The title could have been booked way better but thatr aside, this is one of the most beautiful belts ever made."

[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."
DEADLOCK66 wrote on 21.09.2023:
[2.0] "Amazing-looking straps and plates. Look at the belt alone. The rating would be a 9 out of 10. But the terrible name and more name changes than Baron Corbin in WWE. The only time the belt felt like a potential success was as the TV title. If they just made it a TV title from the beginning, the company could have had a legit secondary title. Because we know they didn't have any respect for the x division for many years. For a few years, X Div was treated only slightly better than WWE cruiserweight in the early to mid-2000s. Aj Styles and Doug Williams were the highlights of this belt for me. Global and Legends is a mess of a belt. They should've scrapped it after Legends or made it directly to a TV title. There is a wasted potential for a fantastic look and concept of an idea, but that can be said about TNA in general during those years."

[1.0] "Constant renaming of the title and the lack of star power holding it made the title seem irrelevant. Even stars like Styles and Samoa Joe did not make the title relevant. Mostly held by legends who wanted one more title run but could not convince management they were world title material"

[5.0] "I've never seen a title get renamed so many times it's embarrassing to think about. Luckily the belt had a lot of great matches and was in important storylines with main event talent like AJ Styles and Kevin Nash. Not a fan of the red leather but the plates themselves are beautiful works of art."

[3.0] "A title that started with a lot of promise but quickly fell off the cliff. TNA/IMPACT have where never able to make the title feel prestigious or it was something we should care about as fans. It's best run came during its period as the Television Championship, when it was a belt for the guys who did not fit into the world title picture or the x-division see Rob Terry or Brother Devon. However, only having two hours of tv each week made it difficult to feature and Xpolosion was never used to its full potential to tackle this problem. Its return as the King of the Mountain title tarnished any credit the title had."

[7.0] "I have nostalgia for a secondary title, apart from the (X) Division on the Impact roster, if booked better this could be the choice."
medouse wrote on 19.05.2021:
[4.0] "Cool belt with a very interesting concept. Every title match had a unique rules, with belt hanging over the ring, ladders and chambers for a guy who got pinned or submitted. Even though, many guys who took part in this competition are great and skilled wrestlers, their matches usually were bad. I think, if the booking was good, this title could be an alternative for X-Division title. If you don't have a chance in X-Division, try you luck in King Of The Mountain."

[5.0] "Oooh what a mess this title was, almost as many name changes as the promotion itself. *Legends title* Basically Booker's vanity title (in storyline that is, I doubt he really likes this title that much) didn't like the idea or name, as TNA was still quite new and had very little "Legends. " *Global title* Silly and comedic, lost a lot of credibility during this phase. *TV Title* Okay... this I liked! have always had a fondness for TV titles, and Hulk Hogan's (storyline) idea of weekly defences kinda excited me. But they could only keep it up for a few weeks for whatever reason. *KOTM title* Started off as just another title for Jeff Jarrett to win in his own match type. But I actually liked this idea also, as I enjoy KOTM matches, but having one every week or so never would have worked, so it just became another regular singles title again. Despite all this, I always kinda liked this uh... strap. The design itself was nice, and it actually had some credible champions at various points. Wish Impact would bring something similar to another TV title back, I kinda think they need another secondary singles championship again."

[4.0] "Just an all around weird championship title with an all around weird history. But I can't deny that most of the storylines I've seen it in haven't been at least sort of entertaining."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 29.03.2019:
[3.0] "What a weird history this belt had, beginning as Booker T's vanity belt that ended up becoming sanctioned, then becoming a sometimes poorly-defined second-tier championship and eventually ending up becoming Jeff Jarrett's vanity belt before going back into circulation yet again. And along the way, it had no less than four completely different names (Legends, Global, Television and King of the Mountain) and it existence was interspersed with several long periods of inactivity. Its best period, no doubt, was its time under the "Television Title" moniker, if for no other reason than that was when the belt's purpose was most clear, and Devon did have a good run with it as a babyface champion that built up some prestige for the belt, until it fell by the wayside again with Devon's joining Aces & Eights. Ultimately it was finally laid to rest in 2016 in favor of the new Impact Grand Championship, and I doubt the Belt of Many Names will be missed by many."

Mizzle Assault Ant wrote on 14.05.2016:
[8.0] "Honestly I have never seen any indication that this belt is supposed to be in the same lineage as past TNA midcard titles, so I'm just going to ignore that. Looking at just the KOTM title I think this is a good belt, it has had several quality champions and title matches, and provides a solid prize for those just outside the world title scene but who is not a good fit for the X Division."
Rangozz wrote on 10.01.2016:
[10.0] "I think the KOTM title actually is off to a good start. It's nowhere near a bottom barrel anymore. Especially when you have people like Eric Young and Bobby Roode with their fingerprints over it. I, think you have to keep in mind that it takes time to build up certain individuals and in this case it's a nice way to have a Midcard belt. Well, something Non X-Division guys with great ability and resolve can claim Championship Gold. So, I suggest you sit back and go by the talent now. And, since it's been reactivated I'm enjoying it."

[8.0] "unsure about the name King of the mountain championship but the champions that have held it have made it a better title than what it was with guys like Roode and now Eric Young holding it, the titles prestige will improve."

[7.0] "The booking on this title has been the god damn craziest in wrestling history. I don't think that's an exaggeration... is it one title? Is it four titles? Insane. But I still think it deserves a little better than 2. 88/10. A lot of good wrestlers have held this title and a lot of good wrestlers have challenged for it and failed to capture it. The fact that it was introduced out of nowhere, has fallen into retirement on two occasions and been vacated like it was nothing, it doesn't take away from the fact that AJ Styles, Doug Williams, Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe have held this title."
Evan Callaway wrote on 03.09.2015:
[8.0] "I really like this new idea behind the new King of the Mountain Championship. I just hope we can see this belt to be defended all around the world as a real World Championship. We already have this partnership between TNA and GFW and since Global Force also have their work relationship with NJPW, AAA, and other great companies, I think this can happen."

[2.0] "Don't know what TNA thinking with this Title Firstly, they named it Legends title then after changed it into global then into Television and then they vacated it but after short period of time it comes back and named TNA King of Mountain title..... I will give it 1 for it because of the title time as Legends Championship and 1 more because the wrestlers hold the title are very good and talented like Aj Styles Abyss, Booker T, PJ Black and more."
