History
Origination
The title was introduced during the GBYWN Promo Challenge in 2008, where Bridgeview Wrestling Association's (BWA) Shooter recorded an internet video for the challenge appearing with a self-made makeshift championship belt and proclaiming himself the first champion. The title was thus, delegated to the Great Lakes Territory to be defended in that geographical area BWA is located in.
Factually in 2007, Cassias Chaos was the first to appear with the idea of a community championship designed to represent the website when he declared himself in an online promo as GBYWN Champion, although not sanctioned as legitimate. Chaos was slated to defend the title against "The Cheese Kid" Steven Alvarez, but the match never came to execution. Inexplicably after absence of Chaos, the title was relocated to Backyard Kid Wrestling where Alvarez claimed it to the community's acknowledgement. Circa 2009, two top championships became confusingly unnecessary and the GBYWN Title was converted into the GBYWN West Coast Championship. The World Heavyweight Title, however, remained the top tier community title, despite the fact that the title holders are not "heavyweights" aside from arguably Xcal, who had held the belt once.
Championship Activity
Shooter from BWA defended the championship on June 6, 2009 during the second day of BWA 4th Anniversary: Global Domination and lost to EXWF's Xcal, whereas, the belt went over to his correspondent promotion. Xcal then lost the belt a week later to 2KW's and JWA's FX, who held competition for it from New York to Nevada successfully defending it. On October 27th, 2009, at ICW's Midwest Extravaganza, Shooter defeated FX and ICW's The Pen Name to win the title for the second time. At the CCW Welcome to the Real World supershow on day 2, defending champion Shooter lost the championship to challenger and former member of Epic 1 and CWA, Joe Randa. Randa then lost the championship in a 4 way to Robby Roberts of WZW also involving the pen name and ian finnigan.
