NWA World Heavyweight Championship

The NWA World Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship in the National Wrestling Alliance. Although formally established in 1948, its lineage has been traditionally traced backwards to the first World Heavyweight Championship, which traces its lineage to the title first awarded to Georg Hackenschmidt in 1905, which he subsequently lost to Frank Gotch in 1908. This effectively makes it the oldest surviving wrestling championship in the world. The title has been competed for in such well-known promotions as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF, now WWE), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW, later Extreme Championship Wrestling), Ring of Honor (ROH), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, now Impact Wrestling). With many territorial promotions appearing across the United States, the NWA was formed in 1948 as an overall governing wrestling body. Like franchises, these territories had the option of NWA membership. The promotion owners had to recognize the NWA heavyweight, junior heavyweight, and light heavyweight champions as world champions while retaining their own ownership and top champion. Ric Flair holds the record for the most reigns with nine.
