| 91 | Posted on 11/11/04 at 23:17:19 Critic, new thread as noted. Rather than re-posting all the champions every week or so, I'll simply edit the first post accordingly, which in turn might even mean updates come ever so slightly more frequently. I will do a new post every time I update with... Longest reigning champion: WWE Champion Kurt Angle (71 days) TNM forums rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion) 2. Chris Benoit (WWE World Heavyweight Champion, PWA Xplosion World Champion) 3. Randy Orton (NEPW World Heavyweight Champion, PWA United States Champion) 4. Lance Storm (GCW North American Champion, DWF co-holder of the Intercontinental tag team titles) 5. Nunzio (WWE co-holder of the tag team titles, PWA Cruiserweight Champion) Kurt Angle still the longest reigning champ on the TNM boards, furthered by another four days from last time. Matt Hardy drops off the rankings list after I dropped the EWWW from the page due to no updates being forthcoming. Consider it a two month limit in order to stop the list being filled up with dead feds. Randy Orton though, with his winning the NEPW title, joins the list in third place. Angle remains top, cementing his spot as the most popular wrestler in the TNM world right now. And he still looks solid as champion in both GCW and WWE. |
| Anubis | Posted on 11/12/04 at 22:37:08 Couple of corrections real quick about the IWF listings. There's a typo in the IWF Tag Team Champions: the tag team name is "Split Seconds". The other is actually mostly my fault for not putting the date on the ST. Valentine's Day Massacre Pay-Per-View: it was actually held on February 13, 2000, because that was the Sunday. The only place I put the date, alas, was on the "IWF Title History" page. Anyway, yeah, those pages are always up-to-date with concern to the cards, so all relevent information can be found there if anyone is interested. (Since I run several cards at once, sometimes the belts change hands more than once per update, such as this time where the Militia held the belts and then Split Seconds.) Anyway, yeah, thanks! |
| 91 | Posted on 11/12/04 at 22:50:58 I KNEW I'd get that wrong. I went for the 14th, obvious reasons, figuring it could still be a day or so either way. Anyway, edits'll be made as appropriate (one of these days, I won't make ANY little errors). |
| 91 | Posted on 11/17/04 at 20:56:05 At Justins request, I removed PWW and PWA, which narrows down the rankings somewhat. Longest reigning champion: WWE Champion Kurt Angle (77 days) TNM forums rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion) 2. Paul London (GCW Cruiserweight Champion, NEPW Cruiserweight Champion) Yeah, so much for multiple champions. Angle still dominates the TNM forums, with only him and Paul London holding two titles. Paul London? Howsabout that. Angle remains the longest reigning champion, and is starting to stretch the length of that reign to a respectable little figure. |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 11/18/04 at 02:54:02 Hehe, ironically, Kurt Angle is getting close to that number of days as GCW World Heavyweight champion as well. |
| 91 | Posted on 11/22/04 at 22:26:31 Longest Reigning Champion: WWE Champion Kurt Angle (81 days) TNM forums rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion) 2. Randy Orton (NEPW World Heavyweight Title, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) 3. Lance Storm (GPW United States Champion, co-holder of the DWF Intercontinental Tag Team Titles) 4. Christopher Daniels (GCW Television Champion, co-holder of the MCW Tag Team Titles) 5. Paul London (GCW Cruiserweight Champion, NEPW Cruiserweight Champion) Kurt Angle remains the longest reigning champion, but that gap is being closed right now by several champions across a couple of feds. Still, he's getting on for three months now, so kudos Kurt Angle. Angle also remains top of the rankings, with three new additions to the list. Randy Orton and Lance Storm return, and a debutant to the rankings, Christopher Daniels, slots in nicely in fourth. Question is, when will Angle drop off the top spot? |
| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 11/23/04 at 02:11:00 91 - you can remove JHW from the list - i've pretty much abandoned it. Do add NWA:TNA (my new circuit) though. |
| 91 | Posted on 12/06/04 at 21:52:30 Longest Reigning Champion: WWE Champion Kurt Angle, DWF Intercontinental Champion Brad Armstrong, DWF Television Champion Steve Corino & DWF Cruiserweight Champion Low Ki (all 84 days) TNM Forums Rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion) 2. Randy Orton (NEPW World Heavyweight Title, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) 3. Lance Storm (GPW United States Champion, co-holder of the DWF Intercontinental Tag Team Titles) 4. Christopher Daniels (GCW Television Champion, co-holder of the MCW Tag Team Titles) 5. Paul London (GCW Cruiserweight Champion, NEPW Cruiserweight Champion) No changes in the rankings, partly due to a lack of activity, so Angle maintains his customary top spot. Such a lack of activity has also meant that three DWF title holders have drawn level with Kurt Angle as longest reigning champion on the TNM boards. That's a bit of an odd coincidence. In any case, three other men stand as longest reigning champ for the first time (in this thread at least), those being Brad Armstrong, Steve Corino and Low Ki. Well, I like them anyway. I'll try not to get all big headed about anything. |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 12/07/04 at 01:53:37BCW (Rick Gerrard - last card 18/11/84)I see four ERRORS here in the "bcw" section... First, BCW is NOT CW. CW, while posted to the BCW forum, is definitely not the same roster of workers that BCW had by any means... in fact, CW is twenty years prior to BCW. BCW was Beta Championship Wrestling, whereas CW is just good ol' Championship Wrestling (more of a take on the old NWA Crockett territory than anything). (I really should ask Oliver to rename my forum folder) Second, it's GARRARD, not GERRARD. Almost as if I were to call you 92, instead of 91, ya know? And third, unless you know something that I don't (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), while Garvin and Steamboat did defeat the Midnight Express on the November 4, 1984, card, it was by disqualification, meaning that the Midnight Express KEPT the tag team titles. So therefore, the Express are still in the midst of their third tag team title reign, while Garvin and Steamboat will be challenging for them at the next card (RumbleClash '84). And fourth and final, the last CW card was held on 11/11/84, not 18/11/84, as November 18 is the date for the upcoming RumbleClash '84 card, for which a primer was posted but nothing else. 91, you do a very commendable job with this. |
| Justin | Posted on 12/07/04 at 04:13:27 Glenn Gilberti regained the GPW TV Title on 11/21/04 at the GPW Pay Per View "Bound For Glory" |
| 91 | Posted on 12/07/04 at 18:43:10 I'll tell you what I did - I saw your last card was the 16th, so I figured I needed to check the cards for the 30th and 23rd, completely forgetting you might have had a PPV in the middle. Oh well, everyone on this list gets a chance for me to get their circuit wrong. |
| 91 | Posted on 12/31/04 at 02:58:09 Oh Christ, I never saw Rick Gerr... Garrards post. Hang on... **edit** Wow, I didn't need to correct half those mistakes as they ended up happening anyway. First Vince McMahon copies my ideas, and now you... :P |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 12/31/04 at 03:12:02 And the last GCW card was 10/10/04, silly monkey! |
| 91 | Posted on 12/31/04 at 03:19:29 Longest Reigning Champion: WWE Champion Kurt Angle (91 days... hmmmm) TNM Forum Rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion) 2. Paul London (WWE Cruiserweight Champion, GCW Cruiserweight Champion, NEPW Cruiserweight Champion) 3. Edge (NDW Global Heavyweight Champion, co-holder of the WWE World Tag Team Titles) 4. Randy Orton (NEPW World Heavyweight Champion, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) 5. Lance Storm (GPW United States Champion, co-holder of the DWF Intercontinental Tag Team Titles) 6. Sean O'Haire (co-holder of the NDW Tag Team Titles, co-holder of the DWF Tag Team Titles) 7. Charlie Haas (co-holder of the WWE Tag Team Titles, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) Wow, seven names on the list, we have a new record (and even after a few feds were dropped due to lack of activity - a few more were added besides). Speaking of records, Paul London becomes the FIRST PERSON IN TNM HISTORY, or since I've been doing this list at least, to hold three titles at once, assuming I've not made any errors. If they weren't all cruiserweight titles, he might even be top of the list, but it's kinda hard to suggest three cruiser titles is better than two world titles, so Kurt Angle maintains his customary position top of the list, while the wrestling world waits for him to slip up in either the WWE or GCW. Whilst on the subject of customary spots, Kurt Angle is once again clear as the longest reigning champion in TNM, with a 91 (like I said - hmmmm) day reign as WWE champion, moving back in front of several DWF guys, mainly because Cerberos has posted more cards than me recently. Just behind though are DWF title holders Brad Armstrong, Steve Corino and Low Ki all on 85 days, and GCW champion Kurt Angle, again, on 79 days. Two weeks of cards Snabby, that's all it'll take. New to the list are Sean O'Haire, along with Charlie Haas and Edge following the both of them taking tag team gold in the WWE in the past few days. Technically both Edge and Randy Orton are similarly matched in terms of what belts they hold, but I'm pushing Edge ahead since the feds he represents as champion have been more active recently. |
| 91 | Posted on 12/31/04 at 03:21:49On 12/31/04 at 03:12:02, Snabbit888 wrote:And the last GCW card was 10/10/04, silly monkey!I blame Critic for bumping the Monday card in front of the weekend card. I guess that means Angles GCW reign ties the DWF guys on 85 days now. One more weeks worth of cards and the fame and glory I know you've secretly wanted will be all yours... assuming Angle holds the belt that long. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 12/31/04 at 04:07:45 Actually, the NDW Tag Team Champions are now Dementia (Sean O'Haire & Damian 666), who took the belts off of Hardy and 'Taker on week 59 in an epic match. That should put Sean O'Haire somewhere in the top group - probably at #6 or 7. Considering NDW is now on hiatus, I expect that this may be the last time that NDW's champions will be listed. Then again, it might be a few weeks until LIW crowns a champion, so perhaps it would be better if you kept NDW up there until it timed out in a month. Up to you. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| 91 | Posted on 12/31/04 at 16:46:13 Whew, now edited in such a way that you could never tell. I left NDW up there since a) the final card was comparitively recent and b) you made it sound like it could make a triumphant return down the line. Still, LIW will go up once at least one champion has been crowned. |
