Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship. Title changes happen at live events, which are usually released on DVD. The inaugural champion was Romeo Valentino, who defeated Corporal Punishment in the finals of a tournament to win the championship on October 11, 1998, at an MCW live event.[1] As of November 2020, The Bruiser holds the record for most reigns, with eleven. At 435 days, Christian York's second reign is the longest in the title's history. The current champion is Kaun, who is in his first reign. [1] Overall, there have been 58 reigns shared between 32 wrestlers.
