WWA World Heavyweight Championship (Los Angeles)
The WWA World Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship in the Los Angeles-based World Wrestling Association (WWA). The title was established as an offshoot of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship when Edouard Carpentier became recognized as world champion in Los Angeles, when the promotion was then known as the North American Wrestling Alliance. The championship was renamed with the promotion in May 1962, and was abandoned in 1968 after the WWA joined the NWA and was renamed NWA Hollywood Wrestling.
There are omonime world titles contested in World Wrestling Association (Indianapolis), World Wrestling Association and in World Wrestling Association (Korea), which are all omonime promotions of the original WWA and which all consider themselves to be the true WWA or its true heir.

“Self-love is the love of a man’s own self, and of everything else for his own sake. It makes people idolaters to themselves, and tyrants to all the world besides.”
