WHAT IS PWF ?

I often refer to PWF or PWF Championship, many people may think "what's that ?", and I don't know well, too. (Hey, you !)

In short, PWF is a management company of ALL JAPAN's titles, Baba established it in Hawaii in 1972, and the first president was Lord Blears. I remember that Blears often visited to Japan and read a declaration of a title match, but did he do any work as the president ? He may have enjoyed a sight-seeing in Japan.

PWF Championship was established in 1973, and very famous wrestlers participated in the championship tournament. Giant Baba, Bruno Sammartino, Terry Funk, Bobo Brazil, The Destroyer, Abdullah The Butcher, Pat O'Conner, Don Leo Jonathan, and Wilbur Snyder. Very marvelous members, don't you think so ? And Giant Baba won the championship.

PWF champion's belt is the same belt of Rikidozan's International (and WWA) title. Because Rikidozon was smaller than Baba, it was pretty tight for Baba. (Look the picture !!)

The special feature of PWF Championship is that it can move by a result on a foul. Because of it, Baba was taken the title by Killer Tor Kamata. Fighting against Race, Hansen, Dory, and other first-class wrestlers, Baba kept this belt for over ten years. literally PWF Championship was symbolic of Giant Baba.
