“Real” World Titles, Pt. 2

Since we now have two WWE world titles again, here’s a follow-up to a question I sent you a while back: do you consider the following belts to be "real," legitimate world titles?


– The Universal Championship. (WWE obviously regards this as a world belt, but given its short lifespan and two lackluster champions so far, it’s hard to take it seriously as such.)


​It’s the top championship of the top brand, so YES.​

– The ROH world championship

​A hesitant yes. They’re pretty much the #2 promotion and it’s been promoted in other countries, so that makes it a World title. ​

– The Lucha Underground championship


​Big fat NO, which is no disrespect to the MONSTER MATANZA or the company, but they’re not an actual touring promotion, they’re a TV show. ​

– The NWA title as TNA’s main belt, 2002-2007 (World champion Ken Shamrock! World Champion Ron Killings! World Champion Abyss!)

​It still had the NWA lineage, so YES. ​

– The AAA Mega Championship (I know nothing of the belt’s lineage, but I love the name!)

​All signs point to YES. ​

Thanks.
