The NBYWA (National Backyard Wrestling Alliance) World Heavyweight Championship is a backyard wrestling World Heavyweight Championship as recognized by the National Backyard Wrestling Alliance. It was first awarded on September 28, 2009 to The Pen Name, who at that time, was in the roster of NBYWA federation Indiana Championship Wrestling.
Background
On January 6, 2009, Skull Jr. of Total Hardcore Wrestling and RPK of Hybrid Championship Wrestling announced a supershow event to take place later that August. When Skull had a falling out with the Global Backyard Wrestling News, he created NBYWA, and afterward the already defunct GBYWN Michigan Heavyweight Championship was revived by NBYWA as the International Heavyweight Championship. The supershow was then going to crown the first NBYWA World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Championships. The event lost it's potential and eventually became an HCW-exclusive show, and no new Champions were crowned. After much delay, Skull Jr. awarded The Pen Name of Indiana Championship Wrestling the belt on September 28, 2009. It was first defended on September 30, in a 7-7 tie with The Executioner in an Iron Man Match for both the NBYWA World Title and the ICW Undisputed Hardcore Heavyweight Title. It is the only time the Title has been on the line as of 2010. On March 21, 2010, ICW closed, and The Pen Name eventually moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to join Suicidal Wrestling Clash. Though not a federation in the NBYWA, Skull let TPN keep the belt, as he was a possible wrestler to appear at his supershow. On August 25, 2010, TPN told Skull he wouldn't be able to show up, and the title was vacated immediately.
