IMO, a champion adds prestige to a title through the length of their title reign.
For example, John Cena's 2 year odyssey as champion added loads of prestige to the WWE Title. Nobody was able to defeat Cena for that title during his reign and since it went on for so long the title became much more Prestigious.
IMO, a champion adds credibility to a title when they stay active during their title reign, defending the title regularly, participating on the RAW/ SD/ ECW shows (either in matches, backstage promos, angles, etc), and spending time with fans.
For example, Beth Phoenix is adding prestige to the Womens title by being a dominant champion that can't be beat, however, Beth title reign isn't adding much credibility to the Womens title because she rarely defends it, she doesn't spend much time on RAW, and she doesn't participate in promos or angles on RAW either.
So how do you measure prestige, what must a champion do to add prestige to a title? credibility?
