[0.0] "Okay look, I don't think anyone here has ever actually watched much of this title history, or more specifically Eddy Steinblock (who isn't a good wrestler), but you can just look at this singular, 13 year long title reign (and the match against One Warrior Nation) to realize this is a bunch of a dogshit that meant nothing, and it effectively made this promotion it was made for, Eddy's own promotion, look like a joke. You don't need to be smart to realize that."

[5.0] "The issue that WWE has had for the longest times in terms of titles for their cruiserweight division is caring long enough. Cruiserweight, Light Heavyweight, etc. Always starts off strong, then dies off and becomes not important anymore. At least this belt didn't have Duane Gill. - no wait, Hornswoggle held it for 2 months. ah fuck it."

[9.0] "Gunther's reign has really brought this belt back to something way more serious, important and only under the world titles, instead of feeling more on-par with the U.S. title. The moment Gunther drops it, he will leave to be on top of the card, and leaving a belt better than it has been in years."

[] "I like the look of this belt way more than I do with the World Heavyweight Championship, that's for sure. Personally? I think David Finlay winning the title made sense, both in storyline in how the belt had to be created and that David needed a title win like this to cement himself as a bigger deal, and that Will Ospreay was AEW bound and Jon Moxley mostly wrestles in America. A bit of a short inaugural reign though in my opinion, I wish he could've held onto it a little longer than he did. I'm not complaining about Nic Nemeth winning the title though, he's certainly being rightfully pushed way better than he was in WWE, and he deserves it. We'll see how it goes from here I suppose."

[8.0] "I think why I'm rating this title a little higher than it honestly should be mostly because of the look of the belt. It's unique and one of a kind, a little ridiculous in the best way possible, and it's one of my personal favorite belt designs at the current moment. Unfortunately, I can't really rate it much higher despite that, due to the booking. Zack Sabre Jr. was a fantastic holder of the belt, and really made sense for him to hold it. The loss to Hiroshi Tanahashi I have no complaints about. I just wished Tanahashi held it for longer and defended it more than he did. Matt Riddle winning the title I'm not exactly sure about, mostly because it's Riddle and I don't know if it makes sense for him to hold the title. But hey, maybe I can be proven wrong."

[8.0] "Maybe it's too early to call it, but certainly a much better start to a world title than the fucking Universal belt, that's for sure. Really, any problems I have with this belt currently is not even the title's fault, or even Seth Rollins. In fact, I think Seth Rollins is helping make this title a big deal, and in turn has made Seth Rollins one of the bigger deals in the WWE. Really, the only problem with this belt is the fact Roman Reigns is (currently) holding both of the preceding World belts hostage. If the Universal title didn't exist, I would have no complaints, but it does and we have currently have three world titles at the moment, even with the Universal and WWE titles merged for the time being during Roman's reign. My hope after Wrestlemania XL is that the Universal title is retired, and we are back to the two world titles again. Asides from the current world title dilemma, it's been a pretty good run so far, and the match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre sounds damn good, with a ton of good potential storylines in the future. Certainly way better booking then we've seen recently."

[6.0] "Docking some points for it constantly being brought back for no good reason and dropping it on people who deserve way better. What's the luck that two of the most charismatic wrestlers of all time were given bad gimmicks and had to hold this title doing so? Neither Steve Austin or L.A. Knight deserved this title, as it almost immediately slowed down their trajectories in the WWE if things didn't change fast. Other than that, it was a fantastic gimmick for Ted DiBiase, and was great for storylines of it's time. I just think it should have been retired the moment Ted Dibiase was done with it. I guess you'll do whatever for that nostalgia pop."

[1.0] "1 point for R-Truth solely. This title is what happens when you take the old Hardcore Title, as well as the 24/7 rule that was imposed on it by Crash Holly, and then try to commercialize and mainstream it to the nth degree. It was a joke title that could be used for promotion of the WWE. Give it to Marshmello, or some sports commentator at Fox, or some other celebrity to get some more names on the promotion, and then easily change it to whoever is the main holder of the 24/7 title. That, and just how genuinely unfunny everything around the belt was, again asides from Truth trying his best. It's a total fucking bastardization of what made the Hardcore Title in the WWE good for a time, and a total disgrace to any other title that it is similar to. You can make a joke title like this work, see DDT, but if you don't have good booking behind it, a hint of good writing at all, or hell, just go fucking crazy with it. Instead, as mentioned, you made it into a promotional stunt with no comedic value. Oh, and the belt look fucking awful."

