The WCCW Middle Eastern Championship was a short-lived professional wrestling championship promoted by World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW). It was a minor championship, created for and only defended during WCCW's tours of Israel and was never defended in the United States. Mike Von Erich defeated Gino Hernandez, in what was billed as the finals of a tournament, but in reality there was no tournament leading up to the title match on August 7, 1985.[1] The championship was abandoned in 1987, never mentioned after Mike Von Erich's death.[1] As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match.[lower-alpha 1]

  1. ↑ Hornbaker (2016) p. 550: "Professional wrestling is a sport in which match finishes are predetermined. Thus, win–loss records are not indicative of a wrestler's genuine success based on their legitimate abilities – but on now much, or how little they were pushed by promoters"[2]
  2. ↑ The exact date the championship was abandoned is unknown, which means the title reign lasted between 633 and 662 days.
