#8 IWGP Heavyweight Championship
The current iteration of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship belt, held as of this writing by longest-reigning Champion Kazuchika Okada, is a classic belt with a rounded bottom topped with prongs that appear to look like a crown, defining the holder of the title as the king of pro wrestling, as it were.
There have been four versions of the belt since its inception in June of 1987. This version was introduced in March of 2008, shortly after Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Kurt Angle on the yearly January 4th event to unify the NJPW version of the title with NJPW founder and former owner Antonio Inoki’s IGF version of the belt.
