The list is well sourced and is modelled after the lists of WWE and Intercontinental champions, both of which are FLs.

Comment, anything other than wwe.com in terms of references? -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 04:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- A link to the title histories site is included, but there was really no need for other sources. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just curious; the information is of course verifiable by the one source, but two sources is always better than one. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 16:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have added a source from a different website. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Support. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 20:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. In all fairness, I don't think secondary sources are entirely necessary in a list like this; who better than the WWE to catalog who its champions are? All the other WWE featured lists reference almost exclusively the WWE title history page. Anthony Hit me up... 14:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well the problem is with the older titles, such as the WWE championship and the Intercontinental championship in which there are, in their older days, many title reigns that the WWE refuses to acknowledge - the most famous of these being Antonio Inoki's reign as WWE champion which still "officially" never happened. With the advent of the internet however this has become a moot issue and title changes of this sort have to be acknowledged due to how quickly information spreads i.e. Mickie James winning and losing the WWE Woman's Title in a single night in Italy during a house show due to an accident in the finish. –– Lid^(Talk) 16:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This article is comparable to other Wrestling lists. However, as Phoenix2 noted, "2 sources r better than one". In the same spirit, 3 is better than 2, and 4 is better than 3. Surely there are more than just 2 websites that confirm this info.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Todd661 (talk • contribs)

There are plenty of websites, but few of them are reliable. For example, OnlineWorldofWrestling, a "reliable source" per Wikipedia's standards has a list that is filled with glaring mistakes. So, there may be only two, but both are accurate. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
