Hashasheen Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 How long do you think would have the WWF's light heavyweight championship been kept active? Same question for the Hardcore and European titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashasheen Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 New dynasty? Sort of. I did this WCW 2000 Be The Booker where it was sold before the Radicalz walked out on WCW, and I've been thinking of editing my results to a January 2001 Mod. But beyond it, I was just wondering how long Vince would have kept those titles going. I mean this is what the roster would look like in the first month: Singles Division Big Show Billy Gunn Bull Buchanan Chris Jericho Essa Rios Goodfather Kane K-Kwik Kurt Angle Rikishi Road Doggy Steve Austin Steve Richards Tazz The Rock The Undertaker Triple H Val Venis William Regal X-Pac Tag Team Division A.P.A – Farooq & Bradshaw Hardy Boyz – Matt & Jeff Hardy Head Cheese – Al Snow & Steve Blackman Holly Cousins – Crash & Hardcore Holly Lo Down – Chaz & D’Lo Brown Too Cool – Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty Too Hotty Kaientai – Funaki & Taka Michinoku Brothers of Destruction - Kane & Undertaker Edge and Christian Women's Division Chyna Lita Ivory Jacqueline Stephanie McMahon Terri Trish Stratus Not a lot of cruiserweights/juniors/light heavyweights, and the roster's kinda too small to support 5 different male single titles. *shrugs* Plus the women's division wasn't exactly the ****...

steesh07 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Pre Royal Rumble 2001 was Channel 4 that had it, unless I'm mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantabulous Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Channel 4 had Heat while Sky had everything else. Channel 4 thought they were getting kiddie programming, I guess still thinking that's what the WWF was, so they were rather shocked when Mae Young got out her synthetic knockers at the Royal Rumble. Subsequently, Backlash, which they also had the rights to, was shown on a 50-minute delay with the WWF having to make edits for content. The edits that stick out were digitizing X-Pac's bleeding face and not showing Trish Stratus being put through a table; they'd freeze the picture at the crucial point but still keep the sound, including in replays.

I see. Thanks for letting me know Fantabulous. On a new note: In 2001, Chyna apparently retired as champion after a pay-dispute. Could that have been impetus enough to retire the title once again?

lazorbeak Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 They did retire the title for what, six months through that year, before re-building a division around Trish. If anything they probably would have re-started things sooner if they weren't focused on the Invasion during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the WCW Cruiserweight title and a lot of their veteran workers at the time when they dropped it, so I was wondering if they'd do so here...
