The Max Wrestling World Championship was introduced on the 300th episode of the Max Wrestling Podcast as a surprise from Mike Larkin, Travis Anderson, Moses Marquez and Emir Costello - whom presented it to The Captain. As the top tier title in Max Wrestling, The World Championship is more often decided via pre-determined promo exhibition - by which the participants plan the outcome, but it can also be defended in trivia competition. The pre-determined method was originally used at PromoMania VI in a cinematic match. One exception was the King Of The Mic 2021 final, where Anderson challenged The Phoenix to also defend his World Title in the match. As the match was already a tournament final, it remained a decision by public vote. Since promo competition was discontinued on Max Wrestling in October 2021, the World Championship was the only championship that could change hands in promo form, until August 2022, when Moses Marquez decided to defend the Television Championship in a pre-determined promo bout. There have been 7 different champions over 10 reigns. |
