On the topic of other world titles:
When I was born Sting was on his first reign as NWA world Champion,
and Vader was IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and Zbyszko was on the final ever reign as AWA world champion.
Yeah, there was no IWGP heavyweight title until the 80s.What they had before it I cannot seem to find, tournaments I guess.Well....if we're going there:
Nick Bockwinkel was in his first reign as AWA World Heavyweight Champion
There was, at that time, no IWGP Champion or any major Mexican promotion wrestling world champion, so far as my research has yet found.
