10 Best Wrestling Titles Ever

By Jamie Kennedy /

4. IWGP Heavyweight Title

The fourth design of the International Wrestling Grand Prix Heavyweight Title, this belt is the literal crown jewel of New Japan Pro Wrestling. The previous three designs were all brilliant examples of classic wrestling belts, but the current generation is largely considered the best thus far by NJPW management. Sharing a lot in common with the previously-mentioned "Big Gold Belt", the IWGP is smaller than that title, but retains a lot of the reliance on jewels that made it so remarkable. Comparisons can also be made to the old TNA World Title earlier in the list, due to the melding of silver with gold. No expense would be spared to create this belt - wrestling titles are taken more seriously in Japan than they can be in North America, and the IWGP strap is considered the most prestigious title in the Orient. It's important that the physical belt represents that the man holding it is the absolute best, and many a wrestler would be proud to hold this in their hands.
