The World Championship Wrestling World Television Championship was one of the more unusual belts in the history of wrestling. Unlike most wrestling titles, this belt had to be defended by unique set of rules, as the championship could only be defended (and won) on television.
The title was often defended in matches with a time limit of ten or fifteen minutes. More often than with other championships, title matches resulted in time limit draws and the champion retaining the belt. This was often used as a heat-building device to allow a heel champion to retain his title by the skin of his teeth.
