This article says that Sandoz produces generics. I thought Sandoz became Novartis. SO Sandoz is still around under the name Sandoz? [[User:Jaberwocky6669|Jaberwocky6669]] July 1, 2005 03:19 (UTC)

The '''Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Heavyweight Championship''' is the primary [[professional wrestling]] [[Championship (professional wrestling)|championship]] in [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA).

==History==

No, some time after the merger, Novartis relaunched their generics under the brandname "Sandoz". The Sandoz company before the merger and the Novartis Sandoz brand have totaly differend product ranges. (the generics from both merger companies) [[User:81.221.97.181|81.221.97.181]] 03:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

===The start of the company===

In 2002, [[Jeff Jarrett]] and [[Jerry Jarrett]] formed [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|National Wrestling Alliance: Total Nonstop Action]], in the process negotiating a licensing deal with the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) that granted them rights to the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]] and the [[NWA World Tag Team Championship]].

TNA withdrew from the NWA in 2004, but secured the right to continue to use the two NWA championships until 2014. TNA were permitted to use the titles any way they saw fit, without requiring approval of the NWA Board of Directors. While these titles were still defended in several NWA territories and federations, control of the titles was exclusive to TNA.

===Title creation—NWA title vacated===

This company was mentioned regarding indian drug trials as part of a BBC documentary broadcast today. Could someone more familar with wikipedia write something about this

The agreement ended early on [[May 13]] [[2007]] when the NWA and TNA agreed to end their ongoing business relationship, with the NWA formally stripping the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion of the title. The champion, [[Jason Reso|Christian Cage]], continued to be recognized as the champion by TNA, thus becoming the first TNA World Heavyweight Champion. A new championship belt was unveiled on TNA's website on [[May 15]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tnawrestling.com/news/fullnews2.php?all=1246|title=TNA Today Exclusive: New World Heavyweight Title Revealed|date=2007-05-15|accessdate=2007-05-15|author=Banks, B.|publisher=[[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]]}}</ref>
