Over the championship's five-year history, there have been 19 reigns between 15 teams composed of 28 individual champions and three vacancies.

Ivan Koloff and Krusher Khruschev were the inaugural champions, while The Barbarian and Dick Slater were the last ones.

The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane) held the record for most reigns, both as a team and individually, at three.
