16-bit Butt-Head posted:a Japanese promotion had a similar title and the belt itself won the title because it pinned the current holder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Heavymetalweight_Championship Notable champions As of November 2022, there have been over 1,500 title changes for the belt, which has been won by numerous male and female wrestlers and non-wrestlers, including children, animals, entire audiences and inanimate objects. Animals Yatchan - A monkey Cocolo - A miniature Dachshund dog Bunny - A cat Inanimate objects Ladder - a steel ladder. Would fall on the champion and a pinfall was counted. Ladder successfully defended the title by not being pinned during the time limit battle royal matches. Ladder was a three-time champion and the first inanimate object to win the title. Kitty-Chan - a stuffed 'Hello Kitty' doll Mah-Kun - another stuffed doll, who defeated 'Kitty-Chan' for the belt A baseball bat - lost the belt after being broken in half as a 'KO' decision Chiririn - a chicken doll Mr. Kasai - a stuffed Jun Kasai doll. Mr. Kasai has won the belt twice A Pro Wrestling Wave poster Big Japan Pro Wrestling ring truck Ice Ribbon ringside mat A pint of beer Three different sticks of yakitori Two different steel chairs "Kōmyō", a calligraphy by actor Akihiro Miwa The title belt itself The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship belt Yoshihiko - An inflatable 'love doll' and the supposed brother of Akihiro. Wrestlers treat it as if it actually was an active wrestler, and actually sell moves "done" by him/her, mostly high flying moves. For some moves, like outside dives, Yoshihiko is helped by one or more assistants, who throw him out of the ring, pull his foot on the ropes, etc. Opposing wrestlers act as if those assistants are not there and are part of Yoshihiko. The original Yoshihiko was "killed" by an Antonio Honda knee drop, which caused its head to burst open, and was replaced by a second Yoshihiko, who was also a 'love doll', only modified to resemble the Great Muta. The second Yoshihiko was killed by Kenny Omega by a giant swing that sent Yoshihiko out of the ring, thus splitting his head open and revealing cotton stuffing. Later on in that match however, a third Yoshihiko came out resembling The Undertaker's old American Bad rear end gimmick, even using the same theme music. Following that match, the third Yoshihiko was shot to death by Antonio Honda. A fourth Yoshihiko, resembling Hulk Hogan, debuted shortly afterwards. Akihiro, another inflatable 'love doll'. Made its debut on August 18, 2013. Vince McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star A bus TV Tokyo camera crane Pork bun A kotatsu table A trash bin Pair of chopsticks RN: Konyamoanokodenuitarou - A printed E-mail Beer Can - Champion Yukio Sakaguchi drank from the can and fell backwards with the can on top of him. The referee counted the pin. The can lost the belt after Yuki Ueno drank its remaining contents. An apple A christmas tree Stefan the Dinosaur - Unagi Sayaka’s Stuffed Dinosaur Maya Yukihi's Whip Non-existent Arnold Skeskejanaker - An "invisible wrestler" i.e. non-existent. Opponents sell moves of a wrestler who isn't there, and the title is held by nothing and no-one but the wrestlers and referees act as if they can see and pin the "invisible wrestler". Muscle Sakai "won" the title from this "invisible wrestler" by using a "ray gun" and "infrared visor" to shoot the "invisible wrestler", winning the belt on a KO decision. The Invisible Man - Another "invisible wrestler" Collective champions Three elementary school girls (Airi Ueda, Shiori Takahashi and Minami Tanabe) The Addiction (later known as SoCal Uncensored) (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) The entire audience of Beyond Wrestling's Americanrana '16 The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson).

