  1. When the hell was that grounds for a loss in a match?

     

    I hate it when WWE makes up these fucking rules on the fly just for the sake of a finish. Like that one time Edge was disqualified for dropping Jericho on the top rope.

    Meh...I was sort of sidetracked, but what happened? He couldn't get up after being down for 10 right? If so, that's grounds for losing...*points to the numerous Last man standing matches...it's the same thing in a regular match..

    London and Akio were both being 10-counted, a cliche spot in every wrestling match. London got up at 9, which usually stops the process, but the ref counted 10 at Akio, and Akio was eliminated.

  2. This is old news. Bruno's been turning down the Hall of Fame since it started in 1993.

     

    Bruno hates Vince, Jr. because he screwed him over on some payments during his run as a commentator in the late-80s and he later found out Vince, Sr. screwed him out of some money too.

  3. i love how Douglas would always bitch and holler about all the preferential treatment guys like Flair, Michaels and Nash got, but didn't seem to mind when he got the same treatment in ECW. (good example: his yearish-long title reign despite being injured though most of it.)

    That was more of an issue of Paul Heyman not wanting to break the lineage of the ECW Title than it was a preferrential treatment of Shane Douglas. Heyman would have let anyone in that situation do that.

  4. It's not Diesel's fault.

     

    It was the booking team.

     

    Diesel was crazy over as he broke away from Shawn and turned face.  They decided to try the "big dominating champion" run.  Was it successful?

     

    I'd say "partly"...obviously he wasn't drawing huge, but was anyone then?

     

    Tag team/midcard HBK HEEL as world champ?  Not ready.

    Bret as World Champ?  Just DID that.  Obviously they decided to change things up.

    Backlund drawing?  Uh...no.

    Taker as champ then?  C'mon, Taker was a poor champion even when business was booming.

     

    I understand your point.  Diesel's reign wasn't great.  But don't blame him like he was booking the title into his hands...now THAT would kill a company if Nash ever had the book and decided to put himself over the big stars...

    UTSU, how can anybody say that Backlund as champ didn't draw, since he held the belt for, what, 3 days?

    -=Mike

    On the same token, I don't know how anyone could defend putting the belt on Diesel for being crazy over after turning on Shawn, because he won the belt only 3 days after he turned face.

  5. JBL would beat Diesel's reign if he held the title until June 22nd, 2005. That would be 359 days.

     

    For the record, I went to the trouble of calculating all the World Title reigns:

     

    Triple H

    -- December 15th, 2002 to September 21st, 2003 = 280 Days

     

    Chris Benoit

    -- March 14th, 2004 to August 15th, 2004 = 154 Days

     

    Triple H

    -- December 14th, 2003 to March 14th, 2004 = 91 Days

     

    Triple H

    -- September 12th, 2004 to December 6th, 2004 = 85 Days

     

    Goldberg

    -- September 21st, 2003 to December 14th, 2003 = 84 Days

     

    Triple H

    -- September 2nd, 2002 to November 17th, 2002 = 76 Days

     

    Shawn Michaels

    -- November 17th, 2002 to December 15th, 2002 = 28 Days

     

    Randy Orton

    -- August 15th, 2004 to September 12th, 2004 = 28 Days

  6. John Bradshaw Layfield has now become the second-longest longest reigning WWE Champion since the 358 day WWE Championship reign of Diesel from November 26th, 1994 to November 19th, 1995. As of February 14th, JBL has now surpassed Shawn Michaels' original title reign of 231 days from March 31st, 1996 to November 17th, 1996.

     

    JBL will begin his 8th month as WWE Champion on February 27th, considering he retains the championship at No Way Out in the Barbed Wire Steel Cage match against The Big Show, which he will more than likely do barring a complete booking 180.

     

    Assuming JBL holds on to the title until WrestleMania 21 on April 3rd where he is likely to drop the title to John Cena, here is where JBL's reign would rank among WWE Title reigns since Diesel's.

    -- November 26th, 1994 to November 19th, 1995 = 358 days
