Stan Stasiak was never WORLD Heavywight Champion. The WWWF title was a regional championship at that point(1971-1983). —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Pallin ( talk • contribs) 08:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC) reply

I must object to this comment about regional vs. world -- every promotion is regional. Even the NWA at its zenith (collection of territories) was at its essence... a regional organization. Internal to WWWF -- Stasiak was world heavyweight champion. Period. Every bout after Dec 10, 1973 -- in every territory -- he was announced as former WWWF world heavyweight champion. The idea that Morales, Stasiak, Sammartino, Graham, and Backlund were only reigional champions makes no sense in the (kayfabe) of wrestling -- or in the real world sense that every promotion has a world heavyweight title. In its heyday, North American wrestling had three (fairly co-equal) world heavyweight champions (AWA, NWA, WWWF). There does not need to be agreement across promotions -- in order for someone to be a world heavyweight champion in a promotion. This idea about Stasiak needs to be struck down immediately as non-encyclopedic and just plain wrong. 172.164.21.210 ( talk) 07:03, 19 July 2018 (UTC) Chesspride reply
