The

was a singles title recognized by the
National Wrestling Alliance
through its partnership with the
Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance
, and later by
All Japan Pro Wrestling

AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship
in 1989. Prior to the creation of the Triple Crown, All Japan considered the NWA International title to be its top singles championship.
Under
Rikidōzan
the belt had a design similar to
Lou Thesz
's original
NWA World Heavyweight Championship
belt during the 1950s, but after Rikidōzan's death, the belt given to
Giant Baba
had the design seen today on the belt part of the Triple Crown. The original design was later used on the
