The championship is designated as a
heavyweight title, which means that the championship can officially be competed for only by wrestlers weighing and above, while in reality it has no lower weight limit.

scripted ending to a match determined by the
bookers and match makers. On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, or leaving the company.
