ICW United States Tag Team Championship

The ICW United States Tag Team Championship was the top tag team championship in International Championship Wrestling.^[1] Because the championship is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decision of the bookers of a wrestling promotion. The championship is awarded after the chosen team "wins" a match to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.^[2]

Footnotes

1. Due to gaps in the championship history it is impossible to determine this.
2. The location of the match was not captured as part of the championship documentation.
3. The date that the championship was lost has not been found documented which means the title reign lasted between 1 day and 199 days.
4. Neither the date the title was won or lost has been documented, making it too uncertain to determine any length for this reign.
