Wild Wade Chism
Encyclopedia
Wade Chism made his debut in World League Wrestling in February 2001. Chism is a five time WLW Heavyweight Champion
and a three time Tag Team Champion
.
in early 2001. In one of his first matches he defeated Trevor Murdoch. Chism's first professional championship was a WLW Tag Team Championship
. He and Murdoch won the title on March 8, 2002 in Lebanon, Missouri
defeating The Gold Exchange. Later that year, Chism won his first WLW Heavyweight Championship
.
Chism, however, did not hold another belt until he and Dakota won the WLW Tag Team Championship on November 13, 2004 in Kansas City
. They held the belts for 175 days before losing them to Ace Steele and Superstar Steve. Chism then focused on singles action winning back the WLW Heavyweight Championship on July 23, 2005 and holding it for 189 days. After a match with Keith Walker
the title was held up and vacated and Chism won a Triple Threat match in St. Joseph against Jason Bates
and Walker on February 26, 2006. His third reign only lasted one day as the next night he lost the belt to Bates. His fourth reign started much as his third ended as both matches were in the same city against the same opponent (El Dorado and against Jason Bates).
Wade went on to have the feud against Keith Walker
. The two battled over the belt all over the state. Walker got the best of Chism on May 13, 2006, winning the belt in St. Joseph, and ending Chism's fourth title reign. Chism challenged Walker over the next couple months for the belt. The two had a match that ended in a Double Count Out so WLW owner Harley Race
made a lumberjack match for the two on July 8 in Eldon. On this night, Chism won the belt back for a record fifth time.
Chism lost the title to Daniel Cross 105 days later. This marked the last time Wade held the WLW Championship. Later that year he took a young Mike DiBiase
under his wing and together the two won the WLW Tag Team Championships on December 9, 2006. This marked the third time Chism was a Tag Team Champion and the last championship he has held to date. The team was stripped due to DiBiase being injured.
