The NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and defended in its member promotion Pacific Northwest Wrestling (PNW), which promoted shows in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington, and occasionally other areas in the northwestern United States.
The title remained active until July 1992,[1] when Don Owen retired and sold PNW to Sandy Barr.
Wrestling belt maker Dave Millican purchased it from Owens and later sold it to an unknown collector.
In January 2015, the Portland-based Blue Collar Wrestling (BCW) promotion joined the NWA, reintroducing the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship – tracing the lineage back to the original version of the title.
[3] The championship was retired after Billy Corgan purchased the NWA and ended its relationships with existing member promotions.
