I see what you guys are saying, but when WWE took over WCW they also got the history of it's title... a history that has Paul Wight winning the title at the age of 24. A title that is now the heavyweight title on RAW. A title that the WWE claims Brock was the youngest to hold.

Brock never was the youngest in the first place. He never held that "claim to fame". Not legitimately anyway. But the sad fact is that Vince's desire to obliterate his competition didn't end with buying it.

And just as a reminder, it isn't Vince saying that Orton is the youngest in the company... It's part of Orton's persona now. Just earlier on RAW I heard the King say it too many times to count... "the youngest in the history of this business". Maybe some will take "this business" to mean the WWE. I have always taken that phrase to mean the "business" of wrestling.

Does this change my life? No. As I said, It irritates me. It's not that big of a deal, but one I felt like venting here and seeing whether anyone agreed with me or not.
