Paid Members air_raid Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sting won the title in London and lost it in Dublin. That wasn't a secret though - it was acknowledge on TV and in WCW magazine. Â Yup, there was a write-up of that tour in the first Superstars of Wrestling I bought. Tour was said to be very crowd pleasing, Bulldog getting the best reactions (obviously). Also pointed out that Vinnie Vegas (Big Kev) broke Smithers' nose in one match. A mate of mine went to the MEN leg and saw Sting defend the belt against dear old Regal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That tour was the only time I've ever had floor seats for a proper wrestling show, at the event at the NEC. I remember them announcing Sting was WCW champion, but he didn't defend it in Brum. Had a tag match instead, I think it was a streetfight. I hadn't seen one before and found wrestlers wrestling in jeans a real novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 When was that? Jeez, that sounds even worse than a dodgy independent promotion using a WWE replica belt. Few years ago when he had the feud with Rey. There was tape covering the "Women's" bit, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Quentin Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 I remember going to see a show at the NEC back when Jeff and Owen were tag champs. Then Kane comes out for a singles match with a tag title which was pretty confusing... Then later X-Pac came out with the other which was equally confusing. Then I watched Raw the next week and Kane and Pac won the titles from Jeff and Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkship Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think it turned out that the "Edge/Umaga wearing other wrestlers' clothes on house shows" thing was some massive in-joke/rib that eventually got stopped because, surprisingly, WWE lost patience with them pissing around in front of paying audiences. It was originally reported as Edge losing a bag of gear, but it later turned out to be bullshit (as evidenced by the other photos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 On the subject of Title changes didn't someone (Tito Santana I think) continue to "defend" the IC Title at house shows even though he had already lost the Title days previously at a taping?

Â That's probably true. Back in the day the tv was taped weeks in advance. Until it had aired on tv, the previous title holder was still recognised as champ. So Tito could have won it but not officially as it hadn't broadcast yet. Which IIRC is why The Rockers never officially won the tag belts. In their title win over the Hart Foundation, the top rope snapped. During the time from them winning it to them actually being seen on TV as winning them, Vinny Mac decided the match would look weak because of the rope break and decided not to show/edit the footage(?) so the Hart's had a longer stretch as champs and The Rockers were resigned to history as never being tag champs, even though technically they were, albeit in a way that defies time, space and logic!

Paid Members The Ratt Posted June 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 My favourite title change is in WCW for the Tag Team Title. Â Doom lost the belts to the Freebirds at the WrestleWar PPV on the 24th Feb 91. However 6 days before this happened at a tv taping the Steiners beat the Freebirds for the belts in a match that would air a few weeks later on TV. Â This possibly makes the Freebirds the shortest reigning champions ever at minus 6 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Was reading some old Observers recently and apparantly it was the end of 1989 when they dropped the policy of "defend titles at house shows until title change airs."

Wouldn't make sense to just wear it inside out? Umaga wearing Orton pants made me giggle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
