CWA World Heavyweight Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CWA World Heavyweight Championship was the major singles title in the German professional wrestling promotion the Catch Wrestling Association.
The CWA World Heavyweight Championship was not recognised as a world heavyweight championship by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It changed hands, however, in four countries - South Africa, Austria, the United States and Germany - and three continents - Africa, Europe and North America.