[8.0] "There are some bad booking decisions & genuinely bad reigns mixed into this lineage, but you look at the insane list of names who have held this, and remember some of the more notable reigns (the four longest in AJ's first, Shelley's, Roode's first, and Alexander's second alongside some of what Sting, Lashley, Angle, Galloway, Hardy, etc. did with it), this is still one of the most prestigious World Titles in western wrestling, and that has been held up beautifully in the 2020s despite some serious foibles in the past (even then one of those was more on Tessa than TNA/Impact since the angle that lead her to win the belt was perfectly sound and she just torpedoed her reputation herself). It's a shame that the lowest point in Jeff Hardy's career and one of the most embarrassing moments in TNA's history was in a match for this title, but that's one match."

[3.0] "Love the belt design and big fan of MLW but typical of an owner who isn't a fan of women's wrestling! Every match for the title has been under 10 times. The match just gets going and bam 123!"

[2.0] "A great example of the awful booking of 2010's WWE. Just a pointless title from the beginning. While it had some good ideas like Finn Balor winning the title (and unfortunately having to vacate it immediately), and people like Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins holding the title, it's mostly been awful. It has had the nasty habit of people holding the belt and almost never defending it for eons (see Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, though at least Roman's Reign has had a good storyline underneath it.), people who shouldn't be holding a "world" title at this point of their career (see Goldberg, and only Goldberg), and WWE digging themselves their own massive hole without any good way of climbing themselves out of it (see Bray Wyatt's title reign). At least now it has better booking behind it? But I feel like not even the current WWE likes this belt and are just finding some way to effectively retire it in the best way possible, as it has become absolutely forgotten about in it's combination with the WWE title and the introduction to the new Heavyweight title that is already miles better by design and booking alone with just it's first champion. Shameful red hot garbage."

[10.0] "Every championship has it's bad booking, not a single one is safe from that, and especially neither is the WWE Championship. From bland to straight up bad belt designs to some awful holders of the belt and poor booking that is the perfect representation of WWE at that time. That being said, the historical value and importance of this belt is what is going to keep this at a 10 at all times. It is the top belt in America, and it will be even when the AEW belt is on the same footing."

[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"

[4.0] "When it comes to "prestige" (notice how I used the word lightly), this title has none of that. But when it comes to entertainment and story segments, this title wasn't really all that bad. Of course the 24/7 title was always meant to be a toy for the lower mid-card to low card, but it delivered when it came to comedy as I was genuinely always intrigued to see what WWE would do with the title every week. Hell, I'd even say that this title (mainly R-Truth) carried Monday Night RAW along with Bray's Fiend character in 2019 (RAW was insanely bad during the late 2010s). R-Truth, as I said previously, was the best 24/7 champion and it's not even close, his comedy character meshed well with this title. Now that the title is inactive, I don't think I'd be much interested in seeing it again. Great entertainment but no value, brings it to a 4 in my opinion."

16:58 
[5.0] "A five-year-old title and all we have to say is that it has been underwhelming. Talented performers have held the title but couldn't elevate it to higher standards. Only a handful of matches fans would be quick to point out and introduce to newer fans. As of writing, the belt went to its all-time low in 2023 with some of the most questionable and lazy bookings you'd see. With incoming signings like Mercedes Mone, TK has taken the opportunity to try polishing his division."

[4.0] "This title was doomed from the very second they said go. The name of the title is stupid never really had good reigns always was dragging whoever had the title down no matter who it was. That was until roman got the title in his most recent run with it i dont think itll save the title tho i still think itll always be remember for everything it was before the tribal chief."
2209.03.2024
22:00 
[8.0] "Think this is one of the better titles with great runs by Rhodes, Lee, Miro and Cage. Early on this belt was a great title outside of the main event scene. It lost its value for a while but the reign of Christian Cage has redeemed the belt."
2308.03.2024
12:49 
[6.0] "Look, historically, they haven't been treated all that well. But I think the Kabuki Warriors will bring them to some kind of relevance in this reign. There's also a few credible tag teams in the division now (although a lot of them are kinda thrown together eg Stark/Baszler, Natalya/Nox)"

[10.0] "One of the most prestigous title in all of pro wrestling right now: the first three champions and title regins (Jericho, Moxley and Omega) were awesome, with lots of great matches and great storielynes bulit around that title. Page's title win at Full Gear is one of the best moments in AEW's history but his title reign was underwhelming altough he had classic matches against Danielaon and Cole. Punk and Moxley's title exchanges hurt the prestige of the title but since MJF has won it at Full Gear 2022 the title felt important once again with awesome matches and storylines. Currently Samoa Joe is having a really good title reign. Also from an aesthetic point of view the title is beautiful."

