		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.
		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 attempted to counter this by dividing the nWo into the Hogan-led heel nWo Hollywood faction and the Nash-led face nWo Wolfpac faction, but many felt that it was a poor rehash of the original WCW vs. nWo storyline.

	WCW - World Championship Wrestling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		World Championship Wrestling knew the title was heavily sought and promoted in Japan and as such created a fictional subsidiary of itself dubbed WCW International.
		World Championship Wrestling attempted to counter this by breaking the nWo into the Hogan led, heel nWo Hollywood faction and crowd favourite nWo Wolfpac faction, but many felt that it was a poor rehash of the original WCW vs nWo feud.
		The World Championship Wrestling slowly slid into a period of decline, blamed both on the fact that Kevin Nash was writing the scripts, the tremendous popularity of Attitude era WWF, and the seeming inability for the federation to promote any wrestlers under 40 years old.

		The first NWA World Champion was Orville Brown, and he became the NWA World Champion in October of 1948...but much like the WCW Title, he didn't win it to become the first Champion, he was awarded the belt because he was the World Champion of another company (sound farmiliar).
		As for the WCW tag titles, well the WCW World Title was a worthless piece of shit in the last few years of WCW's existence but they still try to claim its lineage is in tact.
		As for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Stone Cold sort of withdrew that Championship from the World Heavyweight Championship.

		A former two-time Heavyweight champion in the WWF and WCW, it is sad to see him in the position he is. Although not what he once was, Randy Savage has a lot to offer.
		Like many of the older stars in WCW over the last few years, many fans remember the fading talent, the lazy-looking ring work and no-sell attitude, this threatens to cloud the memories we should have of stars like Randy Savage.

	Defunct Championships
		World Championship Wrestling (WCW) started out as the Georgia and Mid-Atlantic territories in the old National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
		When WCW left, they took some titles with them, so I have combined the histories for those titles (United States, Tag Team, TV) that were in both promotions.
		The WWF bought WCW in early 2001, and at WWF Survivor Series 2001, most of the remaining WCW titles were unified with their WWF counterparts.

		The fact that the WWE has two World Championships, I think degrades the belt as it is not seen with the prestige as once was.
		Even though the both championships are of equal value I find that in conclusion, at the moment in time I see the RAW brands, World Heavyweight Championship as the much better belt because of the man that has made that what it is today.
		The WWE championship is the coninuation of the Unified Championship.
