AWA United States Heavyweight Championship
Template:Short description Template:Infobox pro wrestling championship The AWA United States Championship was a short-lived title in the early days of the American Wrestling Association. It started out as the NWA United States Championship promoted in the Chicago, Illinois, territory from 1953 until 1958. In 1960, then champion Verne Gagne created the American Wrestling Association (AWA) based on Minneapolis, Minnesota, and took the championship with him, claiming the lineage of the Chicago version. The Chicago promotion recognized Wilbur Snyder as their next champion, splitting the lineage into their own NWA United States Heavyweight Championship (which later transferred to Detroit]. The Minneapolis version of the championship was renamed the AWA United States Championship in 1960.[1]
