Even that lineage is a little off. The PWI almanac has the NWA/WCW title dating back to the early 1900's with George Hackinschmidt.

The WWE's stance on this has flip-flopped; they have sometimes said it's a new title, but they also did a Confidential feature in 9/02 about 'great World Heavyweight Champions' and profiled Sting, DDP, Flair, and Hogan. At the wrestling-titles.com forums, this has been a 20-month debate, but title history god Dan Poutsma has described it like this: 1) Bischoff never said he was "stripping" Lesnar of any particular championship [on the 9/2/02 RAW]. He just said that RAW was "disputing" the Undisputed title after Brock became exclusive to SmackDown! and that they were gonna recognize their own world champ in Triple H, who had earned the number one contender spot to the Undisputed title prior. 2) It was said later on that Triple H was awarded a "resurrected" title, which insinuates that there was a period where it laid dormant and was inactive. 3) Bischoff went out of his way to mention when he was awarding Big Goldy to Triple H that he was also the last person to wear/hold it. Based on these three premises, that leads me to conclude that as far as they're concerned, the World title was retired when Big Goldy was retired shortly after Wrestlemania 18, meaning that the Undisputed title only contained both titles during the reigns of Jericho and Triple H until they got rid of Big Goldy and the old WWF championship belt in favor of a new one. All good points. Another point of reference is the superstars page on WWE.com. If you check Goldbergs profile you'll notice he's listed as a WCW champion and a World champion In terms of the confidential peice, i think it was implying World Champions in general, much like how the RAW and Smackdown! titles are both considered World Titles. Although I could be wrong, i haven't actually seen the piece. Either way, the WWE need to come out and clear this all up with a title lineage site like they used to have.

The World title is not the same title as the title unified with the WWE title of the same name. The WWE recognizes the old WCW title and the RAW title as seperate belts. The RAW title is merely and 'extension' of the WWE title. I think Obsessed with Wrestling has the best grasp on the lineage: here

I like the actual logo. The flames are nice touch

My dad told me Van Halen are reforming with Sammy Hagar. On the official site it says nothing of this but there are tour dates listed. Anyone know the story?

GOOD GOD *jumps out a window*

They should have sent Lance to SD! instead of Cade

Any Canadians know if The Monday Night Wars DVD is released over here this week?

And by Edgefest I mean the real one, not the knock off shows they have in Buffalo So this year we have Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Jet, The Salads and headliners......Good Charlotte. Man, I didn't think they'd out do themselves after last year. I also didn't know that they were changing the name of the Warped Tour to Edgefest.

The Backlash website notes that the show will be a homecoming for Benoit. Yet his profile now has him residing in Atlanta. Weird.

http://www.objective.jesussave.us/kidz.html More fun from our fundamental Christain friends! Now they've got giraffs telling us the Earth is 10,000 years old, T-Rex's were herbivores, and Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word. "Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them." Well I'll be.

It's rare that a poll ISN'T 51/49 unless its completly lame or absurd like asking fans if they'd do Mae Young or something

I know one of Bret Hart's shirts had him with the title belt on it. Ya, i think I still have that shirt. Got it a house show in '97. It has a collage of Bret in action with the text "the legend continues" and on the back it had all his title victories.

Piper. Raven and Pillman should be on the list too

I picked up the Benoit shirt at Mania since they sold out of WMXX shirts and programs I love the design/color. The only drawback is the WWE logo at the top which they conveniently cropped out on shopzone.

I really hope they include the post show celebration with Nancy and their kid celebrating in the ring with Chris and Eddie

Futurama: Season 3

Having marked out in the 400 level last night and screaming "tap!" at the top of my lungs, i still cannot speak properly today.

I don't think he actually resides in Atlanta. Don't Nancy and his child still live in Edmonton?

Yowza! I want to see a clip of that

Ah, so thats WHY Bret isn't going to show. Vince refused when he demanded that he simultaneously go over Kurt and Eddie in the title match. That selfish bastard.

Alright, so who's in for TSM meet up at a bar or restraunt before the show? Anyone know any good places around MSG?

What the fuck? Was that a diss? No, just implying those are the only non-steriod users in the fed

I'm surprised the media even cares

hehe. foolish american newscasters
