On the November 19th edition of Review-A-Raw, John points out that 2012 is a leap year, and thus CM Punk was celebrating Day 366 of his title reign, not Day 365, since he won the title on November 19th, 2011.
Unfortunately, this is wrong. Survivor Series 2011 was held on November 20th, 2011.
Thus, today was Day 365 of Punk's title reign. However, he had not technically held the title for a full calendar year, because of the leap year, at the time of the 1-year celebration.

john pollock was completly right. aksanas gimmick is a "borderline hooker". that's how prostitutes from eastern europe look over here.

On the November 19th edition of Review-A-Raw, John mentions that CM Punk had a visual aid in the ring during his celebration to show where he was on the Top 10 longest WWE title reigns, and that he had just passed Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage.
This is a close one - on the list, CM Punk sits in 8th place currently. 9th and 10th belong to Hulk Hogan and Diesel, respectively.
7th is Randy Savage, although by next week's Raw, CM Punk will have passed Savage by 1 day (372 to 371).

Technically, you're slightly wrong...A calendar year is January 1st - December 31st, not from one date to the same the following year. Though you're right about him not holding it for a full calendar year.

This week's error. Punk won strap on Nov 20, 2011. Therefore Monday (Nov 19, 2011) was 365 days, not 366. 52 weeks + 1 day (364 +1 = 365)
I see I'm not first... oh well. It's nice to be on the boards.

If I heard correctly on this weeks Review-A-Raw, John mentioned that Roman Reigns was Yokozuna's brother while he is actually his cousin. Rosey is his actual brother.

I was listening to John & wai on review a raw talking about cm punk or the Wwe not factoring a leap year into punks title reign and that Monday was actually 366 days because punk won it on November 19th 2011. Curiosity got the better of me and after researching this myself I found that cm punk won the title on November20th. Therefore Monday was infact 365 days. Then I investigated cm punks claim that on Wednesday July 25th 2018 he would overtake Bruno sammartino as the longest reigning wwe champion. This too is incorrect. While it is indeed a Wednesday; on that date punk would still be a year shy of the record. However on Thursday July 25th 2019 cm punk would best Bruno's initial run of 2803 days(just short of eight years)and become the longest reignin champion. Although if I were to get technical, cm punk only has to beat john cena's 06-07 reign of 380 days to call himself the longest reigning WWE champion. Bruno was after all a WWWF champion. In conclusion I have too much time on my hands.

During the November 26, 2012 edition of Review-A-Raw, John requested that someone find out if Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio had ever wrestled before tonight.
I can't find anything that says that they did...it appears that maybe this really was their first match with each other in singles competition.
I did find a report that they were scheduled to wrestle on August 9th at a Smackdown house show in Tokyo, but that didn't end up happening.

As far as the whole CM Punk/Leap year thing...
Who Gives A Shit Who Gives A Fuck??!?
It doesn't matter and nobody cares. It seriously doesn't matter at all
I was going to post this in its own thread but I wouldn't want to upset any of the polite lurkers and sycophants hiding in the weeds in here...

on this past week's edition of Review a Raw, John said something along the lines of "Tamina Snuka/Alicia Fox 1"
They have wrestled 1 on 1 matches before.
November 8, 2011 on Smackdown September 6, 2011 on Superstars August 9, 2011 on Superstars

I was listening to review a wai today for survivor series 2003 and both John and wai said that during the buried alive match Kane took one of undertaker's MMA gloves when in fact it was taker's bandanna that Kane took and put in his tights before the dirt was dumped in the grave.

On the 12/5/12 episode of RaW, John says meeting John Danaher in NYC was literally the definition of finding a needle in a haystack. After further research, a literal definition would, in fact, be finding an actual needle in an actual haystack (sorry to be an ass

Hi Guys massive fan since the ask-a-wai days and a fan of the LAW for 7ish years now. Never commented before but after listen to the recent Review-a-Wai MSG show podcast. I have to chime in on the most memorable spot in that show. Yes Iron Sheiks boner!
I really have to disagree with the general idea that it was sheiky getting a little over excited in the match. I believe that its the glare coming from iron sheiks trunks. (this is why its in the fact checking thread)
