Mil Mascaras, 1st Champion

History of Championship

The IWA World Heavyweight Championship was created in 1975, and Mil Mascaras was expected to be it's lead figure. Instead, IWA closed in 1977. Mil Mascaras continued to wear the belt to win, and occasionally defend it as an active championship. It's very unlikely it will ever change hands.
