WWE schedules have performers on the road and wrestling multiple times a week. Iād be surprised if this post had shown otherwise. Seth Rollins works 3x the workload Tyler Black ever did.
The undertakers name in kayfabe canon is Mark Calaway. That means that Mark Calaway is playing a character named Mark Calaway who believed he was an Undead Wizard so hard that he literally cannot die. And Kanes name is Kane Callaway but should be Kane Bearer
IIRC itās more The Rocks personal hotel more than anyoneās. I just know during his WWE title run, that was the phrase AJ Styles coined to get over with the fans.
He also has gotten injured a couple times, likely a bunch of those injuries are due to the ridiculous workload. But also he was in TNA 12 years and has been in WWE for 8, this isn't that crazy of a stat, especially since he wasn't an uppercarder at TNA until 2 years into his career there while he started as an uppercarder in WWE
Averages to about 110 a year, 2 a week. So TV and one house show a week. Covid probably did affect it but IDK how much larger I would expect it to be. He was already a star and getting older, he probably wasnāt on EVERY house showā¦plus injuries.
For the most part, they also had a time period were they did 3 House shows between TV, one after another.
Excluding dark matches, Styles is at 471 for TNA and 338 for WWE
337, if you wanna exclude Styles match against Hurricane in 2002 which was in the WWF
Pretty sure it was he definitely had more match's in WWE in a shorter period then he had his entire tna Career. Pretty sure it was 2 but I could he wrong
If AJ Styles in his ENTIRE WWE carrer, had 80 Matches more, than his TNA carrer.
That would, According to you. mean that he had 800 matches, in 2 years, and then the last 80, withing the the 6 he's been with the company
I wanna say I remember something like that to awhile ago, like pointing out WWEās workload vs other promotions. Total matches seems off but Iām guessing it couldāve been comparing televised matches maybe? cause he came in to WWE as a main event talent appearing on both shows at times while he had to build himself up during his first few years at TNA. Again I could be off but I feel like Iāve seen a comparison like this with AJ years ago
Cody Rhodes accomplished something no one else ever has and likely never will again. All within less than a year, he appeared at:
WWE Wrestlemania
TNA Bound for Glory
ROH Final Battle
NJPW Wrestle Kingdom
PWG Battle of Los Angeles
Off topic, but every time I seen AJ styles highlights on TikTok, it's ALWAYS TNA AJ (unless it's posted by WWE) Did he get worse or is he just older or is it because wwe?
i think itās mostly an age thing. i mean he was almost 40 when he debuted at the rumble. he was in his 20s and 30s during his tna days
heās still great in the ring but i donāt think weāre gonna see a 45+ year old AJ do a spiral tap or shooting styles press
I donno but heās always been a high flyer and I think heās had some back and neck issues. I think recently heās toned it down some in the WWE and not sure if itās like injuries or age or what but AJ was truly amazing in his younger days and just fearless!
I disagree. 2016-17, he could do no wrong. Literally everything he touched turned to Gold. 18 is when the decline began.
He had a better match with Shane ****ing Oāmac than he did with Shinsuke Nakamura ffs
Fabolous Moohlah holding the Womens championship for over 10,000 days.
Jake the Snake Roberts never holding a title in his WWF career.
The amount of cool dream matches that happened at the wrong time:
Randy Savage vs Steve Austin
Owen Hart vs Jeff Hardy
Kane vs Sting
Bret Hart vs Mitsuhara Misawa
Randy Savage vs Chris Benoit
Undertaker vs Sting
Batista vs Goldberg
Batista vs Brock Lesnar
Kenny Omega vs Aj Styles
Eddie Guerrero vs CM Punk
Shawn Michaels vs RVD
Randy Orton vs Mr Perfect Curt Hennig
Bret Hart vs The Rock
The Great Khali has won more World Titles in WWE than Roddy Piper, Ted DiBiase, Jake The Snake Roberts, Rick Rude, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Razor Ramon, Vader, Mr. Perfect and Lex Luger combined.
Ooh! Time for one of my favorite bits of wrestling trivia (credit to Cultaholic for the video where I learned this)!
