ROH Pure Title History

The Men's Pure Title was established in 2004 before being retired in 2006. The title was revived in 2020 with six champions since its return. The Pure Title has historically been used to highlight some of the most technically proficient wrestlers in the world, with names such as Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Katsuyori Shibata as previous titleholders. The current Men's Pure Champion Lee Moriarty is the longest reigning champion in the title's history, reaching 400 days as champion today.

All tournament matches will be conducted under Pure Rules, which according to Ring of Honor are:

  1. Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls.
  2. After a wrestler exhausts his rope breaks, submission and pin attempts on or under the ropes by his opponent are considered legal.
  3. No closed-fist punches to the face permitted.
  4. Open-handed slaps or chops to the face are permitted.
  5. Punches to the rest of the body are allowed, excluding low blows.
  6. The first use of a closed fist to the face receives a warning.
  7. The second use of a closed fist to the face results in disqualification.
  8. The title can change hands via disqualification and countout.
  9. Outside interference will result in automatic termination from the roster for the wrestler that interferes.
  10. If a title match reaches its time limit without a winner being declared, the winner is decided by a panel of three judges.