[7.0] "Up through Miro's run I would have easily given this an 8 at least, but ever since Sammy's run it's lost a lot of its prestige. I feel for Scorpio since he clearly wanted to have a more serious, competitive run with the title but with Guevara inserting himself into the scene despite dropping it twice it's turned into somewhat of a joke. Hopefully Sky can have a solid rest of his run until Wardlow inevitably takes and elevates the belt. UPDATE 4/3/23: Despite Wardlow taking the belt things have not gotten much better. Aside from Darby's excellent short run as an attempt to somewhat reboot the title, everything has felt anywhere from forgettable to shockingly poor, due in no part to the champions themselves. Guys like Joe and Wardlow should have been able to bring a sense of prestige back to the strap, yet it just felt like they were set up in a series of unexciting mid-card matches with one or two exceptions. Giving Wardlow a second run with the belt only to have him drop it 3 days later was also an unbelievably strange decision, although Hobbs is an excellent choice for champion and it can hopefully allow for Wardlow's eventual grudge match with him to make the title feel like it matters again. For now though, I'm dropping this from a 7 to a 5. UPDATE 3/7/24: Despite them dropping the ball HARD with Will Hobbs and Wardlow again, Christian has single-handedly washed the mud off the title with his impressive promo skills (to the point of getting a phrase like "Your father is dead" over), ability to carry himself simultaneously as a legitimately big deal and the single most punchable member of the AEW roster, and ring skills to back it all up. Matches like his fight with Darby at WrestleDream make the TNT look like something worth fighting over again, a far cry from how it was at this time last year. Hopefully it continues to"

[8.0] "Although it is still the most prestigious belt in wrestling, it has fallen greatly in the last two years. What was once a perfect title has been slightly tarnished by bad booking and an unfortunate chain of events. Things appear to be turning around with Samoa Joes reign and heading back toward the stability and importance the title used to have. An 8/10 belt that could one day be a 10/10 again."

[4.0] "When these titles were announced, I was honestly delighted. When Sasha and Bayley won them, I was even more excited. Unfortunately, these titles have very rarely been respected. Good teams have been disbanded, too often they've been given to two random superstars with no connection or history. Too many teams have never or almost never defended them. Aside from Asuka/Kairi, Sasha/Bayley, or more recently Damage Control, these titles were never glorious, and the teams that owned them were never able to really shine."

[7.0] "Loved what they've done with the title so far. Jordan Oliver had a very proud, fruitful reign that made him look like a world-beater at times and I'm sure Masha will make it feel even more prestigious, despite it being for GCW's B-promotion"

[] "In essence, the IOCW Championship is more than just a title; it's a symbol of excellence, a beacon of inspiration, and a testament to the enduring legacy of professional wrestling. As it continues to be defended and contested by the best and brightest in the industry, its legacy only grows stronger, cementing its place as one of the most prestigious championships in the world of sports entertainment."
3005.03.2024

[] "The AEW World Championship has been kept special and made to feel like a real prize since its inception. At the time of writing this, there have been ten reigns by seven different wrestlers. Each reign has had a unique feel to it and has been made to enhance the wrestler holding the title. Chris Jericho, for instance, was 'Le Champion', and wrestled a variety of people we'd never seen him against up to that point. Kenny Omega's reign as the 'belt collector' was extremely memorable and encapsulated by his eventual loss to former tag team partner Adam Page, who was cemented as one of the top acts of the company when he won the title. Page would go on to have classic matches against Bryan Danielson and CM Punk. There's never been a moment where the title has felt like a prop. Even outside the realm of the television show, fans give credence to the importance of the title, understanding if an up-and-coming star were to win it, it would change their life and career entirely. I'm not sure a World Championship has had that kind of feel to it since at least the early 2000s, if not long before that."

[] "Great looking belt, love the white strap and the plates with splashes of color. As far as I know, the gimmick of this belt is that only wrestlers who reside in British Columbia can challenge for it, but it can be defended in other promotions. Great idea, gives it kind of a territory feel."
3203.03.2024
04:51 
[4.0] "The main problem with this belt was that the women roster on FULL was usually only one champion and nothing more, needing female wrestler from outside on important shows, but most of the reigns the belt went undefended for several months, eventually the belt was retired and changed into a hardcore belt, since then the title has been barely defended and is mostly forgotten from the usual shows."

