9. Pro Wrestling NOAH Global Honored Crown

Those unfamiliar with the intricacies of Pro Wrestling NOAH, Mitsuharu Misawa's voyage into exciting and uncharted new waters following his bitter breakaway from AJPW, might reasonably assume the acronym emblazoning the company's top title stands for something sensible. 'Grand Heavyweight Champion', perhaps.

Nope: it's obviously 'Global Honored Crown', and that ludicrous, vaguely intelligible name alone makes this belt an absolute blinder. The strap itself has all the trappings of a top drawer trouser-suspender: it's suitably massive, suitably golden, and has an ornate symmetry featuring the mandatory array of delicately inscribed globes, wings, and generic wrestlefolk. Adding to the prestige is the fact the company's name features nowhere, giving the title an implicitly transcendental aura. Sexy stuff.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
