Essentially what I’m going to do here is to try and talk out a fundamental logic of challenge titles. Obviously, my main interest is in pro wrestling, but a lot of this is drawn from my fairly shallow look into how boxing and MMA titles are handled. I’m not sure if I can say there’s a “point” to this. I am, as always, trying to give more ammunition to a “sport-style” presentation for pro wrestling, and this is part of that. My hope is that this investigation can help provide a more realistic basis for wrestling stories than backstage attacks and burning down houses. But I’m not saying this is going to be a definite be-all end-all for how people have to look at titles. This is really more for my own purposes, but I think these types of investigations should be done for sports and I’m happy to join in.
