From WWE Champion to jobbing to a leprechaun in under a year. Should probably stop smoking the pot Brian.

[Guest ScottyB]

I think you need to stop smoking the pot....Kendrick wasn't WWE Champion. You're probably thinking of the scramble match where he became interim champ, but that doesn't count.

[Guest Zidane]

Hahaha, I knew someone would jump on that but I expected it to be TPIB.

 

Was the champion for five minutes, don't give me any of this 'it doesn't officially count' guff.

If it had been TPIB, you'd have had a whole paragraph about it ;)

 

And still, as cool as it'd be to say Kendrick was champ, unless it's in the record books, it doesn't count :/

[TPIB 62]

If it had been TPIB, you'd have had a whole paragraph about it ;)

 

I can't really argue with that. I like to cover all my bases ;)

 

It's true. Kendrick was never the "official" WWE Champion. That would suck if each interim champion counted as a reign as WWE Champion.

 

Still, it is a shame to see Kendrick jobbing to the leprechaun. Hornswoggle actually competing with "big people" got old a long, long time ago. I think enough is enough. He won the Cruiserweight Title and that was an embarrassment in my book (sure he qualified to compete for and win it, but that does not mean he should have). The fact that he was the last Cruiserweight champion makes it worse. My point is: let's keep him away from the tag team titles. The belt is bigger than he is anyways.

 

I was hoping for a win for The Brian Kendrick & Jamie Noble as that was the most even team thus far. The fact that they have Kendrick losing the fall in these matches kind of defeats the purpose that he is looking for the right partner to win the tag titles, as it is coming across as he is the problem, not the tag partner.

 

Being the undisputed king of useless information, I noticed that all of this week's Superstars was taped before RAW in Birmingham. I guess that that is their new "system" for taping Superstars.

I think you need to stop smoking the pot....Kendrick wasn't WWE Champion. You're probably thinking of the scramble match where he became interim champ, but that doesn't count.

 

I count it, he pinned the champion, therefore he became the champion. It doesn't get any more official. Look for example at the hardcore scramble matches from 2000/01. When each champion was pinned it was an official switch. It was the same thing for Kendrick.

[DC 536]

WWE don't acknowledge the people who were interim champs during Scramble Matches to have been official title holders and, as it's their titles, those who won & lost the titles during a Scramble Match were not official title holders.

 

So, no offence Kurtmark, but WWE's word on this subject carries more weight.

WWE also acknowledge Fabulous Moolah as having a 28 year title reign. Which is a complete lie, so I would take anything they say about "official" title reigns with a pinch of salt. (Point of fact she held it 7 times in these 28 years and therefore lost it 6 times.

[Guest Dante Spears]

Nugh. It sickens me to see Brian lose to Santino. Still Brian made Santiono look good, even with the stupid hulking up crap. Not that Santino isn't talented to make himself look good, but the way they have Santino wrestling he doesn't come off looking so well.

[Paul 584]

I count it, he pinned the champion, therefore he became the champion. It doesn't get any more official. Look for example at the hardcore scramble matches from 2000/01. When each champion was pinned it was an official switch. It was the same thing for Kendrick.

 

Except it was explained before, during and after the match that the champions counted were those going in and whoever came out, the pins during the match didnt make you the confirmed champion at that point. This match was different to the Hardcore Scramble.

 

No ifs or buts or maybes, WWE made the rules for the match and Kendrick by those rules was not champ.

[DC 536]

Think of it like a game of Pass the Parcel. Between the time of the music starting and the music stopping, you would have had the parcel in your possession, but, at the end of the game, unless you are the one holding said package when the music stops, it doesn't mean anything, you have no claim to the prize.

 

The Championship Scramble was just like that. And, if you want to get really picky, the hardcore match you're using as an example was a Battle Royal, not a Scramble Match, so had slightly different rules.

HaHa In my mind he was champion. Don't get me wrong it will never be official, just for me personally I count it. (Teach me to be a Kendrick mark.)

Oh and yeah the hardcore match was slightly different, but it was the only really possible example.

I think we need to remember that the Hardcore title had the 24/7 rule as well.
