World titles recognized by PWI

The moron that made that clearly wasn't interested in creating a serviceable graph at all.
I can see three things wrong with it straight away.

The belt icons are a terrible choice for a graph, the years should be directly aligned to the icon and the WWE belts should be grouped together instead of all over the place.

It's the work of a dickhead.

I do agree that graph is barely serviceable. I could probably make a better one in one afternoon.

Yikes. WWE and E!'s plan of adding Ronda Rousey mainstream star power to Total Divas in hopes it would boost the series sluggish ratings ended up backfiring big time.

Making things worse was the show got moved to Tuesdays out of fear that it would get hammered by the upcoming Wednesday Night War and to also take advantage of the Tuesday night spot left open by Smackdown's departure.

Looking forward to this

Did you make the graph?!

Itd be funny if every wrestler the Fiend beats disappears for a while and goes back to NXT.

New Impact eps start tuesday the 29th. The next two weeks theyre reairing PPVs. Next tuesday is the Rebellion PPV from April, and the 15th is Slamiversary 17 from July. the 22nd is then a "this is Impact Wrestling" special which will also have unaired matches from Bound for Glory 2 days earlier.

Rebellions Main Event was a Homecoming rematch between LAX and Lucha Bros, which again makes this odd since theyre both in AEW.

Might get that figurine if its available somewhere else than Ringside Collectables.

Got scammed by them years ago when I bought a limited edition Ric Flair figurine that came with one of his classic robes. Paid for it but they never sent it nor ever gave a refund for some reason that I don't remember anymore.

Why is the Cruiserweight Championship now an NXT title and the United Kingdom Championship still a WWE one?

Not to be a complete nerd and nitpick everything but...

The idea of Bray Wyatt’s gimmick is absolutely next level stuff, and Vince has obviously toyed with it.

A once evil man is trying very hard to turn over a new leaf. So much so that he hosts a children’s TV show to help positively influence young minds. But this man is so disturbed that he unknowingly creates a vile persona to fulfill his sick urges to harm and destroy people. A wrestler with a split personality. And Wyatt is so damn talented, he would have made this work perfectly.

So now time for my nerd rant: Vince has already dropped the split personality aspect of the character, by Wyatt essentially admitting and knowing that he is the Fiend. If he’s openly telling people that he’s the Fiend, why would he bother creating a children’s TV show as a front?

It’s just Vince having no faith in his audience to understand anything other than BAD GUY and GOOD GUY. Another example of Vince having to spoon feed us is the classic backdrop with all the victims with Xs over their faces. And did I mention that he’s already overexposed the character by having him do the SAME THING for 4 weeks in a row?

Holy shit Vince, just please hand the book over to your son-in-law. Absolutely brutal. Thankfully the character still has plenty of juice, but it’s novelty, creativity, and uniqueness is quickly going south. What a shame because Wyatt created an amazing look with a great story for his character.

Rant to be continued when the Undertaker pins the Fiend clean at Survivor Series...

Meh. I won't complain until he has to explicitly explain how he didn't actually burn IRS up in a shrimp boat "accident". Or he repeatedly jobs clean in all of his matches.

Just don't watch every week.

According to the Observer Newsletter, seems WWE is having a lot harder time than they expected trying to set up a NXT Japan branch.

Probably going to be just as hard with their goal of a NXT Latin America and/or Mexico branch because of how different that wrestling culture is compared to the US and UK.

Even in the UK, there is more resentment towards WWE now than before for their role in seriously damaging the UK wrestling renaissance.

Also this week's Newsletter mentioned that WWE pretty much keeps breaking their pay scale for wrestlers all because AEW simply exists.

Mentioned Gallows and Anderson going from an offer of $2.5 million for 5 years to getting $3.5 million for 5 years all because there were rumors of AEW and NJPW being interested in them. Same for them overpaying Strowman to the tune of $5 million for 4 years for a guy they flat out refuse to pull the trigger on becoming a bigger star.

Others saw big gains in guaranteed money solely because of WWE's paranoia.
