5 The Solution
(Havok and Papadon)
2001-2002 JCW House show New Jersey 1 N/A The exact length of this reign is uncertain. Neither the exact date when Havok and Papadon won the titles is known. The first documentation of them holding the titles was a defence against Andrew Anderson and Wenzel from March 3, 2002. [3]

7 The Dirty Rotten Scoundrelz
(EC Negro and KC Blade)
January–March 2003 N/A N/A 1 N/A Cagematch.de states that EC Negro and KC Blade held the titles beginning from somewhere between January and March 2003. However their title win does not appear in the title history list, but it does in a title defence against Tony Blaze and Warpath from March 9, 2003 at the JCW Skin To Win event.
