Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From Ugliest To Most Beautiful

9. ROH World Championship

ROH World Title
ROH

Ring Of Honor is deep, after an illustrious, groundbreaking history, into its LOLROH phase, and what's worse is that the action and talent remains good-to-very good - just sadly irrelevant through factors of its (self-) own making. Its top prize no longer draws, but it paints a beautiful picture.

The logo and lettering is retrained, and the red stud detail doesn't feel like a desperate bid for attention but a lovely, intricate detail that might have mirrored its old technical classics, once upon a time. The extravagant rococo of the plate symbolises a quality of extravagance that the empty seating charts ruthlessly betray.

Beautiful, but inaccurately so.
