The Global Legendary Television Championship of the World is a LARPing championship created by FARK Wrestling Community (fWc) member Captain Steroid for TNA / ROH Discussion Threads on FARK.com. Known as the GLTV Championship, for short, it has been nicknamed the "Pony Belt" for both Captain Steroid's propensity for posting pictures from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as well as former champion FirstNationalBastard's custom version of the "belt": a picture of the Universal Wrestling Federation Television Championship with the pony Rarity photoshopped on top.
History[]

It is currently used for Wednesday night threads pertaining to WWE Network series NXT and the Cruiserweight Classic.
On June 22, 2014, it was defended for the first time outside a TNA thread, in the Discussion Thread for the Ring of Honor "Best In The World" Pay-Per-View, under the rules that the title would be defended every 150 posts until the end of the show.. After initially retained by defending champion Natural316, it was later won in the evening, at the 300th post, by Captain Steroid, under these special conditions.
Its first winner was FARKer tragicallyhip. The longest reigning is BATMANATEE , whose fourth reign lasted an unprecedented 84 consecutive days. Captain Steroid, holds the record for most reigns with 20.
The current champion is DrunkenGator.

Championship Rules[]
Originally, whoever posts the phrase "Shooting Star Staple Super Press" during a "Wrasslin' Wednesday" wrestling thread for the 150th wins the title. A miss, botch, or "time-limit draw" (defined as the thread not reaching 150 posts before the end of the program), and the champion retains the title until the next TNA thread. On November 24, 2015, the phrase "Shooting Star Staple Super Press" began being used on the 50th post.
Like the coveted fWc Gredunza Championship, this phrase is also derived from pro wrestling legend Chris Jericho's 1998 promo during an episode of WCW Monday Nitro, in which he claimed to know 1,004 wrestling holds; 3 more than his rival at that time, Dean Malenko.
It would seem everything awesome in the FARK Wrestling Community can, somehow, be traced back to Jericho... >.>
Unification[]
On Monday, July 28, 2014, it was announced that Spike TV was cancelling TNA Impact Wrestling. With TNA's future, and any future TNA threads, in doubt, defending champion/creator Captain Steroid made the decision to unify the Global Legendary Television Championship of the World with the Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Gredunza Championship on the WWE RAW Discussion Thread later that evening. That evening, it was won by FARKer Flappyhead, officially making him the final Global Legendary Television Champion of the World.
...
OR WAS HE?!
Reinstatement[]
On June 3, 2015, the Global Legendary Television Championship of the World was reinstated after TNA's Impact Wrestling was moved to Wednesday nights on Destination America, directly following Ring of Honor on the same network. In the first-ever "Wrasslin' Wednesday" thread for this block of televised pro wrestling, Captain Steroid won the title for a record 8th reign under "Sudden Death" overtime.
On August 31, 2015, ShiningWizard became the first person to win the championship in a WWE RAW discussion thread.
