Lil' Bitch Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Just wondering when a champion has faced another champion on a TV show or PPV. Thanks in advance. From what I can remember at the moment... WWF/E Warrior / Hogan - WM VI Michaels / Hart - SSeries 1992 Diesel / Hart - KOTR 1994 Angle / Jericho - Rebellion 2001 Kane / HHH - 2002 WCW Goldberg / Hogan - Nitro 98 ECW Has there ever been a time?
Guest ravman77 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Dont remember exactly when, but I remember Bret dishing out a serious whipping on Raw to Golddust, not long after Goldy won his first IC belt.
El Gigante Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 WCW Booker T / Scott Steiner - Final Nitro
cawthon777 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 The Hogan / HTM match was in July of 89, so Honky was no longer champion. I don't know about JUST TV or PPV but here's a rundown as to what champions faced what champions... WWF World vs. IC Backlund vs. Patterson Backlund vs. Muraco Savage vs. Warrior Hogan vs. Warrior Warrior vs. Perfect Bret vs. HBK Yoko vs. Razor (not sure if both were title holders at the time but I think so ... it's on Razor's CHV) Bret vs. Diesel Diesel vs. Jarrett Bret vs. Goldust HBK vs. Goldust Sid vs. Triple H Austin vs. Rock Austin vs. Shamrock (not sure if Austin was champion at the time ... Raw) Angle vs. Jericho Triple H vs. Kane Hardcore vs. World RVD vs. Austin RVD vs. Angle RVD vs. Rock ...And RVD won them all, though they were either non-title or only for the Hardcore belt US vs. World Angle vs. Jericho WCW / NWA US vs. World Nikita Koloff vs. Flair Magnum TA vs. Flair Lex Luger vs. Flair Bill Goldberg vs. Hogan Ric Flair vs. Hogan (when Flair was US champ; Clash of the Champions) TV vs. World Bobby Eaton vs. Flair
Guest Sykotic2002 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 In March 1999 while Rey Mysterio Jr. was Cruiserweight Champion he faced Ric Flair for the World Title on Nitro from Panama City, FL. Also while DDP was U.S. Champion, he faced Sting for the World title in Nitro in April 1998. Just remembered to, In September 1999 T.V. Champion Chris Beniot lost to World Champion Sting on Nitro. That's the only other ones I can remember right now.
Guest Sykotic2002 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 PEOPLE! PEOPLE! How could we forget this certain World Champion v. Midcard Champion that happened on PPV. I mean footage has been shown on it so many times and it's always talked about. I just remembered it right now: SURVIVOR SERIES 1997: WWF Champion Bret Hart v. European Champion Shawn Michaels.
Fökai Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 World v. European. Undertaker v. Bulldog, 04.28.97
cawthon777 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 World vs. European Austin vs. Triple H
Guest Sykotic2002 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Are we counting NWATNA also? If we are then on September 18, 2002 NWA Champion Ron Killings beat X-Division Champion Jerry Lynn. They fought again the next week, but for Lynn's title that time. ECW ECW Champion Sandman v. TV Champion Rhino from the last PPV Guilty as Charged 2001.
Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 PEOPLE! PEOPLE! How could we forget this certain World Champion v. Midcard Champion that happened on PPV. I mean footage has been shown on it so many times and it's always talked about. I just remembered it right now: SURVIVOR SERIES 1997: WWF Champion Bret Hart v. European Champion Shawn Michaels. Holy Crap I forgot HBK was European champion. Maybe its because his reign was a joke. You are awarded one free banning for reminding us. Just kidding.
bob_barron Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 HTM v. Hogan Vader v. Hogan Flair v. Hogan Storm v. Booker T
cawthon777 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 HTM v. Hogan When did this take place?
JHawk Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 HTM v. Hogan When did this take place? They were scheduled for a title vs. title series (one at MSG, which would have aired on the MSG network), but Hogan lost the title to Andre a week before their first meeting.
cawthon777 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 WCW US vs. World Dustin vs. Vader Austin vs. Flair Rude vs. Sting
Papacita Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 I'm pretty sure Austin fought Matt Hardy in 2001 while he was European Champion.
bob_barron Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Didn't Honky and Hogan face off at house shows with Honky getting DQed??
WrestlingDeacon Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Do you count the big gold belt as a secondary title? Also, I believe the famous Flair vs. Windham match from Worldwide occurred while Windham was still the Western Heritage Champion.
cawthon777 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Didn't Honky and Hogan face off at house shows with Honky getting DQed?? I don't believe I've come across any bouts between the two save the SNME and an occasional tag match.
LucharesuFan619 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 In XPW, Messiah won the World Title while he was the Death Match champ.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 When ECW closed, Rhyno had both belts. He had the TV belt, which I believe he won from Super Crazy and then got the World Title, which so many guys had it toward the end, it wasn't Credible, I'm thinking not even Lynn, I think he got it from Sandman. He got a shot after threatening his wife or something, won it and then the company closed.
cawthon777 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 WCW TV vs. World Regal vs Flair
razazteca Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Flair vs Sting in an International vs World champ match at Clash of Champions.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Sid challenged Jeff Jarrett for the U.S. title when he was still World Champ in Feb 00 U.S. Champ DDP challenged Sting for the World Title in 98.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 NWA-TNA also saw Jerry Lynn and Ron Killings defend their belts against each other in their brief feud.
Guest Galactic Gigolo Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 World Champ Booker T and US Champ Lance Storm had two awesome Nitro matches back in the Russo days.
IWD Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 When ECW closed, Rhyno had both belts. He had the TV belt, which I believe he won from Super Crazy and then got the World Title, which so many guys had it toward the end, it wasn't Credible, I'm thinking not even Lynn, I think he got it from Sandman. He got a shot after threatening his wife or something, won it and then the company closed. Yep. From Sandman. OK.
yankovic fan Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 Bret Hart vs. Shawn Micheals, survivor series 1992.
kirk angel Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 not sure if this fits the world vs midcard champ category but... world and ic vs tag team champs diesel and hbk vs yokozuna and owen hart in that match where whoever scored the pin won the title of the person they pinned. i think it was called a triple crown match

I can't remember
