The first NWA world heavyweight champion was officially Orville Brown in 1948 but it could quite easily be argued that the first NWA champion was Georg Hackenschmidt in 1905. It just depends on whether you only take the NWA as in its current form or whether you accept those of its ancestors fromwhom the title was born. http://www.wrestlingbooker.com/Articles/title_claims_1.html http://www.wrestlingbooker.com/Articles/title_claims_2.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NWA_World_Heavyweight_Champions These links will explain further.

Who is the first wwf champion?

The first man to hold the WWE Championship was Buddy Rogers, who won the title on April 29, 1963. This belt is not to be confused with the World Heavyweight Championship, which has a few claimants. The first champion in WWE was Triple H, who was awarded the title on the September 2, 2002 edition of Monday Night Raw. However, this belt traces its lineage back through WCW and NWA, all the way back to the earliest recognized world champion, Georg Hackenschmidt, who captured the title on May 4, 1905, after winning a tournament for the belt.
