It was originally created on June 29 2002 as the NWA/UPW/ZERO-ONE International Junior Heavyweight Championship, symbolizing ZERO-ONE's relationship with the NWA and UPW; Leonardo Spanky defeated Smelly to become the first champion.cite web |url=http://zerooneusa.com/title_jr.shtml |title=AWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship official title history |accessdate=2007-07-20 |publisher=ZEROONEUSA.com ] When ZERO-ONE left the NWA on October 31 2004, the title was renamed to incorporate Steve Corino's Pro Wrestling WORLD-1; the name was further added to when the newly-renamed ZERO1-MAX joined the AWA on February 28 2005. On August 26 2006, when Minoru Fujita won the annual Tenka-Ichi Junior Tournament, it was again renamed the AWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. When ZERO1-MAX left the AWA on December 15 2007, it was renamed again to the ZERO1-MAX International Junior Heavyweight Championship. Finally, when the company changed its name to Pro Wrestling ZERO1 in 2008, the championship followed. There have been a total of 10 recognized champions who have had a combined 15 official reigns.
