1 ^ Flair did win the Mid-Atlantic version of the NWA United States Championships six times and the six reigns were recognized even after World Championship Wrestling took control over the championship and renamed it the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship in 1991. After WCW's purchase by WWE, the lineage of the championships were kept in the WWE United States Championship. WWE.com has published contradictory information on Flair's reigns - recognizing five reigns in one article, but describing him as a six-time champion in another article.
2 ^ His last four reigns with the championship were after Jim Crockett Jr. sold his promotion to Ted Turner in November 1988, which became World Championship Wrestling. The NWA World Heavyweight Championship was defended exclusively in WCW until WCW's withdrawal from the National Wrestling Alliance in 1993.
