Current champion Eli Drake

The TNA King of the Mountain Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. It is currently appearing in both TNA and in Global Force Wrestling (GFW).[1][2] Being a professional wrestling championship, it is won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. All title changes have occurred at TNA-promoted events thus far. Title changes that occur on TNA's television program Impact Wrestling (also known as TNA Impact! until May 3, 2011) usually air on tape delay and as such are listed with the day the tapings occurred, rather than the air date.

The title was introduced by Booker T as the "TNA Legends Championship" on the October 23, 2008 episode of Impact!.[3] Since its introduction, the title has gone under several different names. It continued as the Legends Championship until Eric Young renamed it the "TNA Global Championship" during his first reign on the October 29, 2009 episode of Impact!.[4] During A.J. Styles' second reign, it was named the "TNA Television Championship" on the July 29, 2010 episode of Impact!.[5] It remained under this name until July 3, 2014, when TNA Executive Director Kurt Angle deactivated the title.[6] It was reactivated a year later when TNA renamed it the TNA King of the Mountain Championship and held a King of the Mountain match at their Slammiversary pay-per-view (PPV) event on June 28 between Jeff Jarrett, Matt Hardy, Young, Drew Galloway, and Bobby Roode.[7] Jarrett won the match and the championship, and as a result of Jarrett being GFW founder, the title was also featured in GFW along with TNA.[1][2]

The inaugural champion was Booker T.[3] The current champion is Eli Drake, who won the title on April 23 at the May 24 episode tapings of Impact Wrestling.[8] Eric Young holds the record for most reigns, with three. The longest reign in the title history is Abyss' second reign at Script error: The function "age_generic" does not exist. days. PJ Black's only reign holds the record for shortest reign in the title's history at one day. Abyss holds the record for combined days as champion, with 460. Overall, there have been 23 reigns shared among 17 wrestlers, with three vacancies and one deactivation. Eric Young is the only wrestler to hold this title under all four of its incarnations.