[2.0] "Worst title in AEW rn, seriously what is the point rn ? The point at first was to have some trios out of the tag team division but now every team is interchangeable, I don't get how this is different to the tag division. It's poorly booked and sadly it's since the House of Black reign. Sad to see all those talents stuck in this senseless division."

[3.0] "The worst World women's title of any major promotion in the world. Bad booking, poor matches and seriously Stop, Shida, Hayter and Rosa are AWESOME wrestlers but they couldn't elevate this title, this is a prop and only a reason to force TK to give women a PPV match otherwise we know he wouldn't even try. With the direction it seems to go, I guess they could have a brillant division in a few years, but rn it's sad and tbh VERY deceptive to see women treated this way"

[8.0] "Although there have been some weak runs, the AEW World Tag Team Championship has gifted the wrestling world with some of the greatest tag team matches of all time. Young Bucks vs. Hangman/Omega, FTR vs. BC Gold, Acclaimed vs. Swerve in Our Glory, ReDragon vs. Jungle Express vs. Young Bucks, and on an on. Even in weak runs like FTR's latest run there are still and handful of really special matches. It's the title that represents what I believe is the greatest tag team division in wrestling's history. As of now, I'd say it's an 8 and it is the most prestigious tag title in wrestling today."

[6.0] "WELP. Started out the best way possible with ZSJ as the first champion and giving him a solid, long reign with a time limit stipulation that suited him well. The loss to Tanahashi was a head scratcher that immediately tanked the belt's prestige for me given the quality of that particular match as a title changer, and that Tana's lone successful defense was comedy shlock. Why is this not being used for the younger guys?"

[5.0] "Oh look, it's another episode of "New Japan creates a belt with a clear purpose and then instantly forgets about it" ! This one was supposed to be defended in smaller town during the tours, was also supposed to be centered around the younger generation of wrestlers. The age of the first 3 champions: 36, 47 and 38. Zack Sabre Jr. as first champion wasn't that bad of a choice anyway because at least it was his first singles title in New Japan and the 15 minutes time limit fits him well (and that time limit is the only thing that makes this title stand out right now). As for the "defending the title in smaller towns" part...well, it never happened. Zack had A LOT of title defenses, none in smaller towns, sadly a lot of them felt pretty meaningless when the NJPW WORLD TV Championship was defended in ROH or AEW against worthless jobbers that most New Japan fans don't even know and won't even watch. It inflated the defense record a lot, and in Japan what is most important about a reign is the number of successful title defenses. Zack had 16 successful defenses, that's a lot, that's way too much for a first reign and it gives almost no chance for anyone to beat that record. Which in a way feels pretty lame since it's the first reign. Having these useless filler title defenses in shows that most New Japan fans don't watch didn't help at all and as a result it's difficult to see how that title can gain much value. Still it had some great title matches like Zack's defenses against Ishii, Shota or Cobb. Tanahashi didn't do much with it, lost it after one successful defense and now Matt Riddle, a wrestler not signed with New Japan, has the belt. It's difficult to see what the purpose of this title is supposed to be right now. At the same time I like the 15 minutes time limit, but with everything I've said about the actual booking of the belt, I can't rate it above 5, even if it can give some good matches here and there, it feels too directionless."

[7.0] "I get that the NXT Championship was this symbol of change from within for WWE, but that change has been snuffed out, and the title lost its way well before the 2.0 era even began. The "FCW with better production value" era of Seth/Big E/Bo was totally fine as a purely developmental title; Big E's 5-count and Bo's gradual heel turn were super underrated angles. Neville's reign was by far the best in the title's history, making it look important week after week and delivering in every single defense. Zayn & Owens had weaker reigns but managed to make the title feel even more important to hold. From Balor's first reign on though, the problem sinks in: the NXT Title has now become a championship that well-known outside talent comes in and challenges for and then usually wins to defend against other well-known veteran talent. Actual developing male talent is mostly kept to the Tag Division from then on, even when the NA & Cruiserweight Titles come into the picture. Good matches occurred in that stretch from Balor through Ciampa, sure, but it really lost its luster. Then came the era of NXT trying to go for "epics" that baited star ratings and MOTY honors with guys like Gargano & Cole, and while I might be in the minority here, fuck I hate that. Matches that go long just to be long, matches that have a bunch of moves just to look cool without playing the face vs heel thing nearly at all; there's a limit I have for both of those things but together I don't even want to bother. From Kross winning the title on it's basically been a joke too, with two instances of it being vacated and nobody new winning a title that was designed for talent learning the WWE style and coming up to the main roster. Just give the Steiner kid the title and let it be proper developmental again, don't even try to cling to the previous era, and this title will go back to being decent. EDIT: Carmelo & Dragunov have brought this belt's quality in terms of both matches & character back up without needing to go full developmental again, so I'm giving it another point. If they can stick the landing on Ilja's reign and get another couple good ones in the books (Trick & Dijak perhaps), then I might go higher."