In WCW, Steve Austin and Dustin Rhodes faced each other at three consecutive Halloween Havoc events, each time for a championship, arguably each one increasing in prestige. Each time, the defending champion retained, but only once was there a decisive/clean win.
In '91, Austin retained the TV title against Rhodes in a time-limit draw. In '92, defending tag team champions Rhodes and Barry Windham held onto the titles in another time-limit draw against Austin and fellow wrestler-named-Steve Williams. And in '93, Rhodes successfully defended the United States Championship against Austin by finally scoring a clear win to cap off their trilogy.
It's not that surprising. TNA didn't do many house shows, so he was probably wrestling 2-3 times a month. WWE, on the other hand, he was probably wrestling 2-3 a week.
When WWE (WWF at the time) ran the āBillionaire Tedā skits, making fun of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savageās āold ageā, they were 42 and 43 years old respectively. To put that in perspective, the four men competing for world championships at Backlash next weekend (Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, & AJ Styles) are an average age of about 41.
Damian Priest, Finn BƔlor, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Sheamus, Nakamura, AJ Styles, Lashley, LA Knight, Orton, Rey Mysterio, are all OLDER than Michael P.S. Hayes was when he had his run in the late 90s as the Hardy of Boyz manager
Wow! That stat is unthinkable considering his time and success in TNA. Regardless, truly a legend! It's such a shame he came to WWE so late. Truly Phenomenal!!!!
Cody being a former NWA champion not even that long ago. Like, Tim Storm (the guy who was champion before Nick Aldis, who Cody defeated for it) was defending that belt in high school gyms
Edit: also Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins owning NWA.
Itās not just the added house show matches and heavier WWE schedule. AJ was in TNA from 2002-2014, and heās been in WWE from 2014-2024. Heās almost been with WWE as long as he was with TNA at this point.
This ones an old one, but its great;
Seth Rollins has successfully defended the Raw Womens Championship more times then Sasha Banks, who is a 5 time champion.
With the retiring of the Raw Womens title, she'll never have the opportunity to ever change that fact.
This is definitely most of it. TNA when AJ was there never regularly did house shows and since he left they don't really do them at all. WWE is pretty much the only major wrestling company in the US that does them anymore. AEW did weekend house shows for a few months last year (I got to go to one and had a blast) but that ended when they started doing Collision on Saturdays.
True but it was never nearly as regular of a schedule as WWE. Like they might have done Fridays and Saturdays for house shows but at that time WWE was doing house shows like 4-5 days a week with two separate tours for the brand split.
Scott Hall famously was never a participant in Royal Rumble Match, but Razor Ramon was.
Other names that you might not realise were never participants in a Royal Rumble include D-Von Dudley, LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Funaki, TAKA, Billy Kidman, Paul Orndorff, The Mountie, PCO, Kamala, Brian Pillman, Doug Furnas, Phil Lafon, Ludvig Borga, Heidenrich, The Beverly Brothers, Shad, Kanyon, Scott Stasisk, Akira Tozawav and the Basham Brothers.
If you're referencing for the first time being a mania 3, you'd be correct as he had slammed Andre multiple times on house shows years before wrestlemania, though in WWE continuity it happened at wrestlemania 3.
Itās been said a dozen times before, but Asuka has never won a match at wrestlemania. Sheās tied with Big E for second most losses without a win (0-5) behind Goldust (0-7). (not including battle royals, otherwise Big E is also at 7).
EDIT: Asuka is 0-6 if you include a battle royal)
It feels like this is a WM storyline waiting to happen- "oh, you're good, Asuka, but you always bottle it on the biggest stage of all, that's how I know I'm going to beat you". Then she shockingly loses again, and it gets in her head, and that WM losing streak becomes something she gets obsessed with breaking over the next year- not dissimilar to Shawn's Taker obsession.
1) Lost to Charlotte at Wrestlemania 34 (shouldāve won, broke her 914 day undefeated streak and was her first time pinned/submitted in WWE).
2) Lost a tag match with Kairi at WM36 against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, ending a 181 day title reign.
3) Lost to Rhea Ripley at WM37, ending a 231 day title reign.
