The Shockmaster
Pre-Show Stalwart
Every week as I watch both Raw and Smackdown and constantly notice how different each one of there major Championships are presented.
On Raw I feel the WWE championship is more a glorified prop then a championship. It seems like every champion in the past year doesn't want to take the two seconds to snap the belt around there waist. They all bring the belt down to the ring either in there hand or over/around there shoulder. I can only remember Cena wearing it once(maybe twice)in his past reign. But other examples are Sheamus and Batista.
On Smackdown all the past champions of lately wear the World Heavyweight Championship around there waist. Undertaker, Jericho, Swagger and now Rey all wore/wear the championship to the ring.
To me a Championship should be treated with respect. All wrestlers dream of "wearing the gold" and it seems that Raw's roster of top superstars don't follow through on that. I mean Ted Dibiase wear the Million Dollar Belt with more pride then most of the WWE Championship holders and its not even a real title.
For decades wrestling greats have walked down the entrance ramp with the gold around there waist, from the WWE Championship to the Womens Championship dating back to their creation.
So my Question...
Do you think it is disrespectful to carry around the title as apposed to wearing it around the waist as countless others did in WWE's storied history?
(if you answered yes to the first question)
Why do you think the WWE Championship gets less respect than the adopted World Heavyweight Championship from the people that wear it?
Move this thread if its not in the right place but please don't delete it...i want to know if Im the only person who thinks about this kind of stuff.