| 91 | Posted on 01/08/05 at 18:57:47 And as always, get ready for a bunch of people to point out what I've done wrong or missed. Anyway... Longest Reigning Champion: DWF Intercontinental Champion Brad Armstrong, DWF Television Champion Steve Corino & DWF Cruiserweight Champion Low Ki (all 99 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1. Kurt Angle (WWE Champion, GWF World Heavyweight Champion) 2. Edge (NDW Global Heavyweight Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, co-holder of the WWE World Tag Team Titles) 3. Paul London (GWF Cruiserweight Champion, WWE Cruiserweight Champion, NEPW Cruiserweight Champion) 4. Jerry Lynn (DWF World Heavyweight Champion, co-holder of the NWA:TNA tag team titles) 5. Randy Orton (NEPW World Heavyweight Champion, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) 6. Lance Storm (GPW United States Champion, co-holder of the DWF Intercontinental Tag Team Titles) 7 & 8. Doug & Danny Basham (GWF tag team champions, WWE tag team champions) 9. Sean O'Haire (co-holder of the NDW Tag Team Titles, co-holder of the DWF Tag Team Titles) 10. Charlie Haas (co-holder of the WWE Tag Team Titles, co-holder of the GPW Tag Team Titles) 11. Molly Holly (WWE Womens Champion x 2) With several new circuits cropping up (including two WWE circuits - prepare to be confused), there are four new additions to the list. Paul London drops to third as Edge joins him as the second guy ever to hold three titles simultaneously, but Edges belts of course are slightly more prestigious than cruiserweight titles are. Angle stays top, no surprises there but with a drop in activity again from Cerby, three DWF title holders all move ahead of him in the longest reigning champion stakes so Angle finally drops off the top for the first time and Brad Armstrong, Steve Corino and Low Ki take centre stage. Ironically none of them hold any other TNM titles and remain off the rankings list. So, eleven guys on the rankings list. Angle tops it, no shocker there since he's been on top since day one. Jerry Lynn is the highest new entry in fourth spot after winning the DWF world title and NWA:TNA tag titles - the belts are, on paper, as prestigious as the ones Orton holds in fifth but Lynn takes fourth due to circuit activity. Storm stays in sixth, and Doug and Danny Basham move into the next two spots. Having been GCW tag champions for so long, someone finally saw the need to share Snabbys love and they hold TerryFunkas version of the WWE tag team titles. Finally Molly Holly is the first woman on the list, holding two sets of WWE womens titles. It may be sexist of me to consider the womens title lower ranked than any of the mens titles but, well, sue me, no girls post here anyway. Oh yeah, NEPW will drop off the list by the next update after the two month cut off limit I'm applying. SSPW is only a couple of weeks away too. Just for the record and all... |
| Justin | Posted on 01/22/05 at 17:00:08 GPW has been restarted with a new roster & new champions: GPW World Heavyweight Champion: Triple H GPW World Tag Team Champions: America's Most Wanted See GPW Impact 1/20/05 (Week 1) & GPW Impact 1/27/05 (Week 2) results for full details. |
| AllPowerfulGARTH | Posted on 01/23/05 at 22:37:28 Might as well put my circuit up on here, knowing full well my statistics will have no effect on the overall rankings. Well, what can you do... GIJWF Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion: Ken Masters (defeated Night Creeper, Armageddon 2007) Intercontinental Champion: Spearhead (defeated Duke, Survivor Series 2007) European Champion: Salvo (won six-man match last pinning Forcewave, WrestleMania 2008 ) Tag Team Champions: The Darkness [Dee Jay & Steel Brigade] (defeated The New Enemy, February Week One RAW 2008 ) Hardcore Champion: Blowtorch (defeated Scrap-Iron, December Week Two RAW 2007) Cruiserweight Champion: Crazylegs (defeated Python Officer, WrestleMania 2008 ) |
| SuperstarJimiC | Posted on 03/03/05 at 02:44:23 SJPW (Super JAPAN Pro WRESTLING) Here are my champions: SJPW World Heavyweight Champion: Toshiaki Kawada (defeated Keiji Muto on Week 20 in Nagasaki, JAPAN) SJPW Hardcore Champion: Tiger Mask IV (defeated Tommy Dreamer in a tournament final at SJPW King of the Death Match in Fukuoka, JAPAN) SJPW World Tag Team Champions: Title Vacant (6/25/05) (last held by Sabu and Toshiaki Kawada) SJPW Cruiserweight Champion: Sabu (defeated Petey Williams on Week 20 in Nagasaki, JAPAN) If you fans read this, maybe you guys will post your champions on here now. I think we'll have to post them ourselves now, because I don't think 91 is posting them anymore. If he is, I don't know. |
| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 03/03/05 at 14:29:40 HARD KNOX WRESTLING HEAD OF THE CLASS (singles champion): Chris Benoit (won in June 2005 by defeating Raven, Juventud Guerrera and Spikyjim in a 4 way elimination match) HEAVY HITTERS (tag champions): VACANT (To be decided in a 1 night tournament in August 2005) |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/04/05 at 04:13:27 Well guys, it's coming up on 2 months since the last time 91 updated this. I think he always did an excellent job, but since he hasn't been around much lately we might want to start thinking about someone taking over if he doesn't show up and let us know he's still interested in the next few days. With that in mind, are there any volunteers? Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| SuperstarJimiC | Posted on 03/08/05 at 00:39:39 I have an idea, how about all of us updating our own champions? Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to be a smart-ass, & don't take it the wrong way, but I think it's an idea. Face it, I don't think anybody will stay long to update every last champion, but that's a suggestion!! |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/08/05 at 00:54:48 The problem with that is that this thread will get extremely crowded extremely fast, and that there will be no real way to see a comprehensive list of everyone's champions together, which is the real point behind this. I also really like the comparisons that 91 made. Perhaps I'll see if I can put something together if nobody else steps forward to do the job. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| SuperstarJimiC | Posted on 03/08/05 at 01:02:14 Whatever you say "Simon Cowell of TNM". Just Joking don't take it the wrong way, but I still say that was a good suggestion. |
| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 03/08/05 at 01:12:26 what if everyone posts their updates here on whatever regular basis they like and then whoever is editing the comprehensive list can take that info to make their changes and delete the posts as they are incorporated into the list? that way the editor needs to look in 1 place for stuff to change instead of 10-20 different threads. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/08/05 at 01:17:37 I was just thinking about that. I'm working on putting together what's already in this thread (and maybe a few more) into an Excel file as we speak. I'll try to post the list along with stats (longest reigning, plus the top champions list) in a few days. To make this easy for me, everyone please use the following format: Promotion Name - Date of Last CardAll dates should be in American format (month/day/year) to ensure that nothing gets funky. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/08/05 at 01:23:55 nicely done. I would offer to help, but I'm already spreading too thin. "modding" for an actual game website, working on CW, and busy season at work starts this week. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/08/05 at 01:49:42 Assuming everything goes well, I will be posting this on Wednesday. I've collected info on LIW, SJPW, CW, GCW, IWA-NE, NAWA, DCW, NWJ and HKW so far. Thus I am going to need information from the following circuits which seem to be active (updated in the last 3 pages in this forum) before then: ianclark's WWF cerberos' GWF djmasterscooter's WWF FuncrusherPlus' WWWF HugeRockStar760's RW If I missed you and you want to be included on the list, just post the requested information and you will be. Once the updated list is posted, I'll see about deleting the individual posts for that topic to clean things up, then we can do it all again in about 2 weeks. If you don't post that information here by then, you won't appear on the list this time. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/09/05 at 17:31:50 Longest Reigning Champion: LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Alex Wright (220 days) TNM Forum Ratings: 1) Rick Steamboat (DCW World Champion, CW Tag Team Champion) 2) Christopher Daniels (GCW Television Champion, NAWA Tag Team Champion) 3) Alex Wright (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 4) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion) 5) Samoa Joe (IWA Heavyweight Champion) What a difference a couple months can make! Alex Wright rockets to the top as longest reigning champion on the boards with a very impressive 7 month title reign thus far in LIW, a reign nearly twice as long as any other champions recorded in this update. Of course, the fact that cards have been monthly in LIW rather than weekly allow this to happen fairly quickly, but fear not, cards should come a bit closer together from here on our, so there is still a chance to catch up. Because this month's list is a bit smaller than in the past, the Forum Rankings have opened up somewhat, with only two common champions. In the interest of having a list that's at least somewhat interesting, I moved to individual circuits' Heavyweight Champions and ranked them by title length to fill in at least five. I plan to continue doing this if there aren't at least that many common champions just to give a sense of who is being used the most. Interestingly, the focus seems to have shifted from WWE wrestlers to mainly indy and oldschool wrestlers - I blame at least part of that on the wide usage of my ROH rules. With that in mind, Kurt Angle drops out of the number one spot for the first time in... ever, really. He is replaced by Rick Steamboat, who exploded onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere. Christopher Daniels similarly rockets towards the top due to a surprising lack of competition. Alex Wright takes third due to his stupidly long title reign in LIW, Angle falls all the way to 4th, and is only saved by how well he's been put over in GCW, and Samoa Joe emerges as the new 5th place holder. I'm pretty sure that this list didn't include all of the active circuits in the forums here, so I'm going to let everyone know now that the next update should be around March 23, so everyone please post your updated information here between the 20th and the 22nd so I can put the information together. Remember, if you don't post it here, you won't be included in the Roll Call. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| ianclark | Posted on 03/10/05 at 01:09:06 Hi there, I've just seen your request on the forum (I've been AWOL for most of the last two weeks - just quick updates to keep in touch!). What exactly do you need from me?? |
| americamamushi | Posted on 03/10/05 at 01:48:12 Look on page two of this thread toward the bottom. CotD posted what info he needs. |

| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 03/10/05 at 04:42:41 If we are starting fresh, do you think it's a good idea to get rid of the posts from the previous version so we don't have fluff between the update and the comments about it? |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/10/05 at 05:13:47 No. We've always kept the old records before, so I see no reason in dropping them now. To keep things short, I WILL be deleting the user posted information after I do each update, however. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/10/05 at 06:18:061) Rick Steamboat (DCW World Champion, CW Tag Team Champion)Well there's a first for everything... not only is he the first CW champion of any kind to ever make the top 5, he does it in style at #1. And yes Eric, it does seem that indy and old school are whooping up on WWE in the top 5. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/20/05 at 21:39:20 The Roll Call of Champions should be updated on Wednesday, so the time has come to post your updated information. If you don't post it here, it won't end up being included in this Roll Call if it isn't already here. If it is, it will be left unchanged from the last time, but failing to provide updated stats for the next Roll Call (in other words, the second time in a row new stats aren't posted) will result in it being considered inactive and removed until such a time as new information is posted. Once again, here is the requested format: Promotion Name - Date of Last CardThanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/20/05 at 22:18:17 If the titles have not changed hands but you've run new shows, post your circuit's name, that your titles have not changed hands, and the date of the last card.

