In professional wrestling, championships are competed for in scripted storylines by a promotion company's roster of contracted wrestlers. IWE is a Stamford, Connecticut-based sports entertainment company primarily focused on professional wrestling. The promotion was founded in 1952 as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC). In the company's 50 year history, over twenty different unique championships have been operated and contended for. These titles consisted of divisional, special stipulations, and weight-class championships. Of these titles, nineteen have been retired and succeeded through replacement titles or title unifications. The first retired championship was in 1967 with the IWWF United States Tag Team Championship (created in 1953), while the most recent was the IWE Women's Championship (created in 1956) in September 2010.
