10 best looking championship belts in pro-wrestling

Roman Reigns and the Intercontinental Championship belt

#4 Ring of Honor World Championship

roh world title — The original Ring of Honor World Championship

The original championship belt used by Ring of Honor was beautiful in its simplicity. Based off of the short-lived UWF Championship, which lasted less than two years as part of a failed mid 1980s attempt at a national promotion, this title belt was used by ROH from its inception in 2002 (first held by Low Ki) until 2010, when a new version was introduced and given to then-champion Roderick Strong.

It was unique in that it didn’t represent the Ring of Honor logo, but rather just a stylized, yet simple ROH in big red letters. It was originally called the ROH Championship before being renamed the ROH World Championship after being defended out of the United States.

It was an example of a company not being haughty about the prestige of their championship.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
