The UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Championship was a tag team championship created during the working relationship between the Mexican Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) and the Japanese Universal Lucha Libre (also called the Universal Wrestling Federation, UWF) from 1991 to 1993, when the title became inactive. The championship was revived in 2001 by Michinoku Pro Wrestling (MPW), and later moved to its final home, Kaientai Dojo (K-DOJO), the following year. The title was abandoned in 2005, when it was replaced with Kaientai Dojo's Strongest-K Tag Team Championship instead.[1] [2]
As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers. On occasion the championship was declared vacant, which meant there is no champion at that point in time. This occurred due to either a storyline, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury or otherwise being unable to defend the championship.
