The brass knuckles championship was promoted from 1953 through 1987, and was defended primarily in the Dallas–Fort Worth area as part of Southwest Sports, Inc.
In 1987, a year after WCCW left the NWA and became the World Class Wrestling Association, the title was abandoned.
[1][2] The "Brass Knuckles" title was originally created for Curry, who used a very hard hitting, brawling hardcore style of wrestling, with a "no disqualification" stipulation for all championship matches.
[4] Over the years Bull Curry would win the championship a record setting 24 times, with Mark Lewin and Bruiser Brody tied for second most reigns at eight total.
No record exists of Montreal show, leading to the possibility that the Atlas title victory was fictitious and used to explain why the championship was no longer used.
