Jerry Lawler was brought into the ring by Vince McMahon and was awarded this very cheap-looking belt (not even a metal with leather but more like a big piece of soft plastic or cloth) with WWE's version of AWA logo on it. Vince started saying, "We do now own the trademarks of AWA, and QUITE FRANKLY, the King had never lost the...."

That's when ...

I read on Wrestlezone (can't find the article to post as proof) that one WWE wrestler (can't remember the wrestler) started/was awarded an Internet Championship, which he defended at a show when WWE toured Australia.

Promoters: Clarence P. "Cowboy" Luttrell (49/07 - 79/09)
Eddie Graham (79/09 - 85/01)
Duke Keomuka & Hiro Matsuda (85/01 - 87/02)

According to the NWA Book of Tim Hornbaker, Cowboy Luttrall sold his percentage in the company to Eddie Graham in September 1970 and retired.

Greeting
Ronald