AEW's got another PPV tonight, so here's me writing about it.  SAMOA JOE (C) VS. SWERVE STRICKLAND AEW World Championship At the last PPV, Samoa Joe defended his title in a triple threat against forever enemies Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page. While Joe successfully retained, two interesting things happened with Hangman. One, he angrily beat up one of the referees out of frustration, which led to him getting suspended. Two, when locked in the Coquina Clutch, Hangman seemingly gave up for the sake of keeping the title out of Swerve’s hands. Swerve wanted a rematch ASAP without Hangman’s involvement. He earned his rematch through a winning streak, ending with a banger match against Konosuke Takeshita. He and Joe had a contract signing where Swerve tried to choke him out from behind with a chain, only for Joe to no-sell it and beat Swerve into a bloody pulp. As Joe walked up the ramp, Swerve used his own blood to sign the contract as a taunt. Joe climbed back into the ring and put Swerve in a table. A week later, as Joe was walking out for a match against Dustin Rhodes, Swerve jumped him and tackled him off a stage, causing them to both crash through a table. The match was postponed for later in the show and Joe succeeded in choking out Dustin. Afterwards, Swerve arrived and attacked him with the chain again. The two were separated, but Swerve’s manager Prince Nana handed Swerve the title belt, angering Joe. Swerve called Joe out on the following episode, where despite security’s best efforts, the two brawled it out and Joe left Swerve beaten once again. TIMELESS TONI STORM (C) VS. THUNDER ROSA AEW Women’s Championship Way back when, Thunder Rosa was AEW Women’s Champion. Then her body fell apart on her and she had to vacate the title before a PPV match against then-friend Toni Storm. Toni became “Interim Champon” at the time and was always kind of annoyed that she lost the title before it was decided that, yeah, Thunder Rosa was cooked and definitely wasn’t coming back any time soon. Since then, Toni has gone insane, turned into a black and white 1930s starlet, and found a protégé in Mariah May. Thunder Rosa has recently returned to the ring after being gone for about a year and a half. While she has worked her way to a title match, including beating Mariah May in a number one contender match, she still hasn’t been doing that great physically and her in-ring days are probably numbered. In the meantime, Mariah May’s former tag partner from Stardom Mina Shirakawa has been showing up here and there, which is laying the seeds for a war between Mina and Toni over Mariah’s loyalty. RODERICK STRONG (C) VS. KYLE O’REILLY AEW International Championship When the masked Devil antagonizing MJF was revealed to be Adam Cole, the whole storyline seemed to fall into the background. Cole’s been injured since September with no change in sight, MJF has been off TV since the reveal due to injury, and all that’s left is Cole’s stable of midcarders, the Undisputed Kingdom. At Revolution, Roderick Strong was able to destroy Orange Cassidy (worn out from months of endless title defenses) to easily win the International Championship. After the match, his old friend Kyle O’Reilly showed up to congratulate him. O’Reilly used to be a stablemate of Strong and Cole and has been off TV for what feels like two years to the point that it was a wonder if he would ever return at all. Around this time, Undisputed Kingdom muscle Wardlow won an title shot against AEW World Champion Samoa Joe. Wardlow lost, incensing Cole, who demands that Wardlow’s new job is to make sure Strong holds onto the International Championship and that Matt Taven and Mike Bennett remain ROH Tag Team Champions. Strong has been trying to convince O’Reilly to join the United Kingdom, but he hasn’t been sure about it, kind of wanting to do his own thing. Rocky Romero challenged Strong to an Eliminator Match (non-title match where winning means he’ll earn a title match), which O’Reilly showed him respect for. After Strong won, O’Reilly arrived and tried to help up Romero. The Undisputed Kingdom beat down Romero afterwards and when O’Reilly told them to stop, they laid him out as well. JULIA HART (C) VS. WILLOW NIGHTINGALE TBS Championship About a year ago, NJPW did a tournament to crown their first NJPW STRONG Women’s Openweight Championship. The finals had Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) vs. Willow Nightingale, and while Mone was definitely supposed to win, she suffered a major leg injury during the match and had them improvise a new finisher where Willow won. In recent months, Willow and her best friend Kris Statlander have been at war with TBS Champion Julia Hart and her cohort Skye Blue. While Statlander failed to beat Julia for the title, Willow has won a shot at it. But there has been another