[9.0] "One of the most one sided matches or probably the most one sided macth ever, it was as realistic as that would happen in a shoot only difference being it would be over in 30 seconds , this to me was a classic I loved Brock lesner brutalising John cena with suplex after suplex this was the birth of suplex city, I love John cena but this was booked perfectly as lesner had just at mania broken undertakers streak leading to a hot run for Brock lesner into 2015"

[9.0] "The ultimate workers title. Back in the day holding this belt was a sure fire signal you were destined for the big one in the near future. Unfortunately later years have somewhat demoted its status but this seems to be changing now with Gunther wearing it round his waist."

[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"

[] "A prestigious title that continues to improve as each day rolls by. Some sloppy reigns but overall, one of the better titles WWE have introduced to the audience. 9/10"

[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."

[6.0] "For a long while this was the Jade belt with her 500+ day reign possibly being a little too long. Match quality of these defenses variies greatly with some being very good and others being hard to watch."

[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."

[7.0] "It is TNA so you get some gold, some utterly awfulness and some moments when it is little more of a shoulder shrug either way. They have done some good work recently rehabbing the belt and making it feel important."

[5.0] "The concept of the belt is very good, the problem being is that it came into existence a few years too late initially and just not relevant in the modern indie wrestling scene. It has fallen off a cliff in recent years"

[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."

[3.0] "I think there was a time and place for these belts, but now what trios does AEW even have? 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] "A very impressive list of champions until we get to Mandy Rose and then the belt falls off, Becky Lynch gave the belt some much needed star power, but Lyra isnt having the same effect. Currently the NXT womens division doesnt have enough strong names active who can also go in ring so its brought down by the division being a little bit weak."

[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."

[6.0] "Fell off a cliff after Undisputed era dropped them and then only really recovered when we got MSK got in the tag division before immediately going downhill again. Almost consistently missed off of PLEs which really shows their value. The list of recent champions outside of the creeds is disappointing and NXTs current tag division needs some overhaul."

[8.0] "Does its job as a development world title belt, most who have held had some decent level of main roster success."

[7.0] "The NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship is definitely the most historically prestigious title around. Its lineage has some of the greatest people to ever wrestle in it. 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."

[6.0] "This title has had memorable moments throughout its short history. Had some great feuds like the Uso v New Day and great moments like Slater's victory. Obviously WWE doesn't always value tag teams and this has been shown with this title at times as well. Really wish they would find a way to ununify the titles."

[0.0] "Stupid idea from bad creatives. Despite R Thruth's best efforts to make it comedic, this title was a waste. I'm just glad that the title has been made inactive now and hopefully never return to tv again. This title was utter garbage and a waste of time."

[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."

[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."

[0.0] "Horrible design, zero prestige, thank goodness this horrendous championship has been retired as all this represents is decades of misusing the many many talented women who worked for WWE. The majority of matches fought over this belt were either, short or sexist affairs, lets just all forget about this belt."

[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. For me this belt is a great symbol of WWEs insufferable era of focusing on PG style horror and comedy instead of booking actual wrestling shows."

[5.0] "An odd gimmick championship with a unique and eye catching design, this belt never really helped improve any Wrestlers standing nor was it ever a sort after championship but it certainly has its place in history as an interesting novelty."

[6.0] "Rhea winning this belt was in one of my favourite modern era wrestling matches, however the prestige of this title has not really increased under her reign, it still holds a good amount of prestige but has not progressed as much as I had hoped."

[7.0] "A nice looking championship and one that is being defended on the regular within its first reign by Seth. It does feel like its prestige is growing. Who know wht the future holds for this Championship bit its off to its best possible start."

[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."

[5.0] "I love the belt because nothing else looks like it. It's also wonderfully ridiculous. Tanahashi's defence of the title at New Year's Dash was very much a comedy show, especially with the finish. Let the Ace have some fun with it."

[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"

[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. Hikaru Shida was never the best wrestler in AEW's Women's Division, and Saraya should have never won the title. Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter have been great champions."

[6.0] "This has probably been the best booked title in AEW, with champions mostly being presented in a strong way."

[0.0] "I'm not a fan of anyone who has held this championship, and not only that, but I don't understand why it was created to begin with, other than Tony Khan loves his titles and belts. 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."

[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."

