Notes


1 Were awarded based on a fictitious tournament in Japan to replace the long defunct U.S. Tag Team Championship.
2 On 12-Dec-1969, Sammartino gave up his share of the title, and Victor Rivera took over.
3 A few months earlier in June, Graham & Tyler won the new WWWF World Tag Team Championship. When they won the WWWF International Tag Team Championship on 12-Nov-1971, the two titles were unified. There is some debate that the Mongols left the WWWF and vacated the Intern'l titles, causing the creation of the World Titles.
