odessasteps Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 One of the things you learn about researching territory wrestling is how flawed many title histories, due to Phantom changes or switches only done in some of the towns in a promotion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Cagematch is ok but the site has some errors for some of the titles. Wiki is slow to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 When did the rest of the world hear about stuff like the Flair/Veneno PR switches? I read it in Flair's book as a high schooler but I'm sure it had to have come up in an Observer or something prior to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I think some were better know than others. IIRC, the New Zealand ones were known about at the time or soon after, but the Caribbean ones not until later. I seem to recall the Apter mags discussing some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'm surprised during those times when Flair was on the outs with WWE and Hunter and Shawn that he didn't just start counting those other Reigns. 16 is a good number but if I was in his shoes I'd be a big enough mark not to want any of these modern era guys close to my record if I was him. Plus it would probably get people to recognize Harley Races phantom title changes and whom ever else as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I think Flair is using either 18 or 21 now, because really, no one fucking knows what the real number is (because most of those are with a belt currently owned by Billy Corgan and, yeah.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisa's site (don't remember if that was an angelfire or geocities site) definitely had all double-changes (including the Colon double-change) besides the Veneno one listed in the late 90ies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I just come back from the WWE show in Birmingham, UK. Cody got on the mic after the main event and said he also wants Wrestlemania in the UK. https://youtu.be/7C9kfo6madY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sex Machine Gun Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I think it'd be cool to have it in East Asia but would that ruffle too many feathers to have one in, say, Tokyo? You all know a lot more about the Japanese dynamics and stuff than me. EDIT: Furthermore, did they announce next year's location during the show this year and I missed it? I know Minneapolis was heavily rumored but haven't seen anything since the rumor article. Edited April 17 by Sex Machine Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think they avoid running Wrestlemania outside of the NA due to logistics and time differences. They would probably test out Summerslam, Royal Rumble, or Survivor Series first before they did Wrestlemania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think it was on BTS this week they were saying one reason the WWE hasn’t dome Wembley is they would prob not get a site fee from the host city as they do with Mania and some of the sold shows internationally (Perth, most recently). And with the company on a (real or perceived) hot streak, they likely aren’t going to turn down a North American city willing to pony up the dough to host Mania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
