Top 10 Title Unifications

http://whatculture.com/wwe/wwe-top-10-title-unifications-modern-wrestling.php

I'm not gonna lie, it started as a dry piece and then I went a little insane at #5 and let things go wherever it led. I think people will enjoy this one. I certainly had fun writing it.

    Superclash III killed 4 different promotions? There's AWA, WCCW, CWA (or whatever Memphis was called), but what was the fourth?

  2. Ugh, I hate lists that makes you click all the way through. One page is so much easier.

    ReplyDelete
  3. How come only Steph got a promotion today and not HHH???

    ReplyDelete
  4. Uh, Kerry didn't cut his arm taking off his robe, he cut it open scratching his arm during the pre-match meeting.

    ReplyDelete
  5. The "uh" really sells it!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Did Scott inadvertently ingest some Jesse Baker DNA during the writing of this article?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Even worse for mobile users, the "new message" link no longer exists.

  9. I'd be happy if they put anybody in.

    Yeah, it's fucking annoying.

  11. If it's the top/bottom bar, I go to the message. If it's the little note on the post, I get knocked to the top.


    Yes, very annoying.

  12. One of the few times comparing someone to Hitler does not immediately invalidate the argument!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Bloat Goblin? Knee Goblin? Boss Goblin? Boss Goblin.

    ReplyDelete
  14. How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

    ReplyDelete
  15. TUNE INTO NITRO TO FIND OUT!

    ReplyDelete
  16. What better title is left? King of Kings of Kings?

    ReplyDelete
  17. They're going to sign DDP so he can drop the Battlebowl ring to HHH. Then they'll bring in Hiroyuki Sakai to put HHH over and make him the King of Iron Chefs.

    ReplyDelete
  18. No, Scott, you're holding back too much - tell us how you really feel about HHH! :P

    ReplyDelete
  19. With Triple H in charge of creative, I expect to turn on RAW Monday and see the ringside area surrounded by no mats and suddenly throwing guys over the top rope is going to be a disqualification.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The real reason WWE wants to sign Sting is so that he can job the King of Cable title to HHH. I heard they were also considering bringing in Larry Zybsyzko so that Trips can add the Western States Heritage belt.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It was written at 10 pm on an energy drunk rush. Be glad it's even in English.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I appreciate you.

    ReplyDelete
  23. My hatred for HBK's childish antics had overshadowed my logical thinking. You're probably right.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow. I hadn't even thought of that. He's going to somehow be in a unification match with Orton and/or Cena at WM, isn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I refuse to click on most of them. Gimmicks to drive up hit counts are so annoying. I used to get angry at Cracked for splitting their list into two pages...but now they're practically a breathe of fresh air.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Scott IS Jesse Baker *SWERVE*

    ReplyDelete
  27. 10pm is late now? Sheesh. You're convincing me to never settle down in life.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Cracked allows you to switch it to article view... not that it matters since cracked now sucks shaven gorilla testicles.

    ReplyDelete
  29. That probably explains Caliber's poor output

    ReplyDelete
  30. "and then swerve you by putting the title on the poor dweeb who got his ass handed to him by the Rock all the time"

    Oh, c'mon, Scott, that's not a fair assessment even for you. At least Jericho won pretty much every match against Rock (except for the initial WCW title rematch, which at least made sense since it was the ultimate catalyst for Jericho's heel turn) that they had. Heck, if HHH hadn't been piledriving the boss's daughter, maybe we might have gotten the Wrestlemania blowoff that feud deserved, with the Rock finally getting the well-deserved WM moment that HHH screwed him out of in 2000.

    and then swerve you by putting the title on the poor dweeb who got his ass handed to him by the Rock all the time

    I'm waiting for him to get a custom belt with his face on it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. thank you, I rather enjoyed that rant

    ReplyDelete
  34. roughly quoting from Scott about 15 years ago..."and he USES THE KNEE again, because that's the only offense he can do properly."


    This isn't new, it just took a brief vacation when HHH wasn't shitting the bed with everything he did

    ReplyDelete
  35. Great Read. Looking forward to more.


    Really not cool to not have Austin win that Vengeance tournament. Would have been a nice bone to throw him after he...was the catalyst behind WWE creeping out of the doldrums, climbing to never before seen heights, and helping to put the biggest competition to rest.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You've clearly never been to the Appalachian mountains.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well....maybe Green Boss Goblin? GBG for short?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Actually if they had wanted, they could have done the unification match between Rock/Austin at WM.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I wish they had just left the WWF and World titles separate instead of the unification. That way HHH can still have his big comeback, Rumble win, and WM title win without monopolizing the title scene. Added intrigue with the first ever "which world champ will he challenge?" bit. Could have done Y2J vs HHH for World title, if that burial just HAD to happen, with maybe Austin returning the WM17 WWF title job to Rock at 18? We wouldnt have had Rock-Hogan I know, but I think they should have saved the nwo thing for at or after WM anyway

    You're missing the obvious: HGH.

  41. :: channeling Ron Simmons ::

    Damn.

    I bow before the greatness of that statement.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thank you. Voted for Big Hurt, Biggio, Kent, Piazza, Glavine, Maddux, and Lee Smith.

    It never worked for me, though to be fair I do have the cheapest smartphone you can buy.

    Hell, 10:00 is when the night really gets started.

    ReplyDelete
  46. But... but he promised that he wasn't going to "Billy Gunn" his King of the Ring reign!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, I know. I mean it's real easy for us to say 'well so-and-so should just go to Japan', but it's a big, big change if you're the guy who actually has to go to Japan: even if you're a guy like Vader who was a big star in Japan. The culture is very, very different. The food is different. Most people don't speak your language. You're far away from your family. You have to deal with visa issues, more complicated tax issues, etc. It's great that some guys have had the option to be successful in Japan, but it's not for everyone and I can see why some guys would prefer to stick it out in the U.S. even if they could have had a 'better' spot in Japan like Vader might have.

  48. He's more of an orc actually...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Who is his Fegelein then?

  50. No J-Crown?

  51. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonDecember 7, 2013 at 10:14 AM

    Right now, Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  52. He'll beat both of the Headbangers to become Tag Team Champion of the Universe; dig up Macho Man to win the King's Crown (and finally avenge his wife's deflowering); resign Jimmy Garvin so he can beat him and Michael Hayes for their Southern Tag Team trophy; Barry Horowitz for the Winner's title (complete with tuna can belt); Billy Mitchell for the King of Kong title; and Violet Beauregard's gum chewing record.