[7.0] "I have mixed feeling about this title because I really thnik it had a huge potential. Howewer, it exists for nearly 5 years and the only memorable reigns were Kabuki Warriors, Sasha and Bayley and Shayna and Nia. I think Piper and Chelsea were also kinda entertaining. I hope that WWE will start treating this championship seriously by giving it regular PPV defences. I believe KCKC, aka Katana and Kayden will have a good reign with PPV matches."

[4.0] "Not a bad title, but definitely not the best AEW championship (and certainly isn't near the top either). The storylines with the belt have never been "stellar" or "amazing" either. You got your hard hitting champions in Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter, those are my top 3 ranked champions as they have carried this belt for the most part. Unfortunately, some flip flopping title reigns and making Saraya (a contender for the WORST and LEAST deserving world champion of the 2020s so far, despite having *some* name value and recognition) champion hurt this belt more than it was "supposed" to help it. Hopefully AEW doesn't make the same mistakes by flip flopping the belt and giving undeserving wrestlers title reigns with this belt. You got a very talented women's division that can use some contenders with this belt, I can see the likes of Deonna Purrazzo, Kris Statlander, and maybe even Emi Sakura holding this belt in the future, those women I just named would probably be better for this belt rather than the TBS title contention scene."

[3.0] "Is this a cursed title? Or was it doomed from the start? Any explanation for why this title is utter dogcrap isn't exactly conspicuous, but is understating how really bad this title truly is. The history of this title is cursed to say the least. Finn Balor got injured in the match he won the title in, Kevin Owens was treated like an absolute joke of a heel champion, Goldberg decided to politic his way to holding the title for a few days (HE DID IT TWICE by the way) just to drop it to Brock Lesnar who had a lackluster part-time reign as champion. I could go on and on about how this title is one of the worst in WWE history, but it wouldn't be worth my time. It's hard to say, but Roman's current title reign, which has gone on for a very long time, might be the best reign of this title. Soon, this title won't active anymore because it is merged with the WWE Championship, thankfully we won't have to hear about this title in a few years or *hopefully* months, but it will remain with a stained legacy due to horrible booking and worthless reigns."

[10.0] "I absolutely loved having the Diva's Championship. It had a great design that played more into the feminine aspect of wrestling which was super cool. It's frustrating that people don't like it because it looks like a butterfly. I know that this time for Divas was not the best, but the title was still amazing. AJ Lee was the one to revolutionize this belt and made it feel like it was worth a million bucks. I feel like it looks very different from any other title we have had for men or women. It's disappointing that people don't like it just because it is pink. I would love to have another title like this in the future, but we will have to see what happens. I do understand that they needed to get rid of it to make room for the new era, but it was still a great belt of the past."

[7.0] "Obviously has a huge storied lineage but god has it had some stinkers, especially over the past few years (pre-Roman too). Having a main title only defended 3-4 times a year for numerous years makes it an afterthought, at least for me. Excited to see what direction it goes in once Cody (hopefully) takes it away from Roman"

[3.0] "Well this is a title that I didn't even know EPW even had, as I've never actually seen it at shows I've attended, but having watched back some events featuring this title, it definitely does exist and looks pretty nice from what I could just about see of it. Guess in some ways it does make sense in creating this championship, as EPW often do feature hardcore matches, although they don't have all that many hardcore wrestlers. This title definitely feels like Davey Blaine's title, as he's been busting his ass in hardcore matches for years. Tokyo Joe also is good in these matches and more often than not is the one taking thumbtack bumps. Don't know who else could be future holders, or even if the title is still being defended, as it's been awhile since the last defence (definitely isn't 24/7 despite what the name says! ). From the matches I have seen, they are pretty fun but amazingly repetitive, using featuring a corner ladder spot and almost always ending in a thumbtack bump. There's definitely some value for enjoyment of the matches and actual champion continuity - something which EPW sorely lacks."

