ICW World Heavyweight Championship

ICW World Heavyweight Championship

The ICW World Heavyweight Championship was the top singles championship of International Championship Wrestling. Many title defenses featured matches between Randy Savage and his real-life brother Lanny Poffo.

After the original ICW shut down in 1984, Paul Christy started his own ICW promotion.

The title history in 1979 is not clear. It is possible that Randy Savage won the title in July rather than on March 13. In addition, one source does not recognize the title changes between Savage and Poffo between this reign and 1982, as it claims that Savage won the title in 1979 and held it for over four years before dropping it to Christy.

Since the ICW championships were not given world title status by "Pro Wrestling Illustrated", this championship was seen as a regional championship, although it was considered the top singles championship of the promotion.cite book | author=Royal Duncan & Gary Will | title=Wrestling Title Histories | publisher=Archeus Communications | year=4th Edition 2006 | id=ISBN 0-9698161-5-4 ]
