Liam Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 On top of my A Wrestling Year project, I currently contribute to Kayfabe Today weekly with a column called Tracking The 'Real' World Champion. It is based on the concept of the Unnoficial Football World Champions, with the idea being who would be the champion if the World Cup was up for grabs in every football match involving the reigning champions? I took this idea, using the starting point of Chris Jericho's mini-tournament win to become the Undisputed Champion, and have been tracking who would technically be the champion if all matches involving the champion were title matches, and titles could change hands on any form of loss (DQ, CO loses the title for the champion, for example). I've done eight columns, and they are linked to below - do check it out. I think it is a fun concept, and there have been some interesting 'champions'. https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/02/26/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-one/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/tracking-the-real-world-champion/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/03/11/tracking-thereal-world-champion-part-three/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/03/18/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-four/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/tracking-the-real-world-champion-2/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/04/01/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-six/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-seven/ https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/04/15/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-eight/ I'll use this topic to update week by week, but check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Liam Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/04/29/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-ten/ Next part of the story with regards to the 'Real' World Champion. Brock Lesnar in 2002 is a beast. More news at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/05/06/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-eleven/ I get to talk about The Big Show vs Fabulous Moolah. Sure, it doesn't count as a title defense, but WWE 2002 ladies and gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/05/27/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-fifteen/ Brock Lesnar smushes some more people. Standard. https://kayfabetoday.wordpress.com/2016/06/03/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-fifteen-2/ Things take a turn for the odd - I did not see this one coming. Ignore that they both say 'fifteen' - one was numbered wrong when posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 My laziness is your luck as you get THREE articles for the price of one! Admittedly, they cover the last THREE weeks, but hey ho. http://kayfabetoday.com/index.php/2016/07/09/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-twenty/ Where people get thrown through spotlights. http://kayfabetoday.com/index.php/2016/07/15/traking-the-real-world-champion-part-twenty-one/ Where everyone loses titles all the time. http://kayfabetoday.com/index.php/2016/07/22/tracking-the-real-world-champion-part-twenty-one/ Where I take a three week break to head off to CANADIA moose spotting or some such. The last one is mislabelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