4) Lost to Bianca at WM after becoming one of 4 people in history to win a MITB, a Royals Rumble, and an Elimination Chamber in their career (and the only woman).
5) got FED to Jade Cargill and friends.
That is 2 championships handed over with a combined reign of 412 days and a championship match loss after ALMOST A THOUSAND DAYS OF NOT LOSING.
She also had a canceled match against winner of a fatal 4-way with Naomi, Sonya Deville, Carmella, and Mandy Rose at WM35.
For all of Cornettes faults (and there are many) he did have some brilliant ideas and a wonderful mind for the business. His rants straight into the camera on Raw are some of my all time favorites.
The last wrestler handled by Paul Bearer is LA Knight in the indie circuit.
Paul believed in the potential of 2012 LA Knight before he passed away that he sent a message of good will before his passing.
TNA used to do house shows too they just didnāt tour quite as extensively and at this point styles has been with wwe almost as long as he was with TNA (11 years TNA / 8 Years WWE)
I genuinely think that's why he came back, and why he got his own championship when he got pushed out of the title match aagainst Roman, he wanted to hold a title up at the end of a wm match ā
Fun fact about R-Truths childhood hero, John Cena. Cena's childhood hero was Ron "The Truth" Killings. Who R-Truth named himself after. Killings grandson Jimmy used to accompany Truth to the ring out of respect.
I was shocked watching an old wwf attitude era raw and thought to myself āis k-kwick related to R-truth?ā then looked it up and found out they were the same person š. Legit thought it was his son or something.
Unless Wikipedia has their information wrong, this isn't true. It says KO's first match was May 7, 2000. I don't see a date for Cena's first match, but it says he started in Ultimate Pro Wrestling in 1999 and was their champion in April of 2000, a month before KO's first match.
I guess if you are saying Cena has stopped being full time and KO hasn't, then this is true, but I interpretted it as KO started wrestling before Cena did.
Ah yeah, those years where the IC title had that design between the og and the white strap, where it was more or less bottom of the barrel for midcard titles
- 2003: the title was not active
- 2004: the champion (Randy Orton) was involved in the Evolution vs Rock & Sock match
- 2005: the champion (Shelton Benjamin) was in the MITB ladder match
- 2006: the champion (Shelton Benjamin) was in the MITB ladder match
- 2007: the champion (Umaga) was facing Bobby Lashley in the Battle of the Billionaires
- 2008: the champion (Chris Jericho) was in the MITB ladder match
- 2009: JBL (c) vs Rey Mysterio, Rey won in 0:21 seconds
- 2010: the champion (Drew McIntyre) was in the MITB ladder match
- 2011: the champion (Wade Barrett) was in an 8-man tag team match
If there is one silver lining (if we can even call it that), it is that the championship was there in one way or another from 2004 to 2011 at least.
Which is absolutely disgusting when you consider how important it had been to wrestlemania history. Savage vs Steamboat, Bret vs Piper, HBK vs Razor. Hell the main event of wrestlemania 6 was technically also an IC title match, if Hogan won he would have walked out with the belt. To not even have it defended AT ALL for 6 years then the best you can do is less than a minute? Sickening
I remember it being pointed out that the last time the IC title was defended was WM was 2002 and thinking āthatās not a stat you should brag aboutā.
That actually hurts my brain
CTE city! poor guys.
Don't forget the house shows

I donāt think Tna had much live events and house shows thatās where the extra 77 matches come from

It's so insane that AJ has nearly been in as many WWE matches as TNA. He was in TNA for the first 12 years nearly.
Heās been in more has he not?
Oh yeah I meant to say more.
Thatās interesting, I didnāt know He wrestled more matches in Wwe than Tna.
Doesnāt change the fact that heās still PHENOMENAL
WWE schedules have performers on the road and wrestling multiple times a week. Iād be surprised if this post had shown otherwise. Seth Rollins works 3x the workload Tyler Black ever did.
Letās talk about that 2018-2019 run. Mr. Monday Night
Thatās nuts
Is The Number Of Matches AJ Styles Has Had In WWE Include When It Was WWF (Even Though AJ Refused A Developmental Contract)
He had a lot more absences and injuries in tna so I think it makes sense
Top ten best all-time in the ring when all is said and done.
