From: SmartMuffin | #400 By the LITERAL DEFINITION of your question, Edge at No Way Out 2009/Wrestlemania 25 doesn't count, since the switch from one title to the other happened at the SAME PPV, and then next month he wasn't CHALLENGING for the other one, but rather he was DEFENDING it. (Although it is kinda neat that he lost both World Titles at consecutive PPVs) Orton pulled off a nifty trick in 2010 where over a string of 5 PPVs he was in: WWE Title match non-title match WHC title match non-title match WWE title match But that still doesn't fit. I mentally went back as far as Edge's Chamber switch, and it hasn't happened since then, I will keep you posted. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg ...

I also thought of an early one that will at least give a baseline:
At Vengeance 2001, Rock lost the WCW Championship to Jericho on the night where Jericho would later go on to defeat Austin for the WWF Title as well, to unify them as the Undisputed Championship (which technically is the WWF Championship) Rock would then challenge Jericho for the Undisputed Championship at the next PPV, Royal Rumble 2002. Kinda cheating since WCW/WHC aren't technically the same thing, but still. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg ...

From: SmartMuffin | #406 Edge is the culprit of all of these consecutive PPV sorts of things as I keep going backwards. 2009 No Way Out: Edge loses WWE, wins WHC Wrestlemania 25: Edge loses WHC 2008 Night of Champions: Edge retains WHC against Batista (loses title to Punk on Raw the next night) Great American Bash: Edge loses WWE Title match against Triple H 2007 Backlash: Edge loses WWE Title Match against Cena/Orton/HBK (wins WHC from Taker on SD with Kennedy's MitB) Judgment Day: Edge retains WHC against Batista The Ultimate Opportunist indeed! -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg ...

Pretty amazing that Edge is an 11 time world champ when he only had about 6 years in the main event. Imagine if it hadn't taken him nearly a decade to get there of if he hadn't been forced into early retirement. He might not have broken Flair's record (since that's obviously not up to him), but he would have come close.
Which raises an interesting question I think. With Cena approaching the record soon, do you think the writers would take that into consideration? Do you think once he hits 15 they'll just never give him another reign? ... Copied to Clipboard!

SmartMuffin 05/05/12 11:21:00 AM #411: |
I think whether Flair's record gets broken depends entirely on whether he stays in TNA or not.

I know this is 4 hours ago but I don't think that having the face of the company being unstoppable is a bad thing.
But I don't think being unstoppable is the same thing as no selling offense. Really the only guys on that list of "unstoppable forces" that no sold offense regularly were Hogan and Warrior (and Bikertaker but that's not the same as the taker that was the face of the company). Like the big fish of the company should be the best but that doesn't mean he has to make everyone else look on a much lower level than him. For instance Triple H for as much as you'll say about burying guys it was more in the booking of him beating a guy 10 times than the matches themselves. Like on PPV matches or main events his matches for the most part looked competitive. Triple H would come out on top but that's why he's the best. For the most part the same is true for John Cena, Austin, or any of the other guys on that list that weren't Hogan and Warrior. So yeah people having a problem with Sheamus kicking out at 1 isn't the same as people having a problem with Sheamus winning a lot. -- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ...

While we're on the subject of interesting back-to-back PPV title matches, take a look at 2008 Jericho.
Won the WHC at Unforgiven 2008. Defended it against Shawn Michaels at No Mercy 2008. Lost it to Batista at Cyber Sunday 2008. Lost it to John Cena at Survivor Series 2008. Lost a WHC match to John Cena at Armageddon 2008. So he lost two straight PPV WHC matches as the champion. -- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5205/bananase.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wanglicious 05/05/12 1:58:00 PM #415: |
also on the matter of 50/50 booking - it sucks when that's what seriously happens. that's the basis of cena/orton and why they have the number of titles they do, that damn feud padded both of their numbers by like 5 each.
but something like 60/40 or even 70/30 is good. even if you want to play it straight, to give the illusion of 60/40 is far better than what we get from guys pulling a superman in a match. -- The King Wang.

ANd on the topic of 50/50 booking, Lopen hit the nail on the head earlier.
Triple H may have never lost, but he also hardly ever went over 100% clean during the REIGN OF TERROR. He usually needed his stable and he usually needed a sledgehammer.

I hope that image implies AJ interferes so DB wins the title from Punk.
...and then she becomes a domineering presence in his life which facilitates his shift back from heel to face. Or not. Just so long as DB beats Punk. Serious question about Sheamus (looking at you Jakyl): other than the fast count/DB ref match recently, can you tell me the last time Sheamus, in a 1 on 1 match: -Lost (uncleanly) -Straight-up lost cleanly I didn't watch Summerslam, was that clean (relatively)? -- I'll see you in Hell!

...man. so the answer's countout to both, isn't it.

He lost cleanly to Henry at Summerslam but it was via countout.
He lost to Del Rio during...October? When Del Rio was WWE Champion. Christian interfered and ADR won with the top-rope Enziguri he does (that is awesome, just like basically all of ADR's moves). Last clean loss would be the no DQ match with Orton in which he was punted as a way to write him out of Capitol Punishment (he was basically a tweener between then and when he confronted Henry pre-Summerslam, tbqh.

MartinFF7 05/05/12 4:37:00 PM #434: |
I think the point I was making is that they don't even want to see Sheamus get pinned unless the dirtiest ways possible - the D Bry fast count & the clear ADR interference from XIII's example. I mean, there's nothing else since he turned face...?
EDIT: just found the ADR/Sheamus match, October 14. Interference from Ricardo and Christian and the best part - Sheamus "kicks out" of the pin immediately after the ref says 3 to end the match. Like getting pinned was SO BAD he had to show he wasn't that pinnable so had to immediately lift his shoulder. ... Copied to Clipboard!
