Royal Rumble Stats. - 09.15.2009
The longest and shortest winning efforts in the Rumble belong to Rey Mysterio (2006, 62:12) and John Cena (2008, 08:27).
Only four of the winners have lasted the entire Royal Rumble: Shawn Michaels (1995), Vince McMahon (1999), Chris Benoit (2004), and Rey Mysterio (2006). Michaels and Benoit won from the #1 entry, while McMahon and Mysterio started at #2 (#1 and #2 start the match at the same time). Only Benoit and Mysterio lasted longer than an hour in their winning efforts.
The only men to win back-to-back Royal Rumble matches are Hulk Hogan (1990 and 1991), Shawn Michaels (1995 and 1996), and Steve Austin (1997 and 1998). Austin is the only wrestler to win three Rumbles (1997, 1998, and 2001).
The winner with the most eliminations in a single Rumble is Steve Austin (10 in 1997), while the winner with the fewest eliminations is Vince McMahon (who eliminated only Steve Austin in 1999 to win the Rumble).
The most successful entry numbers are #27 (four winners) and #24 (three winners).
The total amount of time that the Royal Rumble winners have spent in the ring is 10 hours, 15 minutes, and 14 seconds.
The average amount of time that a Rumble winner has spent in the ring is approximately 27 minutes.
Counting only those eliminated by the winners in the year they won the Rumble, the total amount of competitors that the Rumble winners have eliminated is 116. The average amount of eliminations by a Rumble winner is approximately 5.
The wrestlers who won the Rumble in their debut appearances in the Rumble are Jim Duggan (1988), Big John Studd (1989), Ric Flair (1992), Yokozuna (1993), Lex Luger (1994), Vince McMahon (1999), Brock Lesnar (2003), and Chris Benoit (2004).
Of the nineteen men to win the Royal Rumble, only three of them (Jim Duggan, Lex Luger, and Big John Studd) have never held a world title in WWE. Jim Duggan is the only Rumble winner to have never held any title in WWE. |

Why the ECW title hasn't gotten screwed on PPV. - 09.01.2009
By Sage Freehaven
I know a lot of people think the ECW Championship gets screwed over on pay-per-view - especially after the ten-second match it got at SummerSlam this past Sunday - but I crunched the numbers to show that it really hasn't gotten such a raw deal.
From Vengeance 2006 (the first pay-per-view after the ECW Championship was revived) up to Summerslam 2009, seven other championships have appeared regularly on pay-per-view: the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship, the WWE Women's Championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship. (Since the two tag titles have separate title histories even after the unification match at WrestleMania 25, the three Unified Tag Team Championship matches on PPV are counted towards both tag titles.)
Here's the numbers:
The WWE Championship has been contested a total of 42 times, with an average match length of approximately 17 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 35:55 (at No Way Out 2009), and the shortest match for this title lasted 6:33 (at No Mercy 2007).
The World Heavyweight Championship has been contested a total of 42 times, with an average match length of approximately 16 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 29:46 (at No Way Out 2009), and the shortest match for the title lasted 1:03 (at Extreme Rules 2009).
The ECW Championship has been contested a total of 32 times, with an average match length of approximately 9 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 24:42 (at December to Dismember 2006), and the shortest match for this title lasted 9 seconds (at WrestleMania 24).
The Intercontinental Championship has been contested a total of 16 times, with an average match length of approximately 10 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 17:36 (at Unforgiven 2006), and the shortest match for this title lasted 21 seconds (at WrestleMania 25).
The United States Championship has been contested a total of 16 times, with an average match length of approximately 10 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 13:49 (at The Great American Bash 2006), and the shortest match for this title lasted 5:24 (at Cyber Sunday 2008).
The WWE Women's Championship has been contested a total of 18 times, with an average match length of approximately 7 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 11:34 (at Unforgiven 2006), and the shortest match for this title lasted 3:13 (at WrestleMania 23).
The WWE Tag Team Championship has been contested a total of 13 times, with an average match length of approximately 14 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 20:13 (at Armageddon 2006), and the shortest match for this title lasted 6:29 (at Vengeance 2007).
The World Tag Team Championship has been contested a total of 14 times, with an average match length of approximately 10 minutes; the longest match for this title lasted 17:17 (at One Night Stand 2007), and the shortest match for this title lasted 1:30 (at Night of Champions 2008). |