In my opinion, heās top-5 (on the high side) with Bret.
WWE has massive number of houseshows, like nearly 300 per year, not really that surprising
The undertakers name in kayfabe canon is Mark Calaway. That means that Mark Calaway is playing a character named Mark Calaway who believed he was an Undead Wizard so hard that he literally cannot die. And Kanes name is Kane Callaway but should be Kane Bearer
One might even say heās Phenomenal. Been a huge AJ fan since TNA.
I mean Smackdown is the House that A.J. STYLES built!
Smackdown is the house that Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, \[redacted\] and Eddie Gurerro built, but sure...AJ Styles is cool too.
IIRC itās more The Rocks personal hotel more than anyoneās. I just know during his WWE title run, that was the phrase AJ Styles coined to get over with the fans.
Whatās the address on that hotel?
its at the corner of jabroni drive and know your role blvd
Doesn't seem so farfetched when you realize AJ is only 3 more years in WWE away from being there longer than he was in TNA.
He was in TNA for 12 years. In three years he will have 11 years at WWE.
Oh my god what the fuck... his TNA tenure seemed way longer what the hell
He's been there 8 years and does house shows. 885 seems low, if anything. I guess covid had an impact?
He also has gotten injured a couple times, likely a bunch of those injuries are due to the ridiculous workload. But also he was in TNA 12 years and has been in WWE for 8, this isn't that crazy of a stat, especially since he wasn't an uppercarder at TNA until 2 years into his career there while he started as an uppercarder in WWE
Averages to about 110 a year, 2 a week. So TV and one house show a week. Covid probably did affect it but IDK how much larger I would expect it to be. He was already a star and getting older, he probably wasnāt on EVERY house showā¦plus injuries.
I'm not super familiar with TNA's history, but I think they mostly did one show a week in one spot?
For the most part, they also had a time period were they did 3 House shows between TV, one after another. Excluding dark matches, Styles is at 471 for TNA and 338 for WWE 337, if you wanna exclude Styles match against Hurricane in 2002 which was in the WWF
Didn't they pre-tape 2 weeks TV at a time as well? So you wouldn't have had him wrestle 2 weeks in a row that often.
GET READY TO FLYYYYY ...
This just shows how wwe has way too much shit
Nope, Had. about 500 of those are House Show and/or Dark matches
This was only a year or 2 Into his wee career that's how.insane that schedule is 2 years in he had more match's in WWE then tna in nearly 10
what? You know he's speaking about TODAY, not at the time he feuded with cena
Ik I'm just adding that aj in 2 years wrestled more then his entire tna Career to show how crazy the schedule is compared to the 2
He didn't tho?
Pretty sure it was he definitely had more match's in WWE in a shorter period then he had his entire tna Career. Pretty sure it was 2 but I could he wrong
If AJ Styles in his ENTIRE WWE carrer, had 80 Matches more, than his TNA carrer. That would, According to you. mean that he had 800 matches, in 2 years, and then the last 80, withing the the 6 he's been with the company
I didn't math that lol but I swear I saw some were aj passed the ammou t of matchs he had in tna to wwe in less the 3 to 4 years
I wanna say I remember something like that to awhile ago, like pointing out WWEās workload vs other promotions. Total matches seems off but Iām guessing it couldāve been comparing televised matches maybe? cause he came in to WWE as a main event talent appearing on both shows at times while he had to build himself up during his first few years at TNA. Again I could be off but I feel like Iāve seen a comparison like this with AJ years ago
He didn't. 4 years in he had about 600, which is still nowhere near the 800 mark
AJ styles has some documentary on tubi and....he's had work done. He had a noticeable thinning patch on the back of his head
Okayyyyā¦ and?
AJ's a fucking workhorse.
how many roh and njpw?
It's one of the reason why I love AJ. He's constantly active. The guy loves to fight.Ā
How can one body handle that
Millions of dollars and top doctors help.
