PWI Recognizes IWTV & PAWD Titles As World Championships
*The Following Press Release Was Issued By IWTV*
![]() PWI RECOGNIZES IWTV & PAWD TITLES AS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) has officially conferred World Championship status on The IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship and Pan-Afrikan World Diaspora Wrestling Championship. The announcement came just hours before IWTV 100, where IWTV Independent Wrestling World Champion Wheeler Yuta made the 100th defense of the title against current number one contender Daniel Garcia. The Pan-Afrikan World Diaspora Champion, Trish Adora, was also in action as she teamed with Lee Moriarty against AEW’s Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander. The tradition of PWI assigning World Championship status to major titles goes back decades, tracing its origins to the early years of wrestling and boxing magazines, who used the designation as a way to signal to readers which championships were most significant. PWI has been highly selective over the years in applying the World Championship distinction, in effect serving as a neutral sanctioning body for wrestlers, wrestling promotions and fans. Reached for comment, PWI Editor-in Chief Kevin McElvaney explained the publication’s decision. “Both the IWTV and PAWD belts are traveling symbols of wrestling achievement and greatness. Like the original NWA World heavyweight championship, they cross territorial and promotional lines, inviting the very best wrestlers to earn the right to hold them. For that reason, these prizes are spoken of with reverence by competitors the world over.” What’s Streaming On IWTV? |

First Look: The NEW IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship pays tribute to Promotions that host Defenses
*The Following Press Release Was Issued By IWTV*
In a relatively brief amount of time, the IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship has emerged as a unifying force on the indie wrestling scene. Though the championship has only been around for a year and a half, in that time it has been defended 37 times in 15 promotions, in 13 different states, against dozens of different opponents.
Three wrestlers have held the IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship:
- Jonathan Gresham: 126 Days, 7 Defenses
- Tracy Williams: 309 Days, 17 Defenses
- Orange Cassidy: Current Champion, 13 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 promotions that have hosted championship defenses are featured on plates affixed to the title. New plates will continue to be added as defenses are made in new places, making the championship an evolving monument to its own history.
