Colloquially known as the "White GHC" belt due to its white leather strap, the No was primarily associated with Jun Akiyama during it original run. Most matches contested for the championship were held with a 15-minute time limit and often featured special stipulations chosen by the champion. The championship was first retired in 2009. The original title had a total of nine reigns shared between eight different champions. The title was brought back in 2023 and given a new name, the GHC Hardcore Championship. The GHC No Championship has had a total of two reigns shared between two champions. The current titleholder is Shuji Ishikawa who is in his first reign.

History

The Global Hardcore Crown Openweight No Championship was created in March 2004 when Jun Akiyama declared himself champion as a No to liven up the Pro Wrestling Noah regional tours. In 2007, it was announced that it would be reformed into a tag team title, continuing with the same lineage as the original belt. Later in 2007, it reverted to being a singles championship. Kentaro Shiga, who was the fifth champion before the reforming into a tag team title, was still recognized as such (along with his tag team partner, Kishin Kawabata), even though it was vacated to be put up for grab in a tournament, which they eventually won. On November 19, 2007, Kawabata defeated Shiga to reunify the title. The title was deactivated after ninth champion Kenta Kobashi suffered an injury in December 2009, forcing him to vacate the title. In October 2023, it was revealed by Nosawa Rongai that Pro Wrestling Noah would bring the belt as the newly created GHC Hardcore Championship with a separate lineage. Masato Tanaka won the revived title on October 23, 2023, at Monday Magic ep. 2, by defeating Ninja Mack.

Reigns

Across the two lineages, there have been a total of eleven reigns shared between ten different champions. The current title holder is Shuji Ishikawa who is in his first reign.
