Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From Ugliest To Most Beautiful

15. AJPW Triple Crown Championship

AEW World Tag Team Championship

It was probably a sensible to retire the three separate titles (PWF World Heavyweight, NWA United National, NWA International Heavyweight) that together formed the old, fabled Triple Crown.

Its various post-NOAH holders, almost to a man, paled in comparison to the Four Pillars, who carried the three straps like war trophies to symbolise just how arduous the journey was, and just how many warriors they had to overcome.

The replacement is less aspirational, but also, understandably, less illustrious. The design is fabulous - the crown detailing is just understated enough - but the quality of the metal looks decidedly cheap, which is a downgrade too far.