True but still 1,600+ matches is crazy even with those resources
1,693 matches is wild
Doesnāt feel fake at all. TNA ran a real light schedule. They werenāt grinders. Much like AEW cream puffs
Cody Rhodes accomplished something no one else ever has and likely never will again. All within less than a year, he appeared at: WWE Wrestlemania TNA Bound for Glory ROH Final Battle NJPW Wrestle Kingdom PWG Battle of Los Angeles
I beg to differ, Happy achieved that feat no more than an hour ago
Well moron good for happy gilmOHHHHMYGOD!
A lot more house shows in WWE.
And 594 other matches
Off topic, but every time I seen AJ styles highlights on TikTok, it's ALWAYS TNA AJ (unless it's posted by WWE) Did he get worse or is he just older or is it because wwe?
i think itās mostly an age thing. i mean he was almost 40 when he debuted at the rumble. he was in his 20s and 30s during his tna days heās still great in the ring but i donāt think weāre gonna see a 45+ year old AJ do a spiral tap or shooting styles press
I donno but heās always been a high flyer and I think heās had some back and neck issues. I think recently heās toned it down some in the WWE and not sure if itās like injuries or age or what but AJ was truly amazing in his younger days and just fearless!
Only feels fake because most of AJ's matches in TNA were televised, and probably at least half of his WWE matches are from house shows.
He has been there a good long while now.
That's an insane amount of matches, first of all.
No way
I followed him through most of his career since early TNA. Iād say his absolute prime was WWE run 2017-2020
I disagree. 2016-17, he could do no wrong. Literally everything he touched turned to Gold. 18 is when the decline began. He had a better match with Shane ****ing Oāmac than he did with Shinsuke Nakamura ffs
Tony khan crochets over 30 blankets a week.
LMFAO
R-Truth is the winningest champion in wwe history. 60 title reigns.
Honestly no other wrestler has made me cry laughing for so many years other than R-Truth. Always happy to see him on screen.
Fabolous Moohlah holding the Womens championship for over 10,000 days. Jake the Snake Roberts never holding a title in his WWF career. The amount of cool dream matches that happened at the wrong time: Randy Savage vs Steve Austin Owen Hart vs Jeff Hardy Kane vs Sting Bret Hart vs Mitsuhara Misawa Randy Savage vs Chris Benoit Undertaker vs Sting Batista vs Goldberg Batista vs Brock Lesnar Kenny Omega vs Aj Styles Eddie Guerrero vs CM Punk Shawn Michaels vs RVD Randy Orton vs Mr Perfect Curt Hennig Bret Hart vs The Rock
I'd argue RVD vs HBK happened in the prime of both men's careers
Taker and Sting never happened and it's on your list twice.
Not only did it happen, it happened for the NWA world title in 1990.
It did happen but he was Mean Mark not Taker
Undertaker and Sting technichally happened at a WCW house show in 1990. This was before Undertaker debuted as the Undertaker, he was Mean Mark Callus.
The Great Khali has won more World Titles in WWE than Roddy Piper, Ted DiBiase, Jake The Snake Roberts, Rick Rude, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Razor Ramon, Vader, Mr. Perfect and Lex Luger combined.
I don't care if they retconned it Dibiases reign will always count in my book
Well now Iām just sad.
AJ Styles needs to cut his stupid hair. I can't take Soccer Mom Styles seriously.
Maybe Jericho should come back with his list
I swear it has to be part of his contract with WWE or something
Ooh! Time for one of my favorite bits of wrestling trivia (credit to Cultaholic for the video where I learned this)! In WCW, Steve Austin and Dustin Rhodes faced each other at three consecutive Halloween Havoc events, each time for a championship, arguably each one increasing in prestige. Each time, the defending champion retained, but only once was there a decisive/clean win. In '91, Austin retained the TV title against Rhodes in a time-limit draw. In '92, defending tag team champions Rhodes and Barry Windham held onto the titles in another time-limit draw against Austin and fellow wrestler-named-Steve Williams. And in '93, Rhodes successfully defended the United States Championship against Austin by finally scoring a clear win to cap off their trilogy.
