The GBYWN World Heavyweight Championship is a backyard wrestling world championship in backyard wrestling alliance, GBYWN. It is the highest ranked title representing the world circuit of backyard wrestling in the biggest alliance. The title was introduced and recognized in August 2008 as the official GBYWN primary belt after the original championship that was created was later converted into a territorial title.

The GBYWN World Title is the only title in the alliance to have ever been custom made, although it was not constructed with strong material. However, like many of the others, a replica championship belt from a professional wrestling company is used. To date, Robby Roberts is the only holder who has traveled to federations in international areas and defended the title, making it close enough to a legitimate world championship.

History

Origination

The title was introduced during the GBYWN Promo Challenge in 2008, where Bridgeview Wrestling Association's (BWA) Shooter recorded an internet video for the challenge appearing with a self-made makeshift championship belt and proclaiming himself the first champion. The title was thus, delegated to the Great Lakes Territory to be defended in that geographical area BWA is located in.

Factually in 2007, Cassias Chaos was the first to appear with the idea of a community championship designed to represent the website when he declared himself in an online promo as GBYWN Champion, although not sanctioned as legitimate. Chaos was slated to defend the title against "The Cheese Kid" Steven Alvarez, but the match never came to execution. Inexplicably after absence of Chaos, the title was relocated to Backyard Kid Wrestling where Alvarez claimed it to the community's acknowledgement. Circa 2009, two top championships became confusingly unnecessary and the GBYWN Title was converted into the GBYWN West Coast Championship. The World Heavyweight Title, however, remained the top tier title, despite the fact that the title holders are not technically "heavyweights" aside from arguably Xcal, who had held the belt once.

Championship Activity

Shooter from BWA defended the championship on June 6, 2009 during the Day 2 of BWA 4th Anniversary: Global Domination and lost to EXWF's Xcal. Xcal then lost the belt a week later to 2KW's and JWA's FX, who held competition for it from New York to Nevada successfully defending it. On October 27, 2009, at ICW's Midwest Extravaganza, Shooter defeated FX and ICW's The Pen Name to win the title for the second time. At the CCW Welcome to the Real World supershow on day 2, defending champion Shooter lost the championship to former Epic 1 and CWA wrestler, Joe Randa. Randa then lost the championship to PEANUT's own Joey Tornado at Wrestlefezt The Prequel on June 16, 2010, but quickly regained it 16 seconds later. At TwC Wrestlefezt X two days later on June 18, Randa lost the title to WZW's Robby Roberts in a Four Way also involving The Pen Name and Ian Finnegan.
