Loochy's Chaotic Lineal Championships

[Samoa Looch]

HELLO!

Based on RDT's and Sky's threads about who would hold what championship/trophy/macguffin, if the holder would lose against anyone in any kind of match (not just title matches or matches with the macguffin being on the line, etc) and the conversation that came up in chat, I decided to give this a go with my own set of rules (so this could leave to very different outcomes in the lineages... or maybe not, we'll see).

The Looch Ruleset:

1. The Title WILL change hands via pinfall, submission, count-out, disqualification, referee stoppage or match stipulation.
2. The Title WILL NOT change hands via double count-out, double disqualifications, time limit draws or other types of "no contests".
3. The Title will be defended anytime the Champion enters a Match as a singles competitor (except for one exception: any kind of Tag Team Elimination Match). This means the Title will be defended not only in Singles (i.e. One-on-One Matches), but Multi-Men Matches as well. For this I will differentiate between two (or three, I guess) types of Multi-Men Matches:
   
   - No Elimination Rules are involved (For example a one fall Triple Threat Match):
   The winner of the Match wins the Title. The Champion does not have to be pinned, submitted or else to lose his Title.
   - Any kind of Elimination Rules are involved (Battle Royals for example):
   The winner of the Match does NOT (necessarily) win the Title. Instead the competitor, who was able to eliminate the Champion will be awarded the Title, regardless of the Match outcome, IF it is known who eliminated them. Should I not find out by whom the Champion was eliminated in such a Match, the Champion's advantage strikes and they do not lose the Title.
   In case of two or more competitors being involved in the Champion's elimination (for example in a Battle Royal), then all involved Eliminators become "Co-Champions". The next eligible Match either of these Co-Champions loses, lets them all lose the Title.
   - Tag Team Elimination Matches (Survivor Series Matches for example):
   These Matches will be the only ones, where a Champion enters a Match not as a singles competitor, but still has to defend the Title. In this case it's the same as it is with the "Any kind of Elimination Rules are involved" category. The Champion loses the Title to whoever eliminates them from the Match. In these Matches the Title WILL NOT change hands via count-out or disqualification.
4. The Title CAN NOT change hands more than once per Match. (Example: IRS goes into a Royal Rumble as Champion where he gets eliminated by Virgil, who is then officially the new Champion. Even if Virgil then gets eliminated by someone else later in the same Match, he'll still leave the Match as Champion.)
5. Every Title has to be defended at least once every 6 months.
   - If the Title hasn't been defended for 6 months, then the Title gets vacated and the last Challenger or Champion becomes the #1 Contender. Their next eligible Match after the 6 month period decides about the continuation of the lineage. (Example: Mantaur beats Sting for THE TITLE on January 1st. He then doesn't compete in an eligible Match (or at all) before July 1st. The Title then counts as vacated and whichever Sting's next eligible Match after July 1st is, will be the Title Match for THE TITLE.)
6. No Title is bound to their respective Promotion

Cagematch and Wrestlingdata will be my main sources for this, but I will try my best to put the best possible research into these lineages. I hope I covered it all. If there's something not clear, please let me know.

I have a couple of Championships/Trophies in mind for the start of this and I'm already on it. I will post the first lineages relatively soon, so stay tuned.

In the case of a Royal rumble shouldn’t it just be whoever wins the Royal rumble theoretically would win the title?

No, it's an Elimination-based Match, so whoever eliminates the Champion gets the Title and can't lose it again in the same Match.

It's to make it more interesting and get as many Matches as eligible into the fold as possible.

Yeah I was confused when i read Any kind of Elimination Rules are involved (Battle Royals for example) one like the winner has to eliminate whoever was champion until I got to the rule of one time a match, and was like oh. Nice.
