Promotion All Japan Pro Wrestling

The Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship (三冠ヘビー級王座 Sankan Hebīkyū Ōza?) is the top professional wrestling title in Japanese promotion All Japan Pro Wrestling.

History

The championship was originally a unification of the NWA United National Championship, the PWF Heavyweight Championship and the NWA International Heavyweight Championship. The titles were unified on April 18, 1989 when International champion Jumbo Tsuruta defeated the PWF and UN champion Stan Hansen.[1]

Unlike most unified championships, the Triple Crown was originally represented by the three individual belts. The original title belts were returned to All Japan founder Giant Baba's widow Motoko in August 2013 and a new single belt instead of three separate belts was made.[2] The new title belt, which featured three plates representing the three original belts, was unveiled on October 27.[3] One of the plates includes the text "Jumbo Tsuruta Apr. 18 1989", representing the crowning of the inaugural champion.[4] There have been a total of 26 recognized champions who have had a combined 55 official reigns.
