As long as AAA has Psycho Clown and his flamethrower to main event, the titles can go wherever

Are belts not prestigious/important in AAA?

It's seems like they're either not being defended or they're being used as story device and given to whoever.

Generally in Lucha Libre title fights aren't as big a deal as mask/hair matches or other "Lucha de Apuestas."

They can be but lucha in general places a much lower amount of importance on straps than American/Puro. Belts are only as important as whatever story they're currently involved in.

If Reigns held the title until WM 40 (which is not next year, by the way, it's the 2023 one) he'd be brushing up on Pedro Morales' length of reign as WWE champion. Meaning there's 0 chance they'd take it off him and wouldn't just hold on until he's the 'greatest champ since Bruno'.

He's actually only a couple of weeks shy of topping Punk.

Thanks.

Generally when I've heard about Mexican stars it's been about their Lucha de Apuestas record and not "they've held x title for x amount of time".

It's kind of funny that WWE put themselves into a position where they're like "well I guess someone has to be champion" without a hair vs mask type thing to add importance to angles.

One of my favorite thing about wrestling Twitter is when dudes start their tweets with stuff like “As I’ve spoken about before” like folks have been cataloging their previous grievances in case they need to refer back to them later.

This reminds me of a missing dog poster I kept seeing where I used to live that said "STILL MISSING", as if the whole neighborhood was following the gripping saga of their poodle that definitely got eaten by a coyote because they lived right next to a forested canyon full of them.

I want an entire year of Roman retaining the belt because his opponents end up getting hurt in increasingly preposterous displays of clumsiness.

Once he beats Lesnar/Rock at mania or whatever the dumb plan is, they should just call the title The Roman. Roman never wrestles again, he just wanders around backstage cutting half hearted promos on how he’s beaten everyone and when there’s someone new he just says he’s beaten someone who’s beaten them so there’s never another challenger. He also occasionally yells at the Uso’s for being bad hired goons, buffoonery, and not being forever champs like him.

Then I’ll start watching again cause I like the 3 stooges and Roman would be a good Moe. One of the Uso’s would have to get fat and shave his head though.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It's not just a AAA thing, in CMLL currently multiple belts have over 1000 day reigns. I think the record is currently the CMLL womens title that was won five or six years ago.

Anyway just no

Tony Khan, the coward, chose to make a wrestling show AFTER the advent of widespread mass communication technologies. If he'd produced a North American based wrestling television program in 1734 it wouldn't be pulling in anywhere near the ratings it is now, but he refuses to admit this :argh:

That theory folks keep making that Raw has the numbers it does because folks fall asleep with it on? Well that's what's actually happening on Wednesdays. The Accountant been played so often that folks use it to fall asleep and Dynamite just happens to be on afterwards.

miro as kip's friend that he knows from playing games together was an absolutely fine way to introduce him + let him be on camera as something other than what he'd been for his literal entire career as a wrestler. without that seed you also don't have that absolutely terrifying segment where miro destroys his best friend for losing and cradles him in his arms afterwards when he Forgave Him

it was storytelling, not a pivot, and it worked
