As 2011 rang in, Herb Simmons and Larry Matysik restructured SICW. No longer would they recognize the numerous titles in the MMWA-SICW alliance.
Until his death in 2018, Matysik insisted that the title be called “Classic Wrestling Championship” without the promotional prefix. Afterwards, the prefix was added. It is the highest honor in SICW.
