History
Origination
In June 2007, the concept of a championship was first passed around by Cassias Chaos to GBYWN Owner Cam which was intended to represent the Global Backyard Wrestling News community that Cam agreed upon and extended the privilege for Chaos to become the inaugural champion. Chaos eventually proclaimed himself on YouTube as the GBYWN World Heavyweight Champion (not to be confused with the GBYWN World Heavyweight Championship) while the title was labelled the GBYWN Championship, and carried it around defending it in a match against Sal System (Kenneth Reigns).
After a year and a half, Chaos dropped the belt in BWB to Low Down in a Triple Threat match, shortly after departing from the GBYWN for personal reasons. The title went inactive for half a year with dead interest to remain with the championship idea. The title was then, in turn, given to "The Cheese Kid" Steven Alvarez in June 2008. Moreover, the title was later changed to the GBYWN West Coast Championship after title confusions with the GBYWN World Heavyweight Championship.
Possible Return
Chaos has stated that he'll be returning to backyard wrestling for one last match after a year of being inactive. Chaos will face Low Down at XIW: Revolution Reunion. He has also stated he'd be bringing the orginal GBYWN title in with him, but it has not yet been confirmed if the title will come into play storyline wise. Cam hasn't been able to get in contact with to confirm nor deny these alligations.
