A version of the AWA title history includes the back story of Verne Gagne beating Carpentier making him a rightful champion. Details are still forthcoming.Ĭarpentier was part of a controversial NWA world title situation in 1957 where he defeated Lou Thesz for the title, but due to a falling out between the NWA and Carpentier’s promoter, Eddie Quinn, the situation turned into a mess and Thesz ended up regarded as champion.Ĭarpentier used that win to go to several territories including Omaha, Boston and Los Angeles, and lose the title that he won to create splinter world championships.
