Triple H, October 2011:

“When I grew up, I hated Hogan. I thought he was terrible and didn’t like to watch him. I was like Punk in a way. I liked the Steamboats and Flairs and the ones that could go. Would I be right in saying that Hogan was the wrong guy to go with, and they should’ve changed directions and gone with Steamboat because he was the better wrestler? Ludicrous.” - Triple H. October, 2011.

Every Counterfactual Title Match. Every Promotion. 80s. 90s.

Sunday, May 01, 2016

31 is here.

So, here's this.   Every title match, year by year, through WM 31. Just the Counterfactual matches (WWE, NWA, ECW, TNA ) the rest of the world existed as the rest of the world existed.   

The added value is that most of the MOTY contenders for each year from these promotions would likely come from title matches, so you can select your own from this pool. I'll make a note, for each year, of  some additional matches that you'd include on a possible match of the year list.  It will aid your navigating the network or file sharing, not that you do that.  Part 2 coming mid May.
