Championship belt
By 1994, NWA's Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW) territory became the most televised wrestling show. The NWA decided to hold a NWA World Title Tournament for the vacated NWA World Heavyweight Championship through ECW at the ECW Arena in August 1994, which was won by Shane Douglas. After the match, Douglas threw the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt down and picked up the ECW Heavyweight Championship belt, proclaiming himself ECW champion. Almost immediately thereafter ECW withdrew from the NWA and became Extreme Championship Wrestling.
