WCW World Heavyweight Championship
The World Heavyweight Championship that has been carried by such greats as Batista and Triple H got its start in WWE back in 2002. But its prestigious lineage can actually be traced back all the way to George Hackenschmidt and 1904. For years, it was known as the NWA Championship; then when WCW pulled out of the NWA in the early 1990s, Ric Flair was recognized as the first-ever WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Since that time, top names such as Hulk Hogan, Sting, and Bret Hart carried the championship prior to WCW’s demise.