AJ Styles and his TNA PPV Record - 08.25.2009
As put together by Sage Freehaven.
First, I'll offer up a bit of trivia: from the promotion's first monthly pay-per-view (Victory Road in November 2004) until Genesis in January 2009, AJ Styles had a match on every monthly pay-per-view in TNA history (in the case of Sacrifice 2008, he had two matches); this comes out to 52 matches. His streak came to an end at Against All Odds, where he did not have a match, but he did appear on the show. After Against All Odds, AJ would have a match on the next five pay-per-views, up until Hard Justice, where he not only did not have a match, but he did not appear at all, marking the first time in TNA's history that AJ Styles neither wrestled nor appeared on a monthly pay-per-view event. (This raises the number of matches AJ's competed in to 57.)
This is key, because I've got two sets of records: one is for AJ's unheard-of pay-per-view streak, and one is for the entirety of AJ's pay-per-view career up through Victory Road 2009. I'll share the records for the duration of AJ's pay-per-view streak first, then the full records.
A couple more things before I continue: during my record keeping, I counted any match that was one of the last two matches on a pay-per-view as a "main event" match; I also made it a point to count any match that wasn't a standard one-on-one match or a standard tag-team match as a gimmick match (any match with a special referee wasn't counted as a gimmick match).
-----
~ The Streak ~
For the duration of AJ's streak, he wrestled 52 matches on 51 PPVs (as mentioned above, he wrestled twice on Sacrifice 2008, the only time he ever wrestled twice on a single PPV).
Overall Win-Loss Record: 26 / 25 / 1 (50%)
Gimmick Match Win-Loss Record: 12 / 16 / 1 (41%)
Title Match Win-Loss Record: 14 / 11 / 0 (56%)
World Title Match Win-Loss Record: 01 / 04 / 0 (20%)
Total time of PPV matches: 13:00:27 (approximation)
Main event matches: 30 out of 52 (58%)
The men AJ faced the most during this streak were Samoa Joe (11 times), Christopher Daniels (7 times), Sting, and Rhino (both 6 times).
-----
~ All PPVs ~
From Victory Road 2004 (November 2004) to Victory Road 2009 (July 2009), AJ wrestled in 57 matches on 56 PPVs.
Overall Win-Loss Record: 29 / 27 / 1 (51%)
Gimmick Match Win-Loss Record: 14 / 17 / 1 (44%)
Title Match Win-Loss Record: 16 / 13 / 0 (55%)
Legends Title Match Win-Loss Record: 02 / 01 / 0 (67%)
World Title Match Win-Loss Record: 01 / 05 / 0 (17%)
Legends Title Defense Win-Loss Record: 01 / 01 / 0 (50%)
Total time of PPV matches: 14:20:42 (approximation)
Main event matches: 33 out of 57 (58%)
The men AJ have faced the most during his PPV career are Samoa Joe (12 times), Christopher Daniels (7 times), Sting, Rhino, and Kurt Angle (all 6 times).
-----
~ Both ~
The following records apply to both AJ's "streak" and his entire PPV career.
Tag Team Title Match Win-Loss Record: 08 / 02 / 0 (80%)
X-Division Title Match Win-Loss Record: 05 / 05 / 0 (50%)
Tag Team Title Defense Win-Loss Record: 05 / 01 / 0 (84%)
X-Division Title Defense Win-Loss Record: 03 / 02 / 0 (60%)
World Title Defense Win-Loss Record: 00 / 01 / 0 (0%)
Shortest match: Sacrifice 2008 - AJ Styles and "Super Eric" vs. BG James and Awesome Kong (w/ Raisha Saeed) - Tag Team Match (Deuces Wild Tournament Quarterfinal) - 05:29
Shortest gimmick match: Destination X 2007 - Rhino vs. AJ Styles - Elevation X Match - 09:05
Shortest title match: Against All Odds 2008 - AJ Styles and Tomko (c) vs. BG James and Bob Armstrong - TNA World Tag Team Championship Match - 07:45
AJ's longest PPV match is also his longest gimmick match and his longest title match: the Iron Man Match against Christopher Daniels at Against All Odds 2005 for the X-Division Championship; due to the match ending at the 30 minute mark in a draw, the match went into Sudden Death overtime, which extended the match's length to 31:37. (AJ was the reigning champion going into the match and successfully defended his title.)
AJ has competed in three King of the Mountain matches, four Ultimate X matches, and four Lethal Lockdown matches during his PPV career. He has lost every King of the Mountain match he competed in, has won two Ultimate X matches, and has been on the winning side of the Lethal Lockdown match twice. |

