The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name. The first champion was Pat Patterson, who won the championship in 1979, while as of February 2011 the champion is Dolph Ziggler. Overall, there have been 66 different champions, with Chris Jericho having the most reigns at nine.
As of February 14, 2011.