[4.0] "It's unfortunate that the current title has a linage that is so messy. Hamada was great but there were plenty of weak champions and reigns, especially when Eric Young held it, degrading it to a joke."

[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. The matches at the beginning between Kim and Kong were fantastic, but not long after that you have Angelina Love winning the title in a game show type deal, and Tara being happy about it because she got her pet spider back."

[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."

[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."

[6.0] "There's been great wrestlers who have held this title, and some with great reigns as well. The problem is the booking in TNA damaged the title, and it felt like Russo was ready to do some wacky stuff right after The NWA took their title back and the restraints around their top title was taken away."

[2.0] "Unfortunately, this title just never got to go anywhere, and because of the nature of WSX's product the two matches for it were not good either. The champion didn't have a big presence on the TV show either."

[3.0] "The women's division in Ring of Honor was very underwhelming at the time, and the promotion was certainly following a trend instead of going with a true demand for it."

[6.0] "The Pure Rules matches are always interesting, and I wish the promotion would have just adapted the rules for all their matches instead of just doing it for this title alone. In fact its weird because its not like there was ever a "pure" division in Ring of Honor. I don't think the booking has been all that great since Tony bought the promotion, though the matches are more of the exciting ones in ROH."

[4.0] "I understand why this title was created, with a lot of exciting six-man tag matches happening at that period of Ring of Honor. I just don't think the promotion needed another title, especially considering the limited amount of television exposure it had. It doesn't help now that its treated like a secondary title to AEW's Trios Championship."

[6.0] "The title was treated very well during several points in its history, but unfortunately the booking wasn't always that strong for it. I like Matt Taven and Samoa Joe, but I don't think they were booked as well as they could have been."

[8.0] "This tag team championship has always felt like it was treated like a big deal by Ring of Honor, even surpassing it's top singles championship at times. The Briscoe Brothers were the best tag team in the world, and they've held onto these titles for a long time. I think the title has lost a lot of its luster after Tony Khan bought the promotion, but I don't think this current run has lasted long enough to seriously effect my rating."

[6.0] "I understand fans of the old ECW didn't like ECW on SciFi, but this title had a decent run in WWE. There were certainly missteps, like Bobby Lashley defending it on other brands, negating the point of having to watch ECW to see the champion. But there were fun title reigns as well. The belts had a unique look to them as well. I think the biggest issue was nobody saw this title on the level of the other title WWE World Title, and honestly they shouldn't have."

[10.0] "I don't think the title has always had a perfect record, with a ton of title changes in the late '90s and early 2000s. But no other title is prestigious as it, without a doubt being the top championship in pro wrestling. Even when it was considered WWE's "lower tier" world championship, it has outlasted those other titles. Even before being a proper world title it was held in high regard as the top title in the biggest territory in The United States."

[9.0] "The ROH World Championship has always been treated as an important title in Ring of Honor proper before Tony Khan bought the promotion. Even before then though there were a few missteps when it come to who was the champion, especially in the years before Tony bought it. Other promotions besides AEW have not treated the title as a major deal, New Japan for example. But the linage really is fantastic, with the title going to wrestlers that are upcoming starts in the world of pro wrestling."

[7.0] "This titles has some of the highest of highs (Cody, Darby, and Brodie) and some of the lowest lows (Sammy, Scorpio, Will Hobbs). Right now we are in an era for the TNT championship where it feels like one of the top prizes due to Christain Cage and maybe by the end of the year I bump this up to a 8 to 10."

[5.0] "I don't hate this as much as others do, even if the belt looked stupid. This did exactly it was supposed to do - drive social media engagement and community outreach while also being a R-Truth comedy vehicle. If anything, they didn't commit to the bit *enough*."

[8.0] "I understand the dislike many people have towards it, and while it has probably the weakest matches of any WWE championship (barring the 24/7 title, although that was a watered-down version of this concept), it has produced some of my favourite "segments" (given how bizarre and spontaneous some of these were I'm uncertain if I can even call these matches) from this company. Crash Holly vs. The Headbangers is an example of a match which displayed the best role this title could be displayed as, and if it didn't have such an inconsistent run (especially towards its latter stages) it'd probably be a 10/10 for me."

[6.0] "I think the titles are alright, they have had some bad title holders, but it's a supporting title, it's to be expected. Chelsea Green was comical, it gives Kairi and Asuka a title to hold. I feel it has some bad luck with Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville, but overall, not too bad of a champion."
