Is this a Sign?

[ThePeoplesChampion]

So i've been hearing that they are going to unify the tag titles at wm 25. and it could be quite possible they could do the same with the womens titles too. What im getting at is is this a sign of maybe unifying every belt? I mean i have it planned out....ok after the draft and at summerslam we have the us champ vs. ic champ (hopefully cm punk vs. mvp or shelton) then the main event ecw champion( rey mysterio, move him in the draft and make him champ,) vs. World Heavyweight Champion (Cena or Edge) vs. Randy Orton the WWE Champion for the new undisputed champion. So wat u think?

It'd make sense. If you're not going to push one belt in a certain division you're not going to push two. Overall, if it happens I only think it'll make the remaining titles look more legit because they don't have another one but that's about it. I seriously doubt that the IC or tag titles would suddenly get put in better positions.

 

[LokiCobain]

If they put any belts together, it would be IC and US and the Tag titles. They just invested in this new (yet awful) Divas title, so I doubt they'd give up on that so quickly. They simply can't get rid of the ECW title, as I think as long as there are 3 brands, there must be a title on each, since the point of a title is to add interest. I feel the same way about the tag titles, however WWE has stopped caring about the tag team division (even combining all the tag teams in all three brands there's hardly enough for a legitimate division). In fact, the WWE has stopped caring about all the titles, except the WHC and the WWE. I don't think that unifying the IC and US will do anything, because at the end of the day the WWE still has to make the titles matter. Each show has its own creative team, and it's their fault for not putting the title in a position to be in an effective storyline. Personally, I don't think unifying the titles will make a big difference either way, as the WWE just simply doesn't care nearly enough about them

 

[Scorpio8975]

I think that the division you definately dont need to unify is the IC and US title divisions because each show should still have a belt that is just defended on that show. Every other belt should be unified though with the exception of the ECW belt because that show should have it's own belt seeing as how it's an on-screen developmental program. Unifying the Tag Belts is a brilliant idea because it does give the tag champs a lot more credit and the belts have to be defeded on every show like Miz and Morrison are already doing. The Divas Title is completely pointless and to me the idea of having two World Champions kinda dilutes the meaning of being a "World Champion" because when you are at the top that should mean you are the best out of every show

I think they should either do it at Night of Champions or have another special type of PPV (I doubt they'd do it on free TV) but here is what I think:

They should wipe out every current champion over time and hold tournments to crown new champions of WWE championship, IC, Tag Titles, womens, go back to the old days of less championships and back when they meant something.

The unification of the tag team titles is only because it is the weakest division. You have maybe 5 teams right now on all three brands, that being Miz & Morrison,The Colons, Jesse & Festus, Hawkins & Ryder, and Cryme Time. Jesse, Festus, Hawkins, and Ryder are sparingly used at that. There are 19 divas right now on all three brands, including those who don't actually wrestle so it wouldn't make much sense to invest so little into the Diva's championship and then unify it. There is separation there for Raw and Smackdown! because Smackdown! Divas need some sort of representation title wise after all of these years.The IC and US titles both have a long standing history and I feel are necessary for both brands to have. They bring something different and really shows how a champion upholds the title's keep and if they should be brought to that next level of a World's champion. The divisions each have something special too with the rosters that go after the title. I like Shelton Benjamin's take on all comers approach, having defended the US title quite often since holding it. I also think JBL will bring something new to the IC title.
As far as the World titles go - I like there being two different World titles. It makes Wrestlemania special, it makes the shows special. It isn't diluting the prestige of the name "World Champion" because there is a World Champion in every organization and company. WWE at least differentiates between a WWE Champion and a World Heavyweight Champion. I've seen crappy indy promotions with 3 different World Champions. Trust me, not the best of the show there.

 

[Ghostboy259]

Honestly, I think they should unify the tag team belts, and Make the smackdown womens championship..... a womens tag team championship. But then again, My opinion also includes A womens brand. If people don't want to watch the divas, then shouldnt have to.They already have the new show "Superstars" on thursdays. why not make a new show on Wednesdays for the Divas? Maybe then Santino could win a match...

 

[Chris in SC]

Unifying the tag titles and WWE/World makes sense. Keep US and Intercontenental brand specific. If they insist on broadcasting title matches every week, do these. Matches for the main title should be something special, monthly to every 6 weeks or so, after a decent buildup.

Have the ECW title as mentioned, and make the new Superstars show the cruiserweight show and bring back the Cruiserweight championship for it. There's a huge segment of the fanbase that is longing for this.

Mysterio, Bourne, Kingston, Noble etc could move there. Rey v. Kane/Knox is getting old. They've beaten the David/Goliath thing to death. At least with this plan, Funaki and Jimmy Wang Yang would at least get to job on TV. This would also give Raw and SD the space to spotlight the IC/US titles more.

As far as the divas, keep the 2 titles. Women's champion for the more experienced/credible bunch like Melina, Phoenix, eventually Natalya etc. and the divas title for the eye candy like Maryse, Kelly Kelly etc. Or unify. Whatever. Just put Maryse and Kelly Kelly on TV alot.

