The Mayhem title was always defended under those rules. Hence how Chris Jones never made it to a PPV as champion. When Bowen became Mayhem Champion, his character lifted that rule.
He can hardly claim to be such a great champion even if he was long-reigning since he lifted that rule. I was robbed, robbed I say.
Also, do these new rules mean I'm going to have to post about all my NPCs that I use in my RPs? And does that mean I'm going to have to stop inserting random historical figures into Saxton's adventures?
