I've never been one of the people to suggest that merging the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship is a good idea however, lately I've started to feel as though, it could work. Initially I allowed thing such as wrestlers losing their jobs or being relegated and demoted to hold me back but, recently I've decided that there could be a place for title unification.
Now, to achieve the unification in the first place some of the jobbers would have to go down to NXT and a lot of guys would have to be place into stables and tag-teams and other roles that get them out of the singles picture. Then you would have to create the situation where the two top guys would hold both championships. (Seems obvious/simple enough...)
Unified top tier titles essentially means that the Intercontinental and United States title would be held by guys like Alberto Del Rio and Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler. Guys that at the moment are one step from being the world champion (again in the case of ADR and Ziggler) but, aren't quite the main eventers. This would overall improve the product but, would push guys down like Antonio Cesaro and Kofi Kingston. But, I'm only using these names as examples, I know some of these guys could flourish or sink very low etc my point is, is that with a smaller world title picture everyone gets pushed down and rivalries have to have more people in them and the tag team picture and mid card picture has to be full. The world title picture would need more triple threat and fatal four way matches. (If you remember the attitude era there was actually, quite a lot of them and quite frankly, I have no idea how anyone would dislike a match where anything can happen but, that's just me.)
The thing that actually brought me to the conclusion that the titles should be unified was the Ryback/Punk match which is headlining Hell in A Cell tonight. A lot of people are talking about how it is a lose/lose but, think of this: If Ryback beats Punk and begins feuding with someone like the Big Show or John Cena etc afterwards and Punk feuds with Ziggler, Punk can become the World Heavyweight Champion and then unify the titles in order to face the Rock as the Undisputed Champion. OR if you're the sort of guy who thinks more about the future, you could solidify Ryback as the next top guy by having him go into Survivor Series and beat Sheamus or Big Show or Ziggler (or whoever is on top at the time) and become the new Undisputed Champion. However, Punk would still have to take it from him to face the Rock. But, I digress.
My question is: Would you unify ANY of the titles in WWE (or split any/make any new ones.) and How would you do so?
ps. Sorry if this thread reads back poorly, I was doing other things whilst writing it and some of it has been switched around a little.
