History

The National Wrestling Alliance did not officially recognize any set of World Tag Team Champions until 1992, while the various NWA affiliates promoted their own "World Tag Team Championships", many of which were not eligible for World Title status considering they were rarely defended outside of the region in which they were created. The following are the variations that existed at one point or another[1]:

In the mid-1980s, Jim Crockett Promotions became the flag bearer for the NWA and began to openly refer to their Mid Atlantic version as the NWA World Tag Team Championship. In 1988, Jim Crockett Promotions was transformed into World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the title was renamed the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

In July 1992, the NWA held a tournament to crown an officially sanctioned NWA World Tag Team Championship. The tournament was held by WCW, whose World Tag Team Championship by that time was the only existing claim within the NWA and which had the most widely available television broadcasting. The tournament was won by Terry Gordy & Steve Williams. Gordy & Williams also won the WCW World Tag Team Championship in a non-tournament match on July 5, prior to the NWA tournament final and the two sets of titles remained united until September 1993, when WCW withdrew from the NWA, vacating the NWA World Tag Team Championship.

The NWA title belts were paid for by WCW and after the withdrawal from the NWA, the belts were continued to be used for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. The NWA had to pay for new belts, which were later used in TNA until TNA and the NWA split on May 13, 2007. As of January 17, 2008 the NWA withdrew its recognition of every tag team champion in WCW.[2]:

Reigns

As of May 15, 2011 there have been seventy-one total title reigns recognized by the NWA. The records for longest reign and most cumulative days as champions belong to Rasche Brown and Keith Walker; the team, known as the Skullkrushers, held the title for 777 days before losing the belts. The record for most combined reigns belongs to America's Most Wanted, who held the titles six times together. Both members of America's Most Wanted, James Storm and Chris Harris, share the record for most individual reigns with seven as each won the championship with a member of Triple X; Harris won the title with Elix Skipper while Storm won the title with Christopher Daniels.

The current champions are The Dark City Fight Club (Jon Davis and Kory Chavis), who are in their second reign as champions. They defeated the former champions The Usual Suspects (A.J. Steele and Murder One) on May 15, 2011 in Warner Robins, Georgia after having lost the titles to them on May 1, 2011 in the same venue.
