CAW Champions League

Founded on December 1, 2009, the **CAW Champions League (CCL)** was designed to showcase the best CAW has to offer through characters rarely used on CAW shows and collaborative efforts with other CAW leagues. The league was originally scheduled to begin its shows on April 1, 2010, but the positive reception of its countdown videos lead to a much earlier than expected debut in January 2010. CCL's signature show, Adrenaline debuted on Youtube on January 9, 2010. Its goal is to provide the best in CAW entertainment.

## History

Founded by Sushi-X in December 2009 on various CAW forums, including SMF Forums, CAW Mainstream, and CAW Underground, CCL was originally intended to go in one of two directions: create a league from scratch with talent hardly used in CAW leagues, or create a league featuring the best of the best of CAW. The former was a much easier plan of the two, so it was developed in this sense.

A series of videos were uploaded on Youtube showcasing nearly the entire roster through December 2009 and January 2010.

## Revolution

### Season 1

In June 2010, a CAW search was conducted, and eight CAWs would be chosen to compete for a spot on the CCL roster and a World Heavyweight Championship match. In late July, the final eight were announced: Boa the Constrictor, Epic Ball, Matt Phoenix, Overkill, Patrick Sander, Shawn Dynasty, Vector Haze, and Xavier. In April 2011, the final three of season 1 were Matt Phoenix, the Butcher, and Patrick Sander. In the end, Matt Phoenix became the winner of Revolution and earn a CCL contract.

### Season 2

In June 2011, a CAW search for season 2 of Revolution was conducted, and twelve CAWs would be chosen to compete for a spot on the CCL roster and a World Heavyweight Championship match. One of the biggest changes: the twelve men are split into teams of six. (Yes, they do eventually merge.) But the contract and title match goes to one man and one man only. In July, the final twelve were announced:

* Team Xbox - BESM, Ethen Lock, King Justin, Marcus Nash, Michael Frost, "The Immortal" Steven

* Team PS - Blade Myers, Caylen Wolfe, Chris Knight, Crackdown, Jack Kaizer, TRT.

On November 27, 2012, it was announced via the CCL Facebook and Twitter pages that the second season would be discontinued effective immediately, and a winner crowned at Holiday Havoc 3. At Holiday Havoc 3, TRT won a TLC match involving BESM, Chris Knight, and Crackdown to win the contract and is recognized as that season's winner.
