10 Fascinating Facts About Famous Wrestling Titles

10. Nicholas Has Won More Titles In WWE Than...

...Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, an unforgettable heel that was also so ungodly over that he was cheered over Hulk Hogan in 1986.

Or at least, that's what he claims.

Hulk Hogan counters those alleged chants of "DDT!" because of course he does. He's not going to admit that he wasn't universally beloved because he's a malignant narcissist. So what's the truth here, exactly?

Researching the demented delusions of carnies is hard work and takes a bloody age. It would be easier to write a thesis on subatomic particles.

Whether Jake was as over or more over as Hogan is immaterial: he was very, very over, an unforgettable thread in the Golden Era patchwork, and he never won a title in the WWF because, once upon a time, winning one actually felt like an elusive, hard-fought accomplishment.

The Nicholas deal at WrestleMania was a dumb stunt that simply wasn't worth getting wound up about - Vince lost interest in tag team wrestling well before 2018, and besides, Nicholas was a small child. You'd have to be the weirdest sociopath to give a sh*t. Still, the stunt brought into crystal focus the sheer extent to which titles had lost all meaning. This is suboptimal, since, again, this is what wrestling is actually about.

Incidentally, Nicholas also held more tag team gold than The Rockers, the Powers of Pain, and the Fabulous Rougeaus.