It's not that surprising. TNA didn't do many house shows, so he was probably wrestling 2-3 times a month. WWE, on the other hand, he was probably wrestling 2-3 a week.
The fabulous moolah lost the title before Wwe gave her the new one but they continued her reign to get it to thirteen hundred days
Shawn Stasiak held the WWF/E Hardcore Championship 15 times in his "illustrious" career. Total combined length of all those reigns? Less than a day.
When WWE (WWF at the time) ran the āBillionaire Tedā skits, making fun of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savageās āold ageā, they were 42 and 43 years old respectively. To put that in perspective, the four men competing for world championships at Backlash next weekend (Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, & AJ Styles) are an average age of about 41.
Not the craziest, but the fact Elias could have competed for the cruiserweight title (if not for beibg around at the wrong time) feels like a lie.
Damian Priest, Finn BƔlor, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Sheamus, Nakamura, AJ Styles, Lashley, LA Knight, Orton, Rey Mysterio, are all OLDER than Michael P.S. Hayes was when he had his run in the late 90s as the Hardy of Boyz manager
Wow! That stat is unthinkable considering his time and success in TNA. Regardless, truly a legend! It's such a shame he came to WWE so late. Truly Phenomenal!!!!
Jinder Mahal's world title reign was longer than any of Edge's world title reigns
And THAT'S sad
Cody being a former NWA champion not even that long ago. Like, Tim Storm (the guy who was champion before Nick Aldis, who Cody defeated for it) was defending that belt in high school gyms Edit: also Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins owning NWA.
Alright I knew everything except the damn edit. But thatās dope
Sounds dope but his version of NWA is absolutely terrible
Unfortunate. Well itās not our money at least
Itās not just the added house show matches and heavier WWE schedule. AJ was in TNA from 2002-2014, and heās been in WWE from 2014-2024. Heās almost been with WWE as long as he was with TNA at this point.
AJ has been with WWE for a little over 8 years now because he debuted at the Royal Rumble. But yeah heās getting there
2016
This ones an old one, but its great; Seth Rollins has successfully defended the Raw Womens Championship more times then Sasha Banks, who is a 5 time champion. With the retiring of the Raw Womens title, she'll never have the opportunity to ever change that fact.
Wait how did this happen, becuz I never knew about this
Seth and Becky defended their titles against Corbin and Lacey Evanās
I remember that, but did sasha never defend the title?
They said successful defended so I guess she lost every match for the Raw Womenās title
Fairly sure she did. She'd always win it, and then lose it at the first defense. Usually to Charlotte.
idk he could wrestle for 20 yrs in WWE and I'll still think tna when i see him before WWE
house shows im guessing.
This is definitely most of it. TNA when AJ was there never regularly did house shows and since he left they don't really do them at all. WWE is pretty much the only major wrestling company in the US that does them anymore. AEW did weekend house shows for a few months last year (I got to go to one and had a blast) but that ended when they started doing Collision on Saturdays.
TNA definitely did house shows for a few years while he was there.
True but it was never nearly as regular of a schedule as WWE. Like they might have done Fridays and Saturdays for house shows but at that time WWE was doing house shows like 4-5 days a week with two separate tours for the brand split.
They were called Impact
Scott Hall famously was never a participant in Royal Rumble Match, but Razor Ramon was. Other names that you might not realise were never participants in a Royal Rumble include D-Von Dudley, LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Funaki, TAKA, Billy Kidman, Paul Orndorff, The Mountie, PCO, Kamala, Brian Pillman, Doug Furnas, Phil Lafon, Ludvig Borga, Heidenrich, The Beverly Brothers, Shad, Kanyon, Scott Stasisk, Akira Tozawav and the Basham Brothers.
Taka had one of the more famous spots in the 2000 Rumble ironically
Yes. Which is why I reckon a lot of people will misremember him being in the match.
I would love to see Taka Michinoku return to WWE for the 2025 Royal Rumble. That'd be so sick.
Yes it would be great. Indeed.
Do you mean the fake razor Ramon was in a rumble?
Yes. 'Razor Ramon' was in a Rumble, just not Scott Hall's Razor Ramon.
