RCW Championship

The RCW Championship, previously known as the FPPVW Championship, was a professional wrestling world championship contested in Renegade Championship Wrestling. The title was defended locally in Dayton, Ohio, and in the Midwest, as well as across the country during its latter days. In February 2008, three years after RCW folded, it was unified with the MECCA World Championship.

History

From the beginning, RCW wasted no time in crowning a company champion. Back when it started as FPPVW, it was announced that at their third event, Breakout on July 27, 2003, the first FPPVW Champion would be crowned in a Three Way Dance between top contenders Nykk, Ronin Fox, and Alan Mayse. But early in the night, plans changed as promoter Jon Z announced a new signing for FPPVW. Newcomer Jett Taylor snatched the microphone from Jon and went into business for himself, telling him he wouldn't sign the contract unless he was added to the title match in the main event, making it a Four Way Dance. Jon was angered at the audacity, but was put on the spot in front of the fans, and agreed to it. However, he concocted a plan with the other three participants. As soon as the bell rang, they shot on Taylor, rendering him helpless until the end of the match. Nykk would go on to win and become the first champion.

On May 15, 2005, RCW held its final show, WrestlingRevolution II, where Austin Lee became the final champion at the time. About three years later, Lee had signed with MECCA, where he ran across his former rival Nykk. Having won a tournament granting him the right to request a title shot, Lee requested a shot at Nykk's MECCA World Championship, and to coerce him into cooperating, he brought out the RCW Championship and offered to make it a Unification Match. Nykk agreed, and at Bloody Valentine they met in the ring, with Nykk winning the match and becoming the final champion.
