USWA Week Day 1
When I was going up Vince McMahon was still trying to crush the other wrestling promotions. He had been very successful, buying Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW), both the Minneapolis based American Wrestling Association (AWA) & Dallas based World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) were dying, & the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA ) was working with Jim Crockett Promotions of Charlotte to form World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in order to complete with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was at this time that the United States Wrestling Association was formed in order to complete with both the WWF & WCW.

Wrestling Title Wins that didn't happen. But really did.
Owen Hart wins the WWF title (with help). The match was restarted & Owen never became a world champion.
The title was returned to Nick Bockwinkel & a rematch was ordered. Andy Kaufman & Jimmy Hart cost Lawler the rematch but of couse Lawler still wasn't champion. Lawler later won the title & after unifing it with the WCCW title was then stripped by the AWA for refusing to be just the AWA champion.
Note: the AWA also pulled this kinda stuff with Hulk Hogan which caused him to leave & go to the WWF.
HHH made referee reverse decision. Jercho later became first Unified WWF champion. He lost that title to HHH.