[10.0] "With Gunther's historic reign exceedings expectations, I must re-rate the belt to a 10. Triple H really revitalized the Intercontinental title and gave it a new meaning after it became something of a filler in Vince's last years as the head honcho of WWE. Gunther made this belt feel like it was a world title or something."

[10.0] "Despite some dud reigns in the modern era, the WWE Championship is undisputably the most prestigious professional wrestling championship ever. It was held by numerous legends like John Cena, Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, the list goes on. It's a bit of a shame that there some title reigns in its history that really disappointed a lot which could've costed its prestige. Nonetheless, its a huge prize that many current and aspiring wrestlers around the world want to win someday."

[0.0] "Whiled the existence of this title is justified as Roman Reigns had effectively become a part-timer, along with leaving RAW with no World Championship, this title has failed on every level. Seth Rollins is no doubt a good wrestler, but he, the only champion, has been the victim of the fact that RAW has a terrible men's division with few credible competitors, with Gunther still being the Intercontinental Champion. Despite the lack of competition, it could still be an okay title; Rollins vs. AJ Styles for the first title holder was a solid match and Rollins is a good champion, but the reason why I give it 0/10 is because it is constantly undermined. It is reminded that the title only exists because nobody can beat Roman Reigns, and the Wrestlemania press conference made the title, and Seth Rollins, look idiotic. Because of this jarring saga surrounding the WWE title leading up to Wrestlemania 40, as of 10/02/2024 (DD/MM/YYYY), there is no clear title match going into its first Wrestlemania, although this is understandable as Punk was injured. Overall, this title has, thus far, failed at any attempt of gaining credibility."

[] "Since I can't leave a rating at this moment (and understandably and rightfully so), here's all I'll say about the newly rechristened IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship, formerly known as the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship as well as the IWGP United Kingdom Heavyweight Championship. I really want to give this title belt a chance, I really do, and I love that David Finlay is the champion, but clearly New Japan Pro Wrestling did not think things through when they came up with the name of this championship. Because keep in mind, NJPW's top prize is called the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, yet their midcard title is now known as the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. That is one of the worst oxymorons in professional wrestling if not THE worst I've ever heard. Both those championship belts by definition of their titles (meaning what they're called), world and global, they mean the same thing! So NJPW pretty much has 2 world heavyweight titles by definition, and treat one of them like their upper midcard title. It makes no sense to me."

[10.0] "This title was created so that there would be any championship, not for Roman to have it and others suffer for it, so this title gets a 10 from me, now there is a storm, but I would like someone else to be the champion than Seth Rollins, but this title is still great"

[5.0] "A consolation prize created specifically to try and circumvent the booking purgatory of Roman's endless title reign deadlocking the momentum of the entire upper card. This title willnbe just as desirable! they said. It's not a second place trophy, honest! And then despite Seth's best effort, Roman and company and this absurd clusterfuck surrounding 2024 Wrestlemania has well and truly buried this loser bracket title. What a waste of time."

The only interesting champions I can imagine atm are BCC and even then theres not exactly a wide selection of trios to face. This championship could disappear and I wouldn't notice or care. The match quality here fell off the second the elite/death triangle feud ended. The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn have unfortunately not improved these belts standing. AEW has a weak trios division and most of the title defences are against jobbers or trios that are thrown together."

[5.0] "These titles used to mean something, but since Jurassic Express won these belts last year they've truly been on the decline. They picked up again with popular champions The Acclaimed, but once again they have fallen off and been awarded to undeserving champions in the Gunn Club. The fatal 4 way at Revolution shows how much they have fallen off with challengers like Danhausen and Orange Cassidy. - this belt has only got less important, FTR have cooled off a lot since last summer when they over and they had a poor choice of opponents for their first PPV defence Update FTR have somewhat redeemed these belts again, but they have their limits. I have enjoyed most of what they've done so far, but they've lacked good storylines."

[6.0] "An interesting history with some very good and very bad runs. This belt was in a bit of a free fall until Rhea got it and she's definitely raised its value by the belt just being associated with her, now if she actually defended it regularly and had great fueds this belt would definitely get a higher rating."

That being said, the way it's handled today is just so poor, the fact Billy Corgan is in charge of its booking is just sad. We seriously went from Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and Terry Funk to Tyrus and EC3. Unless Corgan gets out of the NWA, this belt may never see the prestige it got back in the glory days."

