Anyone kind of missing The European Championship ? A recent thread mentioning The British Bulldog and the Hall of Fame mention got me thinking about The European Championship. First held by The British Bulldog himself after winning it in a tournament.
Notable wrestlers have held the belt, including......
HBK
Triple H
Jeff Jarrett
Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho
Eddie Guerrero
Christian
Jeff Hardy
...and others.
I'd like to see the belt return to the WWE in it's original design. IMO the WWE wouldn't be muddled in belts and it could be used to elevate a lower card wrestler to more of a brighter light. Have it be the lesser of the other belts, kind of like before...not as important as the I.C or U.S title. Without a Hardcore Title...the WWE have a gap in championships and bringing back the European Championship would fill that gap.
Lana had teased awhile ago during Resev's reign when she showed a picture of The European Championship on her Twitter...or Facebook account making people think they were going to revert the U.S Title to the European Title.
Guy's flailing around the lower card , or being used to job out the higher up card wrestlers could benefit from the title. At least it would make some of these lower card matches seem like they had the slightest bit of importance to it.
R-Truth , Neville , Stardust , Wade Barrett , Damien Sandow , Axle , Slater , Alex Riley , Adam Rose , Fandango , Zack Ryder , The Miz , Big Show , Mark Henry ........
All those guys could be contenders for the title. Even grab guys from the tag team division to get title shots and you have a wide range of wrestlers who could compete for the European Championship Belt. Bring it back as it was introduced back in the day.....a multiple show tournament for the title. Slap the belt on a Heel R-Truth who's yapping about little Jimmy again...and then go from there. And if the thought of the belt being held by uninteresting wrestlers all the time doesn't work...bring in star power like Chris Jericho for two weeks and have him hold the title until a PPV and lose to a Wade Barrett or somebody.
