The MWA (Michigan Wrestling Association) Hardcore Championship is a backyard wrestling Hardcore Championship as recognized by the Michigan Wrestling Association. It was first awarded on December 27, 2010 to Skull Jr., who defeated Karnage and John Smith in a triple threat ladder match.

Background

On December 27, 2010, at MWA's second "IMPACT", there were qualifying matches to go to a ladder match later in the night to determine the first MWA Hardcore Champion. John Smith and Skull Jr. qualified, as well as Karnage, who qualified with a loss to Lance Manion in a match for the MWA World Heavyweight Title to determine who was going in champion at the "New Year's Bash" supercard in January. Skull won the ladder match to become the first champion. The MWA Hardcore Title was defended by Skull at the supershow "NBYWA 2: Rivals" on April 23, 2011 against Lance in the first round of a two-round hardcore match. Skull retained. The second round was for Skull's NBYWA World Heavyweight Championship which he lost after Karnage interfered. On June 25, Skull vacated the Hardcore Title for a shot at the MWA World Title, which his contract allows him to do. The title remained vacant until December 18, 2011, where at "HCW Snow Storm", Hung Solo defeated RPK and Karnage in a triple threat match. On May 31, 2012, Skull Jr. became the new owner of MWA and vacated the title on June 11. The reason he did so was so that he could book a match at MWA's final show on September 15 to determine the last champion. No match had yet been announced for the Hardcore Title, when on September 3, the title's designation was changed to defunct. Since no match was held to deactivate the title, MWA recognizes June 11 as the date of deactivation.