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 03/23/05 at 16:19:36 Longest Reigning Champion: LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Alex Wright (247 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Juventud Guerrera (SJPW Hardcore Champion, SHK HEAD OF THE CLASS) 2) Ron Killings (NAWA Television Champion, NWA-WC Western States Champion) 3) Paul London (LIW New York State Tag Team Champion, GCW Cruiserweight Champion, DCW Lightweight Champion) 4) Alex Wright (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 5) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: ianclark's WWF, Justin's NWA-WC Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 40% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 40% Percent of Oldcshool Wrestlers in Forum Rankings: 0% Alex Wright still stands astride the forum like a collosus with his 8 month reign, having held his title for more than 100 days longer than any other champion on the boards. SHK's Juventud Guerrera and GCW's Kurt Angle are in second and third for the length of their reigns respectively, with Angle's stock dropping due to Snabbit888's hiatus (and possibly due to rumors that he may be retiring soon as well). Quite an upset in the Forum Rankings. Both Rick Steamboat and Christopher Daniels, who were at the last count the only double champions on the boards, have been dethroned by losing one of their titles, and three more multiple champions have risen to replace them, and really it was pretty close as to who would get which ranking. Juventud Guerrera ended up getting the nod for holding titles considered more valuable within their circuits than the other two. Ron Killings had less gold than Paul London, but because one of his titles is a Heavyweight Title, he's a bit more prestigious. Paul London appears to be becoming quite a workhorse of the boards here, holding more titles than anyone else. He is, however, mainly being used as a midcard player, so he only makes the three spot. Alex Wright and Kurt Angle round out the top five due to their long title reigns. WWE's share of the Forum Rankings has increased this time, while TNA and the indies have the same representation as before. Perhaps the fact that Wrestlemania is looming has something to do with the resurgence of WWE Superstars being given titles, or perhaps people just really like Paul London. Rick Steamboat's loss of the DCW World Title to Gene Snitsky drops Oldschool Wrestlers out of the Rankings once again - perhaps their presence at the top of the rankings last time was just a fluke? We'll see. Finally, just a note. CW, IWA-NE and NWJ were not updated by the people running them in this Roll Call. If they are not updated for the next one, they will be removed from the Roll Call until they update once again. The next update is tentatively scheduled for April 6, so please post your updated information on April 3-5. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 04/04/05 at 16:05:29 You guys know the drill. The Roll Call will be updated on Wednesday, so please post your information here ASAP. This is especially important for Rick's CW, rey619's IWA-NE, and Carlzilla's NWJ. None of them were updated in the last Roll Call, and if I don't get new information for this one they will be dropped from the roll call until the next update when they post their champions for me to collect. The requested format can be seen if you check back a bit. It's quoted in a past message to make it easy to find. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 04/06/05 at 16:14:48 Longest Reigning Champion: SHK HEAD OF THE CLASS Juventud Guerrera, SHK HEAVY HITTER Joel Maximo and SHK HEAVY HITTER Jose Maximo (All 202 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Juventud Guerrera (SJPW Hardcore Champion, SHK HEAD OF THE CLASS) 2) Ron Killings (NAWA Television Champion, NWA-WC Western States Champion) 3) Christopher Daniels (IWA Heavyweight Champion, GCW Television Champion) 4) Paul London (GCW Cruiserweight Champion, DCW Lightweight Champion) 5) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Vertigo's CP Timed Out: Rick's CW Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 40% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 40% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% With Alex Wright's defection from LIW and his subsequent loss of the title, he has FINALLY dropped out of the running for longest reigning champion on the forums. This has allowed the School of Hard Knox to field all of its champions as replacements. Considering how high Juventud Guerrera's position in the Forum Rankings is, there's no doubt that he makes great sense as the longest reigning champion, but with more than one guy up there it just feels messy to me. So I will officially be rooting for the SAT to lose the tag team titles. ;D Christopher Daniels makes his triumphant return to the Forum Rankings, grabbing position number 3 after winning the IWA Heavyweight Title from Samoa Joe in a great match. Daniels had previously dropped off the Rankings after losing the NAWA Tag Team Titles, but with a victory over Samoa Joe, he's baaaack! And he's better than ever! Got a knaaaack! For makin' things better! Face faaaacts! 'Cuz your opinions don't... matter... Sorry. Got distracted there for a second. Paul London drops a spot due to the strong return of Christopher Daniels and the loss of the LIW New York State Tag Team Titles, with Alex Wright similarly dropping off the list because... you know... he doesn't hold a title any more. That'll do that to a guy. With four double champions (which is the most we've had since restarting the roll call), GCW's Kurt Angle is hanging on by his fingernails in position number five. The second we get a fifth double champion, he is out of there unless someone else puts a title on him. The big news on the representation front is that TNA has drawn up and equal to WWE in its percentage of the Forum Rankings. Exciting TNA wrestlers such as Christopher Daniels, Ron Killings, AJ Styles and the like seem to hold more appeal to the forum goers here than the next generation of WWE talent (Edge, Randy Orton, Batista, John Cena, Carlito), with the possible exception of Paul London who remains the darling of the internet. The indies are now only represented by Juventud Guerrera, and with consistent rumors of him signing with WWE in the near future... the indies could be unrepresented for the first time since I started keeping track. This is especially likely if I add a Foreign Wrestlers category, which I am considering since there are several Japanese promotions on the board and several more that use a good deal of foreign talent. As noted above, Rick's CW has dropped off the Roll Call due to inactivity, and SuperstarJimiC's SJPW, ianclark's WWF and Snabbit888's GCW are all in danger of doing the same if they do not post updated information for the next update, which should be April 20th. As always, please post your updates here between April 17 and April 19 if you want to be sure that they make it onto the next Roll Call. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/09/05 at 02:04:39 inactivity indeed. I just last night finally got all the matches for the next CW card entered into TNM. Talk about not working on a circuit much lately. ;) Been too busy with real life things to effectively stay awake long enough to run a coherent TNM card. But CW isn't dead... just think of it like a really bad fungus... you think you've killed it, it lays dormant... and when you least expect it, it returns. Or something like that. :-) |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 04/20/05 at 17:43:24 Longest Reigning Champion(s): IWA Tag Team Champions Jason Cross & Jack Evans (184 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Harry Harris (NAWA World Champion) 2) Christopher Daniels (IWA Heavyweight Champion) 3) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 4) Yuji Nagata (NWJ Heavyweight Champion) 5) Matt Stryker (CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: jekyll316's IWF. Timed Out: SuperstarJimiC's SJPW, ianclark's WWF, Snabbit888's GCW. Number of Active Circuits: 9 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Both of HKW's titles rather abruptly changed hands since the last HKW show, leading to Juventud Guerrera and The SAT losing their spots as the longest reigning champions on the boards after two weeks. In their place comes IWA's team of Generation Next: Jason Cross and Jack Evans! Generation Next have held their titles for about six months, and incidentally are currently the longest reigning champions by approximately 80 days! From the looks of things, nobody's going to have much luck catching up with them any time soon - they'll probably have to drop their titles to be dethroned. With the timing out of three circuits, each with multiple champions, plus several titles changing hands, there are officially NO double champions, to say nothing of triple champions. This has limited the Rankings to the 5 longest reigning Heavyweight Champions... and none of them have held the title for significantly longer than two months! The situation is therefore very fluid right now, and chances are good that we will see some major changes in the next Roll Call. As a result of this, a fantasy wrestler is on the list for the first time ever... and in the number one spot at that! Neither Juventud Guerrera or Ron Killings hold any titles any longer, so both drop rather suddenly out of the rankings. Christopher Daniels manages to hang on and even move up a spot based on the strength of his reign in IWA-NE. And Arn Anderson, Yuji Nagata and Matt Stryker all make extremely unlikely debuts on the list simply because they've held their titles for over 30 days. If pretty much ANY double champions show up on the next Roll Call, they will quite likely be off of the list. As for representation... with the addition of Yuji Nagata and Harry Harris to the Rankings, I've added two new categories to track (International and Fantasy respectively). WWE is now totally unrepresented in the Forum Rankings, which is fairly interesting if you think about it. The trend of people towards focusing more on other workers continues unabated - perhaps due to the fact that so much of the WWE product is fairly stale at the moment. All of the other categories each pick up 20% without a problem; this speaks volumes about the lack of a real alternative product to WWE. Once again, SuperstarJimiC's SJPW, ianclark's WWF, and Snabbit888's GCW have all dropped off the Roll Call due to inactivity while only one circuit has joined. This brings the number of circuits represented here down to only 9. Now, I know for a fact that there are other circuits that are posted on the boards here, and since the number of circuits represented in the Roll Call is so small, perhaps some of them will join for the next update? I certainly hope so. The Roll Call is supposed to be fun for everyone, but I can't include people if they don't post their information in this thread before the next update. If you want to join, you simply need to post your circuits champions, the current date in your circuit and the dates your champions won their titles in this thread - the requested format is on page 3, I believe, and doing so only takes a minute. Speaking of the next update, it should be on Wednesday, May 4th. Try to post your information on May 1-3 to ensure the Roll Call is as accurate as possible. Comments and questions are welcome. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| rey619 | Posted on 04/21/05 at 09:29:32 I think one of the reasons why none WWE wrestlers are in the rankings is because many circuits use your Rulesheet. The indy-style of it makes people want to stay clear of WWE wrestlers most of the time. The massive amount of new indy exports may also be a factor. If you have a database with 500 people, only 15-20% of them will be WWE. If you use random selection, WWE will inevitably be under represented. Or maybe we're just sick of 'em ;D |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 05/05/05 at 01:36:36 Longest Reigning Champion(s): IWA Tag Team Champions Jason Cross & Jack Evans (226 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Matt Stryker (CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion) 2) Harry Harris (NAWA World Champion) 3) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 4) Yuji Nagata (NWJ Heavyweight Champion) 5) Manny Fernandez (CP Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Rick Garrard's CW. Timed Out: americamamushi's DCW Number of Active Circuits: 9 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 40% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Generation Next of Jason Cross and Jack Evans remain as the longest reigning champions on the boards by far, with over 100 days more under their belts than their nearest pursuer (who, incidentally, is NAWA International Champion Norman Smiley). Generation Next has continued their long dominant streak in IWA-NE, but if ANYONE can end their seemingly unstoppable title run, it could just be The Hardy Boyz, who they are scheduled to face soon! We'll see if they can hold onto their position when the next Roll Call comes around - and if they do, they might just beat the record for the longest title reign recorded thus far (Alex Wright's 247 day run with the LIW New York State Heavyweight Title)! Once again we have no double champions, so the rankings were determined by taking Heavyweight Title holders and seeing who had held their belts the longest. This month, CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion Matt Stryker surprises everyone and rockets straight to the top spot, handily shoving NAWA World Champion out of his way. Arn Anderson and Yuji Nagata hold on to their respective spots, but with the fall of