Talk:List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE)

message: I'm borrowing this response from Edward Hyena from the talk page at TNA X Division Championship to explain why I changed the dates to mark the beginning of each tag team's title win:
While it is understood that WWE SmackDown! (as well as many Professional Wrestling events) are not performed live, but pretaped, the kayfabe relies on the airdates as the occurance of the event. Let's give an example, Edge & Rey Mysterio won the title on November 5, 2002, but the event is aired November 7th. On the following SmackDown!, the announcers will refer to the title that was won "last week". They will not refer to the championship reign as having lasted only a few days, but a week ago, if they even mention title length. If someone else wins the title, it will be referred to as being held "for a week", instead of as being held for however long it was ACTUALLY held.
I think the point I'm trying to make is this. Kayfabe relies on what is being presented to the audience as a whole, and not what is actually happening. To a very large majority of the people who watch WWE wrestling, they watched the title change hands on SmackDown!, and not at the taping of SmackDown! a week earlier.
If anyone else wants to argue AGAINST my POV, they can just go to the official page located here vDub 18:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't leave this without a response. WWE admits that their show is taped, and has announced numerous title changes right after the show finished taping. Therefore, listing titles as changing when they aired is going against with the main source said. Mshake3 23:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it me, or is the WWE Tag Team Championship belt very similar to the belts used during the late 80s and 90s?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.177.39 (talk) 01:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :List of WWE Tag Team Champions's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Truetitlehistory":
From List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE): 
From List of WWE Intercontinental Champions: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I think there is enough evidence to add Xavier to the list.
1. His TNA tag title reign in which he didn't win the titles but is still listed on the Wikipedia page much like this one.
2. The Spirit Squad are all added to the World Tag Title list and that's even more people.
3. http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/2015-03-12/who-are-number-one-contenders-tag-team-titles-27189180 
This article by WWE a month and a half ago suggest that when New Day wins the tag titles it could be under "Freebird Rule"
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKl7_RAc6YM "this means a lot to me because this is my first championship gold in WWE"
If anyone has any reason as to NOT add him please let me know 'cause I might just go ahead and make the change for now, anyway. LordVacation 13:00, 27 April 2015
*So to sum up your reason for adding Original Research is
**He did it elsewhere
**It happened to someone else
**A suggestion
**A personal comment...
***Yeah I see NO reason to add him unless the WWE actually presents that as a fact.  MPJ -US  21:02, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Xavier Woods to be added?

message: WWE keeps listing them as 3 time champs when they come out to the ring. The info graphic says: "Former WWE Tag Team Champions (3 Times)". Why are they doing that? I even mailed them but WWE never answered me or fixed any of my previous error spottings.WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 13:42, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usos 3 time champs? 

message: I have just seen that recently this table has been bloated with the every same notice in most reigns that "WWE recognizes this reign as ... days" (e.g. here. While I accept that this information might be useful, the way it is presented is not. Where has this ever been discussed (certainly not here). My suggestion would be to add the differing number to the length column or add an extra column or at least to severely trim the note. Str1977 (talk) 17:43, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: On the main project page, it was discussed and this was the consensus reached archived here. Just finally got around to implementing it to this list. All other active championships except the Intercontinental have been updated to this change. --JDC808 ♫ 22:35, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Why aren't Cesaro and Sheamus listed as The Bar in any of their reigns? I know they weren't ALWAYS referred to as that but I think it should be added above. Solitude6nv5 (talk) 21:26, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

message: Hey, I noticed that New Day (Kingston & Woods) is separate from the main New Day title reign in Combined reigns - By team. The team is still the New Day though, so shouldn't we just have that total be there with a note that Big E was not part of this current reign (the 3rd one)? It would still show in Combined reign - by wrestler that his total days were not increasing. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 16:03, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The recent page moves left this list noted as a Featured List, which is not correct. What appears to have happened is that the original "List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE)" list, featured back in 2007, was moved to List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE, 1971–2010). Then, "List of WWE Raw Tag Team Champions" was moved to the "List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE)" title. This means that the (WWE, 1971–2010) is the featured one, while this list, despite taking its name, is not, as it has never been nominated under either name. As such, I'm removing the star and the article history template at the top of this page; feel free to nominate this list for FL status any time at WP:FLC. --PresN 20:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
