Makes me wonder what happened at Wrestlemania X-7 for Raw's ratings to drop behind Nitro's that much. It was a dark day for wrestling fans when Vampiro shook hands with Vince McMahon.

Makes me wonder what happened at Wrestlemania X-7 for Raw's ratings to drop behind Nitro's that much. Well I know what the top two matches for WrestleMania X-Seven are, and they are HUGE matches (though I'll get to that in my other thread in due time), but as far as the RAW Is WAR ratings go, I'd say it just comes down to WCW having a generally hotter project with generally better in-ring and the younger stars. While the WWF arguably has higher profile main event guys, there isn't a ton there in terms of the undercard below those main events. That's just my slant on it though. In the EWR game itself, WWF definitely has the bigger stars comparatively speaking. Again though....it could just be me putting on the better product that draws the bigger ratings.

Just realized that I uploaded the wrong double title photo for the WCW World Television Title history. It's been fixed.
Probably will spend the remainder of this month finishing off the title histories. Definitely want to get the first PPV of 2002 done before New Japan's G1 Climax starts in mid-July, because I'll be spending a lot of time watching that for a month lol.

WCW Cruiserweight Title

AJ Styles (3)WCW Fall Bral 2001September 23rd, 20018 Days
Christopher Daniels (3)WCW Monday NitroOctober 1st, 20013 Days Daniels recaptured the title after getting assistance from referee Allison Danger.
VacatedWCW ThunderOctober 4th, 2001The title was stripped from Daniels by the WCW Championship Committee following the circumstances of his title win on the October 1st edition of Monday Nitro.
Christopher Daniels (4)WCW Halloween Havoc 2001October 28th, 200163 Days This was a Thirty-Man Gauntlet For The Gold Match. The final two were AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, and Daniels ultimately pinned Styles to win the title.
AJ Styles (4)WCW Starrcade 2001December 30th, 20011 Day + This was a Last Man Standing Match.
So as you can see, the WCW Cruiserweight Title was dominated by two men throughout 2001. I also want to clear something up with regards to Christopher Daniels. Curry Man did hold the WCW Cruiserweight Title, and as we all know....Christopher Daniels is the one who portrays Curry Man. I don't believe I explained the transition from one to the other in storyline, but essentially, Curry Man quit the promotion after his poor showing the first Best Of The Super Cruiserweights Tournament, and Daniels showed up as Daniels (with The Triple X Prophecy) a few weeks later.

A fun little fact that I didn't realize until I did this particular title history....all of the title changes involving the Ten Pounds Of Gold have been on Monday Nitro for well over a year. The Great American Bash 2000 was the last time the title didn't change hands on WCW's flagship television program.
