New Title in E.C.W.??

[TheOneBigWill]

While this thread could be an off-shoot from another thread asking if the W.W.E. as a whole needs another Championship.. mine is based solely on E.C.W., and completely on one specific title idea.

It seems to me E.C.W. is forming a Male/Female Tag Team division. You have the Burchills, Gabriel & Fox, T.J. Wilson & Natalya, Ortiz & Tiffany, (it'll happen sooner or later) and finally Finlay & Hornswoggle (it counts). I'm believing a Tag Team intergender Championship will be debuting sooner than later.

If this isn't just coincidence on random Male/Female pairings, than E.C.W. is going to embark on something that I think is going to set them apart from the other two brands even more.. but the question is, would it be for the better or worse?

I can definately see this division giving random no-names, jobbers and unimportant people in general a division to thrive in. But overall, I don't know if it'd help anything, especially adding another useless Championship.

What are everyone's thoughts on this random occurance? Is it just coincidence that Males and Females are becoming more of an "in" thing on E.C.W. alone, or do you believe this could be building to a planned division, complete with a new Championship?

If this is a soon-to-be new division, what are your overall thoughts on it? Good or bad, explain why you feel what you do. Thank You.

No I dont think that there will be some kind of (mixed) tag team belt on the brand. I mean come one Vince thinks of this show only as a farm, so why should he put too much effort in it. Anyways even though the number of teams have increased I dont think they have anything to do with of all of these people wrestling in tag matches. All of these women are just valets of some sort. ECW is great as it is. No stupid gimmicks and only wrestling, they are creating and improving talent. I mean evne the frikking Boogeyman got his chance . The WWE is a creation that has people who are talented and need to grow. Putting some weird tag titles would mess all of that up, since ECW only has one hour of TV time. The brand is in the greatest position since it's revival. And somewhere deep inside I think Vince is happy about it's developement

I dont know about the new title, although it is an interesting point you bought up about all of the male/female teams coming about.

Maybe it's a throwback to the old days when a womens division was made up of valets so that you can get some diva matches on ECW and those that arent wrestling will at least be on TV with their respective wrestler. This way we could have Alicia vs Natalya one week and the next week they might not wrestle but will at least make an appearance.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

Yeah, I'm not sure if they will add another devision. I don't think it would be worth it, if they did make it i dont think it would survive on ECW. I just dont think ECW is big enough or long enough to have a whole other devision in it, but it is true that alot of male and female wrestlers are being paired up.

If they were going to add another title to ECW i think cruiserweight would be the best option, for guys like Bourne and Mysterio could move there. But thats a different topic my bad.

Overall they are pairing up guys and girls but i dont think it will end up being another devision with a championship, will have to wait and see though i guess.....

Oh Will, it was a neat idea when you first wrote it but really, I cannot see it happening. Those matches, intergendered that is, are mostly boring affairs that happen very little amount of the time. In he new WWE, if it does exist, they would never risk the chance of having a woman struck by a man. Now in these type of matches, you almost expect one instance of a man being involved with a woman in some way. I would say 50 percent of the matches have this. Now I know the rules of the match, men must wrestle men, and women must wrestle women, but this makes for slow matches if a hot tag is for the most part taken out.

If anything, they need to bring in my favourite title! The European championship. Although I wont reguratate my points behind it, I can see it being a great title on ECW.

They already have:
Finlay
DJ Gabriel
DH Smith
Paul Burchill
that are able to be used as europeanisque wrestlers.


All you need to do is draft:
Santino Marella
William Regal

and it seems like both of these two have a possibility to be drafted.

It would not be the best decision to add a mixed-gender tag team championship. If you think about it, WWE doesn't put much effort into the RAW and SD! tag team divisions, so why do that to the ECW one? Especially, a mixed-gender division. If WWE did try to create a championship like that, it wouldn't be successful and it would become de-funct pretty fast. As for, Burchill, Gabriel, and Wilson... I think they could be pretty successful on RAW, SD!, or ECW if pushed right, but Natalya, Fox, and Katie Lea have no purpose on ECW. Katie Lea and Alicia Fox would be wonderful additions to the Diva's division, while Natalya would really benefit from the Women's division. So, to close up... I feel that creating a new championship, especially one that's like that and doesn't have much potential to be entertaining. It could work, but I think it's best to leave things as it is.

 

[Spunky]

I dont think it is leading towards a intergender title, And I hope to god it doesnt, What ECW need's is a few fueds that last awhile, Without being overbearing. Like the Matt Hardy vsa MVP fued, It was a great fued without taking anything away from the main event scene. WWE need to take a leaf out of their own book Pre-atittude era, Where they would have great undercard fued's, As it's the fued's that build's stars. No one care's about people who dominate everyone before holding a title, Why? Because we have no emotional feeling's towards them, Nearly every "main event" star has that one fued that made them great, But WWE doesnt invest in these type of fueds like they used too.

Anyway, More to the topic, ECW doesnt need ANY kind of title, Nevermind tag title, As outside of the ECW title picture, There isnt anybody of real worth, And they arent worth anything because they have done nothing.

 

[klunderbunker]

While the concept for the title makes sense, I'm just still in the camp of there being too many belts in the company right now. Sure it would likely be exclusive to ECW for the most part, I don't want it going over to Raw for Kelly Kelly and her dick of the week to win it. There's way too many belts going on in WWE right now. Do we really want someone like Gaybriel getting gold that soon, or at all ever? Not in this lifetime at least.

