Over his career, Rocca had a lengthy reign as Capitol Wrestling International Heavyweight Champion, as well as one NWA International Title reign and two NWA Texas Heavyweight title wins, but he didn’t need championship belts to be a big star: he was already one of the most famous wrestlers of all time.
