Footnotes on Title
Histories1.
Title histories are listed in reverse order. For active titles, the
current champion will be listed first.
2. Numbers in parentheses ( ) denote the number of times a wrestler has held that
title. Please note that the count restarts if the title changes name.
Example: if Mark Windham has held both the United States and National
Championships and then wins the US Title again, his entry would be noted as
United States Championship (2); the National Championship is counted as
distinct, even though they may be similar or eventually merged. The same
is true in the case of the UNIFIED World and CSWA World Titles.
3. Every effort has been
made to keep these as accurate as possible. Please notify us if you come
across any discrepancies. Due to the volume of records and incidents like
the July 2001 server crash, some entries may be incomplete. In these
cases, out-of-roleplay notes may accompany the entry. |
