Defending a trophy makes me think of the FCW Jack 15 Championship, which was a medal defended in 15 minute Ironman matches.



Who is the lineal champion for that championship?

i... might have enough free time to work this out today. is this assuming the lineal title changes hands on any fall?

e: by that i mean, if (say) ambrose gets the final fall in an ironman match but loses, is he lineal champion?

I would say whoever is champion at the end is the lineal champion. Getting the final fall is like scoring a late TD but still losing.

I’m just going to say what I have always said about the fans: WWE knows their fans don’t give a single gently caress about if somebody is a pedophile or whatever. The cult is fully recognized. They got their fans by the balls and all that jazz.

I know WWE does a lot of dumb loving poo poo but I think even they wouldn't let Jeff Hardy run wild with his ideas. Willow sucks and is real embarrassing.

But, don't hold me to that. It wouldn't surprise me if it happened, but I don't necessarily expect it.

More on the Cameo ban from Meltzer

Dave Meltzer posted:

It was said that Vince McMahon had talked about this as a problem dating back months. At first he wanted to put a stop to everything, but before doing so, COVID hit. He had talked a few times about it and never pulled the trigger.

Regarding if talent was to get an endorsement deal or have a way to earn money on platforms like Cameo or Only Fans, are they allowed to do it using their real name, the reaction was that there are a variety of factors in play including agreements in place and how activations are branded and/or promoted on multiple platforms. The matter will be determined through the specifics and communication. In other words, it seems like things are on a case-by-case basis.

On paper, I don’t know that all of Matt’s reinventions are winners, but he is a prime example of how much you can get away with when you fully commit to a bit.

Technically Matt revamped Jeff's character as well, but if WWE weren't gonna let them do the Broken Matt and Brother Nero gimmick as a team when it was at it's hottest, they're sure as gently caress not letting Jeff do Willow on his own

here you go! the title made its way from FCW to the indies, then traveled over to Japan with Lance (Archer) Hoyt in mid-2013 and has lived there since (apart from a couple trips back to the US and Mexico). notably it has been on the line for two IWGP IC Title matches and 30 IWGP HW Title matches, including the Okada/Omega 7* match at WK11. pretty wild!

if you want a signal to how much faith 2k lacks after that title, they're continuing to support and issue patch updates to 2k19 and stated they'll continue doing so until 2k22.

Jeff was too cool to reinvent himself. Everything he does is just not as good as Jeff Hardy. He's old now and absolutely uncool but it still stands.

Matt is a creative nerd. His reinventions are an improvement on Matt freakin Hardy.
