Open the Dream Gate Championship
The Open the Dream Gate Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the Japanese promotion Dragongate. The wrestler who holds it is considered the top singles wrestler in Dragongate. It was created on July 4, 2004 when Cima was awarded the title as a result of being the last Último Dragón Gym Champion.History
The inaugural champion was Cima, who was awarded the championship for being the last Último Dragón Gym Champion. He is still the longest reigning champion as of today at 574 days. Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship.Belt design
The title belt's face has a "gate" on it represented by a hinged metallic door that contains a plate with the titleholder's name. Any official challenger for the belt carries a key used to open the gate, and should they win the title, then they can open the gate and put their name inside it. However, if the title is successfully defended, then the key is added to the main plate of the belt as a symbol of the respective successful defense. The original title belt was lost following Dragongate's July 20, 2015 event, which forced the promotion to create a new belt, which debuted on August 16, 2015.Reigns
