TXW Crusader Title

TXW's second most prestigious has produced some of TXW's most gruesome matches and feuds. While few Crusader's have historically climbed the ladder to become TXW Champion, nearly all have earned great respect and admiration from their fellow wrestlers.

Axl	TXW Warpath August 31, 2002	One	After chasing CM-51 for a month, facing run-ins, six-man tags, and everything else CM-51 could find to try and keep from fighting Axl, Axl got his rematch. He didn't waste it and scored a resounding win over CM-51 to become Crusader champion. The next month he beat CM-51's tag partner, Chris Steel, in a table match at Payback. Axl battled BigBadLard to a double DQ at Overdrive at the end of 2002.
CM-51	TXW Bedlam July 25, 2002	---	CM-51 picked up the Crusader title by scoring the 25th elimination of the night over Victory at TXW Bedlam. The next week, CM-51 retained, but failed to defend his title against Axl when a Chris Steel run-in ended the match in DQ.
[vacated]	TXW Fearscape June 27, 2002	---	In a bizarre twist, the planned third, and final, Crusader title match in the series between Vangea and Andy Sykes ended with both men apparently injured forcing the belt to become vacated.
Vangea	TXW Nemesis May 30, 2002	---	The next month, Andy would not be so lucky when Vangea picked up a quick win over him for the Crusader title in a Falls Count Anywhere match remembered more for what happened afterwards then during.

Sage Sawyer	TXW Hellfire January 24, 2002	Three	Five's undefeated streak came to a 'shocking' end in this strap match that saw the beginning to Deed's of Destruction. At the next Rage, Sage fought off the Cae, suffering a small arm injury in the process, the next week he defeated Alpha. Finally, at Faceoff, Sage defended against a more worthy opponent and won against Five in a bard-filled Adrenalin Match. Sage also lost a match via DQ to Chris Steel.
Five	Thursday Night Rage January 10, 2002	---	Undefeated going into the match, Five walked out the same way with a bit of surprise help from the debuting Sage Sawyer.
Lucky13	Thursday Night Rage November 22, 2001	One	After defecting from TWF with the original TXW Crusader Title. Lucky13 and Mr. Carter squared off in a match to reunite the old title and the new one. When all was said and done Lucky13's speed landed him on top.

Mr. Incendiary	TXW Payback September 23, 2000	---	Mr. Incendiary defeated Phom in a rematch, but this time it wasn't anything as nice as a Cell match.

Phom	TXW Faceoff August 26, 2000	One	Won the first ever, TXW Crusader title match, in a Hell in a brutal Cell match against Cero. His one defense came against Mr. Incendiary in another Hell in a Cell match.
