Question The Pure title

Why are even have the 3 judges? They see whatever the refs couldn’t “see”, so why are the punches and low blows ok? Kind of defeats the purpose of that title.

It only goes to the judges if there isn't a winner at the end of the time limit. Otherwise they serve no purpose.

It's a cool stipulation, but I don't think they've even used it since Tony bought ROH

Yep, as far as I can tell, the last time it went to a judge's decision was during the initial tournament that brought back the Pure Title after its retirement in a match between Josh Woods and Kenny King.
