I know I'm going to regret this, but what does a 5XL wrestling fan look like? Kinda reminded of that Gabriel Iglesias levels of fatness bit.

Nothing screams "creative has nothing for you" like jobbing for months, being taken off of tv to "reset" the character, and returning in *precisely* the same persona, look, etc. Perhaps we'll see "Jake Hager" in Aces and Eights by the end of the year.

They shotgun him to a world title and then drop him off the face of the earth. Sorta like Del Rio prior to his recent face-turn title run. Typical WWE.

Isn't this Del Rio's first WWE title run (right now)?

That's Ahmed Johnson

First WHC run.

Had the WWE title before. Twice, even. He's actually the one that Punk beat to start his reign, if I'm remembering correctly. It was during the whole Nash thing.

Oh, yikes. Does that make me a moron or WWE too cluttered?

I could see either argument.

How many total belts are there currently? Active at least, meaning they're still being won/lost.

WWE, WHC, IC, US, Tag, Divas... so, 6?

That's just off the top of my head, so I could be wrong. That's actually less than I thought, but then I remembered that they combined the Tag and Women's belts a while back. Really, if they wanted to end the brand split once and for all, they'd only need to ditch the WHC and US titles, neither of which would be a huge loss.

Quick, no googling: name the last 5 tag team champions, in order, starting with the most recent!

Last I serously paid attention to WWE product there were 3 belts I think, The championship belt(or whatever they actually called it back then), Intercontinental, and tag team.

Team Hell No
Prime Time Players
Team Carlitos brother
Kofi and Truth
Errrr Punjabi Playboy and Hornswoggle.

That's from someone who barely watches wrestling these days and is barely paying attention when he does, how'd I do ?

Odds that they kill the lights at some point to take a jab at the NFL tonight?

Well, the Undertaker does need to come back at some point to set up Mania.

As someone who still follows, I had to look it up beyond Team Hell No. Looks like you scored 2/5.
THN
Kofi and R-Truth
Epico and Primo
Kofi and Evan Bourne (really!)
David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty (really?)

I used to really enjoy the tag teams too. Headshrinkers, Bushwackers, Natural Disasters, Legion of Doom, various versions of the Hart Foundation etc.

Sigh...

The shame of it is that WWE seemed to actually be a building a division again. With the announcement that the Rhodes Scholars are done, I'm not so sure anymore. Up until that, the division was stronger than it had been in years.

I will at least give them credit for breaking up the RS in a non-obvious fashion. No bust up, no face turn... just a decision to go singles. It's almost refreshing.

To be fair, the only title I can do this for with any amount of confidence is the WWE Championship (Rock, Punk, Del Rio, Punk, Cena). The end of that I'm not even sure on, wasn't that when they had dual champions and the tournament and all that?

Almost, but they did the same thing with Kofi/Truth a few months ago.

Well, rumors are they are killing PTP to set Titus O'Neil on a singles career.

That tag team division rebirth sure did last long.
