Blackjack Mulligan former NWA Worlds Champion

[The Hammer]

from the WWE Hall of Fame site:

"BlackJack Mulligan was a brutish 6-foot-9, 340-pound native of Sweetwater. And he’s one of the most accomplished wrestlers ever to come out of the state of Texas. He’s also one of the biggest and most-powerful. In addition to many regional championships, Mulligan was NWA World Tag Team Champion (with Ric Flair), NWA United States Heavyweight Champion and NWA World Heavyweight champion, defeating WWE Hall of Famer Bobo Brazil. Mulligan also had many memorable battles with WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant, as well as matches with Pedro Morales and Bruno Sammartino."

I don't think either of them (Mulligan or Bobo Brazil)were NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Most WWE DVDs have wrong dates for matches, fueds, title changes, etc. Who is keeping their records???

Bobo beat Jack for the US belt, then dropped it to Flair. He was basically the transitional champ between those two heels becuase I don't think he held foe more than a month or two.
