UWF Heavyweight Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The UWF Heavyweight Title was the premier title in the Universal Wrestling Federation. When Mid-South Wrestling changed its name to the UWF, the Mid-South North American title was retired and a tournament was held to crown a new UWF Heavyweight Champion. When Jim Crockett Promotions purchased the UWF, the title was defended in Crockett for awhile and was then retired.
