I have the feeling the WWE title is really losing momentum, since the introduction of the World heavyweight title.
With all the talk about the Big Gold belt and the "lineage" of the World title on TV and the Internet, the WWE title is alsmost becoming secondary to the World title.
What do you guys think?

I noticed that you haven't added the Raw World title to the WWE section of the title history page. What's up?

I was looking up results on prowrestlinghistory.com and found this:

Royal Rumble 1997
January 21, 1997 in San Antonio, TX

NOTE the date.

One of the results on that card was:

Shawn Michaels pinned Sycho Sid (13:49) to win the WWF World Title.

HOWEVER In Wrestling Title Histories and on this site, I have seen the change date as 19/01/1997 in San Antonio, TX

Which is the correct date?

I just read that Bret Hart beat Ric Flair for the WWF title two days earlier then the offical date In San Fransico. But the change was never mentioned. Anyone know anythign about this?

I have been looking at the date you have used for when WWF changed to WWE and have noticed that you have only included the month, Hisa.
The titles that were around at the time of the name change were:

World
IC
Euro
Women's
Tag
Cruiserweight
Hardcore

The exact date that the name change was announced both on the WWF/E official site and their programming was 06/05/2002 (May 6th).

The aforementioned titles should now look ...

I found Hisa's NWA Title Match List a while ago and it set me off compiling my own lists for WWE. I currently have the World (quite incomplete results), IC (VERY incomplete results), Euro (almost complete) and Hardcore (should be quite complete but I've only just started it).

If anybody is interested, these lists should be up on the Oldschool-Wrestling site by Monday. I'll post the link as soon as I have it. When you ...

I don't think that your WWE Tag Title Title history is complete, you have it starting with Luke graham and Tarzan Tyler but befor eWWE took down their official title history it started with Eddie and Jerry Graham and had 28 other title holders before yours starts. I was just wondering if you knew why that was

Does anybody know what the deal is with the following title changes:

1. 22/07/02 Grand Rapids, MI - Johnny Stamboli defeats Bradshaw for the title, and Bradshaw then regains it. Both this site and the Solie site list this change as happening. However, this match took place on Sunday Night Heat and according to other sites, Bradshaw won this match without losing the title.

2. On 04/08/02 Bradshaw defeated Tommy Dreamer for the title with ...

I need a little help. If anyone out there can help me find a list of all title defenses of WWWF titles in Japan it would be a lot of help.

I am looking for title defenses by TIger mask, The CObra and Fujinami (both in the US and Japan) for the WWWF JR title. But I am also looking for any and all title defesnes of WWWF-WWE titles in Japan or against Japanese wrestlers.
