Antonio Inoki
Antonio Inoki did defeat Bob Backlund. The WWE Championship history used in the Wikipedia article List of WWE Champions has been taken directly from websites such as www.wrestling-titles.com and that site lists whoever has ever won a particular championship, regardless of the promotion that owns the championship doesn't recognize someone's win and reign. However, the official WWE Championship history provided on WWE.com doesn't list Antonio Inoki as ever winning the championship. As far as they're concerned, Backland's loss to Inoki never happened. It might not make much sense, but it doesn't have to really. Even if Inoki's win is recognized in Japan, that view point can't supercede that of the WWE's because it's the WWE's title. The WWE's interpretation is the official one, and that's what the articles have to show.Odin&#39;s Beard 23:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
