EAW Interwire Championship

The EAW Interwire Championship is a professional e-wrestling mid-card championship in Extreme Answers Wrestling (EAW). It is currently part of the Showdown brand and is one of the three mid-card championships, complimenting the EAW National Extreme Championship on the Dynasty brand and the EAW Pure Championship on the Voltage brand. It was first established when EAW was introduced as a brand within Answers Championship Wrestling as the AWF Interweb Championship. This championship eventually went over to EAW when it became its own federation and the name was changed to the EAW Interwire Championship. Its extensive history is a testament to its distinguishing value to Extreme Answers Wrestling and, most often, its strong mid-card. The Interwire Championship has been held by some of the best competitors in the mid-card, eventual world champions, and Hall of Famers.

Origin
The Interwire Championship was a part of AWF before its time in EAW as an independent federation, but the first match and inaugural champion for the EAW Interwire Championship was between Mister K and Lethal Consequences. At Mid-Summer Massacre, Mister K defeated Lethal Consequences to become the first-ever EAW Interwire Champion in the independent Extreme Answers Wrestling federation.

Prominence
The EAW Interwire Championship has become a very coveted in the company as many future world champions and Hall of Famers have claimed the championship in their quest for eternal greatness. The first and longest-reigning champion, Mister K, was able to bring much prestige before having it fall in the hands of The Dark Emperor. After his reign with the Interwire Championship, he soon was to become a world champion and make his way towards becoming a Grand Slam Champion and Hall of Famer. For a long time, no man was able to hold the championship more than once until Vic Vendetta won the championship from Norman Hellion, making a record of being a two-time champion. Many other world champions like Brian Daniels, HRDO, Kevin Devastation, Tyler Parker, Kawajai, Scott Diamond and more have also won this championship to bring more prestige to the belt in their career.

Reigns
The EAW Interwire Championship was introduced 2007 (later in 2008 in the independent EAW). The inaugural champion was Mister K after he defeated Lethal Consequences. There have been twenty-seven (27) different official champions, with Vic Vendetta having the most reigns at two each. The longest reigning EAW Interwire Champion was Mister K who held the championship for approximately seven (7) months (between Mid-Summer Massacre and Grand Rampage IV). The shortest reigning EAW Interwire Champion is currently unknown. The current champion is Vic Vendetaa, who is reigning in his second tenure as EAW Interwire Champion in his career. He won the championship when he defeated Norman Hellion at Pain for Pride Seven when he cashed in his 24/7 Contract on Norman during the Cash in the Vault Ladder Match.
