Swift Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I've had a go at creating a linear World Heavyweight champion stemming from Orville Brown, the first recognised NWA champion in 1948. I've only used Cagematch for match results so it's a certainty that there are matches not listed on that site which would change this completely, but I was only doing it for a bit of fun rather than as any kind of serious document. Where a wrestler retires (or cagematch has no further matches listed) I take the title off them on the date of their last listed match and award it back to the previous champion as of that date. When it comes to multiple man matches, I just assume the champion was pinned in that match (I didn't count battle royals however) I didn't count matches won by DQ or countout as title switches. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. Deal with it.

SorceressKnight Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) If people think of linear titles, the other thing that helps is realizing "just what, in pro wrestling history, you can make linear possession of throughout wrestling history." (For that theory, the ground rules: The boon has to have been contested in a match. It has to be something that the winner could conceivably defend if they had to in battle, so no "one-time only" punishment matches need apply (so no "loser eats dog food, loser dresses in something you would not expect them to dress in, loser shaves his head/unmasks" matches.)

The business died with that six years that Tiger Jeet Singh was champion from 1998 to 2004. Matt Taven is just pissing on the grave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 This list is a fun idea. Wish the belt got onto Pagano and then passed around Mexican deathmatch promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, OctopusCinema said: Harley Race must have buttery fingers with how many times he dropped the title. This was interesting to follow as I was doing it. For periods, the Linear Title would follow the path of the actual NWA champion. What's happening here is that Race would go to a territory, lose a non-title match to the top star there and then come back for his win in the NWA title match. For the Linear title, those are title changes. Other interesting little tidbits: - Top guys are protected quite a bit. Thesz has a couple of lengthy reigns (although cagematch also has spotty records going back that far). Giant Baba holds it from 70-74 and then from 85-98 until he retires. In the latter reign, he mostly wrestled in tag matches, but didn't lose any single matches. Tiger Jeet Singh's lengthy reign has a patch of years of no wrestling matches so I'm guessing he retired and then came out of retirement? - The title then periodically follows the GHC Heavyweight Title for a while, before getting messy with multi-man matches in AAA, TNA and the UK indies. - The title barely touches WWF/E - Superstar Billy Graham holds it for a month, and then it gets defended in NXT UK.

Octopus Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm not really familiar with Taven or what his contract situation is with ROH. It'll be interesting going forward if this has the Linear World Champion follow the ROH belt or if he works and takes falls in random indies.

AxB Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Sorry for bumping the old thread, but I reckon it's pretty unlikely Matt Taven is still Champion of everything. Is there an up to date version @Swift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post it over the weekend if I remember. I thought this was a new topic and was dumbfounded that Taven hadn't lost a singles match in three years. I was something well beyond dumbfounded when I saw Taven's last singles loss was to Enzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 On 4/29/2019 at 8:55 PM, Swift said: I've had a go at creating a linear World Heavyweight champion stemming from Orville Brown, the first recognised NWA champion in 1948. I've only used Cagematch for match results so it's a certainty that there are matches not listed on that site which would change this completely, but I was only doing it for a bit of fun rather than as any kind of serious document. Where a wrestler retires (or cagematch has no further matches listed) I take the title off them on the date of their last listed match and award it back to the previous champion as of that date. When it comes to multiple man matches, I just assume the champion was pinned in that match (I didn't count battle royals however) I didn't count matches won by DQ or countout as title switches. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. Deal with it.

Swift Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I had a go at a tag title too. There were lots of stops and starts in the early years, firstly because cagematch records are obviously spotty, but also because tag partners are sometimes just together for a bit and then never wrestle together again.
