Notes
When the title was first created, the FTW belt was a duplicate ECW Television Championship belt, with its' strap spray-painted orange, and "FTW" stickers placed over the ECW logos. A few months later, that belt design was abandoned and a new, original FTW belt was introduced, with a "TAZ" logo engraved in the belt's centerplate.
According to Taz on the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD, when he lost the new belt in a match against Sabu, Sabu was legitimately upset backstage over Taz's name being permanently displayed on the belt. From then on, whenever Sabu had the belt with him, he would cover the Taz logo with athletic tape and write "SABU" on it in magic marker.
