The Blackjacks win for 1975. Now, to one of the oldest titles in WWE today. But, funny enough, it didn't start off in WWE, instead starting in the Mid-Atlantic promotion and becoming the top midcard title for the NWA and WCW before becoming a WWE title when WCW was bought by Vince McMahon in 2001. And, it all started in 1975. So, here's the first United States Title poll:
Harley Race, 1st reign, won it at a house show in Tallahassee, FL on January 1, 1975, held it for 183 days, Defeated Johnny Weaver in a tournament final to become the inaugural NWA United States Heavyweight Champion for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.
Johnny Valentine, 1st reign, won it at a house show in Greensboro, NC on July 3, 1975, held it for 93 days
Vacated on October 4, 1975 when Johnny Valentine suffered a career-ending injury in a plane crash.
Terry Funk, 1st reign, won it at a house show in Greensboro, NC on November 9, 1975, held it for 18 days, Defeated Paul Jones in a tournament final for the vacant title.
Paul Jones, 1st reign, won it at a house show in Greensboro, NC on November 27, 1975, held it for 107 days
