[edit] NWA Canadian Heavyweight title history

I have noticed several attempts to merge the history of the Toronto version of the NWA Canadian Heavyweight title into that of the current, NWA Board-sanctioned version of the championship.

According to the Wrestling Titles history website (http://www.wrestling-titles.com) and the book Wrestling Title Histories by Gary Will, the two championships are considered to be separate titles, not a continuation of the same title. More weight should be given to those publications in consideration of the titles' histories. Starbuck-2 23:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

If you look at other sources such as Solie.org and they do use the Gary Will book, that ECCW and NWA revived the Canadian Heavyweight Championship used in Toronto. Now if the NWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship and the Canadian Heavyweight Championship are different, then why does it sat on Solie.org that ECCW revived the Canadian Heavyweight Championship used in Toronto? It seems you have completely ignored the source I provided. At least I did provide one on the page. Take a look here. You will notice that they credit Gary Will's book. Also, if you look at Wrestling-Titles.com, you will see they still credit pre 1998 revival as the Canadian Heavyweight Championship used in Toronto. Either way, it's still the same title whether or not NWA revived it or not. Unless you Starbuck have personally read the Gary Will book, your arguement breathes no life.

Here's another source for it: [1] So should we merge? ^---SilentRAGE! 05:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be merged. I mean, it's the same lineage that is on Solie.org. There are two sources that have the same lineage. Therefore it trumps Starbuck's one source. Mr. C.C. 05:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I still say no, because the current version of the NWA Canadian title and the old Toronto version are, according to Wrestling-Titles.com (http://www.wrestling-titles.com/canada/can-h.html) and Gary Will's book, separate titles, not the same title. Whoever runs the Solie.org site was mistaken when they merged the histories of two completely different titles, and the ECCW site has also gotten it wrong by going off of Solie.org's info.

Wrestling Titles.com is not an authority figure by any means. If somebody owns the rights to a title, they can give it whatever lineage they want. To quote someone else here on Wikipedia: "It may be historical revisionism, but it's official historical revisionism." ^---SilentRAGE! 18:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

As I stated above that two sources with the same lineage trumps Starbuck's one source. So who else wants this article re-merged besides me? Mr. C.C. 05:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
