Talk:List of WCW World Tag Team Champions

message: So what you're saying is that the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Titles and the WCW Tag Team Titles are one in the same.
Kind of like how the NWA Eastern Championship became the ECW World Title.
The (now WWE) U.S. Title and the TV Title actually belonged to Mid Atlantic Wrestling (which became Jim Crockett Productions, which became WCW), so it would make sense that the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship which while bearing the NWA name would morph into the WCW Tag Team Titles the same way the (then) WCW U.S and WCW TV Titles did.
So all Mid-Atlantic Champions should now retroactively given credit as being WCW Tag team Champions.
I believe this is the correct thing to do because the U.S. TV and Tag Team Titles were property of Mid-Atlantic/JCP/WCW and thus the lineages continued, while the NWA World Title was controlled by the NWA Board of Directors, so WCW had to create a new World Title.
What do others think?

:"Kind of like how the NWA Eastern Championship became the ECW World Title." Not really. It wasn't ever the Eastern Championship, even when the company was NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling, it was always the ECW title. It went from being the Eastern Championship Wrestling Title to the Extreme Championship Wrestling World Title. ECW might have been in the NWA, but the ECW title wasn't an NWA controlled title, unlike the various titles that WCW took over.69.216.124.114 07:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you knew your history, Jim Crockett was the president of the NWA during this time. When we state "the NWA created" or "the NWA stripped", we are referring to the company itself (board of directors, territory leaders/promoters). So "the NWA" is equivalent to stating "Jim Crockett created". Its just another way of stating it, either is correct, but neutrally its best to state it as "the NWA".--Truco 503 01:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification 

message: It's looking very good so far, it's nice to see the lead larger than a couple of sentences. After a quickie review I have a few suggestions for the list:
#Team names do not need to be bolded.
#The Wrestling-Titles.com source is used over 30 times, perhaps it would be easier to switch it to a general reference.

replies: text: I have gone ahead and removed the redundant team names, as well as a bunch of redundant wikilinks (though I did have quite a few snafus whilst doing so, if you check the page history). Anyway, all that's left in that regard is the redundant links to things like house show and Nitro in the last column. I'll get to that another time if no one else does.

thread_title: WrestleWar '89

message: Where did someone get the idea that the early reigns were/are only recognized by the NWA? That is, to put it simply, complete garbage. The WCW titles are the same thing as the MACW titles, because when Turner bought out Crockett, they merely continued under a different name. Also, the NWA only had their own NWA Tag Titles from 1992 onwards, and even then only recognize "NWA Tag titles" from 1995 on! Does anyone have links to archived pages from when WCW.com was still running? If so, it will be very easy to disprove this "only recognized by NWA". Could whoever came up with this concept please explain why and how? 41.245.155.132 (talk) 07:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes 41.XXX.XXX.XXX For once we're on the same page here. The WCW/WWF section merger is compromise for now. --UnquestionableTruth-- 07:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes, I talked to Truco about the WCW and NWA Tag Titles not ever being unified, bur rather defended simultaniously. Now, according to this archived WCW Tag Team Championship page from WCW.com dating back to November 10, 2000, WCW did recognize its predecessor's reign history dating back to the 80's. Earlier archives suggest The Minnesota Wrecking Crew's first reign in '75 was also recognized by WCW. --UnquestionableTruth-- 08:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is, the reigns are there under the WCW Tag Team Championship, but when the title was the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship, which is the predecessor to this title, those reigns were only recognized by the NWA and MACW at that time. When MACW became WCW, and withdrew from the NWA, WCW created their own WCW Tag Team Championship, but they did not recognize any reigns from the NWA because the NWA owned the copyrights to their title and they couldn't promote that title in their company. In the WCW archives, WCW only recognized the champions that held the new belt, although they reference to the past saying that the Minnesota Wrecking Crew were the first tag team champions in WCW, but not of this new belt.-- 15:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Truco could you look at the the archived page from WCW.com? This Page Right Here. Because it seems that your reply was written without you having taken a look at the link. I'm afraid that you are incorrect. It shows that WCW did in fact recognize reigns of MACW. --UnquestionableTruth-- 16:29, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But only up to the 80's, so the ones prior to that are only recognized by MACW under the NWA, so my guess is to leave those in the NWA section and move the rest to the WCW/WWF section. No? 16:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok we'll have that as a compromise until an earlier archive of the page can be located. --UnquestionableTruth-- 16:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Its in the sources.-- 15:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Where is your source that states there was another Mid Atlantic Tag Team Championship? I'm not denying your claim, but it needs verification by a reliable source.--Truco 503 01:06, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only recognized by the NWA?!! 

