10 Most Bizarre Wrestling Title Lineages
1. DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship
The DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, an avant-garde parody of WWE's old Hardcore Title, is akin to pro wrrstling's version of the Aristocrats joke when on excursion; it's up to the holder to tell their own version of the title loss punchline, and it's considered very disgusting.

Current AEW referee Rick Knox once defeated AEW commentator Excalibur for it. The (inspired) gag was that Excalibur was too exhausted from reading the hardly verbose Ernest Hemingway to stay awake.

When booked by its owner, Japan's high-patter Dramatic Dream Team promotion, the lineage becomes drenched in total absurdity, the belt having been held by a pint of beer, a pork bun, a steel ladder, a painting, the title belt itself, a cat, a monkey, a dog, Vince McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and Johnny Gargano.
