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 ...

Two ways to look at this question, which you think is either the top title in wrestling today or which is your personal prefernce

This debate has popped up from time to time, so I figured I'll just see what everyone here thinks. When it comes to maybe two World titles being unified, then yes, I
say either carry both belts out or create a new belt representing the
Unified championship. However, when it comes to the unification of

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.

OK whats the story with this one.

Hashimoto defeats Shawn Hernandez on 5-23 on a zero-one card in 4:43 in Tokyo, Japan.

That seesm to be the only clear part. In Japan they are announcing it as a title change with Hashimoto becoming the 48th champion. Stories also have Hashimoto claiming he doesn't want that worthless title he wants the NWA title.

Ok I'm lost last night during Heat Coach kept calling Raven a 22 time Hardcore champion. As far as I know he's only a 18x time hardcore champion.

What's going on here?

Nelson Royal was awarded the title on 79/07/28 when the champion Al Madril was too ill for the match. However, ...
