History

Origination

In early 2010, Chairman of the Global Backyard Wrestling Nation alliance, Rad Hazard, sanctioned a GBYWN championship in Australia known as the GBYWN Australian Heavyweight Championship. At AWGP's SuperSlam event, Zac Shaw, one of Queensland Backyard Wrestling's longest serving roster members, defeated Crimson Genocide to become the inaugural champion.

Title Details

The physical championship belt was homemade by Atticus Floyd, originally used as the nWd Tag Team Championship and was to be the Pro Federation, ACWA's version of the Smashmouth Championship. The physical belt returned to active service when AWGP re-activated. On May 30, 2010, Keiran Show won the vacant AWGP Smashmouth Championship and thus, the GBYWN Australian Title was unified with the belt to create the AWGP-GBYWN Global Championship. It was mistakingly beleived that the title became inactive but after a breif period of confusion, GBYWN Championships President Rad Hazard acknowlaged the recently activated version of the title in Inner City Wrestling Syndicate would be a west coast version of the championship with a new lineage. AWGP Management made it quite clear that the orginal version of the title was still active as the AWGP Global Championship was still represented by both belts.

In late-October 2010, then AWGP Global / GBYWN Australian Champion Warren Terra split the championship back to its original configuration. The original lineage continued with Infringment becoming the first seperated champion. So for the final months of 2010, two versions of the Australian Heavyweight Championship are recognised. East Coast's in AWGP and West Coast's in ICWS.
