Paid Members BomberPat Posted November 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 From what I understand, any title defence would have to go through WWE - the only times it's been defended outside of WWE are once in ICW by Pete Dunne, and by Tyler Bate once in PROGRESS. Most of the times I've seen Pete or Tyler while either was champ, they weren't carrying the title, as far as I can remember, so it may be that they're only able to use the title at all on shows preapproved by WWE - though others who go to shows far more regularly than me would be better positioned to verify that. WWE don't have to approve all of Dunne's (or any of their UK guys) bookings, but they are able to pull Dunne from previously arranged bookings if they need him for a show. Not having to approve Dunne's bookings does lead to some fantastically surreal bookings, though - like British Strong Style vs. The Elite for Fight Club Pro, where three WWE-contracted talents (including a current champion) faced off against three NJPW contracted talent on another promotion's show entirely, in a tiny venue in Wolverhampton. The sort of thing which, on paper, would have been unthinkable just a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be right can it? Surely all the title changes on Smackdown between then and it going live only a year or so back would have been on tape delay. Swagger in 2010 being the last I can recall, but there are surely a good few in the past 14 years, maybe even more recently.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Hart's Buddy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've never heard any reasoning as to why Survivor Series 1992 didn't have any elimination matches (I know they had a sort-of-SS match with the tag teams). It's never come up on any podcasts or in any magazines/books I read. The logical reasoning, looking at the roster at the time, is that it simply wasn't deep enough to go all-in with the elimination matches as in previous years. I just rememeber as a kid being really confused when the whole format of the show changed. Is there a story there?

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2017 They started playing with it early on. Match of survival in 1990, introducing a World Title match in 1991 and then all change in 1992. I've always thought the novelty of the tag matches wore off and they thought a regular PPV was the answer. Not sure they ever stopped looking.

D@mm Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Looking at the matches for Survivor Series 1992 they could of done at least one 4 vs 4 match, maybe they could of done Bret Hart, Undertaker, Macho Man & Mr Perfect Vs Shawn Michaels, Kamala, Ric Flair & Razor Ramon.
