[6.0] "I've enjoyed some of the matches and did enjoy Blake Christians run and Mances run with the title, but other then that to say this is the biggest world title in indy wrestling is a bit of an over statement when most of the matches are just death matches. I don't think ive seen a match without weapons for this title."

[6.0] "Since they are not currently evaluated by PWI, GCW's World Title is arguably the most prestigious independent world championship out of the mix. They've had a few league-level names hold the title such as Jon Moxley and Matt Cardona, in addition it being a stepping stone for Masha Slamovich in her ascension in her career."

sixxgod wrote on 15.03.2024:

[6.0] "Probably the most important title in indie wrestling, although I will say it hasn't really felt all that important during Blake Christian's run. I like Blake and I like that he defends constantly but something just isn't clicking for me with this. Always an interesting set of names hovering around the scene though"

[8.0] "Probably the biggest title in independent wrestling at this time. Got in front of a lot more eyes recently between Matt Cardona's all too brief run and the transition Moxley. You don't need to be a fan of Nick Gave to know this title is a big deal."

[8.0] "This world title is the biggest prize to win so they say, though it feels fighting Nick Gage is more important as he has gone over the world title match so many times. RSP really pushed that in his run saying he was never in the main event and he's right despite being champion. Since then the belt has changed it's look to a more professional design and I reallyy like it, the silver looks fantastic instead of gold."

Bill wrote on 26.09.2019:

[10.0] "This is a title being done right, it's made to feel like a big deal, and when the belt is put on someone, you know their run is going to be great. Every title match has fans on the edge of their seats as the title rarely changes hands, and it even makes the wrestler holding the belt feel like a bigger deal. I would say this is the best belt in wrestling history."
