Has Jericho Won The Most Titles From the Most Companies?

[LiamMcDuggle]

ROH Champion
WCW Champion (also TV and Cruiserweight)
ECW TV Champion
IWGP IC Title
WWE (take your pick)
AEW 

The only thing missing is Impact/TNA. He's won a title from nearly every major promotion to exist since the 1990's

These were the only guys I could think of who had come close

Rhino

ECW World and TV
WCW US (during invasion) 
Smackdown tag title
TNA/NWA world title
 
Dudleys also have 4

ECW Tag
WWE Tag
WCW Tag (Invasion)
TNA Tag (and single titles)

Jeff Hardy x4
WWE
WCW tag (invasion)
ROH tag
TNA world

I assume we're just talking major companies, though Samoa Joe's up there - WWE, AEW, Impact, ROH, and Noah.

How many titles did Ultimo Dragon win?

Cause he's the original belt holder meme lol

[Cyno]

For major promotions, it has to be someone who has a lot of longevity. And probably did international tours.

Speaking of Jericho, he also won the NWA Middleweight Championship from his time in CMLL. Another one to add for him.

[4real]

Raven is also up there

WWE hardcore Champ
WCW US
ECW Champ
NWA/TNA Champ

Apologies if I forgot one.

[flowercity]

Interesting. Are we expanding this to international promotions too? CMLL, AAA, NJPW, NOAH, etc

[bob]

Ric Flair is up there if we're going back to the territory days:

7 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion
2 time WCW International World Heavyweight Champion
3 time NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion
2 time NWA (Mid Atlantic)/NWA Television Champions
6 time NWA (Mid Atlantic)/WCW United States Heavyweight Champion
3 time NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champion
3 time NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version)
3 time WWE World Tag Team Champion World Tag Team Champion
1 time WWE Intercontinental Champion
2 time WWF World Heavyweight Champion

I think it's tough to beat Jericho because many of his are top titles in the top promotions.

Gets tricky with what promotions to count, especially when a company buys another and/or have different promotions under the same umbrella. Even more when nwa are involved. I wouldn't count those that have 10+ but all indy/smaller promotions.

Then do you count things like the 24/7 or Ironman Heavymetalweight Champions?

Someone like Scott Steiner has both quality and quantity so is another contender.

Some definite 5+ to me

Ftr - WWE, RoH, aew, AAA, njpw. Do you count NXT separately?

Suzuki - Ajpw, njpw, noah, roh, revpro (+MMA)

Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Young Bucks, Rey, Thunder Rosa, Terry Funk, Lawler, Aja Kong and Emi Sakura are all at least 4 and probably more for most but again no idea what to count.

[Celexa Bliss 54]

What are counting here? The number of titles in the most major promotions? Or how many promotions they won titles in?

Because you have someone like a Mick Foley, who won 33 titles across WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, CWA, IWA Japan and World Class, plus a number of smaller indies. I'd imagine if you go back to the territories, you'd find some surprising ones. I'd guess Arn and Tully would have to be up there, for example.

I'd say those are all major companies. NOAH's number 2 or 3 in Japan, right? And Impact and ROH were numbers 2/3 when he won them.

See, that's the interesting thing. What counts as a "major promotion"? In the US, most wouldn't consider CMLL or NOAH to be important, but they're the second biggest promotions in their home countries. AAA and NJPW have representation in the US and have for years, pre-dating AEW's existence. But NOAH, for example, had a bit of a spotlight on them thanks to ROH bringing in guys like Kobashi and KENTA and putting their World Title on Morishima.

Even if you look at strictly American companies, what's considered major? WWE, WCW, AEW of course. ECW, even if they were never bigger than number 3. Impact and ROH have to count, since they were the only serious alternatives to WWE for almost two decades. But where does the NWA land? What about the AWA and World Class? Mid-South? Memphis? Smokey Mountain? Hell, PWG is basically THE super-Indy.

[67 more]

Benoit had a few.

WWE (was World, US, IC and Tag)
WCW (World, US, TV, Tag)
ECW Tag
IWGP Jr Heavy
Stampede (Tag, Mid-Heavy), was one of Canada's biggest promotions
UWA (WWF Light Heavy), was CMLL's main competitor until Peña left and formed AAA
CWA Tag, probably the best well known German promotion of the time

The Dudleys also had NWA (before they split from TNA), Hustle and New Japan tag title reigns too. Bubba also had a reign as ROH Six Man Tag Champions with The Briscoes.

[Natural Born Farmer]

Rey Mysterio would have to be competition as well.

Multiple titles in WCW and WWE, Mexico, and a couple in Japan and Puerto Rico.

Never had any presence in Impact or ROH but that's because he was pretty much always employed by one of the big two US companies.

[LiamMcDuggle]

This thread has taught me it is REALLY tough to compare eras.

Should stuff after Vince bought WCW be considered the same as WWF?

Likewise should the past year of ROH count as AEW?