wrinkle in the feud. Mercedes Mone signed with AEW and while she won’t be wrestling for another couple PPVs, she has made it apparent that she has hard feelings towards Willow. In kayfabe, she blames her for the injury and has strongly hinted at wanting to exact violent revenge. On top of that, during a sitdown interview, Mercedes was beaten down by an unknown assailant in the dark. That’s Julia Hart’s MO, but it’s probably a red herring. THE YOUNG BUCKS VS. FTR Ladder Match for AEW Tag Team Championship Back when FTR was in WWE as the Revival, the big tag team dream match was them facing the Young Bucks. Eventually, it happened in AEW. Three times. FTR was 2-1, though their last match at All In had the Bucks refuse a handshake afterwards. The Young Bucks have recently become douchey manager types, playing into how their critics perceive them. At Revolution, they lost to Sting and Darby Allin in Sting’s farewell match. As Sting and Darby were tag champs, this vacated the titles and a new tournament was put together. The Young Bucks and FTR have made it to the finals. Recently, the Young Bucks played footage of the infamous CM Punk/Jack Perry altercation from All In, claiming that dealing with that acted as a distraction and caused them to lose to FTR at that show. FTR responded that everyone really needs to move on from All In and let the upcoming tag match speak for itself. Meanwhile, the Bucks have been singing the praises of Jack Perry, who hasn’t been in AEW since All In and has been wrestling in NJPW as the ScapeGOAT. Perry recently lost a match that seemed to be writing him out of NJPW, so he will probably be showing up. It’s also worth noting that AEW supposedly just signed top tier TNA tag team the Motor City Machine Guns, so they might show up as well. KAZUCHIKA OKADA (C) VS. PAC Continental Championship Kazuchika Okada signed on with AEW and immediately became the third man in the Elite. One of his first matches had him take on Eddie Kingston for the Continental Championship, which he won cleanly. Immediately, Pac – who had not been around for quite some time – made his return in order to get into Okada’s face. The two have been crossing paths in different six-man tag matches and there isn’t all that much story going on here. It doesn’t matter, as this could potentially steal the show. I mean, it definitely would if it wasn’t for Danielson/Ospreay. THE ACCLAIMED VS. BULLET CLUB GOLD Winners consolidate the AEW Trios Championship and ROH Six-Man Tag Championship The Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold have a lengthy history, namely in the sense that the Gunns and Acclaimed feuded several times over and the Acclaimed even stole their dad away. Anyway, after realizing that both teams were screwed over by the Devil and the Undisputed Kingdom, they decided to join forces as the Bang Bang Scissor Gang. They proceeded to completely forget about all the Undisputed Kingdom stuff and instead focused on winning titles. More specifically, the Acclaimed held onto the AEW Trios Championship while Bullet Club Gold won the ROH Six-Man Tag Championship. The two sides teamed up a bunch and did a big pile of nothing and it was suggested that Max Caster was going to turn heel due to his annoyed demeanor and tendency to screw up his pre-match entrance raps. Instead, Jay White defeated Darby Allin in a singles match and Bullet Club Gold proceeded to beat the poo poo out of Darby after the fact. The Acclaimed tried to get them to chill out but received a beatdown instead. In the weeks that followed, Bullet Club Gold decided to do a mocking tour of Billy Gunn’s home, before cheesing it the moment dad got home. Billy had a match with Jay White that ended with a DQ finish and more brawling. Now both teams are putting their belts on the line in a winner take all situation and fans are hoping that finally, FINALLY, they can move on to something else. HOOK (C) VS. CHRIS JERICHO FTW Championship Chris Jericho had a match with Hook as a tag partner and it went well. Jericho challenged Hook to a singles match for the hell of it and got annihilated, mainly being dropped on his head a lot. Jericho showed respect to Hook and suggested Hook learn under Jericho’s tutelage. Hook initially was down with it, though things started to complicate when Hatsuyori Shibata started fighting alongside the two. Jericho started screwing up and blamed the others for not listening to his advice. In reality, this feud is both Jericho doing a parody of how people criticize his storylines (ie. the dread that comes with being associated with Jericho, as he’ll steal away your heat and you’ll be stuck in his vortex for way too long) and how CM Punk got pissy at not being this beloved backstage veteran during his time in AEW. Jericho had Taz barter a meeting with Hook where Jericho acted petulant that