Why does WWE act like 17 is a world record when Flair won like 20-something championships? So did Lawler. A bunch of those for Flair were NWA. WCCW (no not WCW) AWA and such. Is that what WWE is counting is just WCW but even then it's flaky as some of the early WCW stuff was when they used the NWA belt. Whatever not watched WWE in 10 years. I been rewatching AEW PPVs on MAX and just watched Stings last match again. Revolutuon was amazing this year and look forward to Wed.

They are only counting the "World" titles from WWF, WWE, WCW and NWA

"Flair is recognized by WWE as a 16-time world champion (8-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, 6-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and two-time WWF Champion)"

Though it seems like he had about 20 or 21 titles going by other sources - for some reason WWE is counting only 16 lol

That's what I mean. He's won 21. Thing is Lawler won Almost 30 world titles with one promotion alone in the 80s.
