#4 TNA World Beer Drinking Championship

The Beer drinking championship - seems familiar to a WWE title?

The TNA World Beer Drinking Championship was conceived in 2007 as a comedy title to add a new layer to the James Storm-Eric Young feud. While it should have been a one-off, the title ended up being displayed on TNA TV for the better part of five months with title defences taking place on multiple TNA pay-per-views despite the title not being recognised by the company.

The title was a replica of John Cena's spinner WWE title with a few enhancements - a spinner design with a beer bottle attached. The title was created at 2007 Genesis PPV by Storm, and Young beat him for the belt on the same night in a beer-drinking contest. Young would retain the title at the next impact and the two would engage in a 'Beer drinking Championship series' at the Final Resolution PPV.

The two would even have a ladder match for the title at TNA Impact when Storm's valet Jackie Moore climbed the ladder and retrieved the title for Storm. The shenanigans ended soon after as Rhyno would effectively retire the championship by smashing it across the ring post and the angle was quietly dropped.