Christopher Daniels to Low Ki in IWA-NE, a spot opens up for CW Heavyweight Champion Manny Fernandez. On the representation front, WWE remains totally unrepresented in the Forum Rankings, and with the fall of Christopher Daniels to Low Ki in IWA-NE, TNA joins them with a big fat 0% of the most influential champions from their ranks. As rey619 speculated, the current prevalence of my ROH Rules and the recent increase in the availibility of indy exports probably explain a large portion of this. Indy wrestlers and foreign workers both hold onto 20% without any real change. What rey619's speculation doesn't explain is the fact that Oldschool Wrestlers presently rule the rankings, with 2 of the 5 ranked wrestlers falling into this category. Why is this? I dunno... My guess is it has something to do with CW returning to the Roll Call and the fact that almost everyone's Heavyweight Title has changed hands in the last 3 months. Manny Fernandez's puny 20 day Heavyweight Title reign is actually the 5th largest recorded on the boards here, and really that's kinda sad. Another sad thing is the fact that there are only 9 active circuits on the Roll Call. I know for a fact that there are at least a few other circuits on the boards that aren't represented here, and really that's a shame. Pimp the Roll Call to them, people! PIMP IT AS YOU HAVE NEVER PIMPED BEFORE! The more circuits that are on the list, the more double champions there are, the longer the rankings will be, and the more interesting all of this is to put together and read. Even though Rick has brought CW back to the Roll Call, DCW timing out after a month of inactivity really hurts, because that's one less circuit with three or more champions (At present, only two remain). With jekyll316's IWF failing to update, we are in danger of dropping down to 8 circuits on the next Roll Call, and that makes me wonder... Is the TNM Renaissance winding down? Feel free to discuss. In the mean time, the next Roll Call should be on May 18th, so try to post your information here between the 15th and the 17th so I can keep things accurate and up to date. Thanks again. Remember, there is no Roll Call without you guys. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| americamamushi | Posted on 05/05/05 at 09:25:21 now i feel as though I should try and hurry over my DCW bookers block/creative burnout just for the sole purpose of the Roll Call ;) Hopefully I'll be able to turn something out before the next update. |

I'm not saying that I booked the match, but I would go as far as saying I fed Hawk to someone that had dominated him in the past to rid Hawk of the CW Title. ;) And my tag team champions are now at least 76 days into their reign.. while Fernandez is guaranteed at least 34 days as champion... (until the BIG Wrestling Odyssey card). |

It's fairly coming soon, though. |
| AllPowerfulGARTH | Posted on 05/18/05 at 02:16:55Titles which haven't been filled yet don't appear in the Roll Call. If they've been vacated, they do. Similarly, circuits without title holders don't appear... mainly because it makes my life easier. The instant you fill some of those titles, though, you're in. Similarly, the PWM Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, and Middleweight Titles won't be appearing on this Roll Call because they don't exist yet for the purposes of this.I just wanted to belong. Sniffle. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 05/19/05 at 03:24:13 Longest Reigning Champion(s): GWF World Heavyweight Champion Muhammed Hassan (325 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Masahiro Chono (NWJ Heavyweight Champion, GWF World Champion) 2) Muhammed Hassan (GWF World Heavyweight Champion) 3) Matt Stryker (CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion) 4) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 5) Harry Harris (NAWA World Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Yun's PWM, the GWA Umbrella Fed, cerberos's GWF Timed Out: jekyll316's IWF Number of Active Circuits: 11 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Muhammed Hassan explodes onto the Roll Call of Champions with a stunning 325 day title reign. That's nearly a year, and almost 100 days more than IWA-NE's Generation Next, who just last time seemed as if they could never be dislodged. Alex Wright's previous record has been handily shattered, and with Muhammed Hassan looking as strong as ever it may be ages before anyone can equal his title reign! We have a Double Champion! Masahiro Chono holds the GWA World Title as well as the NWJ Heavyweight Title. In effect, he is THE MAN in the GWA Umbrella Fed, and since nobody else even comes close to duplicating his feat, he is THE MAN on the TNM boards as well. Muhammed Hassan's impressive 235 day reign pulls him all the way into 2nd, with Matt Stryker dropping to 3rd, Arn Anderson to 4th, and Harry Harris all the way to 5th place. With more promotions with more titles on the Roll Call now, it seems to be only a matter of time before more double (and triple?) champions start to show up, shaking the Forum Rankings up quite a bit. On the representation front, things have evened out once more. WWE has regained 20% of the representation as Muhammed Hassan gets the Jesus Push in GWF, while the tepid Manny Fernandez drops off the list, returning Oldschool Wrestlers to a mere 20%. Indy, foreign and fantasy wrestlers all stick at 20% apiece, although the foreign wrestler on the Forum Rankings is actually not the same one as last time. With 2 more circuits posted now than last time and one more waiting in the wings for a chance to shine, things are starting to get interesting again on the Roll Call of Champions. There are several other new circuits on the boards which will hopefully be interested in joining for next time, and shockingly NOBODY is in danger of timing out at the moment! All we need now is Snabbit and Americamamushi to get off their butts and start posting again and I will be one happy nerdboy! The next Roll Call should be up June 1st. Please post your information towards the end of May so I can be sure that I have your up to date champions. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 06/01/05 at 20:49:54 Longest Reigning Champion(s): GWF World Heavyweight Champion Muhammed Hassan (325 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Masahiro Chono (NWJ Heavyweight Champion, GWF World Champion) 2) Juventud Guerrera (HKW HEAD OF THE CLASS, GWA World Cruiserweight Champion) 3) Muhammed Hassan (GWF World Heavyweight Champion) 4) Matt Stryker (CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion) 5) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: 91's DWF, americamamushi's ASWA, rey619's GWL, MattHarms' GWE Timed Out: None Number of Active Circuits: 15 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 40% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Muhammed Hassan remains at the top of the forum with the longest title reign, both at the moment and indeed in the entire history of the Roll Call. Since GWF wasn't updated this time, however, he is poised to drop off the list due to inactivity, which would allow Generation Next to easily regain the spot that he now occupies... unless they drop the titles, of course. Things may get very interesting in this in the next Roll Call Update. In the actual Forum Rankings, Masahiro Chono remains atop the pile as THE MAN in the GWA Umbrella fed and the Heavyweight Champion of GWA Member NWJ. No other wrestler holds two Heavyweight Titles at this point, but someone comes close! Juventud Guerrera screams back onto the Rankings after several months of inactivity by recapturing the HKW HEAD OF THE CLASS Title to go along with his GWA World Cruiserweight Title. Interestingly, both of the top two wrestlers at the moment are foreigners, something I don't believe we've seen before. Hassan is holding on to the number three spot by his fingernails, and is poised to fall from the rankings if GWF isn't updated for the next Roll Call. Matt Stryker is in a similar boat due to CP's lack of update, but for the moment holds the four spot. Arn Anderson just barely avoids being edged off the list and falls to fifth, but his grip there is fairly strong, with a healthy month lead over the next highest wrestler. Fantasy Wrestlers are no longer represented on the Forum Rankings after Harry Harris' fall from the fifth position. Interestingly, there are actually MORE Fantasy Wrestler champions on the Roll Call than in the last one... it's just that none of them have held their respective titles for all that long. Foreign Wrestlers take their portion of the representation, and now make up nearly half of the Forum Rankings. Is this just a coincidence, or is the state of American Wrestling so poor that fans would prefer to watch products in another language to watching the tripe shoveled to them by WWE and TNA? Hard to say. Four more circuits have joined the Roll Call and none have dropped off this update, which brings the total number of active circuits to 15, which may well be the largest number since I took the thing over. While there are 2 circuits in danger of timing out (CP and GWF), the forums here appear to be very healthy at this point. With another new Ruleset in the works and my own still coming (albeit at a slower pace), things should be very interesting for the next several months. The next update should be June 15th. Please post your information from June 12-14 to ensure you end up with accurate information. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| cerberos | Posted on 06/02/05 at 16:18:36 The GWF is active, I just missed the post about posting the latest info. Sorry. I hope to have my next card up this weekend. Sorry CotD ;) |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 06/15/05 at 18:31:27 Longest Reigning Champion(s): IWA Tag Team Champions Jack Evans & Jason Cross - 291 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Masahiro Chono (NWJ Heavyweight Champion, GWF World Champion) 2) Juventud Guerrera (HKW HEAD OF THE CLASS, GWA World Cruiserweight Champion) 3) Jack Evans/Blitzkrieg (IWA Tag Team Champion, GWF TV Champion) 4) Sylvain Grenier (DWF Intercontinental Tag Team Champion, ASWA Tag Team Champion) 5) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: King_Of_Old_School's NWA-UK, AllPowerfulGARTH's WWL, Pulsar's CeWF Timed Out: Vertigo's CP Number of Active Circuits: 17 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 40% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Muhammed Hassan has fallen! After a record setting 325 day title reign, he was dethroned by Owne Hart, who quickly fell to AJ Styles in turn. This opened up the spot at the top, and IWA Tag Team Champions Generation Next of Jack Evans and Jason Cross came surging in with their remarkable 291 day reign! With nobody else even in the same ballpark as them (three wrestlers each have held their belts for just over half of that, but no more), it's pretty obvious that IWA-NE is either going to have to time out or Generation Next will have to lose for a new ironman to step up. Masahiro Chono remains the most dangerous man on the boards, still holding both the GWA World Title and the NWJ Heavyweight Titles with ease. Juventud Guerrera remains very strong on the boards, holding the HKW HEAD OF THE CLASS Title and the GWA Cruiserweight Title. New to number three is IWA Tag Team Champion Jack Evans, who wrestles under a mask as Blitzkrieg in GWF and just won the TV Title there. Sylvain Grenier comes seemingly out of nowhere into the number four position, holding the Intercontinental Tag Team Titles in DWF and wrestling the ASWA Great American Title away from Jeff Farmer. This was perhaps the biggest surprise to me in this update, because Grenier isn't exactly popular on the internet - he's just a mediocre tag team wrestler for the most part. Finally, LIW's own New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson just barely holds onto number five because he's held his belt longer than any other Heavyweight Champion. If one more double champion emerges, he'll be off the Forum Rankings. The percentages in the Forum Rankings remain the same this update, but with the recent successful ECW PPV I wouldn't be surprised to see the representation of the Indies expanding drastically in the coming weeks and months. More title reigns for guys like The Sandman, Rhyno, Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, and of course perennial internet favorites Taz(z) and Raven strike me as fairly likely. I suppose we'll see. The Roll Call is still expanding this time, with three new circuits and only one falling off the wagon... of TNM7 Roll Call of Champions updating... or something. Ya know what? That analogy didn't work very well. Best to ignore it. This brings us to a vibrant 17 active circuits. C'mon people! I know we can get to 20! YOU CAN DOOO EEET! I just added rules to the ROH ruleset, and the TNA ruleset is growing at a dizzying pace, so now is a great time to start a new circuit if you've been thinking about it! The next update should be on June 29th. Make sure you post your updates in time, especially if you're Sean Sindelman or Yun, because you're in danger of losing your nice spots in the Roll Call and having to climb all the way back up from the bottom! Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 06/30/05 at 02:30:00 Longest Reigning Champion(s): IWA Tag Team Champions Jack Evans & Jason Cross - 313 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Rhyno (GWA World Champion, WWL Intercontinental Champion, CeWF Heavyweight Champion) 2) Samoa Joe (HKW HEAD OF THE CLASS, GWE Global World Champion) 3) Christopher Daniels (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, PPW X DIVISION Champion, GCW Television Champion) 4) Low Ki (IWA Heavyweight Champion, GCW World Tag Team Champion) 5) Jerry Lynn (NAWA International Champion, CeWF TV Champion) 6) AJ Styles (GWF World Heavyweight Champion, PPW TAG Champion) 7) Jack Evans/Blitzkrieg (IWA Tag Team Champion, GWF TV Champion) 8) Elix Skipper (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, GCW World Tag Team Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Shaun Sindelman's PPW, Snabbit888's GCW Timed Out: Yun's PWM removed by his request Number of Active Circuits: 18 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 50% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 50% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Having regained the position as the longest ranking champions on the boards in the last update, IWA-NE's Generation Next of Jason Cross & Jack Evans are rapidly closing in on the record for longest title reign of any champions on the boards. Muhammed Hassan currently holds the record with his impressive 325 day reign, but with 313 days themselves, Cross and Evans are literally within a couple weeks of overtaking him. If they can accomplish that, just another month will give them an extremely impressive 1 year long title reign! With only a few people having even half of the time they've had with their titles, the situation will almost certainly only change when they drop the titles. The biggest news in the Forum Rankings is that for the first time since I took this over, we have over 5 wrestlers in the list and not a single one that isn't at least a double champion! Not only that, but Masahiro Chono has been dethroned from his position at the top of the Forum Rankings and replaced by Rhyno. Are we seeing the aftereffects of the recent ECW nostalgia shows in this, perhaps? Or is it just coincidence that Rhyno is way out in front? Juventud Guerrera, Sylvain Grenier, and Arn Anderson all also fall off the list, setting up an interesting new list which bears little in common with the last one. Samoa Joe debuts strongly, taking the number 2 spot. Between his dominance in Ring of Honor and his recent TNA debut and monster push as the "Samoan Submission Machine," Joe seems to be becoming THE pick on the boards for people seeking a monster babyface. Christopher Daniels returns to the Forum Rankings, proving that he is quite possibly the workhorse of the board, holding undercard titles in three different promotions. He's a man to watch considering his recent return to ROH. With a reputation as one of the biggest badasses on the indy scene and as a rising star in Japan, Low Ki bursts onto the scene at number four. Jerry Lynn, another noted ECW alumn with limited success in other promotions, arrives with #5. TNA's biggest asset AJ Styles is virtually neck in neck with him, but due to slightly shorter title reigns he clocks in at number 6. Jack Evans (along with his masked persona, Blitzkrieg) manages to stay on the list, but with no primary titles in hand he falls all the way to 7. And Elix Skipper rounds things out at a solid 8. Interestingly, all three former members of TNA's old Triple X stable are currently on the forum rankings. And that brings me to the matter of representation. This time, things are basically split evenly between wrestlers in TNA and wrestlers on the indy scene - a marked contrast to the situation in the last update, which saw much more variety. This is a trend which further suggests that internet fans, at least, are growing steadily more disenchanted with the product that WWE has provided them. The fact that things are 50% TNA, 25% ROH and 25% ECW nostalgia may mean something more... but it's hard to say. Certainly TNA's situation is SLOWLY starting to look less tenuous now that a SpikeTV deal has been confirmed, and while the timeslot is still poor it beats the deal that just ended. While it will likely take several more years of losses to finally become a truly viable promotion, a lot of people seem very hopeful. We've reached 18 circuits on the Roll Call now. Just two more additions and we can reach the goal of 20 wrestlers. Considering HKW will be closing and NWJ and GWF are both in danger of dropping if they don't update for the next posting, it seems possible that things will drop in the near future. But with the boards more active than they've been in ages, I have high hopes that we can get to our goal eventually. Keep up the good work everyone! The next update should be on July 13. Try to post your information here between July 10-12 to be sure that I have the most up to date information possible, and I'll see you all then. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 06/30/05 at 02:31:17 Yes. The actual Roll Call on the first page had already been updated, but I went out to dinner in the middle of putting tha analysis together. It is now complete as you can see. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 06/30/05 at 02:38:16 Sweet... 3 GCW representatives, and all former Triple X members. Go me. And go America. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 07/13/05 at 18:22:56 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson - 186 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Rhyno (GWA World Champion, WWL Intercontinental Champion, CeWF Heavyweight Champion) 2) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, GWA North American Champion) 3) Christopher Daniels (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, PPW X DIVISION Champion, GCW Television Champion) 4) Teddy Hart (IWA Heavyweight Champion, NAWA Cruiserweight Champion) 5) Jerry Lynn (NAWA International Champion, CeWF TV Champion) 6) Edge (NWA-WC Pacific Coast Champion, GWA T.V. Champion) 7) Elix Skipper (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, GCW World Tag Team Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Azrael's GWA Timed Out: cerberos' GWF Number of Active Circuits: 18 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 29% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 43% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 29% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% And... Generation Next have finally fallen, ending just shy of the record still held by Muhammed Hassan of 325 days. This leaves quite a vaccuum in the length of title reigns, as nobody had even significantly more than half of the time with titles that they did. From this chaos emerges once again the LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion. Arn Anderson has been a fighting champion, and for him to still hold his title at this point speaks volumes about his skill and determination. He can't rest on his laurels, however, as the closest competition for this top spot is only 14 days behind him! It is thus quite possible that there will be another Longest Reigning Champion in the next update even if Anderson does not lose his title. The Forum Rankings have fallen off slightly, with only 7 this time. Still, that beats the hell out of what we had even a month ago. Rhyno, of course, continues to rule the Forum Rankings, a situation that isn't unusual for the GWA World Champion. What is surprising is the fact that Kurt Angle seems to be having a go at reclaiming his traditional spot atop the rankings, and has exploded onto the rankings at the #2 spot by holding 2 World Titles. Can he make it back to the top? We shall see. Rounding out the Top Three is Christopher Daniels, a man who has the advantage of appealing both to indy fans and TNA fans because of his fantastic work in both promotions. With three secondary belts to his name, Daniels is one of the most popular midcard workhorses on the Roll Call. Another man who seems to have emerged from nowhere to hold a high spot in the rankings is Teddy Hart. Known both for his various acts of asshattery and his high-flying prowess, Hart is quite a controversial figure. Jerry Lynn is more or less his polar opposite, and fills the same sort of popular midcard workhorse spot as Christopher Daniels in many circuits here on the TNM boards. The Matt Hardy situation may be benefiting Edge, as the controversy has people talking not only about Matt, but him as well. Any publicity is good publicity, as they say, and this publicity helps him to capture the #6 spot. Finally, in #7 is Elix Skipper. I get the feeling that people on the boards really liked the Triple X team, huh? Representation has changed a bit this time. TNA still holds the most, with Daniels, Lynn & Skipper together making up just under 50% of the Forum Rankings. In what is likely a surprise to nobody, TNA's representation is comprised solely of X-Division talent. The rest are split evenly at two apiece (and roughly 29% each) between the indies (Rhyno & Teddy Hart) and WWE (Kurt Angle & Edge). Once again, there is no love for Oldschool wrestlers, foreigners, or fantasy wrestlers. The Roll Call is holding steady at 18 member circuits, but I gather that there will probably be at least one or two cuts next time. Unless Shaun changes his mind, it looks like HKW has been put out to pasture. Likewise rey619's GWL. Both of these are almost definite to drop off the list next time. Add to that the inactivity in NWA-WC and NWA-UK and we could drop all the way down to 14 circuits next time if no new circuits are started in the next two weeks. Here's hoping that doesn't happen. The next update will be on July 27 unless it isn't. Please post your updated information between the 24th and the 26th to ensure you get on the Roll Call. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 07/27/05 at 19:43:18 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson, DWF Intercontinental Champion Brad Armstrong, DWF Television Champion Steve Corino - All 193 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Rhyno (GWA World Champion, WWL Intercontinental Champion, CeWF Heavyweight Champion) 2) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, GWA North American Champion) 3) Harry Harris (NAWA World Champion, NAWA International Champion) 4) Christopher Daniels (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, PPW X DIVISION Champion, GCW Television Champion) 5) Teddy Hart (IWA Heavyweight Champion, NAWA Cruiserweight Champion) 6) Paul London (GWE Global World Champion, GCW Cruiserweight Champion) 7) Jay Lethal (PPW WORLD Champion, PPW TAG Champion) 8) Elix Skipper (GWE Global Tag Team Champion, GCW World Tag Team Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: jesse_ewiak's SPW Timed Out: Shaun Sindelman's HKW, Justin's NWA-WC, rey619's GWL Number of Active Circuits: 16 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 25% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 37.5% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 25% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 12.5% Arn Anderson is joined as the longest reigning champion for this roll call by two other champions from DWF. First of all is "The Rock" Brad Armstrong, a man with one of the more amusing gimmicks on the boards. Somehow, despite being a blatant knockoff, he has managed to hold onto DWF's second highest belt for quite some time while getting the crowd solidly behind him. Steve Corino is a somewhat more serious competitor that has also reached the pinnacle this time - and from my understanding, nobody has ever kicked out of his Oldschool Expulsion finisher in DWF. Very impressive. Since LIW cards seem to be coming less frequently as of late, Arn Anderson is barely holding onto his spot by his fingernails at this point. Once again, the Forum Rankings are healthy, with 8 wrestlers appearing this week. This is doubly impressive since the number of circuits on the roll call is contracting slightly. Of course, Rhyno remains a force to be reckoned with with his three title belts, two of which are their promotion's primary heavyweight belt. Kurt Angle's resurgent dominance continues, allowing him to stubbornly cling on to number two. Christopher Daniels drops a spot, however, making way for Harry Harris. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that a fantasy wrestler has held two different titles. Daniels drops to fourth, but is very secure in his spot as THE midcard workhorse of the TNM7 boards. Teddy Hart's inexplicable popularity continues, though I maintain that nobody would care about him if it weren't for his fake last name. He's good and all, but no better than any other generic indy high flier. Jerry Lynn drops off the list this time, but Paul London returns. A lot of people seem to think very highly of London, and whether they use him as a star of the future like Ryan or a main eventer of today like Matt, they see greatness in him. Rounding out the final two are Jay Lethal, who emerges solely based on his strength in PPW, and Elix Skipper, who remains a solid tag team wrestler used by many. With the return of a Fantasy wrestler to the Forum Rankings, TNA WWE and the indies all lose a bit of representation. Rhyno's TNA debut allows them to stay in the lead as far as representation is concerned, even with Jerry Lynn dropping off the list. With TNA's Spike TV deal confirmed for this fall, a lot of people seem optimistic about their future in the business, and perhaps this is reflected in their heavy representation. While they still aren't out of the woods yet, the future is looking brighter for them than it has in some time. As noted, we have fallen to 16 circuits this time. It could have been far worse, however, and with jesse_ewiak's ACW set to appear on the roll call as soon as they have a champion, things look strong enough from where I'm standing. I'd still like to see 20 circuits on the Roll Call, but it'll probably be at least a few more before that's possible. Anyway. As always, thanks for reading. The next update should be on August 10, so please post your information between the 7th and the 9th to ensure you end up on the list with as much accuracy as possible. Thanks.

