Just wondering if somebody here put in this bit about the AYOOYFM title belt winning itself? One of the oddest finds ever (found via Yahoo!), but very cool. If you did it, thanks for the promotion! (Although, the title actually won itself first against Seth Harker in a match vs. Mr. X, later defeating a different title belt for itself as detailed here: www.bobwrestling.com/hall_other.html.)

In the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Dramatic Dream Team (DDT), several inanimate objects have held the promotion's "Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship" (a joke title defended any time at any place during any match against anyone or anything, in a parody of WWE's retired Hardcore Title and its infamous "24/7 Rule"). Several of these inanimate "performers" include Kitty-Chan (a Hello Kitty plushie), a wooden baseball bat, and -- most memorably -- Ladder. All of these "wrestlers" were treated by actual wrestlers and DDT performers/crew as if they were any other human competitor.
In fact, not one, not two, but three different Ladders have held the belt. And the baseball bat lost the title by a "KO" decision after being broken in half.
Note that the WWE's Hardcore Title received this treatment at least once itself -- one of the most prominent members of the Hardcore division was Al Snow, a Cloud Cuckoo Lander who carried around a mannequin head and treated it as if it was alive, and, in Al's mind at least, Head once held the Hardcore Title after she turned on Al.
Perhaps the ultimate version came with Internet wrestling parody Brawlers on a Budget, where the You Gotta Be Kidding I Ain't Doing That Are You Out Of Your Fricking Mind title belt won itself on three separate occasions. The first time winning it from another title belt.
