The Championship is the cherry on top of a strong two-year run for Alex Colon in GCW, where he won back-to-back <em><strong>Tournament of Survival<\/strong> <\/em>events in 2019 and 2020 and was a finalist at the 2019 <em><strong>Nick Gage Invitational<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PlanetDeath?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#PlanetDeath<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n7crneNqCh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/n7crneNqCh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kevin Gill (@OGkevingill) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OGkevingill\/status\/1380989460880502789?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 10, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The GCW Ultraviolent Championship seemingly replaces the previous GCW\/JCW Extreme Championship, first won by <strong>Bandido Jr.<\/strong> (now WWE referee Eddie Orengo) in 2013, and held by the likes of <strong>Steve Scott, Pinkie Sanchez, Smiley, Tony Deppen<\/strong>, and <strong>PCO<\/strong>. The title was quietly retired in December of 2018 following PCO&#8217;s departure to Ring of Honor. It appears that this new title will only be defended in deathmatches, and that definitely caught the ear of GCW World Champion Nick Gage, who was on commentary during the Planet Death event, who has his eyes on adding twin gold in GCW.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep up with ALL of our WrestleMania week coverage\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/tag\/wrestlemania-week-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">HERE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
