    Whilst some will argue whether wrestling is 'fake' or 'predetermined', the WWE certainly treat the past like it's fake and can be re-written.
    Take that HHH vs Taker WM match. Imagine if that happened in any other sport...
    'This is the first meeting between England and Brazil at the world cup!!'
    'Er, what about 2002? And 1970? '62? 1956?'

    Bill Goldberg being undefeated to start his WCW career was a retcon. Roddy Piper faced 4 different guys as a tryout to be on his team for an upcoming match, and he defeated Goldberg. It was after this that the streak began.

    I think that the Divas Title to Women's Title is only counted as one title reign for Charlotte, since Charlotte was the Divas Champion going into WrestleMania 32, where Lita introduced the then-new Women's Championship, and Charlotte won that match. Thus, since she was champion going into WrestleMania and walked out technically still as champion, even though the title she held was different, there was really no real gap between the two titles for her.

      @@Segwo Hogan called it _both_ things during that original promo at Bash at the Beach.
      To start with he gets it perfectly correct, calling it the "New World Order of wrestling, brother" - but then he refers to "that organisation up north" (i.e. the WWF) about five times in quick succession. So I think he'd probably just got the word stuck in his head by the time he mentions the nascent nWo twice more towards the end of the promo, and thus each time mistakenly calls it the "New World Organisation".
      It was definitely a simple mistake on his part, though: the word was always meant to be "Order" because the idea of a "new world order" was a thing already.

    Her first reign as Women's Champion was just a continuation of her Divas reign, just with a new belt with a new name. If they had Sasha or Becky win at WM32, She would be a 1 time Divas Champ.