Unify the Tag Belts . . . it's ridiculous to have all these damn titles. Besides the Colons are as bad as the mustache on Primo's face . . . they have to go. I know they have the LATIN flavor . . . but they are disgusting.

Anyways . . . they need to unify the Heavyweight Title and make the US and IC more relevant. Edge and HHH are the only two men recognized for being champions week in and week out and the rest of the titles are just . . nothing.

 

[JTS32]

I would love to have one world title the IC title the tag titles and one women's but I don't think Vince is ready to give up on the brand extension. I wouldn't mind having one show focus on the tag teams or have that title defended on that show say smackdown and have the women's title on Raw. I don't really know a great way to do it though the tag division is weak anyway which I hate because I grew up on the great tag team era. British Bulldogs, Hart Foundation, Killer Bees, and the like. I was watching my Shawn Michales DVD the other day and watched matches between The Rockers and the Hart Foundation and The Rockers and The Brain Busters. Great, great matches you just don't see anymore. I want the tag titles to mean something again.

Womens belts:
opinion: should never of had 2

what'll happen: since they just made it they'll probably keep both around.

Tag belts:
opinion: unify them please

whats happening: I'm not convinced that they are unifying them, sure the signs are there but until they say its a unification match I not getting all of my hopes up. For all I know at the moment one of the teams will have both belts and lose one of the sets later, but they'd still have the other set.

U.S./Intercontinental:
opinion: to me the U.S. title is essentially the European championship all over again. At least prestige wise back when Bulldog and when HBK 1st had it (not the hand it over to HHH joke) it started out as quite a valid third tear belt. Of course with out the whole only defended in the Europe and or U.S. stipulation. I okay with both being around even though thanks to the ECW belt the perception of tiers is blurry now as fans would view the ECW U.S. and INT all as 2nd tear and no 3rd tear at all. Despite the WWE's efforts (if you can call them that) of making the ECW a top tier belt. Id prefer they acknowledge the US as a 3rd tear belt (yes im aware of it being a 2nd teir belt in WCW but the WWE already has one of those)

What will happen: As long as the brands are separated they will likely keep both and consider them both 2nd tier belts. Unifying them would either require a wrestler to be on all shows or a show to be short a belt (same with any unification of this nature with the brands still separated) So not happening any time soon.

Cruiser weight:

Questions: Where the hell did that thing go anyway? If its retired say so, or did i miss that announcement?

Opinion: well as much as i liked it when it was legit they seem to being doing well with out but if they get a good amount of good people in that division bring it back, but only then.

What'll happen: That's what I'd like to know

E.C.W.

Opinion: Yes we all kinda seem to be unsure of this one while the show kinda needs a champ to legitimize the show. Its clearly not a valuable belt and the E.C.W title is bothersome and at that rate I think Id be more accepting of the belt and show if they'd come up with there own name (yeah they own the name but I mean there own original idea and title) Even then the title wouldn't likely be worth much. If somehow E.C.W could have a larger roster and a 2 hour show I think then the belt could be worth something...something worthy of being a 3rd top tear belt. until then rename the belt and show or sack the belt or acknowledge its 2nd tier status. Unifying it with the WHC makes no sense as they aren't of any where near equal value. Imagine the match of Swagger v.s. say Edge no matter who wins you know the big gold belt is the one sticking around or perhaps a new (unlikely but not impossible) design altogether but definitely not the E.C.W. belt.

What'll happen: Nothing any time soon

WHC/WWE

opinion: as long as the shows are separated they'll keep it as is and as much as i didnt like it at 1st since allowing both brands to be at every PPV (what a horrible period it was with the separated PPV's) it works out ok and wrestlemania is helped out a great deal by having two main events with the main eventers they have going back to one belt would be good and bad. Good because who ever has it means alot more given how many other people are after it. Bad because the WWE would not remember how to utilize the other main eventers when they arent hunting for the belt. they cant have 10 guys fighting for it every month. They used to do this just fine before buying WCW youd have say austin rock for THEE belt and HHH foley taker Kane show would have other shit going on that wouldnt need the belt to make it matter. there starting to improve in regards to making non belt matched matter more but they would need some time to work that out before pulling the trigger

What will happen: Once again if they got 2 shows they'll keep 2 belts

well as long as this post is, i think i made my point clear and fairly concrete. i look forward to seeing how you folks dissect this one.

WWe titles quit meaning anything before all these title were made anyways . WWe titles quit meaning anything in the Attitude era. so you guys can't blame it on all the title or the brands ever . Attitude era is reason these title don't mean crap & the fans are alos at fault how they treat the titles . forget go back to old days of just one brand . lot more wrestlers get a chance to shine today then they would if there is one brand . if you had one brand this would be main eventer who would take up most of the show. HHH,HBK,Randy Orton,john cena,Edge, undertaker,Big show,chris jericho,JBL, & batista would all crowd up the main event for next fews years giving no one else a chance at all.. so we need the brands to so this won't happen .

