XAWA Hardcore Championship

The XAWA Hardcore Championship is a specialty-tier belt owned by the XAWA. The belt was established in late 2011. The belt is unique, in that the belt is defended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in what is known as the "24/7 rule". Also, matches for the Hardcore Championship are contested under Hardcore rules, meaning no disqualifications, no count-outs and falls count anywhere.

History
The belt began life in 2003 as the AWA Hardcore Championship, and was initially awarded to the belt's creator, Blackheart. The belt was defended many times in the AWA, usually in what were normally considered the most well-recieved matches on the card. The final AWA Hardcore Champion was Blade, who won the belt at the 2008 Violence is the Answer event, and did not defend it following.

Prominence
The belt resurfaced in 2011 as the XAWA Hardcore Championship and was immediately won by Hitman Cox. The belt would change hands many times. However, it was even more prominent in 2012, when the returning Blackheart would capture the belt a record 6 times that year. It was so influential, that Blackheart declared that all of his matches be Hardcore matches.

Main article: List of XAWA Hardcore Champions

The XAWA Hardcore Championship was introduced into the XAWA in 2011. The inaugural champion was Hitman Cox, and there have been 21 champions overall. The longest reigning champion was Cyrus Mason at 161 days. It is generally accepted that the shortest title reign is held by Matt Lethal, who held the belt for 10 seconds due to the 24-7 rule, which makes rapid-fire title changes possible, and therefore many wrestlers have held the belt for less than a day. The youngest champion was Adrian Hollow, who held the belt at age 18. The oldest champion was American Hillbilly, who held the belt at 40 years of age. Blackheart has held the belt the most amount of times, with 19 reigns. The current champion is Blackheart, who is in his record twenty-first reign, having defeated Taven at Laid to Rest in a Texas Death Match.
