Multiple Grand Slams?

For the WWE (modern) and TNA Grand Slam listings, is there a better way to list the dates of the 2nd Grand Slam? For example, maybe list the dates and reigns that compose of the second reign as Grand Slam? retched (talk) 19:43, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Bret Hart

Bret Hart is a Grand Slam Champion too. He won the WWE Title, the tag titles, the IC title and the US title. 89.204.130.246 (talk) 09:24, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

So WWE does not recognize WCW-owned reigns of the championships when counting for the WWE Grand Slam Championship. However, the argument does make sense as the lineages for both titles DO line up. (WWE recognizes the US title as starting back in the NWA era through the end of the WCW/Turner era.) Nonetheless, WWE didn't update their original list (nor the revised list) to include any WCW title reign which is what matters most. retched (talk) 13:43, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

WCW?

Why isn't there a WCW section? 2600:387:C:6A14:0:0:0:2 (talk) 18:10, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Because WCW never defined a Grand Slam criteria before they went under. Sure, the idea of using their Triple Crown (World, US, and Tag titles) with the addition of the TV title seems plausible, but a) since they never declared it as such, we cannot say it was, and b) the TV title was abandoned well before the company folded, so it's clear they didn't really care much about it themselves. But mostly a). We can't introduce something that didn't actually exist. oknazevad (talk) 23:26, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

bret won the wwe US title as well

bret hart being a grand slam champions was brought up and the reason for not adding him was that wwe doesn't count wcw US titles but bret won the wwe US title back in 2009 or so

so he's part of the new grand slam format 2607:FEA8:BF1D:7700:FCE1:6CF3:6193:3D0 (talk) 18:37, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

No. As I stated above, Bret won the WCW United States States Championship. WWE only counts title reigns that were started during the WWE's ownership of WCW and onward as part of the Grand Slam. While the histories are the same, that qualifier makes it not a part of the WWE Grand Slam. retched (talk) 18:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Rhea Ripley Grand Slam note

In addition to Rhea Ripley becoming the 5th female to become a grand slam champion in WWE joining Askua Sasha Banks Charlotte Flair and Bayley and doing it the fastest. Rhea Ripley is also the first wrestler in history to conquer the female titles of RAW, SmackDown, NXT and NXT UK with the exception of the NXT Womens Tag Team Championship. - 2A02:C7C:53C1:E00:6D68:BFEC:AC91:7F55 (talk) 11:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Split proposal

I proposed that the section about WWE Grand Slam winners be split into a separate page called List of WWE Grand Slam winners because the section is too long. -St3095 ^(?) 04:34, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

I don't think it's too long per se. The question is, I suppose, if you remove the WWE Grand Slam stuff, is the other Grand Slams notable on their own? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Oppose Article is about wrestling Grand Slams. If you take out WWE, then it would open up Pandora's Box for people to want the other Slams to have their own page. Let sleeping dogs lie. Vjmlhds (talk) 02:45, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

It seems unfair to not include Dolph Ziggler (Nick Nemeth) as a Grand Slam Champion

I can only assume the rationale here is that Ziggler "only" won the World Heavyweight Title ("the Big Gold Belt") to go along with his various tag-team, IC, and US title reigns. But that title (with a history stretching back over 100 years) was considered co-equal to the WWF/WWE title (now merged with the Universal title and referred to, IMO inelegantly, as the "WWE Undisputed Universal Championship") and it was NOT discontinued in 2013; it was UNIFIED with the WWE title.

Its history should count towards the Grand Slam and Ziggler should be recognized as a Grand Slam Champion. It seems unfair to consider Christian (who likewise won this title but not the WWF/WWE title) a Grand Slam Champion because he qualified under the old rules (winning a tertiary championship), but exclude Ziggler. And it IMO unfairly disadvantages Jack Swagger (Jake Hager), who is only 42 years old and still an active wrester, to say that he can't be considered a Triple Crown Champion (should he return to WWE and win a Tag-Team Championship to go with his World Heavyweight and U.S. Title reigns) or a Grand Slam (should Swagger also win the Intercontinental Championship) winner.

(Mark Hardy would also be subject to such a disadvantage, but he has retired.)

I realize that WWE has their own standards, but IMO general recognition for Ziggler would put pressure on them to remedy this error. Thoughts? 2600:1700:F070:AB10:214C:9205:4018:90B6 (talk) 18:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

We don't make up our own rules and definitions. Is it unfair? Maybe. Do we care? Absolutely not. WWE doesn't list him as a grand slam champion, so we don't either. Period. oknazevad (talk) 03:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

The WWE Women’s grand slam needs a revised version like the men

Ok so the Women’s grand slam in wwe is changing with the introduction of both the WWE Womens United States and Intercontinental Championships. So there needs to be a revised version of the women’s grand slam section, it’s unclear at the time if the nxt women’s and nxt women’s North American championships will be included into the new revised women’s grand slam as the NXT women’s championship was only included in the grand slam because the women didn’t have a mid-card title to go for at the time S7Nightmare (talk) 03:18, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
