History

The ICW Zero-G Championship is the secondary title in ICW, next to the longer established ICW World Heavyweight Championship. Though there's no official weight-limit on either title, Zero-G matches tend, with exceptions, to resemble more of a cruiserweight division. It was first won in the finals of a tournament by Noam Dar at Fear and Loathian III at the Maryhill Community Centre. Dar defeated Andy Wild, Falcon and Rob Cage in a fatal-fourway elimination match to be crowned inaugural champion.[7] Dar held the belt for 266 days, the current longest reign before losing it to Lionheart at ICW Summerbam in August 2011. The title has been held by twelve men including notably, future WWE star Fergal Devitt (now Finn Bálor)[8] who won the title from Mark Coffey and held it for 28 days before losing it back to Coffey.