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 08/13/05 at 21:27:42 Longest Reigning Champion(s): CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion Matt Stryker - 202 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, GWA North American Champion) 2) Rhyno (WWL Intercontinental Champion, CeWF Heavyweight Champion) 3) Paul London (GWE Global World Champion, GCW Cruiserweight Champion) 4) Jay Lethal (PPW WORLD Champion, PPW TAG Champion) 5) Edge (GWA T.V. Champion, NWA-WC Pacific Coast Champion) 6) Christopher Daniels (PPW X DIVISION Champion, GCW Television Champion) 7) Charlie Haas (GWE Tag Team Champion, GCW Tag Team Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Rick Garrard's WatA, MattHarms' WCW, Justin's NWA-WC, Vertigo's CP Timed Out: rey619's IWA-NE, the GWA Umbrella Fed Number of Active Circuits: 18 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 43% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 28% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 28% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Due to the recent slow updated of both LIW and DWF, all three of last Roll Call's Longest Reigning Champions have been quite suddenly left in the dust of the returning CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion Matt Stryker. Stryker has been dominant in CP ever since the promotion opened its doors - something not especially surprising when you consider that according to the promotion's backstory he runs the place! With his unique brand of mat-based technical wrestling, Stryker has held his title for a very impressive 202 days! The Forum Rankings contract slightly this week, now containing only 7 wrestlers. Still, considering that we didn't have a single double champion just a few months back, that ain't half bad! The biggest news on this front is that Kurt Angle has finally recaptured his customary spot at the top of the rankings! Angle is performing very well in both GCW and GWA, with no end to his title reign in sight in either promotion. Rhyno, on the other hand, falters slightly and falls to second as the GWA Umbrella Fed times out and drops off the rankings. Still, he's talented and popular enough that a spot on the rankings looks all but guaranteed for the near future. With the fall of Harry Harris and Teddy Hart, and with Christopher Daniels losing one of his titles, the popular young cruiserweight star Paul London rises to number three. The sky is the limit for London, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him continue to rise in the months and years to come. Jay Lethal rises as well, but with PPW's future looking dim at best, he looks set to drop out of the Forum Rankings on the next update. Edge explodes back onto the Forum Rankings after taking a couple weeks off due to the brief departure of NWA-WC. Edge fills a strong midcard position in quite a few promotions, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see him continue to rise in the upcoming months. The final two spots are taken by perennial workhorse Christopher Daniels, who now holds only two belts instead of the three he owned at the last update. Considering his titles seem to all be secondary or terriary, it will take quite a few more wins to allow him to rise back up through the ranks. Finally, lucky number seven is taken by Charlie Haas, who fills the position that Elix Skipper most recently had of "tag team wrestler that everyone likes to use." Haas is a fantastic technician, and it should be interesting to see whether his recent release from WWE ends up helping him or hindering him here on the boards. For the first time since I started keeping track, WWE is in control of the largest portion of the rankings! Considering their size and name-value compared to TNA, the indies, and Japan, this is actually something which comes as quite a surprise... well, at least until you realize how stale WWE television was until recently. From what I've observed, it looks like they may be slowly turning things around, and perhaps the Forum Rankings reflect that to some extent. Hard to say. Regardless, TNA and the indies split the remainder. We are back up to 18 circuits on the Roll Call, and with the sudden influx of new circuits it feels like 20 should be a very doable goal. With only ASWA and PPW in danger of dropping off the Roll Call in the next update, and at least that many new circuits that could qualify for the roll call, things are looking better than ever! The next update should be on August 24th, but it's possible that I may be away for that date. If I am, it will presumably be early in September. Regardless, please post your circuit's champions between the 21st and 23rd to ensure that you end up on the roll call as accurately as possible. Thanks for reading. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 08/25/05 at 03:58:47 Longest Reigning Champion(s): CP Tri-State Heavyweight Champion Matt Stryker - 215 days TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Kurt Angle (GCW World Heavyweight Champion, GWA North American Champion) 2) Rhyno (WWL Intercontinental Champion, CeWF Heavyweight Champion) 3) Ron Waterman (NAWA World Champion, NAWA Television Champion) 4) Edge (GWA T.V. Champion, NWA-WC Pacific Coast Champion) 5) Devon Storm (WatA Stu Hart's Dungeon Champion, CP Tag Team Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Carlzilla's NJPW and RRP Timed Out: americamamushi's ASWA, Shaun Sindelman's PPW Number of Active Circuits: 18 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 40% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 40% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% The competition for the longest reigning champion on the TNM boards is really heating up, and while CP's Matt Stryker is still the longest reigning man with 215 days, he is closely followed by LIW's Arn Anderson with 213 days and NJPW's Tiger Mask IV with 212 days. Any of these long reigning champions could be at the top at the next update... provided they can hang onto their titles for just a little longer. Well. Any of them except Arn Anderson. But that's because I'm going away and will be without internet access. While the absolute number of circuits remained unchanged this week, it turned out to be a very painful transition for the Forum Rankings, with no less than 4 of last time's top 7 wrestlers consequently falling from the list. In their place come two new wrestlers, leaving the Rankings with a nice, even 5. Please note that this is the lowest that I'll allow - if there are less than 5 double champions, I fill up to 5 by going through Heavyweight Champions and putting them in order of title reign length. Anyway, Kurt Angle stands strong in his number one spot, and while from the looks of things he won't be losing the title any time soon in GCW, NWA-WC seems like it may be kaput. So unless Angle suddenly wins another title, he stands to fall from the rankings on the next update - a pity, since he only just reoccupied his traditional #1 spot a few times ago. Rhyno is in a similar predicament in spot number two. While his hold on the WWL Intercontinental Title looks strong, CeWF looks likely to go the way of the dodo with the collapse of the GWA Umbrella Fed. From the void, the obscure former OVW wrestler Ron Waterman emerges, taking advantage of the chaos following Harry Harris' injury within NAWA to capture the World Title to add to the Television Title he already holds there. Can Waterman's strength within a single circuit translate into a longterm spot in the Forum Rankings? And could he actually capture Number One at the next update? Edge rises to number 4 due to Paul London and Jay Lethal clearing out, and while he may not be a top player in any circuit at the moment, he looks to be a very solid supporting player in several. More secondary titles could quite possibly be in his future. Finally, Devon Storm emerges from his post-WCW obscurity to capture Number Five. Storm plays a prominent undercard role on several circuits - much like Edge, and therefore it seems that it was only a matter of time until he showed up. The shakeup in the forum rankings has definately effected representation here as well. WWE remains strong with 2 of the 5 most used title holders in the Rankings, but the indies have come back strong with the emergence of Devon Storm and Ron Waterman. With WWE's Kurt Angle poised to fall from the rankings, their brief period of dominence may end as quickly as it began. TNA rounds out the representation with the final 20%. Lose two, gain two. On the surface, this isn't a bad deal because we remain at 18 circuits, but because both of these new circuits are Japanese and only a few Japanese workers are used in other cirucits, in terms of the forum rankings this is a significant loss. And with 5 circuits in place to fall from the Roll Call if they aren't updated by the next one (NWJ, DWF, CeWF, SPW & NWA-WC), the end of the summer looks to be ushering in a rebuilding period. I'm still confident that we can reach 20 circuits here on the boards... but it might take a while. The next update should be September 7th, and happily it looks like my vacation will not interfere with my ability to update this since I'll be coming back the 6th. So please post your updated information between 9/4 and 9/6. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/25/05 at 04:32:57 wow... Who'da thunk that Devon Storm would have been the second wrestler that I've put on the roll call in one of my circuits? |
| Carlzilla | Posted on 08/25/05 at 06:57:20 If you look at this updates motivational picture, in the 3rd row back (or there abouts) is a guy flipping off who ever it is that is in the ring (I think it's Gene Snitsky but since WWE is... well let's just say it's not my thing...I'm not sure.) I don't know why I had to point that out, but it's too late now. |
