The name of the heel faction. It's one thing for WWF to get one over on WCW and ECW, they also had to take one last shot at the NWA too, I guess.
(Unless I'm thinking too much into it...maybe it's cause I'm reading Death of the Territories now...)

Ohhh because it was the National Wrestling ALLIANCE
I think in this case it's a coincidence.

Wasn't there some kind of legal issue where they weren't able to really throw the company names around on-screen quite yet? I feel like it's reading into it a bit much if only because Vince McMahon does not do subtlety and any dig at the NWA would have been way more overt so that we knew 100% that Vince won the war against everybody.

They didn't actually own ECW yet, so they couldn't call them WCW/ECW anymore and had to come up with another name. However, I don't think it had anything to do with taking a shot at the NWA. |

Don't try and pretend Vince is clever or subtle.
You'll inevitably be less frustrated by him.

I believe it was actually a very bold foreshadowing of the future war between the XFL and AAF.
