It was the first singles championship established in SCW, having been introduced in 1994, in the finals of a four-man tournament.

At 892 days, Johnny Gunn first and only reign is the longest in the title's history.

T. Rantula's third reign was the shortest in the history of the title having been stripped of the championship the day after he won it.

The previous champion, Cueball Carmichael, had won control of SCW for 30 days prior to their match.

He justified the decision as T. Rantula had been a substitute for his originally scheduled opponent Dennis Gregory.
