HumanChessgame Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 How often has the world title changed hands on Raw?

steve Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Austin won it from Taker on RAW once, I believe. Edit: Actually, it's happened a lot. http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/all-world-championship-changes-on-raw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head - Triple H's first win in August of 1999 - Triple H's third win in January of 2000 - Rey Mysterio winning the WWE Championship tournament - John Cena defeating Rey Mysterio after the aforementioned tournament I'm probably missing something REALLY obvious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I just rewatched the Cesaro/Reigns match on Raw en Espanol and thought to myself "you know, one good thing about Cesaro is unlike a lot of other guys, he's hasn't had any major injuries so far. If he keeps it up he can be their workhorse for awhile, no matter where he is on the card." Goddammit. Now I feel like I cursed my favorite current in-ring worker by daring to think.

The Nature Boy Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 And that covers some ground. Are we including the 2000 Jericho/HHH non-switch in that? I'm not sure if Jericho was ready for the belt yet but it would've been interesting to see him thrown into the Rock-HHH feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yeah, that was dumb too. One could argue that the ending of tonight's PPV belongs in that category as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red is Dead Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Here's a random thought that came into my head that I'm ineffectively going to put down here. once taker retires, do you think he'll be drawn towards the performance centre by the higher ups in a vain attempt to train some of the new breed of big lads coming through the system? Or do you reckon he's going to cut all ties, say fuck it and retire to become a grizzled old "get off my lawn" type dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Taker is supposed to be a massive real estate mogul so I'd imagine he'd walk away fully. If we never get Sting v Taker can we at least get Real Estate Steve vs Real Estate Mark with IRS as special referree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm really amazed the crowds didn't fully turn on Cena after he screwed over Rey like that. Cena's done a lot of dick moves in his career, but that one surely is at the top of the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you reckon he's going to cut all ties, say fuck it and retire to become a grizzled old "get off my lawn" type dude? I think he'll serve a similar function as HBK. He'll show up on TV occasionally or stop by the performance center for a pep talk, but he's not going to be invested in creative or development. It'll just be doing favors from time to time.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 How do all these indy dudes like the Young Bucks perform crazy moves every night and never injure themselves? Guys who work a more grounded style tear something and are out for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 How do all these indy dudes like the Young Bucks perform crazy moves every night and never injure themselves? Guys who work a more grounded style tear something and are out for a year. They probably work through some pretty fucked up injuries and are incredibly broken down. Daniel Bryan is somewhat an example of how the indy style really wears you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