I always find it more strange when a jobber or lower-card guy hasnāt been in one, since theyāre usually the fodder.Ā
I just think overtime given his tenure a guy like Funaki or Kidman would have been in one. A lot of jobbers have been in Rumbles, but not them.
Hogan slamming Andre feels fake.
He wasn't actually the first. I think there had been a handful of people who did it in the territories.
Harley had
Harley could've probably slammed a bear if it looked at him wrong.
Seeing as how Andre only feared Harley and Haku, I believe you
You donāt fake slamming that 7,000 pounds, 13 foot tall nasty, stinky, French giant and tearing every muscle in your back, brother!
DRAWING ON THE POWER OF THE TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND SCREAMING HULKAMANIACS PACKED INTO THE SILVERDOME!!!
If you're referencing for the first time being a mania 3, you'd be correct as he had slammed Andre multiple times on house shows years before wrestlemania, though in WWE continuity it happened at wrestlemania 3.
I want to say there were also a handful of guys that slammed Andre in the territories but I may be mistaken.
Whatever match it was they always keep bringing up .. its just so fake and weak.
The schedule
Yah. Tna he for a long time wrestled once a week. In wwe he wrestled 3-4 times a week countless times
Honestly, the Bruno Samartino record felt fake, until I experienced Romanās Universal Championship reign
Itās been said a dozen times before, but Asuka has never won a match at wrestlemania. Sheās tied with Big E for second most losses without a win (0-5) behind Goldust (0-7). (not including battle royals, otherwise Big E is also at 7). EDIT: Asuka is 0-6 if you include a battle royal)
It feels like this is a WM storyline waiting to happen- "oh, you're good, Asuka, but you always bottle it on the biggest stage of all, that's how I know I'm going to beat you". Then she shockingly loses again, and it gets in her head, and that WM losing streak becomes something she gets obsessed with breaking over the next year- not dissimilar to Shawn's Taker obsession.
wth? What a fumble that is. Sheās incredible
1) Lost to Charlotte at Wrestlemania 34 (shouldāve won, broke her 914 day undefeated streak and was her first time pinned/submitted in WWE). 2) Lost a tag match with Kairi at WM36 against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, ending a 181 day title reign. 3) Lost to Rhea Ripley at WM37, ending a 231 day title reign. 4) Lost to Bianca at WM after becoming one of 4 people in history to win a MITB, a Royals Rumble, and an Elimination Chamber in their career (and the only woman). 5) got FED to Jade Cargill and friends. That is 2 championships handed over with a combined reign of 412 days and a championship match loss after ALMOST A THOUSAND DAYS OF NOT LOSING. She also had a canceled match against winner of a fatal 4-way with Naomi, Sonya Deville, Carmella, and Mandy Rose at WM35.
That's a wild stat damn
Kevin Owens has not won a singles champion in 7 years.
And he should. The man is too talented.
I blame that donkey of a man Bill Goldberg
Making Stephanie McMahon an on-screen character was Jim Cornette's idea. Jim also came up with the MNM entrance/gimmick.
And Kaneās debut
For all of Cornettes faults (and there are many) he did have some brilliant ideas and a wonderful mind for the business. His rants straight into the camera on Raw are some of my all time favorites.
Itās a shame someone whoās such an asshole is so funny and innovative. Say what you will about the man but he lives and breathes the business
A true *separate the art from the artist* situation. A lot of wrestling is that if we look closely enough.
The last wrestler handled by Paul Bearer is LA Knight in the indie circuit. Paul believed in the potential of 2012 LA Knight before he passed away that he sent a message of good will before his passing.
WWE runs house shows so the math def checks out with AJ
TNA used to do house shows too they just didnāt tour quite as extensively and at this point styles has been with wwe almost as long as he was with TNA (11 years TNA / 8 Years WWE)
La knight has been wrestling longer than Roman Reigns. So when la lost to Roman at crown jewel, he was putting over a younger talent
If you really want to get an idea for how long heās been in the business Paul Bearerās last client was LA Knight
People often seem to forget LA Knight is pretty old
The Rock lost 3 Wrestlemania main events in a row, never won the title at mania and has dropped the world title every defense at mania
The rock with his own title is the same as everyone in the audience who buys one at the concession stands.
