His biggest American title was the AWA World Heavyweight Championship at a time when the AWA stood alongside the NWA and WWF as the Big 3 in professional wrestling in America. He also held numerous NWA titles while wrestling in regions across the country. However, his biggest success came in Japan. He was a huge star in Japan throughout his entire career, holding the NWA International title once, as well as the PWF world title four times and the Triple Crown world title four times. The Triple Crown title was the biggest belt in All Japan Wrestling. As for the WWE, in 1976, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named his match with Bruno Sammartino as the Match of the Year and named Hansen the Most Hated Wrestler of the Year the same year. Stan Hansen retired in 2001, with his final match coming in All Japan. He remained in a non-wrestling role with the company until 2007. According to Wrestling Inc., Hansen’s picture is in the WrestleMania 32 magazine in the Hall of Fame section. 雖然有藤波跟豬木的前例，不過真沒想到只在早期WWWF待過(WWF好像只待1年)生涯幾乎都 在日摔的漢森阿伯今年進入名人堂..真是OMG啊...XD 補個連結: http://goo.gl/RI0Q7J --
