List of National Wrestling Alliance Championships - Unofficial World Championships

Unofficial World Championships

NWA promoters from EMLL, later renamed the CMLL, in Mexico began promoting two more championships as World Titles, which were essentially regional titles controlled by EMLL. When the company withdrew from the organization in the 80's, the titles were no longer officially sanctioned by the NWA, however they were still promoted as NWA sanctioned titles by EMLL. In Lucha Libre, titles generally stay with their holder when that competitor leaves a region or company. This practice has caused theses titles, along with the Light Heavyweight Championship, to be accepted as "world titles" in Japan and Mexico. Weight limits for the titles are loosely followed by Lucha Libre promotions.

Famous quotes containing the word world:

    “What are the characteristics of today’s world so that one may recognize it by them?” It pays pensions and borrows money: credit and monuments.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
