TheUWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship (Japanese:UWA世界ジュニアヘビー級王座,Hepburn:UWA Sekai Junia Hebī-kyū Ōza) is atitle that was originally promoted by theMexicanlucha librepromotionUniversal Wrestling Association.[1] After the UWA closed in 1995 the title was defended on the Mexicanindependent circuit and in thePuerto Rican promotionWorld Wrestling Council. In 2014, the title was revived byJapanese promotionTenryu Project.[2] In 2016, the title moved to thePro Wrestling Freedoms promotion. The weight range for this championship was 97 kg (214 lb) to 107 kg (236 lb).[3]

As it is a professional wrestling championship, the championship is not won not by actual competition, but by ascripted ending to a match determined by thebookers and match makers.[a] On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,[b] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,[c] or leaving the company.[d]

There have been a total of 47 reigns and fivevacancies shared between 31 different champions. The title is currently held by The Wolf.

  1. ^Hornbaker (2016) p. 550: "Professional wrestling is a sport in which match finishes are predetermined. Thus, win–loss records are not indicative of a wrestler's genuine success based on their legitimate abilities – but on now much, or how little they were pushed by promoters"[4]
  2. ^Duncan & Will (2000) p. 271, Chapter: Texas: NWA American Tag Team Title [World Class, Adkisson] "Championship held up and rematch ordered because of the interference of manager Gary Hart"[5]
  3. ^Duncan & Will (2000) p. 20, Chapter: (United States: 19th Century & widely defended titles – NWA, WWF, AWA, IW, ECW, NWA) NWA/WCW TV Title "Rhodes stripped on 85/10/19 for not defending the belt after having his leg broken by Ric Flair and Ole & Arn Anderson"[6]
  4. ^Duncan & Will (2000) p. 201, Chapter: (Memphis, Nashville) Memphis: USWA Tag Team Title "Vacant on 93/01/18 when Spike leaves the USWA."[7]
  5. ^abcdefgDue to sparse record keeping in Mexico at the time, no documentation of the date the championship changed hands is found and is too uncertain to calculate.

  7. ^The date of at least one of the title changes in this reign is uncertain, which means that the reign lasted between 370 and 734 days.
