The inaugural champion was Mike Anthony, who defeated Kevin Quinn in a tournament final on May 22, 1993 to become the first WCW League Champion. Anthony, Terry Allen, and Steve Boz are tied for the record for most reigns, with three each. At 714 days, Steve Boz's first reign is the longest in the title's history. Abaddon's only reign was the shortest in the history of the title winning a Fatal Four Way match involving Acid Jaz, Marshe Rockett, and Justin Adams only to lose it to Curse on the same night. Coincidentally, he defeated the last champion, Sean Mulligan, on May 17, 2008 at Battle of the Belts 20 to unify the Bare Knuckles, Heavyweight and League titles. Wrestling under the name "Austin Roberts", he was the promotion's heavyweight champion at the time. Overall, there have been 28 reigns shared between 17 wrestlers, with three vacancies, and 2 deactivations.
