 USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling championship formed in 1988 when Jerry Lawler defeated Curt Hennig on May 9, 1988 for the American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight title and defeated Kerry Von Erich on December 13, 1988 for the World Class Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Title and unified the titles together.
The title was primarily recognized by and defended in the United States Wrestling Association until 1997, when the company ceased operations.
This was the first Unified World Heavyweight championship but the American Wrestling Association, however, stopped recognizing Lawler as their champion not long after the unification, meaning that the title could not be considered a unified title.

As a result of the NWA withdrawal, the WCWA introduced a title-change rule in which a champion could lose the belt on a disqualification or a countout, much to the dismay of heel wrestlers who opt to DQ themselves to keep the championship (most notably Ric Flair).
WCWA champion Al Perez and Kerry Von Erich (who had recently returned to the ring, now wrestling with a prosthetic foot) were scheduled to face each other in a steel cage main event for the title, with Gary Hart handcuffed to Fritz to prevent interference.
As a result, on November 23, 1990, Von Erich held its last World Class Championship Wrestling card at the Sportatorium, which featured Kevin winning the Texas heavyweight championship from The Angel of Death in the card's final match.
