- The World Heavyweight Championship was an American professional wrestling championship created and sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). While the Commission sanctioned the title, it did not promote the events in which the Championship was defended. From 1929 until 1931, the American Wrestling Association (AWA) controlled the Championship. The AWA World Heavyweight Championship was recognized by the CSAC as the world championship until May 4, 1931, when the Commission refused to recognize Henri Deglane's victory over Ed "Strangler" Lewis in Montreal, Quebec, as the title had changed hands via disqualification rather than the traditional pinfall or submission. Lewis remained champion in California, and a separate lineage was created. (en)

- In July 1929, more than 20 state athletic commissions withdrew their recognition of Sonnenberg as world champion for failing to meet "real" title contenders. He also declined an offer from the wrestling section of the National Boxing Association to enter a tournament to crown a new champion for the following year. The AWA World Heavyweight Championship was subsequently created for Sonnenberg by promoter Paul Bowser. (en)

The title may also be known as the "Pacific Coast Heavyweight Championship" during this period. Wright is later recognized as world champion in New York. (en)
