world title reigns

Question
Hi Vinny,

With a lot of current WWE and TNA stars in double digit world title reigns, i just wanted to know what you saw the following wrestlers total reigns were on: Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett and Sting

We all know Flair is 16, HHH is 13, Hogan 12 and Edge 11. But the other 3 are a bit hard to tell. Do you consider the WCW international and the short lived WWA title legit world titles, becuase that would put sting on 14 not 11.

TNA have oviously boosted angle's reigns. He is somrwhere between 9-11 reigns im guessing


Thanks so much

Answer
Hi Branden,
This is a great question so I took a little extra time checking this out first of all what do we class as a legitimate World title?

Obviously we class the WWE and the WWE world as the main 2 (the latter being the WCW title)
with TNA being the number 2 wrestling company we must also count that title.

Now the WWA although it looked promising to start with it made no real affect on the wrestling world and I do not believe we can count their world title in this subject.
As for the WCW international title a lot of controversy and confusion surrounds that title but if the WWE can use two titles why couldn't WCW?

now the wrestlers you mentioned:

Kurt Angle = 1 X WCW, 4 X WWE, 1 X WWE world, 4 X TNA total = 10
Jeff Jarrett = 4 X WCW, 6 X TNA, total = 10
Sting = 2 X NWA, 6 X WCW, 3 X TNA, 2 X WCW International, total = 13

as you can see I have included the WCW international but not the WWA.
others may have different views but this is mine.
Again a great question and I hope you contact me again with more
thank you very much.