message: Okay, in the article we say the NWA created. the NWA refers to the organization as a whole, including the bookers, promoters, and owners of territories. the NWA also refers to Jim Crockett, Jr., just not directly. It would be like instead of saying Stephanie McMahon reactivated  the US Championship -> WWE reactivated the US Championship. There are no direct reliable refs that state Crockett, Jr. created the NWA World Tag Team Championship, nor a NWA President, so we go by the info we have available. In addition, yes I agree there was an error with the names of the NWA World Tag Team/NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championships, which I have fixed. This is directed to those IPs who keep reverting.--Truco 503 15:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NWA/Jim Crockett, Jr. 

message: It makes no sense for them to be mentioned twice. The disclaimer showing their 'different recognition' doesn't really explain anything as I have no idea what it means. Yes the championship was under control of a different company but the reign was continuous and was unaffected by the change, the names of the belts didn't even change. All this warrants is a note in the relevent column, just like Booker T's reign in the WCW Championship list and all parrallels. Tony2Times (talk) 18:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  O'Haire & Palumbo twice 

message: Question: Something looks out of place in the chronology:
Feb. 18, 1991: Match in which The Fabulous Freebirds drop the belts to the Steiners is filmed.
Feb. 24, 1991: Match in which Doom drops the belts to the Freebirds takes place on PPV.
Mar. 9, 1991: Freebirds-Steiners match broadcast on television.
This makes no sense to me. I know this info to be correct, since several other sites give the exact same info, but my question is why would WCW film the events out of airing order to begin with??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blozier2006 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually we do, it was just the wonky way WCW always used to tape shows far in advance yet run PPV's live. It wasn't uncommon to know the results of an upcoming PPV months in advance by paying attention to reports of their various tapings. This just happened to be one of the most egregious examples of the practice coming into play. Another example is the time Flair had to, on a live show, do an angle setting up a match on a previously taped show where he and Sid were going to team, but by the time of the live show Sid had already left the company following his real life stab fight with Arn. I don't have sources, and it's really outside of the scope of the article anyway, but if anyone wants to know why there was a negative title reign, there you go.76.226.112.55 (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why tape title changes out of broadcast order?? 

message: On WWE.com in the HOF section, Ric Flair's bio lists him as a WCW Tag Team Champion.
Flair had the belt long before it became the WCW Tag team Championship.
So this would indicate WWE recognizes the entire history of the belt, not just from a certain point.

thread_title:  Rehash? 

message: Since this is a Featured List I want to give everyone a heads up on what I am about to do and why. First the why - to make sure the table format is the same for all pro wrestling championships. The changes are
*Table is sortable, so all names should be linked since we don't know which one is going to be first if you change the sort order
*Imposed sorting by last name if there is no team name or by team name (ignoring the "the")
*adding scope=row (not sure why but apparently it's part of a readability/usability thing and I've been asked to do so for my most recent FLs
*Separate (unsortable) reference column.
*Unlinking all locations, again something I've been asked to do in FLC reviews since reading about the city does not in any way add to the understanding of the article.
:*So hopefully these changes all make sense to everyone, if not don't just revert it all, let's figure out what you're not on board with.  MPJ-DK  00:05, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
