King Coconut Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I presume the Yokozuna match is included because he ain't on the list, despite winning the actual main event.
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, the stats were all based on "last match=main event" regardless of the pre-show promotion.
WyattSheepMask Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wasn't sure whether to count WM9 or not (still one of the stupidest things ever) so yeah, including that Hogan went over at 7 of the first 9 main events, and stole all the heat at the other two
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 I'm sure that on both occasions it was Heenan that came up with idea.
Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 If that chronological, should rock not be between miz and Bryan ?
Paid Members Linus Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Talking of main events, Roman Reigns will be only the 5th Wrestlemania main eventer NOT to have won a major singles title before that main event. Name the others
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Are we talking title match main events only? Because there are 3 in the WrestleMania I main event alone.
CTXRussomark Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, there's 5 within the first 3 WM's alone.
Paid Members Linus Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Hmm, I guess my definition of a major singles title might be different to yours. I'm classing any main title in a major territory (pre-90), or in one of the big 3 (post-90). So Piper & Orndorff, for WM1, did have titles to their name...
King Pitcos Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Mr T, Roddy Piper, Orndorff, Bundy, Andre, Savage, DiBiase, Warrior, Sid, Yokozuna, Michaels, Austin, Benoit, Batista.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Bundy, Andre, Ted DiBiase and Batista, if we're going by major singles titles.
CTXRussomark Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) By main title are you including IC/US level titles or literally just World/Heavyweight titles? I'll take a stab at: Mr T Bundy Andre (could well be wrong, but his role as special attraction would suggest not giving him the belt anywhere) Lawrence Taylor I can't really remember the main events between 20-29 but I'm going to assume they'd all held titles just because of the timeframe they were held in. *EDIT* Oh, Bam Bam too I guess unless he held some random regional title you're including. Think your logic must be too specific. Edited March 5, 2015 by CTXRussomark
Paid Members Linus Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 I somehow attributed an IC title to Batista he never had, so it's 6 counting Reigns. Sorry. Anyway, from the guesses so far... Mr T Piper: NWA Mid-Atlantic, NWA Americas, NWA US [san Francisco], NWA Pacific Northwest Orndorff: NWA National [Georgia], AWA Southern, NWA Southern [Memphis], Mid-South North American Bundy: AWA Southern, NWA American [WCCW] Andre Savage: AWA Southern, CWA International, NWA Mid-America, Grand Prix International, WWC North American DiBiase: NWA United National [All-Japan], NWA Central States, NWA National [Georgia], Mid-South North American, NWA North American [Tri-State], NWA Missouri, WWF North American Warrior: NWA Texas, WWF Intercontinental Sid: CWA [Memphis], NWA Texas Yokozuna Lawrence Taylor Bigelow: AWA Southern Michaels: WWF Intercontinental Austin: WCW US, WCW TV, WWF Intercontinental Benoit: IWGP Jr, WWF Light Heavyweight, WCW World, WCW US, WCW TV, WWF Intercontinental Batista
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 Does Yokozuna count? Wasn't Hogan vs Yokozuna sort of the main event, and Yoko had won the WWF title 90 seconds before he "wrestled" that match.
Paid Members Linus Posted March 5, 2015 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2015 I suppose. I think we'd all rather forget that ever happened
