Episode 138 History of the Pure Title

In 2020, Ring of Honor made a surprising decision to resurrect the Pure Title; dormant since 2006 when Bryan Danielson defeated Nigel McGuinness to unify the Pure & World Titles. The unique championship carried a short lineage of names who worked for two years to build the title into a prize worth fighting over: Nigel, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, John Walters, and Doug Williams.
There is of course the weirdness of AJ Styles and the belt he carried for all of a month that was referred to as the Pure WRESTLING Title and long treated as an entirely separate entity, and scarcely acknowledged as happening, even in the title history that graced the old ROHWrestling.com website.

This week on AN HONORABLE MENTION, Jeff and Shane take a dive into the history of the Pure (Wrestling) Title, actually pulling out whatever info they could via WAYBACKMACHINE about what led to its initial incarnation and its rebranding, and (gasp!) they even talk about modern ROH!

Join us for THE HISTORY OF THE PURE TITLE, presented by PATREON.COM/ANHONORABLEPOD, and brought to you be the the legendary CREATIVE CONTROL NETWORK family of podcasts!!!
