[2]: The title became vacant when Scott Steiner left WCW for the WWF.
[3]: This is a tournament final.
[4]: Hall wins the WCW WOrld TV belt by forfeit. Since he’s already the WCW U.S. champion, he throws the TV belt in the trashcan on the 11/29/99 edition of Nitro.
[5]: Duggan finds the TV belt in the dumpster and claims the title. During the Russo and Bischoff reset of WCW on 4/10/2000, the WCW World TV title was finally retired.

Footnotes:
[1]: With the renewed ECW television show as WWE would have it be, the ECW title was revived and awarded to Rob Van Dam by Paul Heyman after winning the WWE championship.
[2]: This was an extreme elimination chamber match which also included Rob Van Dam, Test, Hardcore Holly and CM Punk.
[3]: This was a handicap match which put Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Umaga up against ECW champion Bobby Lashley. McMahon got the pinfall and won the title.
[4]: The title became vacant once Lashley was drafted to Raw.
[5]: Chris Benoit was actually chosen to be Punk’s opponent instead of Johnny Nitro (John Morrison) as another top contender, but never arrived for the show. I think we all know why he didn’t show.
[6]: Even though this is the ECW title, it became exclusive to Raw once Kane was drafted on June 23, 2008.
[7]: This was a triple-threat match which also included the Big Show. Since Mark Henry was a part of the ECW brand, the belt once again returned to where it belonged on ECW.
[8]: According the Championship Scramble rules, the ECW title could change hands any time during the match with any one gaining a pinfall on any one else regardless of whether or not they are the current champion. The match included Mark Henry, Finlay, Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero and The Miz.
[9]: Tommy Dreamer won the ECW world title in a triple-threat match which also included Jack Swagger.
