That would putting it mildly . He had ownership in the company so naturally he made himself champion . Guess we know where Jeff Jarrett and HHH got the idea from . Lmfao .
@@craigstrachan Atleast Jeff let people have significant runs with the belt. Scott Hall could only have the belt for 4 days before Lawler wanted it back?
@IrishKyokushin Well was talking about when Jeff was the NWA World Champion in NWA TNA but not surprised by what you said . Lawler had ownership in USWA so obviously he made himself the top guy . Even with all the controversial title changes . The only guy I saw other than Lawler holding the belt was Terry Funk . Have a match they had in Texas when Funk was champion . Wild match .
I remember witnessing this era of uswa every Thursday at the owensboro sportscenter. Seeing Undertaker and Papa Shango before they went to WWF was awesome
My problem with Jarrett was that he was a good worker. His early TNA days, he was a world beater. 27 guys would interfere, he still won. He gets hit with a car, he kicks out at 2. 😂
Master of Pain is that the Undertaker? Looks like very young undertaker, wonder how old he was when he won? On April 1, 1989 and held it for 24 days. RIP Terry Funk and we love you and miss you. You are a Legend!!😢😭😭. Jerry " King 👑 " Lawler 28 times world champion😮.
Well genius AUGUST 1991 the DRAGON MASTER was the unified champ but not the Oriental but a 7 foot monster from Richmond Virginia ME!!! imagine my surprise
Jerry Lawler was holding this Title hostage more than Gagne did with the AWA Title, Hogan did for both WWF & WCW Title, Triple H with the WHC Title & Jeff Jarrett with the NWA Title
Supposedly the rumor is that when Snowman was champion he pawned the belt for drug money hence why the old AWA World Title replaced it . Purely speculation . If anybody can verify that would love to know .
This only worked because Jerry was extremely over in Memphis. After Elvis , and BB King Jerry Lawler was Memphis during that time. People wanted him to have the belt.
While I find it extraordinary and praiseworthy to have so many black champions, the title reigns are a joke. Didn't Lawler co-own the territory? It's a bad look to repeatedly give him the title.
At one point all of these promotions that were on🔥at one time all came together to unified their champions to try to compete & survive against the WWF But after Lawler winning the title some 28 times, (more if you count his CWF title runs) the USWA belt became a JOKE!!! I'm sure Mantuar was a fine champion!
This man Was Stat Padding the Hell out of this belt😂
Alternative title (pun intended): Jerry Lawler personal title 1988-1997

USWA Jerry Lawler Championship
No wonder the USWA died. People must have gotten tired of Lawler hogging the belt and being the only one to have it for a significant amount of time.
It was his promotion, duh... of course he gets the belt he paid for. 🤦🏾
It's interesting that Lawler was not the last champion Dutch Mantel was 😮

How many title runs are you gonna have?
Jerry lawler: Yes
😂😂😂😂😂
28
My biggest problem with the USWA was they never pulled the trigger on Lawler being champion.
Kudos for using the best Funk picture
Jerry Lawler can be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns. Let it sink in that this man defeated The Undertaker, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon and Psycho Sid
Man, this must have been BRUTAL to watch - unless you're a Lawler fan. 30 title runs in 9 years? Insane.
There's a slight pattern here..
I don't see it. 😏🤗
And fans complained when Jeff Jarrett kept putting the NWA on himself in the early days of TNA!

X division championship update with Chris Sabin and GHC jr tag team championship update with alpha bane and dragon wolf
Actually Jerry held it 29 times...he defeated himself once in Albuquerque New Mexico
No. It was in Truth or Concenquences

Yea that's Taker
@@LatinGiudo817 😎
Soultaker was The Godfather
Dragongate Noah and AJPW titles next
Jerry Lawler: 28-time world champion!
Also Jerry Lawler: 27-time loser in title matches.
They couldn't afford to make a new belt after the Snowman took off with the original Unified World Heavyweight championship belt
28 reinados de Lawler es sumamente ridiculo uswa champ= wwe 24/7 champ
Finally somebody had more title runs than Ric Flair and Phil Jackson combined. 😂 King Fish
Holy crap! I might of even held it at one time! I have to check!
Only The king made us listed to 1.5 times his theme
This was basically the Jerry Lawler title.
What the f*&k?! Did Jerry Lawler own this territory?
This must have been a BORRRINNGGG run to watch.
He was the Booker for the territory, made himself champion
I believe he co-owned it with Jerry Jarrett [Jeff's Father] and Lawler was the Head Booker.
@@IrishKyokushinNo wonder he held it 28 times
Yes he did, always booked himself to be champion
Well genius AUGUST 1991 the DRAGON MASTER was the unified champ but not the Oriental but a 7 foot monster from Richmond Virginia ME!!! imagine my surprise
Pretty sure King Reginald was a real life pimp.

Snowman looks like 2 cold scorpio

It was ridiculous how many times that belt changed hands during that time period. I liked long title runs much better.
Bet he won so much because he was in wwe
He co-owned the territory. Might as well put the belt on someone you know will show up
The only World title that Jerry Lawler ever held was the AWA World title and let himself be stripped of the title rather than losing it in the ring.
God damn Jerry xD let others shine a bit man we get it.
They let everyone be champion for a week or 2.
Not even. They were lucky to get it for a few days before Lawler wanted it back.
Wait..So Scott Hall/Razor Ramon was a world champion afterall?
Lol
@@thomasludlow8680 yeah
Christ, you let out a sneeze and by the time your head comes back up Lawler has the belt again for another 3-6 months.
This only worked because Jerry was extremely over in Memphis. After Elvis , and BB King Jerry Lawler was Memphis during that time. People wanted him to have the belt.

Yes
Great job . 👏

Why in the hell did they keep giving it to the King ?
He wasn’t all that great to me. Not by no means.
It just shows the talent sucked back then 😂😂😂
Guess who the co-owner and booker was. 👑
i wonder who the booker was