[5.0] "While Seth did a solid job trying to make this title entertaining in the ring, frequent defenses stopped helping it acquire prestige once it became apparent about halfway through his reign that's he's just not losing it anytime soon. I'd argue it made it worse, and have some anecdotal evidence for that - my wife, whose casually tuning in to what I'm watching or talking about, when informed of Cody giving up Roman to make way for the Rock at Wrestlemania, asked me "So what's Cody going to do at WM? Fight Seth for the TV title? " and that felt very accurate to me. Giving it 5/10 for now since the matches are pretty good. I'll revise it up if WWE manages to make it feel prestigious."

[10.0] "It may have had a short lifespan, with only almost 5 years of existence, 4 champions, and 5 reigns, but the matches fought over it are the stuff of legend. Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne II, Pete Dunne vs WALTER, WALTER vs Tyler Bate, WALTER vs Ilja Dragunov I and II, Tyler Bate vs Trent Seven. Everyone who wore it felt like a star, and the belt looked gorgeous."

[1.0] "A completely unnecessary title that only exists because Cody Rhodes didn't go over at WrestleMania 39 and WWE had to scramble to make NBC Universal happy. And I wanted to give Seth Rollins a chance, I really did. The man goes above and beyond for the company and it's nice to see him rewarded. But then the problems started to seep in. Seth's nagging injuries were becoming too big to ignore. They had a chance to put the strap on Nakamura, but Triple H's aversion to title changes meant that went nowhere. And then there was the Jinder Mahal match, where Triple H gave into the meme and all he got out of it was Seth blowing his knee out and giving Elimination Chamber no male singles title match to work with. And then then there was THAT promo. Before Rocky came out with his shovel, Roman told the world that this belt was "the loser bracket title" for "the number twos" in the company. And the worst part about that? He wasn't exactly wrong. WWE have shown time and time again that they're unable to properly spin two world championship plates, with the original WHC eventually becoming an upper mid-card title, the Universal being utterly cursed in every way until Brock took it to FOX, and the World Championship on USA ending up a trinket to hot potato because Brock (and now Roman) don't like to show up for work. Do us all a favour and unify the title again, and write this off as just an aberration."

[6.0] "[6.0] Honestly, this title could be something if NJPW put some effort into it. Thing is though it's always changing hands. There have been exactly 3 reigns where the champion retained the belt 4 times and two of those were in the first two years of the belt's existence. Out of the 42 reigns in this title's existence, over a third ended without a successful defense 16 out of 42 specifically (I won't count Makabe having to vacate it.) 3 Reigns cleared 200 days and the longest reign was the first one and another only made it that long because of the hiatus from the pandemic in 2020. Most of the reigns in the title's lineage are lucky to hit even the 4 month mark. I really hoped that if the IC belt was going to be vacated that at least it would maybe elevate the Openweight Belt up a bit, but unlike it's brother US Title, now the Global Championship, which got elevated a bit more thanks to people like Tana and Ospreay holding it, this one has remained stagnant. I really don't have an issue with the matches themselves and every title inevitably will have it's share of questionable champions given enough time. My issue is purely on the fact that New Japan just doesn't seem to value this championship with how it's booked. There are a couple people you can associate with the belt I guess like Goto, Ishii, Shingo Takagi, but no one has really had that long, defense filled reign to make it feel important in years. I don't know, I guess I just thought by now we would've gotten something better out of this belt and nothing seems to have changed."

23:07 
[10.0] "The only time this belt has felt diminished was when CM Punk couldn't stop injuring himself. Otherwise, the AEW World Championship has been a rare of symbol of patient and methodical booking in the company. As the result of each reign being lengthy enough, title matches have usually felt like a big deal and title changes have felt like the end of one era and the start of another. Samoa Joe as champion does nothing but add further shine to the belt as something to be taken seriously. Looking forward to seeing where they go next and who the next champion might be."

[8.0] "It is better than the Raw tag titles not like that means much but the Smackdown tag titles are the titles that have had the good-incredibly title reigns from The Wyatt Family, The New Day, and especially The Usos with their amazing 622 day title reign which made them the longest reigning tag champs in WWE."

[3.0] "Despite R-Truths best efforts, this is a completely pointless boring title with zero prestige, it was effectively a toy for the lower card to play with.

12:37 
[9.0] "Undeniably one of the biggest prizes in Wrestling this belt has had its ups and downs but its prestige has remained high and rarely lost its gleam. I am not a huge fan of the current belts design due to WWEs insistence to brand most of their belts with a huge "W." Despite my dislike of the current design that does not really hurt its prestige."

