IWTV TIMELINE: THE INDEPENDENT WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP

Posted By: The YETI on Feb 23, 2021

IWTV TIMELINE: THE INDEPENDENT WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP

Over the last three years, the IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship has emerged as a unifying force on the indie wrestling scene. In that time, the Independent Wrestling Championship has been defended in 28 promotions, in 20 different states (and Canada), against dozens of different opponents.

Six wrestlers have held the IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship:

  1. Jonathan Gresham: 126 Days, 7 Defenses
  2. Tracy Williams: 309 Days, 17 Defenses
  3. Orange Cassidy: 146 Days, 16 Defenses
  4. Kris Statlander 14 Days, 1 Defense
  5. Orange Cassidy 104 Days, 6 Defenses
  6. Erick Stevens 1 Day, 2 Defenses
  7. Warhorse Current Champion, 44 Defenses

All of them have been excellent representatives of independent wrestling and their combined efforts have served to make the IWTV Championship what it is today.

Recently IWTV debuted a new title design for the Independent Wrestling Championship. This new design honors and reflects the history of the championship, as the wrestlers that have held the Championship are engraved into the sideplates of the title. New plates will continue to be added as new champions are crowned, making the championship an evolving monument to its own history.

Below is a complete and chronological list of Independent Wrestling Championship matches. You will find that the title has already been defended against brawlers, mat wrestling specialists, high flyers, veterans, up-and-comers, and all points in between.
