ICW Television Championship
Details
Promotion International Championship Wrestling
Date established September 9, 1980
Date retired 1983

The ICW Television Championship was a singles 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]