Sorry guys. Not that anyone reads this stuff here... |

And we're rolling... - 02.04.2006
So I had my first Pro Wrestling Match.
I was "Massive" Matt Sforcina, and given that I outweight everyone else (and a couple of the tag teams) in the company, that fit. I was fighting Super Crimson Mask, the resedent monster/nutter of the company.
And the match went well, no-one was injured, and there weren't any major screw ups. Some minor ones, but nothing major. And it went well. It was a hot crowd of about 400, and they enjoyed it a fair bit. I even got a "Matty" chant, which is the sort of thing you wish for.
But in the end, the damm Mask guy got his feet up on my charge, and then hit a second rope clothesline, and alas, I lost. But come on, the monster used a drop toe hold earlier on. A DROP TOE HOLD. That just threw me off the page.
That said, I hear that a rematch is in the works for two weeks. But I'm not sure. "Massive" Mat just doesn't have what it takes. It needs someone badder, meaner, harder.
Someone with a much shorter name, for instance... |

Anyone think it's Dr. George Zahorian? That's the only guy I can think of... |

There I was, thinking I had a sweet name, then I open Byers' latest column and see-
Episode 9
Match Numero Uno: Q w/ The Smoke vs. Slyck Wagner Brown
Dammit. I'm Q! Not this loser.
Dammit.
Ah well. |

My WM 22 Card.
Edge (C) w/Lita vs. Cena w/Chain Gang (Mark and Women divisions) vs. HHH w/Sledgehammer- Cena gets screwed at RR, HHH also gets screwed at RR (in his mind), and I don't want to see either man against Edge by himself.
Angle (C) v Benoit, 30 Minute Iron-Man/Submission/Really Awesome match. Benoit wins the Rumble, stays on SD. A guy can dream, right?
Taker vs. Mark Henry- Bye Henry. See you later. Don't go to TNA, please. Japan would love you.
Ric Flair vs. Booker T w/Sharmell, non-title match.- IC champ vs. US champ. Eh, I can'y find anyone for either man to fight, so give them each other, in a "who's the better champ" dealy.
Fit Finley vs. William Regal w/Paul Burchill.- Give them a license to maim each other like it was Starrcade.
JBL w/New Chick vs. Matt Hardy vs. Randy Orton vs. Paul Burchill vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Rey Mysterio, Money In The Bank Ladder Match- Long goes "No GM, cool concept = YOINK!" JBL can brawl and has lots of hardcore history, Hardy knows ladders, Orton would be the winner, Burchill is good, apparently, Lashley can be Kane and Rey can fly like a crazy MFer.
RVD vs. Shelton w/Momma- With the lead up to ECW ONS 2 beginning, Shelton's Momma would make him challenge RVD. This sets up the Shelton heel turn, and be a good match.
Trish (Possibly C) vs. Micki (Possibly C) vs. Victoria, Women's Title.- I'd have Micki counter the counter from NYR to win the belt at the Rumble, but either way, this is the single best women's match you're going to get in North America right now, so why not?
MNM w/Melina (C) vs. The Mexicools vs. Shane/Johnson/Gymini/Whatever Twins, WWE Tag Titles- Getting guys on the card.
Kane & Big Show (C) vs. Carlito & Chris Masters, World Tag Titles- Gives the new guys the rub of beating the ultra big team, and begins the Carlito face turn.
Simon Dean (C) vs. Spanky vs. London vs. Noble vs. Kash vs. Davari, Crusierweight Title elimination match- And just let them go at it, please!
Hall Of Fame Induction- Ted DiBiase, Ricky Steamboat, Road Warrior Hawk, Mr. T (Celeb Wing), Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna, British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Bret Hart.
Heat: 20 man interbrand battle royal, everyone who's left.
I think that works. 11 matches is a lot, but keep Taker's match short and the outside stuff to a minimum you could make 4 hours, easy. |

