Road to crown a Champion
In July 2009, it was announced that the first ever SCBYWA Heavyweight Champion would be crowned. The crowning would take place at the SCBYWA's first supershow, SCBYWA WrestleFest 2009. Each fed that participated in the event would have one representative to challenge for the title in an Xtreme King of the Mountain Match. Sean Van, Joshua Chilton, and Mr. MVP were chosen by their respective feds to enter the match. Kurtis Spade won a qualifier / UWO Heavyweight Championship match to enter the match. Mr. MVP would win that match and become the first ever champion.
Mr. MVP's Reign
Mr. MVP became the first ever champion by proving how much of an opportunist he is. While Joshua Chilton was attempting a powerbomb, MVP had the title belt in his hands and hung it in mid air. During Mr. MVP's six month reign he defended the title against the likes of Mike Jones at BCW-TNG Hard Knocks & at BCW-TNG Annihilation in an Ultimate Submission Match, Justin Gage at BCW-TNG Evolution in a very bloody 3 Stages of Hell Match, and Malice & Dustin Pate in a 3 Way Full Metal Mayhem Match at BCW-TNG Lethal Lottery. He even changed his entrance song to "The Champ is Here" by DJ Green Lantern and claimed no one would ever take his title. However, MVP's reign would end on April 18, 2010 when Sterling Silverman defeated him in a No Rules, No Limits Match at SCBYWA Blaze of Glory 2010. His reign will be remembered for being the first in history.
Sterling Silverman's Reign
After defeating Mr. MVP, he made his first title defense against Malice at UWO 13: May Day 2 for both the SCBYWA Heavyweight Title and the SCBYWA Internet Title, that match would end in a no contest due to outside interference by Gimmick Infringement. At UWO 14: Choose Your Destiny, Sterling defended the championship successfully against Sean Van & Bull McBride in a triple threat match. Silverman would finally loose the title to Bull McBride, who had been chasing the title since Sterling's title win in April, in a 30 minute Anything Goes IronMan match at SCBYWA Chaos Theory 2010. His loss of the championship was shrouded in controversy, as Malice, Sean Van, & Joshua Chilton would interfere in the match. Silverman's title reign was 4 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days long.
Unification and Expansion
During the reign of Sterling Silverman, July 22, 2010, the Global Backyard Wrestling Nation would decide to unify the SCBYWA Heavyweight Championship with the GBYWN Mid South Atlantic Heavyweight Championship. In doing so, the title became more than state wide. The title holder would now be champion of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The SCBYWA was now the top fed in the Mid South Atlantic area of the United States as recognized by the GBYWN.
Bull McBride's Reign
Bull McBride defeated Sterling Silverman at SCBYWA Chaos Theory 2010 in an 30 Minute Anything Goes IronMan Match after interference from MiZerY, Sean Van, & Malice. The 3 would then reveal that, along side Bull, they were a group to be known as Prestige. Bull would then successfully defend the title against Sterling in his rematch at NAX Ashes 2 Gold. McBride defended his championship successfully against Hall, Reverend Revis, Sterling Silverman, and Mike Jones in an Xtreme King of the Mountain Match at SCBYWA WrestleFest II (2010). Hall would assist this win and join Prestige. At NAX Wicked Nightmare Bull would be forced to defend the title against Sean Van, a fellow member of Prestige. After attempting to avoid the match by Sean laying down for Bull and even substituting a "sick" Van with a 14 year old kid, the GM forced their hand with threats of a 90 suspension with no pay. After a 30 minute battle, Mr. McBride would once again come out on top. A month later, a match with huge stakes was signed. Bull would have to defend the title against the leader of a rouge group who came together to take out Prestige, that man was Rocman Da Pimp. The match was drawn at random, as part of the Luck of the Draw event, to be a "Kiss My Ass - Reverse Ladder Match." And if Rocman lost he would be Prestige's "Bitch" for 30 days. Rocman would actually hang the championship, however the referee was down and never saw this. Bull would take advantage of this and take out Da Pimp and claim his victory as the ref regained consciousness. After these events took place the SCBYWA transitioned into SCW. At the first SCW event, SCW The Last Stand 2011, TJ Boss would defeat Bull in a Last Man Standing Match for the title with help from The Commission. McBride's title reign was 4 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days.
Going Independent
On December 1, 2010, the SCBYWA was shut down by the SC LLR. The result was SCW, the same promotion only renamed a legally licensed as an independent wrestling company.
TJ Boss' Reign
TJ won the championship from Bull McBride at SCW The Last Stand 2011 in a Last Man Standing Match after aligning himself with the villainous Commission. Members of The Commission would hold Bull down while the referee was forced to count to 10. The worst case scenario had happened, the SCW Heavyweight Title belonged to The Commission. At SCW Evolution 2011, Bull would defeat TJ in a title match by disqualification as TJ would assault the official. The dq win would not constitute a title change. At SCW Best of the Best 2011 it was announced that TJ Boss would defend the title against Joshua Chilton and Bull McBride in a Triple Threat Match at SCW Blaze of Glory 2 (2011). TJ would go on to win that contest via Chilton, now MiZerY, aiding Boss into victory. This is when The Black List Society was born. On July 22, 2011 TJ Boss became the longest reigning SCW Heavyweight Champion in history. After xWa won control of SCW at SCW Justice 4 All 2011, the championship would be renamed the xWa Heavyweight Championship. TJ would again successfully retain his championship at SCW Extreme Justice 2011 against James Hall in an Extreme Justice Match. At SCW/XWA WrestleFest III (2011), TJ Boss would be defeated for his championship by James Hall in a King of the Mountain Match. Also involved in this match was Brian Thrill and Eric Thompson. This victory for Hall also would mark the end for xWa.
James Hall's Reign
Hall would win the coveted title at the biggest event of the year, WrestleFest III. In doing so, he also won back his company, SCW.
