When Adams, who held the World Class title, left the promotion in September 1986, Bart was awarded the championship...but not before the promotion explained that Bart won the belt from Adams in a fictitious match held in Los Angeles. Bart lost the championship to Von Erich a month later in Dallas, then, like other major World Class stars, left WCCW to join the UWF. He went back to Florida Championship Wrestling in 1989 and teamed with Bobby Jaggers and Tony Anthony while feuding with Virgil Runnels III Dustin Rhodes & Mike Graham and The Nasty Boys.
