It became official title on December 5, 1997 when Rik Rachet defeated Chino Martinez in a tournament final to crown the first champion. It was retired on September 15, 2006 when the New Jersey State Championship was re-activated. Kazarian remained champion as a result. Prince Mustafa Ali became the new champion after the title was re-activated. The current champion is Blk Jeez, who is in his first reign. There have been 27 reigns by 21 wrestlers with six vacancies. One of those vacancies came when Billy Reil was injured.
