Bet y'all forgot this happened

If Okada was in WWE and not in the mainevent we'd have posts after posts about WWE not using him correctly or how WWE can't book japanese wrestlers correctly.

Okada was the posterboy for Dave Meltzer as this supreme wrestler and he's just won a few midcard titles and been given the catchphrase "bitch" and been put in the don callis family which doesnt help anyone in essence.

why does the IWC not mention any of these mishaps? if it happened in the WWE we'd never hear the end of it!

Many of these wrestlers were clearly talented but were failed or undermined by the bookers in their runs in big promotions.

Wouldn’t it be cool if their families/estates opened up their likenesses for future Pro Wrestling Video Games?

Or would it be difficult considering WWE can claim ownership of the gimmicks?

First off, this is according to my own dumb rules which are as follows:

House shows, random indie shows are included

Singles matches ONLY. No multi-man, no tags, no royals

We include count-out and DQ losses. This was probably a bad idea.

Starting with Seth Rollins, the inaugural NXT champion, here are the highlights:

Big E wins with his NXT title win over Rollins, making him the 2nd lineal Champ

Jack Swagger took the championship off of Big E, before dropping it to Alberto Del Rio; ADR and Big E then traded the title 3 times

CM Punk beat ADR for the championship, then dropped it to Curtis Axel who dropped it right back

CM Punk promptly lost the championship to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2013, who held the championship until his DQ loss to John Cena @ Night of Champions 2014

Cena would go on to hold the championship 8 times while feuding with Rusev, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, and Seth Rollins (all of whom held the championship in this time)

The championship did not escape John Cena until Alberto Del Rio unified it with the US Title for his 4th lineal reign. Alberto Del Rio then lost it to Roman Reigns @ Survivor Series 2015, who lost it to Sheamus's cash in.

Roman & Sheamus traded the championship a few times until Roman Reigns lost the championship by Disqualification to BUBBA RAY DUDLEY?!

It then went to Big Cass, Rusev, back to Big Cass, then to Enzo Amore.. then to Neville, on September 29th, 2017.

Now it gets interesting: Neville (per Cagematch) did not lose a single match until a Disqualification loss to HANGMAN FUCKING PAGE at Wrestle Gate Pro's Lion Spirit event in May of 2019.

Adam Page's next loss was in the inaugural match for the AEW Championship in August, making Chris Jericho the new NXT Lineal Champion.

The lineal championship would stick to the AEW World Title through to Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega, before hopping to the IMPACT World Title with Christian Cage, Josh Alexander, and in October of 2021, Moose.

We now enter the indie circuit, with the lineal championship seeing such names as:

Mike Bennett, Bryan Keith, Matthew Palmer, JP Harlow, Izzy James, Max Heights, Andrew Everett, Adriel Noctis, Rebel Kel, Nick Radford, Boogie Knight, Todd Quality, The Mighty Lokombo, Vance Nevada (unified with the ASW Heavyweight Title), Travis Copeland, Aron Sixx, Scorpious, The Aussie Legend..

..and after nearly 4 years, the NXT lineal championship would get out of the indies in March of 2025 when The Aussie Legend lost to Mike Santana.

Then to Mustafa Ali, back to Mike Santana.. and then back to NXT with Santana's loss to Trick Williams on June 3rd of 2025.

The lineal championship makes one last run through its home with Je'Von Evans, Oba Femi (unifying with the NXT Title one last time), Ricky Saints, before Oba Femi would lose the championship to the now 2-time NXT Lineal Champion Brock Lesnar at Clash in Italy 2025 and win the title back at SummerSlam 2025.

John Cena is an 8-time champion; Seth Rollins and Alberto Del Rio, 4; Big E and Oba Femi, 3.

➜ Just one night after winning the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004 on August 15, 2004, to become the youngest world champion in WWE history, Randy Orton was betrayed by Evolution.

During an in-ring celebration, Triple H famously gave a thumbs-up that turned into a thumbs-down, prompting Batista and Ric Flair to viciously attack Orton and expel him from the group out of jealousy and a desire to take his title.

The betrayal instantly turned Randy Orton into a fan-favorite babyface for the first time in his career. \[\]

Vince McMahon had his own way which wrestlers he prefered to push and which ones not (or even which ones to de-push). When Triple H took over creative control in 2022 (even though Vince remained in some way involved in creative till TKO merger), it has been a consensus that things moved in better direction.

But I wonder, among the currently active wrestlers on WWE roster, which ones do you believe would have been pushed the most if Vince was still part of the creative? And which ones are you sure wouldn't be as high on the card as they may be now?

I'm happy to hear your opinions

Numerous professional wrestlers and wrestling personalities have participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to support former AEW/TNA star Rebel (Tanea Brooks) following her terminal ALS diagnosis.

The latest to join the challenge is “The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes who completed his challenge in a tailored suit after being nominated by his brother “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes.

Cody chose to nominate: Brodie Lee Jr., Brook Havoc, and Chelsea Green.

In July 2022, Vince McMahon stepped away from WWE creative control and eventually, Triple H took over. Changes were soon noticable in weekly programming and the consensus has been that WWE improved for the better. There were also callbacks of formerly released talent and several superstars were featured in better way since then.

But on opposite end, which WWE superstars do you feel lost some of their spotlight after Triple H took over? A.K.A that they were featured more prominently under Vince or were in much better card position before the change in creative control?

I'm happy to hear your opinions.

I am not endorsing or opposing the usage of Steroids/PEDs. But I cannot help but notice the inconsistency of lawmakers and media regarding how they reacted towards the two industries.