| Unright | Posted on 08/29/05 at 04:21:34 Just asking because I've never participated in this before. Does your circuit have to be posted somewhere to be eligible for this? Is there a max number of circuit per poster? |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/29/05 at 04:39:35 I don't think there's an "official" rule on it, but it's pretty much implied that this is for circuits that get posted, because how would Critic know if the circuit has become idle if it was never posted to begin with? So yeah, for circuits posted only. I don't think there's a limit either, but I've seen people doing no more than 3. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 09/08/05 at 05:18:24 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson (214 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Chris Jericho (WWL World Heavyweight Champion, GCW World Heavyweight Champion) 2) Ron Waterman (NAWA World Champion, NAWA Television Champion) 3) Teddy Hart (NAWA Cruiserweight Champion, GWE Golbal X-Division Champion) 4) Ken Shamrock (GWA Tag Team Champion, CP Tag Team Champion) 5) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: None Timed Out: Carlzilla's NWJ, 91's DWF, Pulsar's CeWF, jesse_ewiak's SPW, Justin's NWA-WC Number of Active Circuits: 13 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 60% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% With the abrupt end of Matt Stryker's title reign at the huge flabby paws of Mizark Hizenry, the competition for longest reigning champion has gotten even hotter. Emerging now as the longest reigning champion despite a vacation and only one day passing in the promotion is LIW's own Arn Anderson, who once again claims LIW's spot atop the forum. Tremble before him, peons! TREMBLE! ... Ahem. Anyway. For the first time in months, the Forum Rankings only contain 4 double champions, with the last spot being taken by the longest reigning Heavyweight Champ... who just coincidentally is my own. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First of all, Chris Jericho emerged from the aether, kicked Kirk Angel in the family jewels and stole his spot. I'm still in shock that Kurt is gone from the Forum Rankings. After all, he traditionally rules them! Jericho holding the top spot is... just not right! Due to the lack of competition, Ron Waterman standing aside NAWA like a proverbial collosus is enough to earn him the number 2 spot in the Forum Rankings. Teddy Hart takes a break from living off his uncle's name and making a total ass of himself in public to return to the rankings at number 3. Ken Shamrock, who was once one of THE top wrestlers to use as a main eventer in TNM circuits takes 4th on the strength of a couple of tag team title reigns. How the mighty have fallen. Guess getting half killed by Tito Ortiz a while back will do that to a guy's reputation. And finally Arn Anderson takes 5th since there aren't enough champions to fill a fifth slot normally. Representation is getting outright strange. WWE falls back to 20% this time (I'm still considering Chris Jericho WWE talent for the time being), and TNA drops off the charts all together. In their place are a bunch of indy workers (60% in total) and an old fart (20%). I'd blame this on WWE's declining fortunes, except according to WWE's financial report they're actually doing better than they were last year. And it's not the strength of alternatives either, because Shamrock and Waterman are not exactly big on the indy scene anymore, and Teddy Hart doesn't appear in the larger indies because he's apparently too much of a douche to be worth dealing with. So... I blame serendipity. Stupid sea monster... >:( >:( >:( The biggest news in this update is the fact that the Roll Call has dropped all the way from 18 circuits to 13. That's more than a quarter of the circuits here all falling at once. Not a good thing. No. Not at all. The good news is that nobody else is going to drop next time, and there's at least one circuit which will be joining as soon as they get themselves a champion. So. To address some questions: Circuits appearing in the Roll Call should be posted somewhere online (preferably on the boards here), and there is no limit to how many a person can have posted here. Next update should come on September 21st. So. Like. Look for it then. And post your information a couple days before hand so I can be sure to get things as accurate and up to date as possible.

| Rick Garrard | Posted on 09/08/05 at 05:39:52 Crazily enough, Chris Jericho could very well be the WatA Heavyweight Champion by the time of the next roll call as well, since a feud between Jericho and Champion Bret Hart has just escalated on the last card prior to this roll call. |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 09/21/05 at 21:11:21 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson (233 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Chris Jericho (WWL World Heavyweight Champion, GCW World Heavyweight Champion) 2) Teddy Hart (NAWA Cruiserweight Champion, GWE Golbal X-Division Champion) 3) Ken Shamrock (GWA Tag Team Champion, CP Tag Team Champion) 4) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 5) Jason Prentice (NWA-UK Hammerlock Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: None Timed Out: None Number of Active Circuits: 13 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 40% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Well, let's see here. As has become customary, Arn Anderson remains the longest reigning champion here on the TNM boards with an impressive 233 day title reign. Arn Anderson is approaching the record for longest title reign in his home promotion of LIW, but still has a long long way to go - nearly 100 days - before he catches up with the board's record holder, Muhammed Hassan. Once again, the closest person to catching Anderson is NJPW's Tiger Mask IV, but as NJPW doesn't seem to be very active and since it is in fact in danger of timing out at the next update, it doesn't look like Anderson will be falling from his spot by being caught in the near future. The forum rankings continue to get less and less interesting due to the fact that only about half of the circuits on the roll call this time updated. Additionally, Ron Waterman drops off the list by vacating the NAWA Television Title. This brings us back to the bad old days of March. I have thus come to the conclusion that if the number of circuits on the Roll Call drops below 10, I will stop doing detailed analysis until it gets above that point again because, frankly, trying to talk at length about 5 or 6 circuits would be pretty dull. Anyway, with Waterman dropping off the list, a spot opens up at the bottom, and that spot is filled by NWA-UK's Jason Prentice. For those who don't recall how I do the rankings, I base it on titles held and the value of the titles, then on reign length. Thus, if there are less than five double+ champions, I fill the remainder with people's Heavyweight Champions ordered by reign length. After Arn Anderson, Jason Prentice is the longest reigning Heavyweight Champion, with a reign of 98 days. Since the Forum Rankings didn't change much, neither did representation. The sole difference is that Jason Prentice is a fantasy wrestler rather than an obscure real wrestler. Thus the indies now only control 40% of the representation while fantasy wrestlers are 20%. From the looks of things, the Roll Call is set to continue its sudden and unexpected freefall. Five more circuits (GWA, WCW, CP, RRP and NJPW) are all primed to fall off the list. WCW is almost a guarantee because MattHarms claims that he'll no longer be updating it. The others may yet be saved. All you need to do is post an update here before the next update! It's easy, it only takes 5 minutes, and it helps keep the community vital and interesting. Perhaps TNMWA should be posted here as well? If someone wants to post their details I'll gladly post them. I know for a fact that there are quite a few new circuits out there as well. So c'mon guys. Consider this a recruiting drive! We want YOU for the Roll Call of Champions! ;D Finally, the next update should come on Wednesday, October 5th. See you then, people! Thanks for reading. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 09/22/05 at 01:27:29Perhaps TNMWA should be posted here as well?Of course, this would require the TNMWA to actually run new cards. ;) |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 09/22/05 at 01:41:56 I wouldn't know. I haven't been following it this time around. Speaking of which, send me that Jobber #1 Export. I wanna have a look at it to improve my min-maxing abilities. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 10/08/05 at 21:10:13 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson (249 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) Teddy Hart (NAWA Cruiserweight Champion, GWE Golbal X-Division Champion, IWA-NE Heavyweight Champion) 2) Chris Jericho (WWL World Heavyweight Champion, GCW World Heavyweight Champion) 3) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) 4) Jason Prentice (NWA-UK Hammerlock Heavyweight Champion) 5) Manny Fernandez (CW Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Rey619's TNA and IWA-NE Timed Out: Azrael's GWA, MattHarms' WCW, Vertigo's CP Number of Active Circuits: 12 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 20% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 20% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 40% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Sorry this is a few days late. Since I've started working fulltime, I think I may move the day that these are posted to Fridays. Additionally, I am CONSIDERING slowing updates to once a month rather than every 2 weeks. I haven't decided to do that for sure yet. But I'm considering it because things are pretty slow here and I don't have the free time I had until recently. Anyway, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, LIW's Arn Anderson still holds onto the coveted spot as the longest reigning champion here on the boards. From the archives of the Roll Call here, it looks like Arn Anderson's title reign has just exceeded that of Alex Wright, making him the longest reigning champion in LIW history. He's still nearly 100 days short of the all-time recordholder, GWF's Muhammed Hassan, however. Within about a month's time of Anderson's reign are NAWA's Teddy Hart and NJPW's Tiger Mask IV - it is therefore possible that Anderson's grip on the top spot could be winding to a close. We shall see. There are currently only 2 multiple title holders in the Forum Rankings, with Ken Shamrock dropping completely off the radar as both of his promotions vanished since the last update. The last time we've had that few was at the very beginning of June. Of course, what with the school year and all, it's not unexpected that things should slow down a bit. Teddy Hart made news this time by capturing the #1 spot for the first time ever. With the re-emergence of IWA-NE as a player in the forum rankings, Tedd Hart actually holds THREE different titles when almost nobody is presently capable of having two. Chris Jericho holds on to the number 2 spot, but since WWL was not updated this time, he could be on his way out of the Rankings as well. Everyone else on the rankings is there based only on their title reigns, and Arn Anderson's has clearly been the most expansive of the three. Jason Prentice holds on to the NWA-UK Hammerlock Heavyweight Title to move up a spot this time, and finally Manny Fernandez re-emerges into the Forum Rankings for the first time since May on the strength of his long reign in Rick's sporadically updated CW. Again, for the first time since May, Oldschool wrestlers rule the rankings. WWE, the indies, and fantasy wrestlers split the rest. What's especially interesting is the lack of TNA representation given TNA's recent debut on Spike TV. Perhaps this greater exposure will increase the popularity of their wrestlers? We shall see, I suppose. WWE remains steady with their customary 20% (and I am considering Jericho to still be a WWE name unless he wrestles somewhere else, before anyone asks), and their move back to USA seems unlikely to effect anything significant in the near future. And the indies... are the indies. Though ROH is just coming off of what has to be a record-breaking summer for them and expanding into new territories all the time, I don't THINK that their overall appeal is spreading that fast. And with companies like 3PW going under and IWA-MS having trouble, the indy scene as a whole seems to be fairly static. So. No changes expected there either. The next update should be on Saturday, October 22nd. Please try to post your information around the Oct 19-21 so I can be sure that I have the most up-to-date information possible. Thanks.

| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 10/09/05 at 06:04:52 Just post your circuit's information in this thread sometime before the next update. Here's the format if you hadn't figured it out from the information displayed in the Roll Call. Promotion Name - Date of Last CardDates in American format if possible, please (MM/DD/YY) Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 10/23/05 at 20:44:20 Longest Reigning Champion(s): LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion Arn Anderson (249 days) TNM Forum Rankings: 1) AJ Styles (TNA X-Division Champion, AWC North American Heavyweight Champion) 2) Teddy Hart (NAWA Cruiserweight Champion, IWA-NE Heavyweight Champion) 3) Chris Sabin (LIW New York State Tag Team Champion, GWE Global World Champion) 4) CM Punk (GCW Television Champion, WILD WILDStyle Champion) 5) Arn Anderson (LIW New York State Heavyweight Champion) New Circuits on the Roll Call: Psymin1's AWC, Shaun Sindleman's WILD, LKO's IWA, Murphy42782's AWA, and 91's DWF Timed Out: AllPowerfulGARTH's WWL Number of Active Circuits: 16 Percent of the Forum Rankings in WWE: 0% Percent of the Forum Rankings in TNA: 40% Percent of the Forum Rankings in the indies: 40% Percent of Oldschool Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 20% Percentage of Foreign Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% Percentage of Fantasy Wrestlers in the Forum Rankings: 0% For this update, Arn Anderson still holds onto his spot as the longest reigning champion on the boards here, but since I've been ill and have just started working fulltime recently, his hold on that position is growing increasingly tenuous. Rapidly closing in on him is NAWA's Teddy Hart, who is now only 17 days short of Anderson's spot. If I don't run another card soon, Hart may very well take Anderson's traditional position as the longest reigning champion on the boards here by the next update. NJPW's Tiger Mask IV trails both of them, but is also fairly close, and if NJPW ever gets around to running another card, he may well have a shot at that coveted spot. ;) With the burgeoning of new and returning circuits to the boards here, the Forum Rankings are beginning to show a bit more health, although they're still at less than 5 double champions. The biggest news this update in terms of ranking position is that Teddy Hart has fallen from #1 to #2 after dropping the GWE Global X-Division Title to Jason Cross. This, coupled with the emergence of AJ Styles as a force to be reckoned with, has shaken Hart's position as the most widely used asshat in all of the boards. As mentioned, AJ Styles has rocketed seemingly out of nowhere into the top spot here on the boards, with the relatively new TNA and ACW circuits giving him two very prestigious titles. With WWL's fall from the Roll Call, Chris Jericho has likewise falled out of the rankings. In his place is another Chris - Chris Sabin. Sabin has enjoyed a great deal of success in both LIW and GWE, holding the tag team titles and Global World Title respectively. This is enough to put him into contention with Teddy Hart for 2nd, but due to Hart's longer title reigns, Sabin is edged out in the end. CM Punk emerges to take the #4 spot after taking secondary titles in both GCW and WILD. Punk is a highly respected ROH veteran, and his recent recruitment by WWE and subsequent major storyline in the real life OVW is defiantely turning heads, so I expect that we'll be seeing more popularity for the Punker in the near future. Finally, Arn Anderson rounds out the list at 5 because he's the longest reigning Heavyweight Champion on the boards. As usual. In terms of representation, the big news this time is that TNA has totally eclipsed WWE. WWE now doesn't have a single representative here in the Forum Rankings, while TNA has 2 out of 5. Perhaps this is indicative of TNA's solid fan support despite their poor timeslot, or perhaps this is more because WWE has remained fairly mediocre despite their best efforts at turning their product around. Or maybe people are just pissed off about Good Ol' JR. Who knows. The indies retain their traditional 40% of the rankings as well, with CM Punk and Teddy Hart representing them. Please note that CM Punk will not be considered to be in WWE until he's actually... you know... IN WWE as opposed to their farm league. And Arn Anderson brings a touch of the Oldschool to the Rankings. As usual. The next update should be on November 5th. Please try to post your updates a few days before that to ensure I have the most accurate information about your circuits possible. Thanks. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |

| Anubis | Posted on 01/27/06 at 10:38:47 I got two questions: 1. Is this thread still gonna be updated? (I hope so.) 2. Does my work qualify? (I hope so.) |
| rey619 | Posted on 01/27/06 at 11:51:20 It hasn't been updated since Critic of the Dawn fell of the radar and the number of feds running fell drastically. |
| colmatteus | Posted on 04/19/06 at 16:52:34 Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I wanted to reopen the Roll Call. Circuits seem to be popping up on the boards like crazy and from what I'm seeing, it's some quality stuff. If anyone's interested in this, I'd love to give a go at doing the write-ups for the Call. As long as Eric doesn't mind me trying it out, I think it'd be cool. If Eric wants to just pick it up and run with it instead, he's free to, but I figured he didn't have time anymore seeing as he hasn't been here or doing LIW in quite some time. Anyway, I'm rambling... leave your thoughts here :) |
| rey619 | Posted on 04/19/06 at 16:59:43 I plan on doing WWC for a while, and the roll call was always one of my favorite threads to follow... so yeah... I'm interested. |
| Justin | Posted on 04/20/06 at 00:22:42 3CW should be around for a bit as well... I'd like for this thread to make a comeback |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 04/20/06 at 03:54:47 GCW is still alive and kicking too... just waiting for GLWf to get going. *kicks Chris' dumb computer* |
| colmatteus | Posted on 04/20/06 at 16:23:36 I count 16 active/semi-active/soon-to-be-active circuits on the boards currently. If everyone got involved, that would definetely be enough! Unless anyone objects, I'm gonna try to give this a go at some point in the coming week or two. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime anyone who hasn't already voiced their support for bringing back this thread, please feel free to do so! ;D |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/21/06 at 04:44:42 good luck with this Colmatteus. I am all for someone taking the ball and running with it here. |
| colmatteus | Posted on 04/21/06 at 06:13:40 Whoa... Rick is mad old school super duper ;D. That right there, that's like Undertaker giving the rub to Orlando Jordan stuff. Thanks Rick! I just hope I do better with this pat on the back than OJ did :-X |
| HugeRockStar760 | Posted on 04/22/06 at 04:29:15 I'm not sure if this is where to post the information about champions or if it is sent via private message but here are WWE Smackdown!'s Champions: World Heavyweight Champion: Kurt Angle *Has held the championship since he won the title in a battle royal due to Batista's injury in January. He retained the title at WrestleMania XXII against Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. United States Heavyweight Champion: JBL *Defeated Chris Benoit to win the title on the April 14th edition of Smackdown! Although, he had assistance from Jillian Hall's insurance policy, Mr. Kennedy. World Tag Team Champions: MNM *They are the reigning champions. However, it appears that the Smackdown! tag team division is about to become even more competitive with the arrival of the former WWE Tag Team Champions, Pretty Cool (Carlito and Chris Masters)via the trade that sent The Undertaker to RAW. World Cruiserweight Champion: Gregory Helms *Won the title after moving from RAW and winning a Cruiserweight Invitational. Recently, the title has been inactive due to Gregory Helms' nose injury. |
| Matteus | Posted on 04/23/06 at 04:20:31 Alright Rockstar! Nothin' like taking ambitious initiative to make me wanna... well, take ambitious initiative. I basically remember Eric doing this when he was doing the Roll Call. When posting your circuit information here, all you have to do is follow a simple format. If I screw up, I'll edit it in sooner than later. State your circuit name, current champions and what date each won their title, date of your last card, and whether your circuit is currently booked or unbooked. Basically use your own judgment on this. Ryan put it best when he said that if you're more of the mind that you only choose winners when you have to, you're unbooked. Otherwise, you're a booked circuit, pal. So basically, your info should look something like this: ------- Unlimited Wrestling (Booked) UW World champion: Jeff Jarrett (won 4/10/06) UW North American champion: Shelton Benjamin (won 4/17/06) UW World Tag Team champions: Limited Edition (won 4/10/06) Last card: 4/17/06 -------- Short and sweet, yes? While the write-up you gave me was nice Rockstar, it's fine if you just do it like this or something like this, just the basic info. I'll be trying to do a Top 5 for Booked circuits, Top 5 for Unbooked circuits, and Top 5 (or 7) for Overall, and longest reigning champion. Well see how it pans out... Ryan, Rick, rey, anybody... do y'all know if I could get mod status for this thread or forum so I can take people's info out so the thread doesn't get insaaanely long? Thanks! Looking forward to this guys! Expect the first update to be somewhere around May 4th... unless people think thats too soon. And we'll just keep it updated monthly. Thoughts/suggestions/comments are totally appreciated. --Matt |

| Psymin1 | Posted on 04/23/06 at 19:05:48 The only problem I have is that I never used dates for my AWC circuit, only card week numbers. Also, About halfway through my circuit, I changed to mostly booked as opposed to mostly unbooked...so, I'm not sure where my circuit would fall. I would probably say booked because I ran more cards booked than unbooked, so I'kll go with that, unless there are any objections. Oh, and these are the only two titles I have running at this point in the game. American Wrestling Coalition (Booked) -------------------------------------------------- AWC North American Heavyweight Champion: Raven (won on AWC Retribution- Week 8) AWC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions: J.O.B. Squad [Al Snow/Rhino] (won on AWC Week 2) Last Card: AWC Retribution- Week 8 |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 04/23/06 at 19:11:51 I could possibly unsticky this one so a new one could be started fresh and stickied, since this one is highly outdated anyway. Then whenever it's time to update this, we could make our posts in a separate thread. Only Oliver can give Admin status, and he's not around here enough to make waiting for him to do it a quality endeavor. |
| Justin | Posted on 04/23/06 at 20:03:34 Good idea Ryan..... a fresh start is what is truly needed on this thread |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/24/06 at 01:44:49I just hope I do better with this pat on the back than OJ didJust remember, a pat on the back is about 12 inches away from a kick in the seat of the pants. :) (If only Barry Horowitz would have remembered that) |
