Sky High of Arsion Championship

The Sky High of Arsion Championship (Japanese: スカイ・ハイ・オブ・アルシオン王座, Hepburn: Sukai Hai Obu Arushion Ōz) was a women's professional wrestling championship owned by the Hyper Visual Fighting Arsion promotion. Like most professional wrestling championships, the title was won as a result of a scripted match. The championship, which was meant for high-flying wrestlers, was introduced on September 23, 1999, when Chaparita Asari defeated Ayako Hamada in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural champion.[1][2] During the next four years, there were six reigns shared among five different wrestlers. The title was retired when Arsion went out of business on June 22, 2003, making Akino the final champion in the title's history.[1][2] The title belt was later awarded as a trophy to Dark Angel, after she defeated Princesa Sujei at an Estrella★Japan event on April 5, 2010.[4][5]
