Title changed 4 times on Velocity?

Title changed 4 times on Velocity?

Probably just a RAW live event since Velocity is taped so if the title changes happened on it then they would have been on whatever day the show was taped, not when it aired.

Makes sense.

Hardcore title was so useless they exchanged it at house shows.....most likely a rib for the guy who had it that night having to bring it through customs.

That Vengeance was very good, any event when Kurt wins a world title is always win!

Harlem Heat would have been a top team if they had been around during the 80s. WCW just never got behind them like they could have.

It was hilarious because like the same 4 people would just exchange the belt at house shows for a week.

Could just imagine them having card games or something where the first one eliminated had to carry that title that night.
