WCWA World Tag Team Championship

The WCWA World Tag Team Championship was the primary professional wrestling tag team championship promoted by the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex area–based World Class Wrestling Association (WCWA). The championship was originally introduced as the NWA United States Tag Team Championship in 1967, when the promotion was known as NWA Big Time Wrestling.[3][1] It was later renamed the NWA American Tag Team Championship in 1969.[1] In 1982 Big Time Wrestling, changed their name to World Class Championship Wrestling and the title became the WCCW American Tag Team Championship.[3][1] In 1986 WCCW became World Class Wrestling Association and the championship was rebranded as the WCWA World Tag Team Championship.[2] In 1989 the title was won by Cactus Jack and Scott Braddock, where it was transformed into the USWA World Tag Team Championship.[4] As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match.[a] The WCWA Texas Tag Team Championship served as the secondary tag team championship in the promotion from 1950 to 1989.[6]
