When was the World Wrestling Council established?
World Wrestling Council
The World Wrestling Council (WWC) is a professional wrestling promotion based in Puerto Rico. It was originally established as Capitol Sports Promotions in 1973 by Carlos Colón Sr., Victor Jovica, and Gorilla Monsoon. It was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance until 1988. By the mid-1990s, the promotion had changed its name to the World Wrestling Council.
NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title (Iowa Version)
The NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship (Iowa Version) was a professional wrestling championship that was recognized in the Iowa-based National Wrestling Alliance Promotion between 1945 and 1948.
Both the title and the promotion predates the National Wrestling Alliance that was created in 1948 as an actual alliance between wrestling promoters around the midwest which included the founder Paul "Pinkie" George's Iowa NWA Promotion.
At the annual meeting, Billy Goelz, the reigning NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion in Iowa, was recognized by the new NWA as a sanctioned World Heavyweight Champion alongside Orville Brown who held the Iowa version of the NWA World Heavyweight Champion as well.
As a result, this title was officially retired while Goelz would defend the main NWA title until losing to Leroy McGurik on December 28th, 1949 in a unification match for the National Wrestling Association World Junior Heavyweight Championship.
