Line 139:
== Professional Wrestling ==
* The [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s ''Wrestlemania'' Pay-Per-View events are normally numbered (although they seem to have trouble deciding whether to use Roman or Arabic numerals), with three exceptions: the sixteenth was dubbed ''Wrestlemania 2000'' to capitalize on millennial fever (and because it was in the year 2000), and the seventeenth and eighteenth were ''Wrestlemania X-Seven'' and ''Wrestlemania X8'', respectively, for [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]] effect. Their other Pay-Per-View events don't use any form of numbering, instead being identified by the year in which they were held
** The only other Wrestlemania not to use Roman numerals was XIII - which was promoted with Arabic numerals.
* [[WCW]]'s first nine ''Superbrawl'' PPV events were appropriately numbered, then the next was named ''Superbrawl 2000'' much like WWF did with ''Wrestlemania''. This was followed by ''Superbrawl Revenge'', the final Superbrawl before WCW was closed down.
Line 201:
* The sequels to ''[[Sakura Wars]]'' are ''[[Sakura Wars]] 2'', ''3'', ''4''... and ''V''.
* The ''[[Frasnchise/Sonic The Hedgehog|Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' series has become very cluttered with sequel numbers. The games for the [[Sega Genesis]] include ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' (also called ''Sonic 1''), ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' and ''Sonic & Knuckles'', [[One Game for the Price of Two|the two halves]] of [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|one game]]. Three console generations later, a fourth game was added to the series, called [[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]].
** Sonic 1, of course, should not be confused with the [[Recycled Title|identically named]] ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)
** Numerous other games in the franchise have their own sequels, some more straightforward than others:
*** ''[[Sonic Drift]]'' 1 & 2
