History[]
Greg Valentine was the inaugural champion. The record for most reigns is held by Mike Rapada, who won the title five times. The record for longest reign is held by JT Wolfen, who held the belt for 742 days.
On July 17, 2015 in Sherman, Texas, Tim Storm defeated Andy Anderson in a tournament final to win the vacant NWA North American title. The title had been vacated on May 28, 2015 after previous champion Jax Dane (who also held the NWA National Heavyweight Championship at that point) had to give up both titles due to injury.
In late 2018 when the NWA announced they would be crowning a new NWA National Heavyweight champion the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship became inactive.
