A 26 year old championship has officially been retired at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, leading to an emotional moment from a beloved veteran professional wrestler.
Although All Elite Wrestling is still young, there is plenty of legacy within the company.Not only is there a plethora of professional wrestling veterans, but plenty of titles and tournaments pay tribute to the history of the sport.This includes the FTW Championship, which was introduced in Extreme Championship Wrestling over 26 years ago.Now, that time has officially come to an end.
'And, hey, everybody knows that there's no way a f*** from Pittsburgh can beat up a man from Brooklyn,' Taz said of then ECW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Douglas.'So what I got right here, I am the world champion, and I have the proof. You can call it the Brooklyn Title or the F*** The World Belt!'Shortened to the FTW Heavyweight Championship, Taz held the title for 219 days before dropping it to Sabu at 'Hardcore TV' on Dec. 19, 1998.
