0:00.0 | So let's make it clear straight away. Nine times out of ten actually has none to do with the person holding the belt. |
0:05.0 | It's the promotion that controls the championship where they accidentally make it fall into the trash. |
0:10.0 | Sometimes literally. So of course over the years many of these belts have gone away and now we look back on them. |
