Yeah but Blitzkrieg used that name all over the place it wasn’t like WCW branded them with that name.

Blitzkrieg was Blitzkrieg before WCW.

Final Solution was an actual WCW name.

I watched NBR a while back thinking that match's objective was to take Judy off the forklift, but no, it was just a regular match with Judy yelling in the background. What a disappointment.

I don't know if they say it in that match, but in my head I can distinctly hear Hudson and/or Madden asking "How do you win this match Schiavone?". Followed by silence.

This is going to be wonderful.

For those who don't know the series, What Happened? is about video games (and occasionally movies) that had a very troubled production and usually came out as garbage. Apparently, this is going to be the longest episode yet.

Are the WCW six-man titles among the least prestigious titles in wrestling? They certainly are some of the ugliest.

The Beef Wellington Father Fucker Championship is either the most prestigious championship, or the least. But it's not anywhere between those.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

My favorite least prestige title ever is the WWF Light Heavyweight Belt that they abandoned to Mexico and Japan where it got traded around and then Ultimo Dragon won it as one of the 8 belts he had in the J-Crown and went to WCW and WWF was like "WHOOPS!" and stripped him and held a tournament for the belt with a division that didn't actually exist at the time.

Any of the 12 Herb Abrams' UWF Titles, most of which had only one holder. One time I saw the UWF SportsChannel Television Championship in a pawn shop and I can't figure out if it was the real one or a Replica because both are equally improbable for showing up in a pawn shop in Southern New Hampshire.

I kinda hope they're sitting in some weirdos collection so when people visit he can tell them the hilarious story of a guy that offed himself with coke and strippers. Sometimes we need monuments to warn us.

Lenny Duge still has the original. There had to have been replicas made at some point, as the scammer who called himself "Herb Abrams Jr." had one last year

Mike Vartanian designed all of Herb's belts and then went on to make all the belts for ECW. In fact, the first ECW World Title was just a redesign of the UWF World Title that Steve Williams defended at Blackjack Brawl in 1994

I never realized the Eastern Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Title that Shane Douglas had the night he threw down the NWA title was just the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance belt with the ECW logo bolted onto it

I remember an interview with Paul Heyman where the question was put to him straight: why Shane Douglas of all people? And he was very politic about it and immediately insisted that he absolutely saw Shane as The Guy.

I'm not at all familiar with ECW before they had a national TV deal, so what was it that made him The Guy at that moment?

Decent look, decent size, decent promo, decent worker, sober enough to show up to work, some name value, able to do a "the big leagues never gave me the shot I deserved" bit that sounds convincing, not likely to be signed away by a bigger company in the next three months, young enough to come across as counter-culture without looking like a doofus. How many other guys in ECW at that time checked every one of those boxes?
