World Class Championship Wrestling

La World Class Championship Wrestling o WCCW è stata una federazione di wrestling promozionale, con base in Dallas e Fort Worth, Texas attiva fra il 1966 ed il 1990.

Il presidente della federazione era Jack Adkisson, insieme al wrestler Fritz Von Erich.^[1]

All'inizio faceva parte del territorio National Wrestling Alliance, nel 1986 divenne la maggiore national promotion indipendente, ma l'insuccesso nel 1990 portò alla fine della federazione.
