NWA Heart of America Heavyweight Championship (1950–1953) Central States Heavyweight Championship (1953/10–1988) WWA Central States Heavyweight Championship (1988–1989)
The NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship that served as the main title for the National Wrestling Alliance promotion, NWA Central-States Championship Wrestling. For most of its existence, however, the title was defended in the NWA affiliate Central States Wrestling from 1950 to 1989.
Pat O'Connor defeats Race for the title on January 28, 1972 in St. Louis, MO, but Race continues to be recognized by other promoters, and Sam Muchnick withdraws recognition of the title and later creates the Missouri Heavyweight title
