Titles/Championships that weren't represented by belts

[TGM]

Cody had the Ring of Honor ring.

The WWF King of the Ring had a trophy the year Edge won it (and that famous belt Mabel never used).

What are some other titles / championships that were represented by objects other than belts?

[Lupin the Third]

Chikara's Young Lions Cup is actually a Cup.

Chikara's King of Trios are medals.

WCCW Six man Tag Championship was a trophy at first

[MolotovMocktail]

ROH originally had a trophy for their Tag Titles.

[MiLB Fan]

WCW’s King of Cable tournament had a trophy as the prize.

[chrom]

Battlebowl Ring was in fact a ring

OVW's Hardcore Championship was briefly represented by a trash can

Greatest Royal Rumble title unless they decide to do it again of course but right now it's a one off.

The FCW 15 Championship was a medal.

That one had both a title belt and trophy, though.

That Saudi title belt is dope as hell,

I believe the SMW Beat the Champion Television Title was never formally represented as a belt, which made sense given no champion could hold the title longer than five weeks.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Wasn't WCW's Hardcore Championship a trophy originally? I know it eventually BECAME a belt, but I have this vague recollection of various guys lugging a trophy around.

The Mid-South TV Title was originally a medal. When they transformed into UWF, they did an angle where TV champ Dick Slater tossed it off a bridge into the river below; he was subsequently forced by the company to pay for a new belt, which became the new UWF TV title.

Huh so that’s where they stole it when Austin threw the ic belt to the river.

The tossing a title off a bridge into the river angle was done in pretty much every territory at some point.

There was a trophy for winning the Junkyard Battle Royal that Fit Finlay carried around (and possibly defended?) until he got that brutal leg injury being put through a table.

However, it is not included in the lineage for the WCW Hardcore title, which began with Normal Smiley winning the inaugural title match at Mayhem 99.

IIRC, The PWG Tag Titles were originally two belts. As in, off the rack black leather belts from Wal Mart.

The original PROGRESS World title was a staff:




And the tag titles were 2 halves of a shield:
