CAW Champions League

Founded on December 1, 2009, the CAW Champions League (CCL) was designed to showcase the best CAW has to offer through characters rarely used on CAW shows and collaborative efforts with other CAW leagues. The league was originally scheduled to begin its shows on April 1, 2010, but the positive reception of its countdown videos lead to a much earlier than expected debut in January 2010. CCL's signature show, Adrenaline debuted on Youtube on January 9, 2010. Its goal is to provide the best in CAW entertainment. Or at least not suck trying.

History
Founded by Sushi-X in December 2009 on various CAW forums, including SMF Forums, CAW Mainstream, and CAW Underground, CCL was originally intended to go in one of two directions: create a league from scratch with talent hardly used in CAW leagues, or create a league featuring the best of the best of CAW. The former was a much easier plan of the two, so it was developed in this sense.

A series of videos was uploaded on Youtube showcasing the nearly the entire roster through the months of December 2009 and January 2010.

CAW Champion of Champions
This is a multi-league championship created by the CCL that could only be defended against someone that is not on the roster of the league's current champion. The championship was created in association with WEDF in early 2010 as a prize for winning the CAW King of the Ring tournament. Bret Michaels won the CAW King of the Ring tournament by defeating Gangsta Shaun (DWA) in the final to win the title. Michaels was presented with the championship at CCL Uprising on April 1.

As a result of the owner of CCL saying the CAW Champion of Champions belt is multi-league, on July 28th, Bret willingly relinqueshed the CAW Champion of Champions title before a defense against Michael Heinman. Before a match for the vacated title, Heinman taunted Bret, resulting in Bret laying him out with a superkick. Heinman's opponent, Jeff Winninger emerged and pinned him, picking up his first victory in over a year, as well as his first World Championship in CAW.
