Anyone got any facts on if AJ Styles wins the WWE World Heavyweight title? I'm pretty sure there's some interesting ones.

While a small handful (including Foley, Jeff Hardy and Angle) have held both, Styles would be the first person to win the TNA title first, *then* the WWE title. All the others went the other direction.

Some people might remember the time Ryback squashed a jobber named Stan Stansky, and laughed off his horribly redundant full name.
However, he was actually named after WWE's real-life Senior Vice President of Creative Services Stan Stanski.

New Japan's "Unchained King Kong", Togi Makabe, voiced Rictus Erectus in the Japanese dub of Mad Max: Fury Road.

It'd be separate probably since the WWE World Heavyweight title is considered different to the World Heavyweight title.

Slammiversary 2012 drew over 5000 fans.
Slammiversary 2016 will be held at the Impact Zone, which holds about 1000 fans.
Also, only 4 who wrestled at Slam2012 are still with TNA.

When Mabel won the King of the Ring tournament in 1995, an actual King of the Ring title belt was made but it never made it to TV.

I counted 5 (James Storm/Robbie E/Jeff Hardy/Gail Kim/Joseph Park) unless one of them just left without me knowing.

Whomever designed that belt was WAY behind the times. In the upper left corner I see the flag of the Soviet Union, which collapsed 4 years BEFORE Mabel won King of the Ring!

But I could see it getting old fast after awhile, as presumably you can't put it up and defend it except at the once a year tournament. So you'd be stuck down dragging it around forever without any real purpose. The flags on the side make me think it wouldve been interesting making it a global tournament, with wrestlers from Canada, Mexico, Japan, the UK...could've been really cool.

That's nothing like Union Flag either. It's St Andrew's Cross with a bit of red paint slapped on it.

Yeah, that was a vanity belt Mabel had made for himself after the fact (it's actually a common practice in the business, as many guys order a duplicate to keep of a belt they held after losing it to succeeding champion). Not that this was done by an amateur or anything; former wrestler Reggie Parks designed and made a crapload of the belts we know from the big promotions. Numerous ones from WWF/E including the Winged Eagle, Hogan's 84-86 belts, Andre's oversized one from the WM3 build-up, and various versions of the IC, Tag and Womens belts; Incarnations of the WCW World, Tag, US, TV (and other) belts in the early-mid 90s; almost all of the World Class belts, the NWA Domed Globe belt, the AWA "platter" belt, some of the Zuffa-era UFC belts, stuff for Florida, Portland, Smokey Mountain, etc.
