History of the VWW World Television Championship

Here's another VWW history lession for the championship statistics fans among you. This time VWW's tertiary title, the VWW World Television Championship.
Unfortunately I don't have any more of those awesome title renderings, so I have to use this borrowed snapshot.

The Television Championship started as a gimmick, being contested between two former WWE wrestlers, known around the world. A title for TV stars.
While it soon started an identity of its own, the title's true value at first was undefined. Aya Kazama can be credited with bringing prestige to the championship, defending it very often and around the world in high-profile matches, turning herself and the belt into household names in the process. Hence during her second reign, the title's name was changed from VWW Television Championship to VWW World Television Championship.
Since then many international stars have held this title.
While the title is not part of VWW's Triple Crown, it is needed to complete the Grand Slam ( the World Hardcore Title is also eligible, though ).
Fun Fact: Over VWW's history, there have been THREE wrestlers of Vietnamese descent ( Thuy Nguyen, Bille Jett and Minh-Khai ). And as of today, they have ALL held this championship!

Find out in the list below and have fun catching up on VWW's rich history
PS: The countries mentioned after the names of the champions are the respective title holder's home country, FYI.