 

[Khalifa]

If it does happen ( which I don't want it to happen) it will defently make ECW "unique". I am not really all for this concept, even it were a year thing i still wouldn't be rooting for it. I mean can you imagien how much these "tag titles" would get thrown around on ECW. The longest reign would be like 4 months and then it would get shifted to SD and Raw then ECW would never get it again. Sure there are alot of mixed tag teams on ECW which is exactly why they shouldn't get it. It's like having 5 tag teams on Raw or SD, it would get thrown around to much. Unless if there were a "stand out team" ( which I cant see from that list" I highly doubt these titles would mean much.

 

[h_G]

Personally I think it's more the fact ECW isn't really a long enough show to promote a women's division of its own, but it wouldn't be a WWE show if it had no divas on it. So as a compromise, you see more of them used as valets than as stand-alone divas.

 

[R@ted_RKO]

If any title should be added I Think that WWE should take ECW in a completely different direction than the other brands and resurrect the Hardcore championship. This would give ECW a different flaver than smackdown and raw. This may actually make me want to watch it on a regular basis. Right now there is no reason to watch ECW because it is nothing more than a less talented roster going through the same PG rated storylines as the other two shows. As long as the title was only won in hardcore fashion, not in regular matches. That is my feeling on the matter.

 

[Smart Mark]

A mixed tag belt would never work, but they should have had the e.c.w. tag belts reintroduced a long time ago, and with e.c.w. constantly getting new talent a good tag division is exactly what they need, not one that's mixed with another show. Also I think they should bring back the old E.C.W. title instead of this new one that looks like a plastic toy i can pick up at toys r us.

 

[truk24]

I think at this point it would be a nice idea to bring back the television title that has one particular difference between all other titles. This title should have the capacity to be defended on any show. It would be an ECW title, but as TV champion you have to be ready to defend the title on either TV show. That way it showcases the younger stars that may have some real upside to their careers. Stars like Swagger, Morrison, Miz, Benjamin etc.. This would make sense considering there are 3 shows.

 

[Deadman]

E.C.W. needs a true second tier title. My exmaple will be the cruisertitle. You have guys like Evan Borune, Miz,Tyson Kidd, Rickey Ortiz who would headline this divson and if you draft people like Rey, Regal, Kofi, and Jimmy Wang Yang you have a strong divson and a great additon to E.C.W.and make it a little better so it could one day be a two hour show.

 

[Kane666]

Until ECW gets some more talent on their roster creating another title would be pointless.Personally though i'd like to see the TV title brought back.It would be a good mid-card title for rookies to hold.And for veterans to give the title some credibility again.

 

[jmt225]

Ever since the show debuted I thought the brand should've been given the Cruiserweight Championship, and I still think that.

But right now I understand the logic not having a mid-card title. The show is nothing more then a show for new wrestlers to debut and see if they're worth using on Smackdown or Raw. A mid-card title around those guys’s waist wouldn't make a difference, in my opinion.

But if WWE ever wants to make the show truly better and have it really be a top brand, then yes a mid-card title, such as I said, the Cruiserweight Championship, will be needed. However, as long as it remains like OVW (only with a national TV slot and an hour to work with), a mid-card title is unnecessary.

 

[CCS]

I dont like the idea. ECW is only a hour long, they barely have enough time to get just one champion over. Their's no way that they have enough tv time to make another champion look credible. They need to focus on getting their world champion over with the crowd, not making some goofy sounding intergender titles.

 

[NSL]

I like the idea of an Intergender Tag Title, but I don't see the longevity in it. Sooner or later, all the current pairings will go their own ways, and forcing people together for the sake of a title is pretty pointless.

If they want ECW to be original, they need to give it a Hardcore Title. Have it defended under Extreme Rules only, and make sure that the people that win the title, are capable of putting on an extreme showing. That means, don't put Finlay v. Morrison for the Hardcore Title on a PPV.

It'd give the roster an added dimension, and would help to boost an already growing fan base.

 

[Rusty]

No, I don't see why the WWE would want yet another useless title. They don't even utilize a majority of their titles decently now, so why add another useless prop? About a year ago I thought there was a good posibility that the WWE could give ECW a mid-card title since guys like Stevie Richards, Tommy Dreamer and many others were doing nothing, but that was when the ECW Championship actually had some credibility. Now, it's purely a mid-card Championship. This intergender pairings seem to be nothing more than a coincidence.

There's nothing wrong with having the women on ECW as valets. It's not like Katie Lea or Alicia Fox have shown us a great deal in the ring anyway. But ECW should be focusing on their younger talents rather than some intergender tag teams. At the end of the day, what will this achieve? Sure it gives DJ Gabriel and Paul Birchill something to do, but their only goal on ECW should be to go for the ECW Championship. To get there, you obviously need to win matches against mid-carders such as Mark Henry and Finlay.

Tiffany doesn't wrestle, Ortiz is awful and Hornswoggle isn't technically a wrestler. TJ Wilson just debuted and still has to have his rounds of squashing jobbers. I just don't see why the WWE needs yet another title, and more so, I don't see how this will benefit the WWE in any way. It's not like people are going to tune in solely to watch a Intergender Tag Team Title match. So I hope this idea does not eventually occur and I think most will agree with me.

 

[colalella2891]

I think they should get some kind of new title on ECW, because having just one is pretty boring. Even though there aren't that much superstars on the ECW roster, but come on, they can use another title.. ANY kind... I don't know why they don't bring back the ECW TV title for midcarders like Evan Bourne...
