date
The format is either YYYY-MM-DD or YY-MM-DD. [ ]
Following the name of the champion(s): Indicates the number of times the wrestler has held that title at that point.
[...]
Indicates a gap in the listing where title changes are not known. *
If used next to the names of the wrestlers , they may, in fact, not have held the title in the period indicated. If used next to the dates or places , either they are possibly wrong or the title changes are fictitious. <
Title was held or changed hands no later than this. In these cases, it is known that a wrestler held the title at a certain time but not when he/she won it.
+
Broadcast date; the actual recording date is unknown.
@
Order uncertain. Different titleholders may be known for the same year, for example, but it is not known who held the title before whom. # Unofficial or disputable claims. These are usually matches that certainly took place, but where there is doubt that the wrestler shown should be recognized as a true title holder. These listings are also italicized in HTML files
