Magnum Milano Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ok, one for the experts to try... When was the last time a WWE or WWF Championship/Title/Belt was defended in a match on a card not promoted by the WWF/E or by V.K. McMahon or McMahon Snr?  I have heard that the WWF Womens title was involved in several non-WWF promoted matches in Japan in 1994 with one title change taking place, but has there been any more recent? Bret Hart faced Terry Funk in September '97 on the Wrestlefest card, at which time Hart was the WWF World Champion, although I don't know for sure whether the title was on the line in the match.  It is possible that a title was defended later than this on one of Pillman Memorial shows or in OVW.

The title was on the line, it wasn't originally but I'm sure Funk wanted to put Bret over so he arranged to make it a title match too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's wasn't, the Hitman did defend it vs the Bulldog on a Stampede tribute show for Stu Hart in December 1995.  Actually, so did Razor against Owen earlier in the show (IC title obv.)

With far too much time on my hands I searched through some OVW results, and this was the most recent time a WWE title was defended there:  22 June 2007 OVW, Six Flags, Kentucky - Santino Marella pinned Antoni Polaski to retain the WWE IC title.

I'm sure I read something about it in Powerslam, though I may be completely wrong. A long long time ago (Late 70's early 80's?) The World Junior-heavywight championship was defended in WWF (or WWWF maybe) although it was primarily defended in japan Via NJPW i believe. Dynamite kid is a former WWF World junior-heavyweight champion. Not sure when that lasted up to, although its not in relation to the later 90's Light-heavyweight belt!

dopper Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I can think of 3: Â - The Patriot challenged Bret for the WWF Title in his first ppv at Ground Zero 1997. - King Kong Bundy challenged Hogan for the Title in his first ppv at WrestleMania 2 (bearing in mind WM1 wasn't on ppv) - Ted Dibiase challeneged for the vacant Title in his first ppv at WrestleMania 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 When was Raw moved to Friday Nights on Sky Sports? Was it 1997? Because I know we got it in 1995, but I also wanted to know when it was aired before it was moved to Friday Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 It was on around 5/6pm on Fridays by early 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2011 You used to walk home from Footie after school on a Friday and say "watching Raw tonight lads" (real quietly though, because you didnt want anyone else to know you watched it), knowing you had Nitro on the night as well and that you had the full weekend to fuck about doing nothing. Them were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nitro used to be on a Friday night on TNT didn't it? Admittedly, even after the so-called 'glory days' of Nitro, I often used to prefer it over Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 19, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yup. The best was when Nitro, Thunder, Raw and Beverly Hills Bordello were all on Friday night, along with whatever wrestling was on DSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
