Every USWA Unified World Heavyweight Champion (1988-1997)

[@krishoward4344]

This man Was Stat Padding the Hell out of this belt😂

[@IrishKyokushin]

No wonder the USWA died. People must have gotten tired of Lawler hogging the belt and being the only one to have it for a significant amount of time.

[@edecanemane]

It was his promotion, duh... of course he gets the belt he paid for. 🤦🏾

[@nicktaylor2657]

It's interesting that Lawler was not the last champion Dutch Mantel was 😮

[@Floornail]

Alternative title (pun intended): Jerry Lawler personal title 1988-1997

[@craigstrachan]

That would putting it mildly . He had ownership in the company so naturally he made himself champion . Guess we know where Jeff Jarrett and HHH got the idea from . Lmfao .

[@IrishKyokushin]

@@craigstrachan Atleast Jeff let people have significant runs with the belt. Scott Hall could only have the belt for 4 days before Lawler wanted it back?

[@craigstrachan]

@IrishKyokushin Well was talking about when Jeff was the NWA World Champion in NWA TNA but not surprised by what you said . Lawler had ownership in USWA so obviously he made himself the top guy . Even with all the controversial title changes . The only guy I saw other than Lawler holding the belt was Terry Funk . Have a match they had in Texas when Funk was champion . Wild match .

USWA Jerry Lawler Championship

[@JokerzGallery]

I remember witnessing this era of uswa every Thursday at the owensboro sportscenter. Seeing Undertaker and Papa Shango before they went to WWF was awesome

[@LosHitman]

How many title runs are you gonna have? Jerry lawler: Yes

[@perrylx]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@edecanemane]

28

[@mayomonkey-gen1]

My biggest problem with the USWA was they never pulled the trigger on Lawler being champion.

[@LatinGiudo817]

Jerry Lawler can be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns. Let it sink in that this man defeated The Undertaker, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon and Psycho Sid

[@CoalMinersGlove92]

There's a slight pattern here..

[@davidgraham8299]

I don't see it. 😏🤗

[@mooseheadjack1]

Man, this must have been BRUTAL to watch - unless you're a Lawler fan. 30 title runs in 9 years? Insane.

[@utopian3d]

Kudos for using the best Funk picture

[@bradanime]

X division championship update with Chris Sabin and GHC jr tag team championship update with alpha bane and dragon wolf

[@jesspayant1667]

And fans complained when Jeff Jarrett kept putting the NWA on himself in the early days of TNA!

[@larrygonzales5245]

My problem with Jarrett was that he was a good worker. His early TNA days, he was a world beater. 27 guys would interfere, he still won. He gets hit with a car, he kicks out at 2. 😂

[@jamie9236]

Actually Jerry held it 29 times...he defeated himself once in Albuquerque New Mexico

[@RichardBond-dn2fi]

No. It was in Truth or Concenquences

[@bradanime]

Dragongate Noah and AJPW titles next

[@GaryRich-gl8qz]

Well genius AUGUST 1991 the DRAGON MASTER was the unified champ but not the Oriental but a 7 foot monster from Richmond Virginia ME!!! imagine my surprise

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Master of Pain is that the Undertaker? Looks like very young undertaker, wonder how old he was when he won? On April 1, 1989 and held it for 24 days. RIP Terry Funk and we love you and miss you. You are a Legend!!😢😭😭. Jerry " King 👑 " Lawler 28 times world champion😮.

28 reinados de Lawler es sumamente ridiculo uswa champ= wwe 24/7 champ

[@angelmontes8602]

They couldn't afford to make a new belt after the Snowman took off with the original Unified World Heavyweight championship belt

[@taekwondotime]

Jerry Lawler: 28-time world champion! Also Jerry Lawler: 27-time loser in title matches.

[@RichardBond-dn2fi]

Holy crap! I might of even held it at one time! I have to check!

[@MrRod1990]

This was basically the Jerry Lawler title.

[@baal1998]

Only The king made us listed to 1.5 times his theme

[@senorbusyman]

Jerry Lawler was holding this Title hostage more than Gagne did with the AWA Title, Hogan did for both WWF & WCW Title, Triple H with the WHC Title & Jeff Jarrett with the NWA Title

[@edecanemane]

Finally somebody had more title runs than Ric Flair and Phil Jackson combined. 😂 King Fish

[@braylon-theepic1_guyotte]

Bet he won so much because he was in wwe

[@anthonyamadeo6348]

Pretty sure King Reginald was a real life pimp.

[@duranduran6456]

What the f*&k?! Did Jerry Lawler own this territory?

[@drew0513]

This must have been a BORRRINNGGG run to watch.

[@angelmontes8602]

He was the Booker for the territory, made himself champion

[@IrishKyokushin]

I believe he co-owned it with Jerry Jarrett [Jeff's Father] and Lawler was the Head Booker.

[@killeranime3591]

@@IrishKyokushinNo wonder he held it 28 times

[@angelmontes8602]

Yes he did, always booked himself to be champion

[@jasonjonessr3319]

Snowman looks like 2 cold scorpio

[@craigstrachan]

Supposedly the rumor is that when Snowman was champion he pawned the belt for drug money hence why the old AWA World Title replaced it . Purely speculation . If anybody can verify that would love to know .

[@RichardBond-dn2fi]

It was ridiculous how many times that belt changed hands during that time period. I liked long title runs much better.

[@TheChronix112]

This only worked because Jerry was extremely over in Memphis. After Elvis , and BB King Jerry Lawler was Memphis during that time. People wanted him to have the belt.

[@Bradley_Kent]

The only World title that Jerry Lawler ever held was the AWA World title and let himself be stripped of the title rather than losing it in the ring.

[@tommytwostep9753]

Christ, you let out a sneeze and by the time your head comes back up Lawler has the belt again for another 3-6 months.

[@larrygonzales5245]

They let everyone be champion for a week or 2.

[@IrishKyokushin]

Not even. They were lucky to get it for a few days before Lawler wanted it back.

[@therealanonymous12]

Was the Dragon Master Pat Tanaka ?

[@WrestleHistoryOfficial]

Kazuo Sakurada

[@GaryRich-gl8qz]

Not this DRAGON MASTER it was I who was this the original dragon master

[@Patrick-df5fo]

At one point all of these promotions that were on🔥at one time all came together to unified their champions to try to compete & survive against the WWF But after Lawler winning the title some 28 times, (more if you count his CWF title runs) the USWA belt became a JOKE!!! I'm sure Mantuar was a fine champion!

[@just_Gam1ng]

God damn Jerry xD let others shine a bit man we get it.

[@braylon-theepic1_guyotte]

[@merrillheidrick3496]

Great job . 👏

[@jasoncoward-aintscared]

While I find it extraordinary and praiseworthy to have so many black champions, the title reigns are a joke. Didn't Lawler co-own the territory? It's a bad look to repeatedly give him the title.

[@thomasludlow8680]

Wait..So Scott Hall/Razor Ramon was a world champion afterall? Lol

[@WrestleHistoryOfficial]

@@thomasludlow8680 yeah

[@ericcampbell3955]

Why in the hell did they keep giving it to the King ? He wasn’t all that great to me. Not by no means. It just shows the talent sucked back then 😂😂😂
