One thing I remember is that Dusty and the Road Warriors were champs, but the titles never seemed to be defended.  I think the Warriors' heel turn in 1988 had something to do with Sting subbing for Dusty during a 6 man title defense, then Sting was attacked to send a message to Dusty for not being there, which set up a match at Clash of the Champions Season's Beatings(Hawk or Animal vs. Dusty?), which in turn set up a tag match with the Warriors vs. Sting and Dusty for the Warriors' newly won World Tag Team Titles. Somewhere in there the 6 man titles quietly disappeared....though I may be wrong...
 
Forgot to mention the Sting/Dusty vs. Warriors was part of Starrcade '88. Incredible heat for this particular match, If I recall.

I remember Dusty, Hawk and Animal didn't beat The Russians for the Six man titles they beat The Koloffs and Baron Vo Raschke because Krusher was injured at the time  
 
Other thing I remember Originally it was trophy that symbolized the 6 man champs but by the time The Powers of Pain and Koloff won the title it became 3 individual championship belts
 
Other 6 man champs I recall are the Freebirds and Badstreet(Brad Armstrong n a mask) Also The York Foundation Rich, Morton and Taylor as well as Big Josh(Matt Borne) Dustin Rhodes and Tom "Z-Man) Zenk

Im not going to be responsible for what hits next. Because, we dont wear white hats. We are not nice guys. And I can tell you this -- heads are going to roll! So, Ive said it. Be careful for what you wish for, because now, you have it.

After he bought out the UWF, Crockett moved into the office Watts had in Dallas and was planning to expand westward. That was apparently the purpose for the creation of the Western States Heritage title.

The Roadies were upset that Dusty didn't show up because of some sort of charity event he was attending. Sting subbed for him and they beat the snot out of him to send a message to Rhodes for not putting business first. This in turn led to their attack on Dusty in the infamous spike angle on TBS that ultimately led to him being removed as booker and eventually leaving the company.
 
The match at Season's Beatings was Animal vs. Dusty to determine the fate of the Six Man titles. If Dusty won he got to choose new partners to hold the belts with, and if Animal won then he and Hawk could choose a new partner. Animal won and the Roadies selected Genichiro Tenryu from Japan. By early '89 the Warriors were faces again and the Six Man championship faded away altogether.  
 
When Dusty returned to WCW as booker in 1991, the championship was resurrected for a few months and then abandoned again.

I think the York Foundation were the last ones to hold those belts!  Good ole Alexandria York.
