I'll shout it from the rooftops.

EL GRANDE AMERICANO IS THE WWE SPEED CHAMPION.

  @Wright Hill We feel hesitant in assigning the Speed Championship to Kaiser until he actually defends it or shows up with the title. So far the title was never mentioned since Kaiser took the El Grande identity, so it's fair to assume it's still only tied to Gable.

  Wright Hill · 22 hours ago
  
  @Andy Alright.. That's fair, but even 2k25 commentary mentioned it despite them still referring El Grande Americano as Gable. But go back and look at people like Ricochet, Candace LeRae, Andrade, Dragon Lee. They didn't walk around with the title. To my understanding, Sol Ruca is the first to actually carry the title around. Before her, they didn't carry OR respect the title at all.
  Granted it was a Twitter exclusive, which is kind of BS in my opinion and I'm glad it's on NXT now... I enjoy WWE speed, But the fact of the matter is they still mention it as El Grande Americano who holds the title and not Gable. Sure is the same guy, and it's not even Kaiser... But the character holds the title.
  
  I feel like Gable still holding the title It's like if They only mention Diesel being WWE Champ Instead of Kevin Nash. Nash was a five-time WCW Champion, And a one-time WWE champ. WWE calls him a six-time champion.

in faces/heels, Tyler Breeze shows up twice. both in NXT and in the main roster
in all or men/women, some of the lfg people still show up, not sure if its intended or not (The Undertaker, Jeremy Borash, Michelle McCool, Bubba Ray Dudley). even Peter Rosenberg from evolve is there
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. is now known as Dr. Wagner III
Jaida Parker is still in "OTM - Out The Mud" when she shouldn't be. the stable name itself is wrong too. check Bronco Nima's stable section on cagematch
Tony D'Angelo should be marked as inactive after his sopranos style ending, and Kit Wilson too for obvious reasons
John Cone is still a referee in WWE, should be added to the site. even if he doesnt appear much anymore
Asuka and Ludwig are probably the best examples of tweeners the company currently has, even more so than the wyatts or pretty deadly, I really think they should be changed as such
AJ Lee probably shouldn't have the Raw background as she doesn't either on the official site

  @TopKekyoin Hey, thanks!
  - Fixed Breeze.
  - The LFG people you mentioned show up because they also have additional roles in the company.
  - Updated Dr. Wagner III
  - OTM / Out The Mud are the same, OTM is the acronym. (eg. AOP / Authors of Pain)
  - Kit Wilson is still wrestling on Main Event
  - Fixed John Cone being missing (he's a producer, no longer a referee)
  - What starting dates do you recommend for the Tweener role for Asuka & Ludwig?
  - We put her on Raw as that's where the seems to be, but we'll change it in case it proves to be wrong

  @Andy thank you for always listening to us
  yeah, i know otm is an acronym but they started using the name as an acronym over the full name once jaida and scrypts left. do correct me if im wrong on this though
  my bad on kit wilson, you're completely right. what do you think of tony d though? look up "Someone Approached Tony D’Angelo | NXT Jul 29, 2025" on youtube, after this he has not been seen since with people thinking he'll join the main roster soon. just wondering if this should be considered as inactive for story or not.
  Aug. 18, 2025 (or Aug. 4, 2025 unless you would count it as more of a buildup) for Asuka, that's when the stuff with rhea and iyo really started and August 16, 2025 for Ludwig as that's when Triplemania started and we truly saw people cheer him on from that day
  
  random question, do you think you might do the same for aew/roh or maybe njpw too? with the low/high card stuff etc. i love all kind of wrestling and would love to use this site even more for everything and would be willing to help out more with recommendations, but if it will stay wwe centered then i fully understand since it IS the smackdownhotel after all. maybe putting aaa roster on the top of the site next to the rest where it says "wwe roster - aew roster ....... ECW" would be smart too since it's now owned by wwe, and cmll too since its as big as aaa

  @TopKekyoin - Not sure about the OTM acronym thing, as I don't follow NXT too much. If you're 100% sure about this I can change this. But otherwise I think it's no big deal. Even wikipedia still calls them Out The Mud.
  - As far as Tony, let's wait a bit to see how long he stays out to see if we need to mark him Inactive.
  - Updated Asuka and Ludwig
  - It's very hard to keep track of the low/mid/upper card thing for WWE already, so I assume it would be very hard to keep track of it accurately for other companies as well. We are a very small team. Would you be interested in helping out on the site itself and making the updates directly? If so, add me on discord: andybadwool
  Thanks!
