The "real" FTW title

Tazz lost the title only once, intentionally pulling an unconscious Sabu over himself on December 19, 1998 (he was confident that he would defeat Shane Douglas in an upcoming title bout, and thus no longer needed the FTW Heavyweight Championship). Taz regained the title at Living Dangerously on March 21, 1999, where he unified the FTW Heavyweight Championship with the ECW World Heavyweight Championship (which he then held) by defeating Sabu in a title versus title match. Taz then began using only the ECW Heavyweight Championship title belt. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Chetti defended it in Maryland Championship Wrestling in 2003 and lost it to Danny Doring on the final MCW show on July 16, 2003 when Doring defeated MEWF Champion Romeo Valentino and Chetti in a three-way match to unify their titles with his MCW Heavyweight Championship.