Hook didn’t want to be his protégé. This culminated in Jericho knocking Taz over and Hook chasing Jericho out of the ring. Jericho claims he’s sorry about how things went down going into a match for Hook’s FTW title. WILL OSPREAY VS. BRYAN DANIELSON Recently, AEW signed international star Will Ospreay, who is a member of the Don Callis Family. At Revolution, Callis decided to have two of his clients Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita have a match just for the sake of having an awesome match. And it was loving awesome! In fact, Callis has been having Ospreay wrestle against the whole stable, and he’s won every time. After one of those matches, Bryan Danielson showed up to challenge Ospreay at Dynasty. Bryan Danielson has maybe half a year left in his time as a full-time wrestler, so he doesn’t want to waste time. The two have been preparing for this match, but it has also started up a feud between the Don Callis Family and the Blackpool Combat Club. Callis has been intent on having his guys beat the crap out of Danielson when possible so he’d be banged up for the Dynasty match. Ospreay has not been happy with that and considering his huge popularity with the crowd, his days with Callis are likely numbered. ADAM COPELAND, EDDIE KINGSTON, AND MARK BRISCOE VS. HOUSE OF BLACK Adam Copeland finally finished off his lengthy feud with Christian Cage via an I Quit Match where Copeland beat his former buddy in the junk with a spiked plank of wood. Now TNT Champion, Copeland decided to go back to doing his open challenge series, the Cope Open. After winning his first defense, the lights went out and Malakai Black let it be known that he was going to target Copeland and his new title. Copeland was soon rescued by Mark Briscoe and Eddie Kingston. Briscoe has been having issues with House of Black for a while and even went to war with them alongside Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, but that did not work out for him. He also recently won the ROH World Championship from Eddie Kingston, who took the whole thing in stride. It’s a very random trio, but one that just might work. TRENT BERETTA VS. MATT SYDAL ORANGE CASSIDY AND HATSUYORI SHIBATA VS. SHANE TAYLOR AND LEE MORIARTY In the aftermath of Orange Cassidy losing the International Championship and the whole thing with Sting and Darby Allin vacating of the AEW Tag Team Championship, Best Friends made a go for the tag tournament. Unfortunately, Chuck Taylor is still injured, so Orange and Trent worked together. Things were going good, but they ended up losing to the Young Bucks. Afterwards, when they were about to do their trademark hug, Trent laid Orange out and stormed off. He always seemed slightly peeved here and there, but after years of never having any success as a singles or tag wrestler, it finally caused him to snap. When Orange beat Shane Taylor in a singles match, Taylor’s stable Shane Taylor Productions jumped into the ring to beat Orange down. Guys like Christopher Daniels and Matt Sydal ran out to help Orange, but someone intercepted them with chair shots. That someone ended up being Trent, who was still wearing his “ORANGE AND TRENT WIN THE BIG ONE” t-shirt made for the tag tournament. Shane Taylor Productions seemed uneasy seeing Trent outside the ring with a chair, but understood he was no their side and continued messing up Orange.

So there's a rumor that Vince is selling all his TKO stock because he wants to start a BRAND NEW WRESTLING COMPANY, or buy TNA, and basically go YOU DIDN'T FIRE ME I QUIT NOW I'M GONNA DESTROY YOU. Honestly, it's a pity that such a work ethic is attached to such a lunatic misogynist monster. The fictional character that such a rumor reminds me of is Scrooge McDuck, who at one point having briefly lost his fortune, promptly started trying to rebuild it all over again, from scratch, when he was as old as Vince is. And Vince isn't a cartoon. It's a shame that his utter lunatic need to KEEP AT IT couldn't stop him from being a rapist and a sex trafficker. Then again, I would wager that his refusal to ever stop is to try and drown out the shrieking agonies that would fill him if he did.

That was easily moty but we also had a really important world title match in the main event and a ladder match between two of the best tag teams in the world. Also Okada/PAC friggin opened the show. Both women's matches were good too. Oh and we had one very cool surprise that everyone saw coming but was great anyway The only stain on the show was Jericho beating HOOK. The match itself was fine but Jericho winning the FTW title is somehow even worse than when he won the ROH world title. He's gone from "boo heel" to "X-Pac go away and retire and gently caress off forever heat" for me. The only real silver lining is that the crowd was absolutely savage to Jericho with their chants
