Tim's NWF: Title Histories and Other Stuff

[TDalton]

I'm going to use this as my record keeping thread. It will contain title histories, supercard results, and other things of that nature.

Having all these things in one place will make it easier to update and reference. No more sorting through my fed results looking for "The Sheik's Unholy Reign of Terror" detail every time I have to update it.

First singles loss by pinfall or submission happens in his 43rd match against Bobo Brazil. The match wasn't sanctioned, so the loss didn't effect his NWF record. The loss to Larry Zbyszko in his 49th match is his first official NWF loss! After over 40 sactioned singles matches, he still has only the one pinfall loss!

So much for the Unholy Reign of Terror coming to an end! With the North American Title back around his waist, The Sheik has shifted the reign of terror into second gear! Can the NWF survive? Keep watching for further developments!

The Sheik's record in NWF sanctioned singles matches:

Singles : 37 - 6 - 4 (31 - 1)

Note: the numbers in "( )" indicate record in matches decided by pinfall or submission.
