Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Part 3

When TNA was first launched, the on-air authority figure was a representative appointed by the NWA. Notable figures in this position included NWA Vice President Bill Behrens, Ricky Steamboat and Bob Armstrong.

Between July 23, 2003 to date, the on-screen authority figure within TNA was the "Director of Authority".
Erik Watts (July 23, 2003 – January 28, 2004)
Vince Russo (February 18, 2004 – November 7, 2004)
Dusty Rhodes (November 7, 2004 – June 16, 2005)
Jim Cornette (June 18, 2006 – Present)
The position was effectively abandoned after Rhodes resigned from the company.

The NWA Championship Committee was a group of wrestling veterans who acted as arbitrators, determining a winner in the event of a time limit draw.
Dusty Rhodes (founder, original member, November 2004 - June 2005)
Harley Race (original member, November 2004 - ???)
Terry Funk (original member, November 2004 - March 2005, even though he was never seen on-screen in TNA)
Roddy Piper (replacement for Funk, March 2005 - ???)
Larry Zbyszko (original member, November 2004 - 2006)
After Race and Piper left TNA, the Committee essentially ceased to exist as a physical on-screen body, although it is still referenced for purposes of angles.

In October 2005, Larry Zbyszko began repeatedly referencing a faceless authority within TNA known only as "TNA Management". "TNA Management" has in the past been represented by "special referee" Earl Hebner, "consultant" Dave Hebner and "messenger" Christy Hemme. The newest face of "TNA Management" was revealed at Slammiversary 2006 as Jim Cornette, who has been called the "Management Director" in press releases following that pay-per-view.

Today we also have Mick Foley as the Executive Shareholder, Jim Cornette, still the Management Director and Traci Brooks as the Knockouts Division Commissioner.
