Wrestling Title Histories is the most complete record of professional wrestling titles and titleholders ever published. It is cited by wrestling publications around the world as the authority on wrestling's champions and championships.

From coast-to-coast in North America, to Japan and around the world -- from William Muldoon in the 19th century to The Rock -- Wrestling Title Histories is the ultimate guide to pro wrestling's greatest champions.

Over 2,000 titles!

Contains information on titles from the WWF, WCW, ECW, NWA, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, all the old territories -- Florida, Mid-Atlantic, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, Dallas, Portland, Kansas City, St. Louis, Atlanta, Calgary, Memphis, Knoxville, Montreal, Puerto Rico, Mid-South and more -- as well as hundreds of independent promotions from across the U.S. (including now-defunct favorites like Smoky Mountain, the UWF, and the USWA).

See promotion index for the independent promotions you'll find in the book. There's also a sample page from the book for you to take a look at (it may take a few seconds to load).

The new edition includes major title changes (WWF, WCW, ECW) right up to the beginning of 2000.

What is easily the greatest reference work ever published on pro wrestling, the fourth and likely final edition of "Wrestling Title Histories," has just been completed. The book is exactly what the title indicates. It is a listing of the title histories of virtualy every major pro wrestling championship dating back to the World Collar-and-elbow championship in 1867. It is the greatest published research work ever done on the industry and a must have for anyone interested in the history of the business. Dave Meltzer Wrestling Observer Newsletter "Wrestling Title Histories" is the authoritative book on the history of wrestling titles. It's an unbelievable work, documenting and listing the history behind virtually every wrestling title in the world from the late 1800s to today. This newest edition comes at the perfect time, as my copy of the old book is falling part. I use it so much that the pages have been dog-eared and flipped through to death. It is an invaluable resource material for this reporter and should be a required text for any self-respecting journalist covering pro wrestling. That's why you shouldn't be scared off by the $78 Cdn. tag price. It's a landmark book that is well worth the price. Simply put, the 441 page opus is, without a doubt, the single greatest wrestling resource in the entire world. Period. Exclamation point! John Molinaro SLAM! Wrestling
