[Bobby Barrows]

Who holds the first BattleBowl title?

 

[Sky]

Have a weird one first - the man then known as Rusev tore out a TV monitor at Royal Rumble 2016, and took to Twitter to declare himself the TV Champion. Sounds like a championship to track to me! He claimed to still have it in 2019, but is that true?
Who is the current Literal TV Champion?

Spoiler: Backlash

So... Dominik Mysterio is not only a prize to be won, but now a SmackDown Tag Team Champion. Does that mean his half of the title belongs to Roman too?

 

[Sky]

Inspired by discussion in the Impact thread. Jeff Jarrett dropped the NWA belt to Ray Gonzalez at an event in Puerto Rico, but NWA and TNA didn't acknowledge the win. Currently, though, NWA does acknowledge the win. This doesn't make sense, right? Surely the true lineage should continue from Ray?

Who is the current NWA World Heavyweight Champion (continuing from Ray Gonzalez)?

Spoiler: Who is NWA Champ?

2005-04-16 Ray Gonzalez - beats Jeff Jarrett at IWA-PR Juicio Final. The result is said to be overturned because the fall was counted by the wrong referee, but in 2015, the NWA retroactively un-overturned it.
2005-05-14 Glamour Boy Shane - beats Gonzalez at an IWA-PR live event
2005-05-18 Ricky Banderas - beats Shane at an IWA-PR live event

2006-06-02 Gary Williams - beats Roode at WWR Maritime Cup III
2007-05-05 Brody Steele - beats Williams at a WWR live event
2007-12-01 Eddy Steinblock - beats Steele at EPW Catch Cup

I feared this was going to happen some day. See, Eddy Steinblock was the owner of EPW, and he effectively used the promotion as a vanity vehicle for himself. He established the EPW Heavyweight Championship, gave it to himself, and never lost it. Ever. He died before ever dropping it. The only hope in hell of this ever leaving his hands was in a match against DJ Hyde, which Steinblock won in just over a minute. Whilst in this reign, he managed to take in the Cagematch Worst Match Ever(TM), defeating an Ultimate Warrior impersonator called One Warrior Nation in an atrocious match. So yeah, this was never going to leave. Ego tripping shit wrestler is the official NWA World Champion.

It could be worse, though. You could be actually watching that match.

 

[Chris]

That's an amazing bit of history tbh

Remember Beyond the Mat? Dennis Stamp was the referee for that Terry Funk "retirement match". It was at a partly ECW-promoted event, and before the main event, Tommy Dreamer presented Terry Funk with a "Lifetime ECW Championship". Sounds like a title to me.
Who is the current Lifetime ECW Champion?

Spoiler: Who is Lifetime ECW Champ?

1997-09-11 Terry Funk - is presented with it immediately before his "retirement" match against Bret Hart at Terry Funk Presents WrestleFest: 50 Years of Funk
