Upon forming in 2002, Ring Of Honor prided itself on being a promotion which strictly presented pro wrestling. A firm emphasis was put on in-ring competition, something the group have moved away from in years since, taking the ROH Pure Title's meaning and purpose with it. Initially set up under a strict set of rules, involving wrestlers only being allowed three rope breaks, no closed fists and a less-standard count out limit of twenty from the referee once wrestlers spill to the floor. This helped set the title apart from others in wrestling at the time, but it would only last 2 years, being retired in 2006. Regardless of how well the title was received, the physical belt itself is immaculately presented. A pair of grapplers feature prominently on the front, which lets fans know exactly what the title is supposed to represent, pure wrestling, and for the most part, the overall design is kept simple. Silver is the featured metal, something which has become increasingly rare as time has moved on - gold is perceived as more valuable than silver, therefore it's more common. Never the less, the Pure Title is a fantastic looking belt.
