  • The list of WCW World Heavyweight Champions is a chronological list of wrestlers that have held the WCW World Heavyweight Championship by ring name. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship and its lineage began when Ted Turner purchased Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), which used the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) alliance name. Turner's organization was renamed World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and split from the NWA in 1991. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship is the original world title of WCW and it remained as such until March 2001, when WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE) and the championship was defended as the WCW Championship as part of the Invasion storyline, with the WCW initials being dropped from the title's name in November 2001. In December 2001, the renamed World Championship was unified with the WWF Championship to create the Undisputed WWF Championship. The championship was generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. There have been a total of 22 recognized champions who have had a combined 62 official reigns, with Ric Flair holding the most at seven (but WWE does not recognize the title being vacated after the 1994 Spring Stampede match, although WCW did recognize this). At 51, Flair was also the oldest champion when he won it in May 2000, while The Giant was the youngest when he won it in October 1995 at 23. The longest reigning champion was Hulk Hogan, who held the title for 469 days, which is the only reign to exceed one year (365 days). The shortest reigning champion was Chris Jericho, who held the title for approximately 13 and a half minutes, since he unified the title with the WWF Championship at Vengeance. (en)

  • WCW World Heavyweight Championship było tytułem mistrzowskim profesjonalnego wrestlingu promowanym przez federację World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Rodowód tytułu zaczyna się, gdy Ted Turner zakupił , które było używane jako część National Wrestling Alliance. Organizacja Turnera została zmieniona na World Championship Wrestling (WCW) i oddzieliła się od NWA w 1991. WCW World Heavyweight Championship był oryginalnym światowym tytułem w WCW. W marcu 2001, WCW zostało zakupione przez World Wrestling Federation (znane teraz jako World Wrestling Entertainment) i był broniony w walkach jako "WCW Championship", a wmieszany był w część storyline'u związanego z "", w którym wrestlerzy WCW i ECW walczyli z wrestlerami WWF. W listopadzie 2001, nazwa tytułu została zmieniona "World Championship", a miesiąc później został zunifikowany z WWF Championship, zmieniając tym samym nazwę WWF Championship na "Undisputed WWF Championship" i kończąc żywot WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Tytuł był broniony przez różnych wrestlerów, którzy brali udział w oskryptowanych rywalizacjach i storyline'ach. Wrestlerzy byli pokazywani jako heele (negatywni, źli zawodnicy i najczęściej wrogowie publiki) i face’owie (pozytywni, dobrzy i najczęściej ulubieńcy publiki). Oficjalnie było 22 różnych mistrzów przy 62 oficjalnych panowaniach, gdzie Ric Flair posiadał go rekordowo siedem razy (pomimo że ósme panowanie nie jest uznawane przez WWE, zaś przez WCW ono było). Flair był również najstarszym posiadaczem WCW Championship (zdobył go w wieku 51 lat), zaś The Giant jest najmłodszym, zdobywając go w październiku 1995 w wieku 23 lat. Najdłużej panującym mistrzem był Hulk Hogan, który trzymał mistrzostwo przez 469 dni. Najkrócej panującym mistrzem był Chris Jericho, który posiadał tytuł przez około 13 i pół minuty, kiedy to zunifikował mistrzostwo z WWF Championship na Vengeance 2001, zostając jednocześnie ostatnim mistrzem.
