When the UWA closed in 1995 the title was vacated, but 2 years later it was brought back as an Independent circuit title when Kato Kung Lee, Jr. won it.

As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers.Template:Efn On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,Template:Efn or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,Template:Efn or leaving the company.Template:Efn