Exactly, I'm glad someone else sees this. If you look at the main event matches at PPVs anyway, it's the same 3 guys on Raw, same 3 guys on Smackdown. If anything, they need to make ECW better. The problem has nothing to do with the brands, it has to do with the creative team not using the titles. The IC belt hasn't been defended at Wrestlemania in 6 years, that says a lot...

Overall, if it happens I only think it'll make the remaining titles look more legit because they don't have another one but that's about it. I seriously doubt that the IC or tag titles would suddenly get put in better positions.

I do agree that the tag division is on life support, but consider this, WWE can still re-create clearly two of the greatest tag teams in history: Edge and Christan, and the Hardy Boyz...of course now its obviously not possible, but this is one thing that can bring back excitement to the Tag Division

As for the unification being a sign..I highly doubt it, like Jake said the titles are unified cause the Tag division sucks!

But unifying all titles wont happen. Dont get me wrong, I WANT the return of the undisputed champ..its confusing enough to have two #1s in the WWE...but Im sure they created 2 champs with this draft extension to potentially lessen the work load for the superstars, (of course, there are exceptions to this)

As for the IC and US championships unifying, honestly who cares?

As for the womens division: Dont count on it happening..to unify a newly created title doesnt make much sense in my opinion..

 

[N'ron]

I think they are unifying the tag belts because there really arent that many tag teams in WWE. They got 7 actual male tag teams. Whats the point of keeping 2 titles?

 

[Razz]

Unify the Tag Belts . . . it's ridiculous to have all these damn titles. Besides the Colons are as bad as the mustache on Primo's face . . . they have to go. I know they have the LATIN flavor . . . but they are disgusting.

Anyways . . . they need to unify the Heavyweight Title and make the US and IC more relevant. Edge and HHH are the only two men recognized for being champions week in and week out and the rest of the titles are just . . nothing.

Have to disagree about the Colons, they are quite a good tag team and work well together. But its WWE fault they have no tag division, they don't concentrate enough on it. They built up the wrestlers and then made half the guys into useless jobbers with no air time and angles and lowcarders like Jesse/Festus, Hawkins/Ryder, even Cryme Tyme. Even Orton/Rhodes barely wrestled as a team for a while now, granted they are in the HHH angle. It's like divisions in WWE don't mean alot anymore which sucks. It's like most of the focus is about the main eventers and those surrounding the top. I used to like it when hardcore, cruiserweight etc.. were actually somewhat important and had their own stories and recognizable characters. The IC and US are becoming forgotten too. I think this is one of the major faults of current WWE, they concentrate too much on upper card now and its usually the same people against each other over and over. Its probably better if they just get rid of the brand split exclusively...

 

[JBK2008]

I kinda do hope the titles unify. At least the tag and womens. Yes unify the the heavyweight titles but idk about the us and ic yet. i'd like 5 instead of 4 titles but who knows. we'll see how this all plays out.

 

[EZ123]

I think unifying the women's and tag titles is a smart. Letting the women's and tag champion travel to all 3 brands would give them the chance to feud with all contenders plus let each show keep tag teams, and women on them. I also think leaving the US and IC title as different championships gives more younger guys the chance to hold gold. If they do unify all the gold tho I wouldn't mind. there would be less title matches littering pay per view cards and it would allow more people to show there faces on them and GET PAID! In my opinion Less is more and makes things more exciting. Plus there would be more contenders if all the champions floated from brand to brand! I think it would set up more scenarios for feuds and give more people the chance to shine.

 

[Andy Awesome]

I hope this is a sign to stop the brands and just combine the 3 rosters and finally have the old WWE back. I loved the fact that you would have new matches every time you turn in to Raw or Smackdown when there were no brands. But, when they did have the brands, it was good at first but it got old. You saw the same matches, same champions, no new fueds and no new drama. All you saw was John Cena being Raw Champion for like a year and a half. You saw Edge face Batista for 4 straight months and I have to say, That was so boring seening Batista face Edge over and over and over. So, with the Tag Team Belts being Unify is just the beginning so I can't wait to see The US/IC, the ECW/WWE/World Heavyweight, and the Diva's/Women's titles to be next. I really want to the brands to stop.

 

[bunnyman1985]

they shud unify the womens titles an just have the wwe womens championship instead so u can have endless amount of different matches instead of seein beth/melina an maryse/michelle matches week in week out when we could see like melina/michelle mickie/natayla etc etc.

an also they shud unify the tag titles as basically at the moment i only really see 4 tag teams miz/morrison an primo/carlito an cryme time(occassionally) an priceless but there in the orton/hhh fued
an jesse an festus but they havent been used in ages.
if they do unify the tag titles then maybe they should get tag teams back together or rehire them (team 3d /new age outlaws/ godfather/val venus) etc etc an get like the hardys an edge an christian back aswel but like dont make them as a proper tag team keep them as single stars aswel like when cena an hbk were tag champs cena was wwe champ so it can work
