Title reigns that make you say

[Guest converge241]

do you ever reflect upon title lineage on say the other arena or PWI alamanc, or just in your mind

 

OR

 

get informed about a title reign

 

and just get blown away that they did it?? not so much because you like/dont like the wrestler but just cant believe it slipped your mind or what have you??

 

of course the hardcore title(s) are the worst for this so there could be many there

 

some of mine are

 

Albert and Lance Storm as back to back IC champs (during Invasion) I mean i saw both changes happen yet it still kind of makes me say hmm

 

Alex Wright as WCW tag champ with Bill DeMott (understandibly this was done because they were in germany but in no way fit storyline wise)

 

Muto and Vampiro as WCW tag champs for one day (just because it seemed weird to end Kronic's reign so abruptly but apparently they didnt want to job to the Filthy Animals so they set up a transition)

 

Bagwell and Douglas during new blood rising

(yes the WCW tag belts have a few)

 

Steve McMichael, One Man Gang as US champions

 

share yours/feel free to comment on any that you didnt know about and got exposed to here

 

also check out

other arena title histories

 

to review the titles if youre a newbie or not familiar

[Guest Jack Tunney]

Any IC title reign from 1999.

[Guest converge241]

oof

 

those were some bad rapid fire changes

 

road dogg, venis, godfather, dust (when his character was DEAD, edge for a day

[Guest razazteca]

Kane getting nearly all WWF titles, especially the tag title with Undertaker during the INVASION

[Guest bob_barron]

Rock and Taker as tag team champs for a couple days.

 

DDP and Kanyon as WWF Tag Team Champs.

 

Tajiri as US Champion.

 

Mideon as Euro champ

[Guest papacita]

Any IC title reign from 1999.

 

SHUT UP! SHE WAS A GOOD CHAMPION!!!!!!

 

You were thinking it...

 

Anyway, Chyna's 3rd I-C reign (where she beat Trish) seems a little odd, even to me.

 

Jericho's 2 minute Hardcore Title reign...where they made a big deal about him overcoming odds to beat the Big Show (I think) only to have him get beaten by Rhyno after the match.

 

Jim Duggan's US Title reign was a big WTF, as well as Renegade's TV Title reign in 95.

 

Also Crash Holly's brief Euro Title run stands out to me, because I remember approx. 99.9% of all WWF/E title changes dating back to 1988, but don't remember that.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

A lot of the silly WCW cruiser weight title reigns near the end when they had perfectly legitimate people to put the belt on besides Oklahoma and Madusa. Also, the tag team cruiser belts made no sense to me to create in the first place.

[Guest converge241]

the WCW cruiserweight champion shares some of the hardcore title nonsense (unfortunately) with TWO women holding it let alone one ..Ferrara and Disco (only because he clearly seemed bigger than the other guys)were other odd choices

 

Valentine and Taylor as US tag champs (thats just one of those i forgot about)

[Guest notJames]

Vince and Steph as WWF and Women's champions, respectively.

 

Never underestimate the ego that pulls the strings.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Converge, you wanna talk US Tag Champs...weren't Dick Slater and The Barbarian the last known champs? Talk about a mishmash team.

 

Ah, WCW '92-'93. When Tony Atlas was a badass heel, you couldn't jump off the top rope, and Erik Watts went over half the roster.

[Guest converge241]

ah yes the last holders of the belts..i remembered that they had it but i forget

why were they even together again? manged by Parker or something?

[Guest Renegade]

Big shows 2nd world title.

[Guest converge241]

"Big shows 2nd world title."

when he won it from HHH?

and headed toward the Bossman feud?

that almost went to test or Kane?

 

man how could you NOT like that one???

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Nah, Parker didn't come in until a little later, with Sid. I think that was when they had a lot of heels coming in and targetting Simmons all at once (Barbarian, Atlas, One Man Gang). They just wound up together by chance. Slater had been with Murdoch, but Murdoch may have been hurt, or fired by that time.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

You also have to remember that Ron Simmons and Big Josh have a US title reign in there near the end too.

That was his 1st reign you mentioned.

 

I must throw in the 90 minute WCW Title reign by Sting. Why so quick of a change?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Is that the one where he beat, then lost it to DDP on Nitro? Early '99, right?

 

Kinda stupid to do that IMO as well, but remember, back then, they were desperate to get ahead in the ratings.

[Guest Frankie Williams]

Harvey Whippleman as womans champ.

Yup, that's the one

[Guest razazteca]

What about the short World Title reigns by Randy Savage in WCW.

[Guest eiker_ir]

Triple H winning the title at WM 18 wasn't a shock but keeping it for just a month it was.

 

losing it to Hogan and then Hogan losing it to Taker the next month.... : sigh :

 

during the Invasion with the LW belt and CW belt, one week X-Pac was the champion, then Kidman the next, then X-Pac, then Kidman, etc.

 

why don't just keep it with one for some time and then change the champ instead of every week?

[Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate]

Hugh Morrus was 1/2 of the WCW Tag Champs with Alex Wright because Disco Inferno (Wright's regular partner) was injured in a battle royal earlier that night. Of course, for WCW's intents and purposes, Morrus was never mentioned as having been involved in that match at all.

 

Otto Wanz's AWA Title reign in 1980(?) was kind of odd, but it makes sense in the rumor that he paid $5,000 to Verne for a title reign are true.

 

Eric Bischoff, WCW hardcore champion.

 

Goldberg/Bret Hart, WCW Tag Team champions.

 

Most of Crash Holly's Hardcore Title reigns, as well as those of Booker T and Shawn Stasiak (for approx. 5 mins. each during the Scottish house shows of last spring).

[Guest tank_abbott]

Ivan and Nikita Koloff and Baron Von Raskche NWA World 6 man champs

 

Russia and Germany on the same side!!! I don't think so!

 

Otto Wanz paid 50 grand BTW in 1982 for a 2 months reign

[Guest razazteca]

Crash Holly was the greatest Hardcore champ ever, now the Big Boss Man title reign was questionable.

 

24-7 rule was a great concept

Show is a three time world champion

 

beat Flair lost to Hogan

beat HHH (in a triple threat) lost to HHH

beat Lesnar lost to Angle

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Bagwell & Mom.

[Guest Human Fly]

The Mountie wins IC from Bret Hart when the Hitman has the flu (was he really sick during that mathc, or just an angle?) then a few days later Mountie loses IC to Piper (which was awesome).

 

I know why they did it, but when it happened I was shocked.

 

When D-Lo beat HHH for his first Euro title.

 

The U.S. title was a mess for a while going from Sasaki to One Man Gang to Konnan (who ended up keeping it for like 6 or 7 months)

He meant his first title reign in WWF/E, while you meant second title reign overall.

 

Just some lack of communication

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Bagwell & Mom.

I believe you mean Rick Steiner and Judy Bagwell. See also Rick Steiner and Kenny Kaos for some more Suck-ass WCW Tag Title Reign fun!

 

Mark Henry being handed the Euro title from Jeff Jarrett as payment for turning on D Lo Brown pretty much sucked also.
