CPW United States National Championship

The 'CPW United States National Heavyweight Wrestling Championship (as it is officially called) is the third-tier official title in Championship Professional Wrestling.

It has been more than once deemed a Unifed National Title, when it merged with several National and State Heavyweight Championships, when the State or National Champion won the US National Championship.

Championship History
The Championship was created in 1997, unlike the majority of the titles created which were created in 1993 when the CPW founded. All 50 states sent representatives to a tournament which crowned a new National Champion. At first the championship was called the CPW National Heavyweight Championship (to pay homage to a former "National Heavyweight Championship" title of years-past.)

The tournament final was held in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan between the California State Heavyweight Champion Mark Sherman (who wrestled for the University of California at Riverside) faced the Minnesota State Heavyweight Champion Trent Loggins. Sherman defeated Loggins, and became the first champion.

Several up-and-coming wrestlers faced Sherman over the next two-and-one half years, until Sherman lost his United States National Title, to Danny Brun in 2000. Brun would win the title an impressive fifteen times.

Brun (who was alsothe World Champion, Intercontinental Champion and one-half of the World Tag Team Champions at the time during his first reign), helped bring in wrestlers into CPW and defended and won/lost the United States Title to them.

When The Chieftains came into the CPW in 2006, David Super won the title, becoming the first native-american to win a National Title, and overall singles title.

The Super Heavyweight Champion, Marc Kennedy made history when he became the National Heavyweight Champion in early 2006, becoming the only Super Heavyweight Champion to also win and hold a Heavyweight championship at the same time.
