Debate over WWE lineage

The debate was ended after WWE posted their World Heavyweight Title, title history on WWE.com. I'm going to edit that part. SilentRage 18:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

† indicates reigns and title changes not recognized by WWE

I'm confused. This makes no sense. Why would WWE not recognize all but Flair's first title reign in WCW? In fact Flair is the one guy who they go out of their way to recognize ALL his World Title reigns. 24.178.211.155 (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me they don't go out of their way to regognize Flair's reigns. WWE doesn't recognize the Flair-Race NWA World Title switches in 1984 or the Flair-Fujinami NWA World Title switches in 1991, yet the NWA does. They also don't recognize the two WCW International World Title reigns. Two of Flair's WCW Titles are also not recognized, the first when WCW created the title and the match with Rick Steamboat in 1994. When a title is held up or vacated and then won, that starts a new reign. Despite the fact that Steamboat was never WCW Champ, the title was vacated, Flair won the rematch and it became a new reign, so there are 8 WCW Title reigns. Someone needs to fix this.

Debate over Benoit's reign

Let's get this clear once and for all - his reign IS recognised by WWE.com's WCW Championship history page. [1] I've altered the page to reflect that fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.65.77 (talk) 10:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Benoit was a WCW Champion. He won the championship at a ppv the left WCW the next day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.117.49.133 (talk) 00:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sting

The first WCW World Champion was Sting. In late 1990, Sting, the reigning NWA World Champion, was recognized as the first WCW World Champion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.245.155.201 (talk) 07:42, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
