Triple Crown Championship

[10.0] "Far and away the best belt in wrestling, in terms of prestige and legacy. The Triple Crown has produced some of the greatest matches and moments the sport hae to offer, to this day it offers a showcase at some very exceptional talent. As drained as AJPWhas ever been, they've always treated this belt with the utmost respect and kept its honor intact. The greatest belt in the sport."

[10.0] "The greatest championship in pro wrestling history. Three belts with rich histories (NWA United National, NWA International Heavyweight and, the PWF Heavyweight belts) unified into one, genius idea to instantly give respectability to the belt. And the list of champions is insane; Misawa, Tsuruta, Tenryu, Kawada, Kobashi, Keiji Muto, Stan Hansen and so on. I've watched a lot of Triple Crown title matches and I've never seen a truly bad Triple Crown match. My average rating for a 90s triple crown match is 8/10, which is much higher than anything WCW, WWF, NJPW or anyone else was doing at the time. Even now, the belt still has some great matches for it. A lineage that can be traced back to Lou Thesz and Rikidozan, truly the greatest belt in pro wrestling. Its been through tough times but its still the GOAT belt."

[10.0] "The AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship is, simply put, one of the most sacred titles in the history of professional wrestling. While its current prestige has undeniably waned in the modern landscape, the weight of its legacy remains undeniable. This is the title forged and elevated by the Four Pillars of Heaven--Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi, and Taue--men who didn't just wrestle for this belt, they bled for it. They turned every title match into a war, and every reign into a chapter of something mythic. During the golden age of All Japan in the '90s, this championship represented the pinnacle of in-ring excellence. Period. No gimmicks. No sports entertainment fluff. Just hard-hitting, emotional, brutally disciplined pro wrestling. Every time Misawa lifted this belt, every time Kobashi collapsed to his knees holding it, every time Kawada broke his body in pursuit of it--it meant something. That matters. Even now, decades later, the aura of those moments lives on. The belt could be on a lesser stage today, but it only takes one glance at its history to understand its greatness. The design, the lineage, the violence it demanded of its champions--all of it makes this the second greatest belt in wrestling history in my eyes, just behind the original IWGP Heavyweight Championship. But still, it earns a perfect 10.0 without hesitation, because titles aren't judged only by the present--they're judged by the men who carried them and the epics they left behind."

[9.0] "The gold standard of professional wrestling titles, rarely has there been a champion who didn't deserve this belt."

[10.0] "Perhaps the single most prestigious and consistently treated championship in all of wrestling history. This is a title that geniunly feels like an honor to hold, which isn't exactly something you can say about many other titles in wrestling. It is so important and historic in the greatest way possible while every single title match feels important and like a real battle."

[9.0] "One of the best booked titles anywhere in the world up until the early 2000s. With the turmoil of the 2000s and most of the stars heading to NOAH, the quality of the booking and prestige of the title took a huge hit and spiraled downwards with AJPW losing prominence. The last couple of years, from what I've seen, have been good though, and things seem to be back on the right track. One the most aesthetically pleasing belts throughout its history. When it was the three belts all together representing the championship it made the guy holding it look like a total badass. All in all of the best titles in the history of pro wrestling, and I hope someday it regains its spot as the most coveted prize in Japanese pro wrestling."

[10.0] "The Triple Crown's design is one of my personal favorites. It was so incredibly unique back then, with it being represented by the three belts, as well as the big fucking trophy (God, AJPW really loved its trophies). The new belt also looks genuinely beautiful, and an underrated design for sure when it comes to belts in Japan. What gives this belt a high score is it's legacy. Some of the best wrestlers of all time held the Triple Crown. Jumbo Tsuruta, Tenryu, the Four Pillars of Heaven, Vader, Keiji Muto, Jun Akiyama, Kensuke, so on and so forth. The list just goes on. It dipped after the NOAH exodus, but it seems to have at least finally gotten back to being a really well booked belt. Historical, beautiful, worth fighting for. A classic world championship."

