I don't care what anybody says, Russo's promo at BATB 2000 was godlike. Hulk Hogan being such a complete bitch that he had to quit and sue because said promo called him bald WHEN HE IS IN FACT BALD shouldn't detract from one of the best on-screen things Russo ever did IMO.

It wasn't just that it called him bald, it also violated his creative control clause and if you are going to ignore things like that your clause is rendered worthless.

If you believe that, you believe Hulk Hogan's version of those events. I don't. Russo may have zero credibility, but Hogan has the balls to say thats the only time he ever invoked his CC, which we KNOW is a BALD faced lie.

If I believe that I believe the court documents.

Ah, I forgot that the other half of the suit was upheld. I was remembering that the defamation claim got laughed out of court for being baseless, and didn't remember that the judge reasoned that having a match after Hogan's match and saying Hogan's win didn't count and his belt wasn't real amounted to taking his ability to control the match finish and his character away from him.

I think that ruling is bullshit, but whatever, that's why we have judges.

Regardless, I think that it's clear that Hogan would not have filed the suit in the first place if he wasn't a big baby throwing a tantrum because the promo was too mean. If, as Russo has stated, Hulk walking out with the belt and coming back later to face the Champion they crowned in his place was the story, the entire lawsuit was a crock. The fact that the judge sided with Hulk's interpretation of the CC clause was just good fortune and could have easily gone the other way. That's why lawyers always tell their clients to avoid court and try to settle.

EDIT: Anyway, I think it was a good promo, which was really the point of the topic. The fallout that resulted doesn't have much bearing on that opinion.

Hillary Clinton is probably going to be President because the second she announced she was running officially, all her opponents dropped everything they were doing in favor of talking about her. Nothing else matters except Hillary, you don't have any beliefs or agenda anymore because you have to spend all your time talking about Hillary's and how bad they are, you don't have a past or a history anymore because you have to spend all your time discussing Hillary's and how they're nothing but mistakes and screwups, and if you do have any defining traits of your own they only exist in direct reference to how they're different from Hillary's.

This has been on my mind lately, but if Owens doesn't lose it until his match with Finn then the Linear Champion could be in NXT. Which is weird.

Reminds me of the time I researched the WCW Linear Championship for the Monday Night War TEW thread. Unless I missed something after Flair brought it over during his WWF run, it eventually became unified with the WWF title in the Bret/Shawn Mania Ironman match. Along the way it passed through NJPW, several low-level indy promotions thanks to Yokozuna and Lawler, and temporarily belonged to Mable/Big Daddy V during his King of the Ring run.

The funny thing is, it probably would have come back to WCW at some point during the Monday Night War if Flair had dropped it to Savage in their Mania match. Either Savage or Warrior would have brought it back. But prior to that feud Hogan beat him clean in EXACTLY ONE match in their huge run of House Show matches before that feud, and Hogan did EXACTLY ONE clean singles match job before leaving the company, to Yoko the month after Mania 9.

I stopped researching after 1996 so I could follow our in-thread continuity rather than real life. I should go back and find out where that WCW Lineal Title ended up at some point.

Out of curiosity, who's linear champ in thread continuity?

Checking the WWF Lineal Title page, it turns out that in that same Bret vs Shawn Iron Man match at Mania 12 the Lineal Title was reunited with the Title Belt because Diesel won the LT at a house show and Bret won it off him. Therefore the lineal WWF Champion is the ACTUAL WWF Champion, that being Cactus Jack aka Mick Foley.

Interestingly, this also means that at Mania 12 Bret and Shawn unified the Lineal WWF and Lineal WCW Championships. Which I suppose in the thread makes Foley the Lineal Undisputed Champion. It also means IRL the WCW Lineal Title stayed unified with the Lineal WWF title, and now they can never be split again. The WCW belt was unified with the WWE belt long before the lineal title went a year without being defended and was dropped to the current WWE Champ (by Edge to CM Punk in 2011).

In the thread's continuity, the rules would dictate the WCW lineal title would be awarded to the current WCW Champion (and the same with the WWF title for that matter) when/if the Lineal Undisputed Champ went a year without defending it.

All of which just makes me want to figure out who the ECW Lineal Champion is.

Forgive my double post, but I spent the last over-an-hour actually doing this because my curiosity could not be sated. I may do a longer post at some point in the WWE General thread or the TEW Monday Night thread, but suffice to say the history of the ECW Lineal Championship is even more hilarious than you might think it is. Case in point: At our game's current date, October 1997, the real life* ECW Lineal Championship was most recently decided at a match hosted by Japanese indy fed "Kingdom," which existed for less than one full year. It was at the Kingdom One Night Million Yen Tournament, on August 22nd.

The match was between ECW Lineal Champion Katsumi Usuda and Challenger Alexander Otsuka. The result of the match is unknown (at least to the German guy who posted the card) and is the only match from the show whose outcome is unknown. I went forward on the assumption Otsuka won and came to possibly the single most hilarious possible ending. I might trace the title lineage from the outcome that Usuda won tomorrow and see if it ends up someplace even funnier.

*Note - none of the changes to the timeline in our game effect the status of the ECW lineal title as far as I can tell.

EDIT:

Where do you start the chain? When it was Eastern Championship Wrestling or actual ECW?

I started the chain from Shane Douglas, but I misread the date and started during his 1993 run as Eastern CW champion rather than his 94 reign as Extreme CW champion. I'll have to start from Snuka and see if anything screws up the line to the point where I began.

I'm starting to hate Chris Benoit bringing it to Japan and getting it involved in G1 Climax.

Well I finished my new trace starting from Snuka as inaugural champion, and by my reckoning Benoit never had it. So somebody screwed up somewhere. Probably me because I haven't slept. I'll go do that and double-check my work.

The funny thing is that this chain AND my original gently caress-up chain both ended the same way. The title gets vacated due to non-defense a couple of years AFTER ECW closed down. So at that point either the Lineal Title dies, reverts to the last champion (Rhyno), or comes back when WWE revives ECW and crowns RVD first champion in '06.

I chose the last option because according to my research it leads to the funniest possible ending: 6 days after winning the WWE Lineal Title from Shane McMahon, Bobby Lashley inexplicably wins clean over ECW Lineal Champion Randy Orton on a house show and unifies all three Monday Night Wars faction Lineal Championships. Two weeks later her ceremonially brings it home by beating Vince McMahon for the ECW Championship.

The Dudley Boyz returning to feud with Rowan and Harper while PTP continue to feud with New Day, maybe even eventually setting up a big title feud between the winners, would own.

The Tag Division is so close to being fully realized and great, Bubba and D-Von could put it over the top.
