The NWA Brass Knuckles Championship was a professional wrestling championship sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance and promoted primarily in the Texas territory in matches in which brass knuckles were worn by the combatants. The brass knuckles championship was promoted from 1953 through 1987, and was defended primarily in the Dallas area as part of Southwest Sports, Inc.. It continued to be used after the promotion changed its name to Big Time Wrestling and, finally, World Class Championship Wrestling. In 1987, a year after WCCW left the NWA and became the World Class Wrestling Association, the title was abandoned.
The Texas Brass Knuckles Championship was revived by the NWA in June 1998, and was renamed the NWA Texas Hardcore Championship on April 1, 1999. Finally, the title was abandoned on April 15, 2001.
Silver areas in the history indicate periods of unknown lineage.
