10 Things You Didn't Know About The WWE Title

[@CommodoreFan64]

You guys have to understand in the 80's a lot of people here in the USA still did not have cable TV, thus meaning for most markets you only had 4 options for OTA TV, ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS, and as such you can see why a sports like event with a title match would do way better numbers vs. a movie of the week, or whatever lame thing PBS(Public Broadcasting System) would have been showing on a Saturday night, plus people would have also been tuning in waiting for Saturday Night Live which was also a big deal back then as well.

How about this bit of belt trivia (which I only recently learned myself)? Despite WWF recognizing several teams as the WWF Women's Tag Team Champions in the 80's, there were never any WWF Women's Tag Team belts made. The ladies carried around the NWA Women's belts.

I was never a fan of it myself. One of the reasons I was excited for Cena to win the WWE Championship was the likelihood of them changing to the Spinner Belt design.

In regards to #10, that's not what happened. Mondt and McMahon kept Rogers in the Northeast instead of letting him go to other promotions which is what the NWA champion is supposed to do. The other promotions went to the NWA board and demanded a title change which was approved. Rogers faced Thesz, who famously told Rogers before the match "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," and Thesz won. Mondt and McMahon used the one fall match as an excuse to crown Rogers. But Rogers dropped a 2 out of 3 fall rematch the next month.

The WWE title was not the most prestigious belt for half a century. The NWA World title was considered the most prestigious belt in pro wrestling until around 1991. The AWA World belt was arguably more prestigious during the mid to late 1970's to early 1980's.