[9.0] "one of my favorite titles ever it has a good legacy and the three belts at once is cool it may not be like it was but its still great and defiantly worth winning as a wrestler"

[8.0] "Once one of the most prestigious title in wrestling, however, its history in the 2000s and 2010s will forever be a horrendous mark on its lineage. The never-ending reigns of Suwama and WTF were they thinking with that Akebono win. Other than that though, it has some of the best matches under it than any other title."

[8.0] "Once upon a time, this felt like the most prestigious championship in the world. It's sad to see how the title aged after the NOAH exodus. I wish that the prominence and prestigiousness that the Triple Crown once had during it's peak would come back, but that is a very small glimmer of hope."

[10.0] "One of the greatest championships in pro wrestling history, made up of three belts, all revered in the history of Japanese wrestling. This culminates in one of the most important, well booked, and respected titles ever... essentially up until the late 00s I reckon. AJPW was already a weakened promotion after the exodus in 2000, but the likes of Muto, Kojima, Kawada and Tenryu really helped keep the top of the card alive. Of course, the peak of the title is in it's first decade of usage, as it might have been the best lineage of world champions in any promotion's history. Despite All Japan being a shell of its former self, the history of the title is too strong to warrant anything less than a 10."

[10.0] "Despite where AJPW might be these days this is still one of the greatest belts of all time with some of the best matches of all time"

[10.0] "One of the greatest World Championships in wrestling history, great names held the title like Misawa, Kobashi, Taue, Kawada, Mutoh, Akiyama, Kojima, Miyahara and many more"

[10.0] "Legendary championship in Puroresu, it was held by gods of wrestling like Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada, Stan Hansen, Steve Williams, Keiji Mutoh and etc. In recent times, it still is a great championship with a good reputation, in fact, the current reign of Kento Miyahara is the best one of all titles in 2019."

[9.0] "One of the most prestigious titles in the history of pro wrestling, held by many legends at their peak. Unfortunately... All Japan isn't what it was, since a long time now, and even if Kento Miyahara is a good champion he can't elevate the title anymore because of the poor state of the company."

[10.0] "Kento's current championship reign is amazing, and the history of the title is just amazing, so happy to see the Triplecrown slowly but surely reach it's former glory."

[7.0] "This belt had a lot of prestige at one point but the value of the title has dropped and feels dwarfed in comparison to NJPW. At one point this meant more than the NJPW title but now it doesn't really spring your name forward in todays industry due to the declining value of the company and matches. Still, it's the top title of a company that can get you to other places in Japan."

[10.0] "Wow, the '90's 'best' title, with the best matches. Throughout the '00's it has been good, some great till good matches and some deserving champion. But since Akebono's first title reign it has been crap!"

[10.0] "Maybe today this titles is not one of the top but for old Puroresu fan's this title is something very important. I saw many matches with Kobashi, Misawa and other Puroesu's legend's so in my opinion this was the best booked titles in wrestling history. Current champions - Go Shiozaki - is very good choice for champion and I have hope, are one day this title has back on the top wrestling world."

"In 25 years there has never been a truly weak champion, and no ridiculous stipulation matches (Triple Threats and the like). Sure it has had the odd challengers like Barry Windham, Scott Hall and Mick Foley, but the champions have always carried the essence of representing All Japan Pro Wrestling when they defend. The change from the three historic belts, while understandable as they were becoming worn, has dented some of the lustre the prize used to have. Still a solid title worthy of having and its holders have always considered it to be a valuable prize (unlike the IWGP belt which had been split thanks to Inoki's antics and the ridiculous Triple Threat bouts in ROH)."

[10.0] "1 of the most prestigious heavyweight championships in the history of wrestling, and by far 1 of the best booked. While it had the occasional unlikely champion, practically everyone who held this belt, Japanese or gaijin, was officially "The Man" when he had it, and still "The Man" after it."

[10.0] "Probably, the most respected and better booked titles ever."
