17 Things Only 90s UK Wrestling Fans Will Understand
3. Titles Never Changing Hands
Whenever WWE decided to have somebody win a title on UK soil, it seemed like a big deal. This is mainly because it rarely happened, and certainly not with the major belts in the promotion. Thus, when even a minor title changed hands, such as Crash Holly defeating William Regal at Rebellion in 2000, fans went bananas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roSPifQHnUM There have been a number of title changes in the UK, but they're usually the Womens/Divas Titles, or the Tag-Team belts. Generally speaking, WWE still balk at the idea of switching the WWE World Title on UK shows. Until such times as the promotion promote a major Pay-Per-View in this country, don't bet on that changing any time soon.
