Woah, Lawler has held a lot of titles!! Good to see Quake on the list. From what it looks like Lawler would win a title, hold it for two weeks, let another person win it from him and they hold it for 1-3 weeks and then Lawler wins it back. Nice booking. |

So from my list so far, Rikidozan, El Santo, and Gorgeous George have popped up so far. Cool, but I'd hoped for better. And yes, Lawler had a metric smurfton of titles.

Metric smurfton...I must remember to use that in as many conversations as possible, maybe even name my first child that ;D Your other choices are in higher (well obviously  ) but there are some more...unorthadox nominations coming up too ;D |

Oh, I'd be disappointed if there weren't any more unorthodox wrestlers coming up. And apologies if it seems like I'm whining, I just have very... strong opinions with regards to this. ;D
Also, and I never thought of this, but that phrase is actually funnier after the censors get at it. Huh.

That list for Lawler is smurfing insane I know! I guess it's safe to say he's the man who's hold the most belts in his career... there can't be someone who's hold more of them, right ? In the WWE trivia book they put out in 2003, one of the questions was what wrestler held the most titles throughout his career with I think the options of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, The Rock and Jerry Lawler and the correct answer was Lawler, so it seems even they somewhat recognize him as to having the most titles. |
