The top prize in World League Wrestling is known as “Harley’s Belt.” There’s good reason too! When one becomes WLW Champion, they have the endorsement of former World Champion Harley Race as one of the best wrestlers on the indy scene.
Through WLW’s partnership with Pro Wrestling Noah, the title has been defended internationally.
