The Pure Championship is a title contested for in the North Americian independent professional wrestling promotion Ring Of Honor.
Matches for the Pure Championship are conducted under three simple Pure Rules:
- Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls during the match. After a wrestler exhausts his rope breaks, sumbission and pin attempts under the ropes are considered legal.
- There are no closed-fist punches to the face allowed in a Pure match, only open-handed slaps or chops to the face are allowed. Punches to other parts of the body (save for low-blows) are permitted.
- A wrestler is subject to a twenty count by the referee if the wrestler goes to the floor.
Title history
Trivia
- Originally named the ROH Pure Wrestling Championship
- A.J. Styles defeated CM Punk in the finals of an 8 man, one night tournament to crown the first champion.
- Renamed the ROH Pure Championship after Styles was stripped of the Pure Wrestling Title due to being unable to wrestle for ROH as he became a Total Nonstop Action Wrestling exclusive wrestler.
