I am making a quiz that references various wrestling promotions. Should the promotions' names be in quotations?

Which is correct?
"World Wrestling Federation"
"National Wrestling Alliance"

OR

World Wrestling Federation
National Wrestling Alliance

Also, in the quiz I avoided using acronyms (i.e. WWF, WWE, NWA). Thoughts on that?

In most cases, only titles of media need to be in quotes - movies, tv shows, magazines, books, articles, etc.

Further, they only need to be in quotes when NOT otherwise separated from surrounding material. An example:

In a quiz title: A Brave New World - The Characters vs. The Characters of "A Brave New World" (If the title was simply "A Brave New World" quotes would not be needed.)

Anytime a title of media stands completely alone, like in a multiple choice answer, quotes can be omitted (though including them is not wrong, just be consistent). If the title is the answer to an FITB question, the quotes MUST be omitted.