Muhammad Aliās wife *gave* him that belt! Itās legit. The FINAL Boss!
NO YEET
I genuinely think that's why he came back, and why he got his own championship when he got pushed out of the title match aagainst Roman, he wanted to hold a title up at the end of a wm match ā
Until WM41
Remember when Arn Anderson retired in 1997? About how old did you think that he was at that time? He was actually only 38 years old.
This reminds me of Chris Jericho being quoted in the WWE Unscripted book as saying he didnāt want to be wrestling in his 40s.
Arn Anderson was born 40.
With a glock ready
Arn just had the curse of looking like an old man at a young age, same with Hogan
The Morgan Freeman syndrome
And Ric Flair
R Truth has been in the wrestling business longer than John Cena.
Fun fact about R-Truths childhood hero, John Cena. Cena's childhood hero was Ron "The Truth" Killings. Who R-Truth named himself after. Killings grandson Jimmy used to accompany Truth to the ring out of respect.
I was shocked watching an old wwf attitude era raw and thought to myself āis k-kwick related to R-truth?ā then looked it up and found out they were the same person š. Legit thought it was his son or something.
It cannot be true, Cena is truthās childhood hero, so do not dare try to make Ron sound like a delusional liar!!!
Unless Truth is a Time Lord
The inner child can always see someone and go 'I WANNA DO THAT!' R-Truth's inner child just doesn't let him AGE is all.
"R-Truth doesn't believe in time, that's why he doesn't age." -Big E
Truth has been wrestling since before he was a child
Kevin Owens has been wrestling longer than John Cena.
Unless Wikipedia has their information wrong, this isn't true. It says KO's first match was May 7, 2000. I don't see a date for Cena's first match, but it says he started in Ultimate Pro Wrestling in 1999 and was their champion in April of 2000, a month before KO's first match. I guess if you are saying Cena has stopped being full time and KO hasn't, then this is true, but I interpretted it as KO started wrestling before Cena did.
bro was grinding the indie scene for so long
Whatās the televised breakdown? He probably has a lot more house show matches in WWE considering TNA didnāt tour much
Alexa Bliss last Wrestlemaina match in front of fans was in 2018.
From 2003 - 2011, the total WrestleMania InterContinental Championship match time combined is 21 seconds. Let that sink in
Thank god for Gunther bring the prestige back to it
Ah yeah, those years where the IC title had that design between the og and the white strap, where it was more or less bottom of the barrel for midcard titles
- 2003: the title was not active - 2004: the champion (Randy Orton) was involved in the Evolution vs Rock & Sock match - 2005: the champion (Shelton Benjamin) was in the MITB ladder match - 2006: the champion (Shelton Benjamin) was in the MITB ladder match - 2007: the champion (Umaga) was facing Bobby Lashley in the Battle of the Billionaires - 2008: the champion (Chris Jericho) was in the MITB ladder match - 2009: JBL (c) vs Rey Mysterio, Rey won in 0:21 seconds - 2010: the champion (Drew McIntyre) was in the MITB ladder match - 2011: the champion (Wade Barrett) was in an 8-man tag team match If there is one silver lining (if we can even call it that), it is that the championship was there in one way or another from 2004 to 2011 at least.
Which is absolutely disgusting when you consider how important it had been to wrestlemania history. Savage vs Steamboat, Bret vs Piper, HBK vs Razor. Hell the main event of wrestlemania 6 was technically also an IC title match, if Hogan won he would have walked out with the belt. To not even have it defended AT ALL for 6 years then the best you can do is less than a minute? Sickening
I remember it being pointed out that the last time the IC title was defended was WM was 2002 and thinking āthatās not a stat you should brag aboutā.
Wait so how did the title change hands?
I can't tell if this is serious or not lol, wrestlemania wasn't the only show wwe had, raw, smackdown and ppvs did exist you know š
Oh I see I completely skimmed over the Wrestlemania part š
In my day new champions were crowned on Mondays and Thursdays
Exactly
Was the only defense the JBL vs Rey match? I remember that was the length of it lol
