Large parts of the championship history is undocumented due to lack of documentation of Midget wrestling for large periods of time from the 1950s to the 1980s.
In that period of time, there were two touring groups of midget wrestlers in the United States, both had a "World Champion", leading to some uncertainty as to who was the NWA World Midget's Champion, often based on if the champion was booked as defending the championship in an NWA territory.
[1][2] The first wrestler to lay claim to the Midget's World Championship was Sky Low Low after he won a 30-man tournament in Paris, France.
[citation needed] The tournament was either fictitious or not an NWA sanctioned event as it took place in Europe.
The championship was awarded after the chosen participant "won" a match to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.