[10.0] "this title is one of the most prestigious titles ever made in wrestling history. The guys that have held and made this title what it is today are amazing and Gunther now being the longest champion and the longest champion combined out of anybody is unreal and I give credit to him for saving this title cause before him this title was a becoming a joke and now he makes it look like a world championship the way his defenses are being presented. 10"
8530.01.2024
02:02 
[1.0] "I don't mind the title design, my issue lies with how it's been booked. First off giving Finn the belt was an amazing idea, sadly he was immediately injured, which led to Kevin Owens, another good pick. After two amazing wrestlers at their peak got their hands on the belt, WWE decided to then give it to Goldberg. What? Then Brock Lesnar, which credit where credit is due, Brock isn't a bad wrestler, just a lazy one, he barely showed up for his incredibly long reign. I guess WWE didn't learn their lesson because now they have Roman doing the same thing but the reign is 2x LONGER. Now the Universal Championship doesn't really exist because Roman just carries around one "Undisputed" Championship, and WWE introduced another world title since Roman barely wrestles anyway. This is genuinely really embarrassing."

[4.0] "This title has been a mixed bag for me, as there are wrestlers that I'm a fan of that held this title, and there's been some really weak champions.

There was also that wild incident with Rey Fenix and Jon Moxley. I'm not against comedy in wrestling, but Orange Cassidy is really lame. I don't even get the point of this title, as the name suggests that it should be AEW's secondary or midcard title, but its standing is below the TNT Championship, or at least I think it's supposed to be that way."

[4.0] "This title has been disappointing in its short lifespan so far, with strange teams holding it like Swerve In Our Glory or Big Bill & Ricky Starks. As much as people loved them The Acclaimed and The Gunns were not ready to lead a division in a national promotion. What The Young Bucks did on the indies failed to translate on a large stage as well. Plus FTR's reigns were also very disappointing. I don't think anyone had a really good reign with the title, and all we got were some great matches here and there."

[5.0] "I don't think in the few years this title has existed that the linage is that strong, with Page being the worst world champions since Jinder Mahal. There was also the strange situation with Punk, which put a damper on a whole lot of things happening with AEW. MJF is a great wrestler, but I felt like his reign was really brought down by him having to defend The ROH Tag Team Championship on the same nights he was defending The World Title. I don't think Moxley or Omega were great champions either. We'll see about Joe, but honestly Chris Jericho is the only wrestler who had a great title reign, and it brought a lot of promise to the title in its inception."

04:42 
[3.0] "This title made sense when Taz introduced in ECW, because Shane Douglas was dogging him so Taz had his own fake world title. I never got the point of AEW's version of it, other than Tony Khan loves titles and belts. It's hardly defended as is, by people who are active on the roster."

[8.0] "For nearly 50 years The NWA World Heavyweight Championship was arguably the top title in pro wrestling, with several decades there would have been no argument against that. But it's impossible to ignore the poor state The NWA has been in since WCW left the alliance and Shane Dougals threw down the belt. We may never see a return to its glory days, or even as a top title in the 2nd top promotion like it was in TNA."
9329.01.2024

04:15 
[3.0] "For most of this title's life I didn't understand the need for it, other than when it was created TNA was signing a bunch of old wrestlers that were Hulk Hogan's friends or were stars back in the Attitude Era. It also understood when it was The Television Title, giving bigger guys like Devon who didn't belong in the X-Division a championship opportunity. Even then it wasn't booked well, with the title supposably to be defended every week, to disappearing all together before being dropped. I didn't like The King of The Mountain concept either."

[6.0] "Just like with anything in TNA there were great moments when it come to their Knockouts Division, and there were some really strange missteps.

9629.01.2024
04:06 
[6.0] "At times I think the tag team titles were booked strong than TNA's World Champion, but as always with this promotion there were some strange decisions and weak champions. Beer Money and The Motor City Machine Guns felt like they were going to take the title to another level, but in typical TNA fashion it was fumbled."
9729.01.2024
03:56 
[6.0] "The X-Division really brought in a lot of the modern style we see in wrestling today, however you may feel about that. I don't think the booking around the title was always strong, with the peak being when AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe were feuding over it. There were plenty of weak and weird champions who didn't fit what the X-Division was about."
9829.01.2024
03:51 
[6.0] "There's been great wrestlers who have held this title, and some with great reigns as well.
