History
The title became known under its current name in February 2006, when PWG had a two-event European Vacation tour stopping in Essen, Germany and Orpington, England. The title has also been defended in Japan in the Dragon Gate promotion, as well as in the United Kingdom in 1PW and again on PWG's European Vacation II tour in Paris, France, Portsmouth, England and Essen, Germany, with it recently being defended in Queensland, Australia. Bryan Danielson is the only individual to have held the PWG World Championship, FIP World Heavyweight Championship and the ROH World Championship.
Reigns
The inaugural champion was Frankie Kazarian, who won the championship by defeating Joey Ryan in the finals of a sixteen man tournament on August 30, 2003 at PWG's Bad Ass Mother 3000 - Stage 2 event. At 425 days, Chris Hero's only reign is the longest in the title's history. Bryan Danielson is the shortest reigning champion in history by vacating it immediately after winning it for the second time. Frankie Kazarian, Human Tornado and Bryan Danielson hold the record for most reigns, with 2. As of December 2009, Kenny Omega is the current champion in his first reign. Omega defeated Roderick Strong on November 21, 2009, in the finals of the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles to win the vacant title. Overall, there have been 15 reigns among 12 different wrestlers.[1]