This has been in the back of my mind for a while. Given Sega's status as pure software devloper, and given the long backstory, SSB seems the perfect place to have the ultimate battle. This is more for my own benefit to write down my ideas, namely this time round, the SEGA roster. Anyway, onto my ideas. (Yes, I know it's in development and this won't happen, but a man can dream, yes?
Assuming 25 characters (This is on Revolution, and thus the 25 Nintendo from Melee, or neat enough vs. 25 Sega sounds right, even if that means no Wario for me...), and making it solely Sega owned, not just Sega famous...
Sonic: Obvious place to start, to match the Mario set. Mario had 5/6, (Bowser, Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi, and, technically, Dr. Mario). So, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow and Dr. Robotnick/Eggman (Still can't get used to that).
Alex Kidd: Before Sonic, there was Alex. Punches, the use of S/P/R as a random special move, hell, if Ice Climbers, so does Alex.
Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue): He fights, he's newish, he's Sega owned, therefore he's in.
Phantasy Star: To match Fire Emblem. Lots of different versions, but let's stick to the original trio, Alis, Odin and Noah. That's 11...
Billy Hatcher: He's making the transition to Sonic Racers, so this makes sence too. Plus, Hatcher Eggs can be the alterative weapon to pokeballs.
Virtual Fighter: This would be tricky, if it wasn't for the Kids version. Thus, you can use their basic ideas, if you want cartoony. Or they can go the Samus route. Let's say Akira (after all, he's the main character) and Dural. 14.
Virtual On: If fricking Optumus Prime works, so do these guys. You could pick any number of them, but let's stick to 2, and the rest can be weapons or some such. As for which 2...Not my job. Pick your favourite 2. 16.
Super Monkey Ball: Aiai and Meemee, main and the female. 18.
Comix Zone: Sketch Turner, bitches! 19.
Frogger: Not sure how it would work, but this is the real G&M fight. 20.
Kid Chameleon: I assume this is Sega owned. Certainly makes sense as a fighter. 21.
Streets Of Rage: Eh, held out long enough. Axel, Blaze, Max. 24.
And, lucky last...
Wonder Boy: Ecco wouldn't work and I just can't see Segata Sanshiro fitting in. So, go with the guy before Alex.
Of course, if the console can hold more, make more. NiGHTS, more from Sonic/Virtual On/Streets/Monkey Ball/Virtual Fighter, a Crazy Taxi character, Intial D, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Space Channel 5 if the law suit is settled, Panzer Dragoon, a Columns level (or better still, a Columns vs Tetris level!), Shining Force...I've just scratched the surface.
But dammit, Sonic vs. Mario. For real! Damm it would be cool... |

I'm not a natural blogger. I tried, once, but gave it up because my life is boring. Not in the postive, "insight into real life" type boring, just boring boring. And all my creative energy is currently in other directions.
So, I'm not sure what's going to go here. Probably anything I wish to share about my Wrestling training/matches, which I'll start having this year. Any comments about the business I have. Fantasy booking. Random stuff I wish to share. Stuff like that.
But probably not on a regular basis. But we'll see. |
