Guest Askewniverse Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Didn't the CW Tags and World Tags get unified on the last show for WCW? thus making...Chris Benoit the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TAG TEAM CHAMPION. No. The two tag titles were never unified. On the final episode of Nitro (the last WCW show which you referred to), Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire retained the WCW Tag Titles over Lance Storm & Mike Awesome, while the Filthy Animals (Rey & Kidman) won the Cruiserweight Tag Titles from Kid Romeo & Elix Skipper.
deancoles Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 didn't MVC hold the WCW/IWGP/US TAG all at once? I know Gordy and Williams had the WCW and NWA tag belts but I'm not sure if they had any belts in Japan at the same time.
Lil' Bitch Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Posted April 28, 2004 *cough*HHH never held both at the same time*cough* Doesn't matter, he won the other belt. There's no other way around it. Oh yeah, forgot to mention Edge - Intercontinental and US Champion
TheBigSwigg Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 How have we gone this long without mentioning Ultimo Dragon and his 10 (I can't remember if it was ten or more) titles at once? Sheesh.
tbondrage99 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Lance Storm held several titles at once. Yeah Lance Storm held the WCW U.S. Title, Hardcore Title and Crusierweight title all at once. He renamed them all and gave Elix Skipper the Crusierweight title and Carl Oulette the hardcore title.
Youth N Asia Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Notice that when someone is just given a title they have a crap run with it. Mark Henry given the Eruo title Midean given the Euro title Oulette given the WCW Hardcore title HHH given the World title Kanyon (who I think is great) being given the US title And I don't remember Skipper's Cruiser run being anything special.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 The Rock held the WCW World Title and either the WCW or WWE tag straps with Jericho I believe.
ChrisMWaters Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Notice that when someone is just given a title they have a crap run with it. Mark Henry given the Eruo title Midean given the Euro title Oulette given the WCW Hardcore title HHH given the World title Kanyon (who I think is great) being given the US title And I don't remember Skipper's Cruiser run being anything special. What about Al Snow being given the Hardcore Title by British Bulldog. Or, in a way, The Rock being "Given" the Intercontinental title by Steve Austin?

But Rocky had a good run.
tekcop Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 How have we gone this long without mentioning Ultimo Dragon and his 10 (I can't remember if it was ten or more) titles at once? Sheesh. I always thought he had nine: J*Crown: IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title NWA Jr. Heavyweight Title WAR International Jr. Heavyweight Title British Commonwealth Jr. Heavyweight Title NWA Welterweight Title UWA Light Heavyweight Title WWA Jr. Light Heavyweight Title WWF Light Heavyweight Title Then he beat Dean Malenko for the WCW Cruiserweight Title. Was there a tenth?
Papacita Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 I haven't seen it listed yet, but Jericho held the Hardcore and Tag Team belts BRIEFLY in 01 when he beat Show (I think) for the belt, then lost it to Rhyno immediately afterwards. Also, 2 Cold Scorpio and the Sandman in 95 ECW. Scorp had the TV, won the tag belts for he and Sandman, then Sandman went on to win the World.
DangerousDamon Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 While this isn't exactly old school, AJ Styles was both the NWA World Champion and the RoH tag team champion.
cawthon777 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 didn't MVC hold the WCW/IWGP/US TAG all at once? They never held the US tag ... but the Steiners held all three at the same time in 91.

Guest The Notorious CRD Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 While this isn't exactly old school, AJ Styles was both the NWA World Champion and the RoH tag team champion. He also held the X Division and NWA Tag Team titles simultaneously. His partner was, I believe, Jerry Lynn.
ChrisMWaters Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Bumping this thread up. A more recent Double Champion: Rob Van Dam Held both the WWE and ECW Titles.
Guest jackie fargo Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Hulk Hogan held the WWF world title and the Japanese World title at the same time for over a year- He may be the only man of the last 30 or so years to hold two legitimate World titles-not including when the AWA and the UWF were folding and merged with other orgnizations in which Jerry Lawler won.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Keiji Mutoh with six Championships Hogan with his collection of titles Vader with the Triple Crown Ultimo Dragon with the J Crown Great Sasuke with the J Crown 4 Horsemen with the gold
World's Worst Man Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Hulk Hogan held the WWF world title and the Japanese World title at the same time for over a year- He may be the only man of the last 30 or so years to hold two legitimate World titles-not including when the AWA and the UWF were folding and merged with other orgnizations in which Jerry Lawler won. And which Japanese world title was this? Hogan never held the IWGP title or Triple Crown. Kojima held both the IWGP and Triple Crown just last year. I'd say that counts as holding two legitimate world titles. Keiji Muto and Taiyo Kea held both the IWGP Tag titles and AJPW double tag titles at the same time in 2001.
Bruce Blank Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Didn't Hogan win the IWGP tournament one year and that's often said to be the same as Hogan holding the IWGP title for a year.
World's Worst Man Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Yea, he won the first IWGP tournament, which pre-dated the IWGP heavyweight title by 4 years. It's a common misconception that Hogan was the first IWGP heavyweight champion, but the IWGP was only a tournament before the regular championship title was introduced in 1987.
MFer Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Here's a link to some more WWE double champions
Just John Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Kenta Kobashi held the GHC heavyweight and tag titles (with Tamon Honda) at the same time. Marufuji had the Jr. tag belts and Hardcore openweight belt too.
razazteca Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Lance Storm was WCW: July 18, 2000 - US Heavyweight Championship from a tourny done on Nitro he beat Bagwell, Douglas, Mike Awesome in the finals July 24, 2000 - Hardcore Champion beating Vito July 31, 2000 - Cruiserweight Champion beating Chavo Lance Storm put Canadian flag stickers on all the belts and renamed them Canadian Heavyweight Championship, Sasquashwon Heavyweight International Title, 100 kilos and under Championship.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 When Storm first came to WCW, won all those belts, started Team Canada and cut his "If I could be serious for a moment.." promos he was fucking awesome. One of my favorite things from that era of WCW.
razazteca Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 "It's not his fault that he was the best worker in the company" , "Its not his fault that politics killed the company" , "Its not his fault that everybody has stupid gimmicks" , Lance Storm was awesome back then. Not as great as his classic promo on Shane Douglas from ECW but better than the boring gimmick he was given in WWF. Saskatchewan perhaps? Nope, I was thinking of the Canadaian Bigfoot.
JST Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 Nope, I was thinking of the Canadaian Bigfoot. Cute. But the title actually was named after the canadian province.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 Lance Storm in WCW: His stable, aside from Awesome, who got lazy in WCW at times, was terrible. Storm was a solid worker. WCW lacked a lot of these. Storm was a terrible mic-worker. He appeared to be average in WCW. I hate to say this, because I think Storm's a really good worker, but his 2000-01 run is very overrated just because he was the proverbial hot new fish in a pond filled with crap.
The Buzz Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Didn't Vader hold a world championship at one point in three or four countries at once. Germany, Japan, USA, and England maybe. Something along those lines.
