[10.0] "The PWG World Championship is the most prestigious title on the indies. Some of the best wrestlers of the 21st Century have held this belt. Bryan Danielson, AJ Styles, and Kenny Omega are all former PWG World Champions. Between 2012 and 2017, the title had some of the best reigns and defenses. Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and Zack Sabre Jr. all proved why they were worthy of holding the belt. In 2011, the ladder match between Kevin Steen and El Generico at Steen Wolf is a prime example of the title's prestige. A more recent instance would be when Bandido defeated Cobb for the belt at The Makings of a Varsity Athlete. There is a reason why certain indie titles have come and gone but the PWG World Championship has remained in the spotlight."

RatingsMachine wrote on 28.10.2018:

[8.0] "The PWG title has long taken the ROH title's place as the most important singles title in American independent wrestling. That is quite the feat for a title that is rarely defended because the promotion it is part of only runs a handful of times a year. But that also speaks to the generally high calibre of both the wrestlers who hold the title and the title matches themselves."

ThatWrestlingGuy wrote on 15.03.2017:

[10.0] "Very impressive list of champions for a belt only considered to be "Indie". Past champions who proved to be big elsewhere include Danielson (D-Bry, Castagnoli (Cesaro), Steen (Owens), Generico (Zayn), Omega (One of the best outside of WWE)."

[10.0] "The PWG World Championship is one of the most impressive showcases of top indie talent from the mid-2000s onward. It hasn't been hotshotted around too much in recent years and strong title reigns from Roddy, O'Reilly, Cole have upheld its prestige, which is hugely important as PWG continues to grow in popularity."

NastyYaffa wrote on 13.09.2015:

[10.0] "One of my favorite wrestling championships. Everytime PWG World Championship is on the line, you have that "big fight feel" and usually get an excellent match as well. Some of the best PWG World Championship matches are, for an example, Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero, Roderick Strong vs. Zack Sabre Jr, Kevin Steen vs. El Generico etc. An amazing championship that represents an amazing promotion."

Undisputed wrote on 17.04.2015:

[10.0] "Best booked championship in 2013 and 2014 (better than RoH World Title) because every match had very high level. Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly was great champion's for me."
