The ROH Top of the Class Trophy Championship was a professional wrestling championship intended for young wrestlers that was created and promoted by Ring of Honor (ROH).

History

[edit]

The ROH Top of the Class Trophy Championship was created in 2005 by Ring of Honor (ROH) and was intended to be held by ROH's rookie competitors and trainees. On November 4, 2005 Davey Andrews became the inaugural champion by defeating Derrick Dempsey and Shane Hagadorn at Showdown in Motown.[1][2] The championship was deactivated and abandoned in 2008; Rhett Titus was the final holder of the trophy.

Trophy design

[edit]

Unlike traditional professional wrestling championships, the ROH Top of the Class Trophy Championship was not represented by a belt but by a trophy. The trophy was entirely gold and featured a stand at the bottom of it.
