	World Championship Wrestling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		World Championship Wrestling or WCW, was a highly successful professional wrestling promotion that was based in Atlanta and existed from 1986 to 2001.
		WCW knew that the title belt, because of its rich in-ring history and visual impact, was highly sought after and respected over in Japan and as such created a fictional subsidiary dubbed "WCW International" to inject some credibility back into the belt.
		WCW later renegotiated the use of the NWA name as a co-promotional gimmick with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and sued the WWF to stop showing Flair with the old NWA World title belt on its programs, claiming a trademark on the physical design of the belt.

		Once upon a time, it was easy for wrestling fans to forget -- caught up in the world of make-believe as they were -- that the announcers calling the action only considered pro wrestling a part-time gig; that they were real journalists by day and wrestling was for play.
		Yet, looking back at such a monumental turning point in American history, the 78-year-old Mercer can still acknowledge that wrestling is responsible for much of his recognition today.
