Cran Da Maniac Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 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 If we count that, then you also got to recognize Austin/Triple-H vs. Kane/Taker from 2001
kirk angel Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 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 think that's the match that British Bulldog subbed since Owen's baby was being born (possibly storyline?) and Owen showed up midmatch, got pinned, and the next night the Kliq had to relinquish the tag belts? I can't remember yeah i think owen and yokozuna had clarence mason as there attorney and he said that the titles couldnt change cause owen got pinned even though he wasnt officially in the match

reign Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 HBK/Diesel vs. The Headshrinkers IC vs Tag July 04?
JST Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Is that really the nameplate on JBL's title belt?? That looks like it's made with a sharpie.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 WWF Raw in Summer '96: World Champ HBK & IC Champ Ahmed Vs. Tag Champs Smokin' Gunns WWF early fall '01 smackdown - IC Champ Edge Vs. US Champ Kanyon (kanyon went over) raw - light hvy champ x-pac vs. cruiserweight champ kidman (x-pac goes over) Test/Edge at SS
Ced Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Is that really the nameplate on JBL's title belt?? That looks like it's made with a sharpie. I'm thinking they probably used a photo that still had Benoit's nameplate on it, somebody realized it and they quickly altered it. Which makes no sense seeing as how they have promotional pics of JBL with the correct nameplate on on the title. I'll just attribute it to sloppiness in that case. Not sure if it was televised but: European vs Intercontinental - D'Lo Brown d. Jeff Jarrett
JST Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 To add to the thread: I remember a few nothing matches on Raw & Smackdown that had the WWE vs Cruiserweight champs facing eath other, namely Matt Hardy vs Brock Lesnar or John Cena vs Chavo Guerrero.
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 World Champion Batista vs. Cruiserweight Champion Nunzio They even did the cool cage-lowering music before the match.
The Amazing Rando Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 World/IC vs. Tag Austin/HHH vs. Kane/Taker ... 2001. Led to the high point of "The Two Man Power Trip" before HHH's injury.
Papacita Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 I remember a match in ECW circa 95 with 2 Cold Scorpio, the TV Champ, defending against Rocco Rock, the Tag Champ. If Scorpio won, he and a partner of his choice would be the new tag champs.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Which Scorpio did win, and he chose Sandman. Leading to one of ECW most classic moments: The "dance-off" between TPE, 2 Gold, and Sandman. With Woman getting a "Go Woman!" chant.
Guest jm29195 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero vs Cruiser Champion Chavo Guerrero with Angle as guest ref on the SD after No Way Out 2004 IC Champion Jeff Jarrett vs European Champion DLo Brown on Rebellion 99 X Division Champion Jerry Lynn vs NWA Champion Ron Killings in TNA Decemberish 2002 IC Champ RVD vs Hardcore Champ Tommy Dreamer in a unification match on Raw in 2002 IC Champ RVD vs Euro Champ Jeff Hardy in a unification match on Raw in 2002 And I'm sure a few champion vs champion matches must have occured when Scott Hall went on a title grabbing rampage in WCW in late 99...
TheFranchise Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 I dont think i've seen it mentioned... Austin/Jericho would have technically been Title for Title from Vengeance in 2001, wouldn't it?
Special K Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 Rhyno actually won it from Tommy Dreamer, who finally got the belt... and promptly lost it the same night. Diesel (world) and Shawn (IC) vs Own and Yoko (tag) should count. EDIT: already mentioned. So should the Rock vs. The Dudleys handicap, I believe it was world vs tag titles (no belts on the line) Lance Storm certainly has a few in WCW, since he was US, TV, and Hardcore title all at once, I believe. I'm not even going to try to look up all the unification matches in Japan, the Triple Crown had to come from somewhere. And Ultimo Dragon won the WCW cruiser belt to briefly have a ridiculous 9 belts, I believe. EDIT: Actually, he had three belts, two of which were Cruiser and Hardcore for sure. I think the third was US, as the TV title was defunct at the time.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 Rhyno did not win the ECW Title from Dreamer, that was Justin Credible. The Rock Vs. The Dudley Boyz *WAS* for the WCW World Title, as Charles Robinson even tried to award the WCW title to the Dudleys (bullshit Alliance cheating) before a WWF referee stepped in to right things. Storm's would be: US Champ Storm Vs. Cruiser Lt. Loco US/Cruiser Storm Vs. Hardcore Big Vito US/Cruiser/Hardcore Storm Vs. World Booker T. Technically, "Two Dudes With Attitudes" against Camp Cornette (the World, IC, and Tag Titles) doesn't count, since the next night on Raw the match was officially deemed a non tag-title match.
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 Rhyno did not win the ECW Title from Dreamer, that was Justin Credible. Actually, he won it from Sandman who won it from Corino the very same night.
Naked Snake Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 IC Champ Owen Hart vs European Champ Shawn Michaels on Raw in October of '97 was a pretty good match.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Yes, "that was Credible" meaning Credible went over Dreamer who went over TazZ in the same night.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Here's a big one for you: 11-13-01 Smackdown: WWF Tag Champs The Hardy Boyz and WCW U.S. Champ Edge Vs. WCW Tag Champs The Dudley Boyz and WWF IC Champ Test

Shooting Star Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Don't know if this counts but... On the RAW the night after No Way Out Hardcore champ Big Show vs Kurt Angle vs World Champ the Rock
Guest Heel Heat Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 Tazz vs. HHH, when Tazz returned to ECW for a minute to win the title. I think this was on Smackdown.
Lil' Bitch Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Posted May 15, 2006 The Rock (Undisputed Champion) vs. Chris Benoit (IC Champion) on the August 13, 2002 edition of Smackdown.
Dobbs 3K Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but at King of the Ring '98, the New Age Outlaws vs New Midnight Express (Bart Gunn and Bob Holly), was WWF World Tag Team Champions vs NWA World Tag Team Champions (though only the Outlaws' belts were on the line).
JST Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 Did the announcers acknowledge much of the "history" between the Gunns for that one? I only remember Billy & Bart having a staredown as a bit of a nod to older fans.
Aero Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 JR didn't go into detail, but he did mention that they were "brothers".
Special K Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Yes, "that was Credible" meaning Credible went over Dreamer who went over TazZ in the same night. Wow, this is a clear case of misremembering things. I SWEAR Rhyno was the one to end Dreamer's one minute reign, but I am apparently very wrong. Weird.
