This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

I'm just glad its separate from the ROH/Strong titles. The ~~Double~~ Triple Crown was a dumb-ass idea.
Edit: Should have just been a trophy, gets ya a title opportunity and a trophy. Not another fucking belt lol.
I think calling the belt the Continental Crown was dumb, but the triple crown itself is pretty cool imo.
Also, it really should have been the existing international title.
I don't mind the idea of a triple crown, to be clear. We just never got one. We got adouble crown represented by a belt, which they referred to as triple crown. They have to fold 3 existing titles together to do that, they used 2 and made a brand new belt instead.
I wish it was treated like the Owen Hart belts where the winner gets it at the end and that's it.
There's already enough belts to defend.
it's probably an ownership thing but when they had david crockett at revolution for sting's last match i was hoping the continental classic would eventually become a revitalized crockett cup
but i'm not angry at an annual continental classic tournament either
This is a little weird. Because now that Eddie has dropped the title to Okada, it has to be explained that Eddie is the Continental Crown winner, but not the champion, and inversely, that Okada is the Continental Champion, but not the tournament winner. Feels like adding mud to the water.
Is the Continental Championship part of the newly revived rankings? If so, why did Okada get a shot without having wrestled a singles match in AEW? Did his ranking in NJPW carry over? I guess you could patch the holes in the story by just saying "The Bucks used their power as EVP's to force Eddie to put one of his titles on the line." But, man, this is really fucky.
Good news out of all this, unless he drops the belt, we know Okada will be in the next CC tournament.
@Neon_Carnivore @GeekFTW I don't mind a title being reset every year with a tournament and otherwise working like a regularly championship. I forgot that the rankings were back, in which case it does matter more that Okada got a shot out of nowhere. However, I don't feel like they've referenced the rankings that much in general. Still not convinced they're a good idea, but I'm open to seeing more.
100% expecting the rankings to probably be gone again by the end of the year lol. I like em, I just don't see TK utilizing them properly.
