wrestling history.
Much like the ill-fated NWA invasion of the WWF in 1998, an absurdly inferior version of that NWA invaded New Japan in 2013.
NJPW was in rarefied era of professional wrestling, when Conway showed up to horribly defeat Satoshi Kojima, Manabu Nakanishi and Jushin Liger.
In late 2013 Conway won NWA tag-team titles with fellow j-brone Jax Dane, becoming the only man in history to simultaneously hold the NWA Championship and NWA Tag-Team Championship.
