Of sorts anyway. The title is worthless. The sad thing is that the title was more important around Bobby Lashley and McMahon is probably the best champion it's seen. It's pretty sad but those are the fact. So why not just have the title as a wrestling title? Punk is the champion, and not a very credible one at that. But he's an excellent wrestler, despite what a lot of people say. And ECW also has some of WWE's best wrestlers, especially with them sharing Smackdown talent. So waht I think would be a decent idea would be to have it as a title for pretty much all the underused, good talent. People might say that Carlito is underused. Yeah probably. But he sucks. I'm talking about all the lighter wrestlers and all the mid card wrestlers who cant get a look in.
It doesn't matter if these wrestlers never get the belt, or if they progress after their feud with the champ. The sole purpose would be to go out and have a great match. WWE have nothing to lose by putting Punk in a feud with Jamie Noble. If they go out and have a great match then the fans will eventually start to care about them. Nobody gives a shit about Charlie Haas, but if you gave him 15 on a PPV and let him have a match however he wanted then he would impress.
I also don't see the problem with allocating 15 minutes per PPV to these matches. I'm not saying the title is worth of being defended at Mania or Summer Slam. But on the 'B' shows there is always 15 minutes of filler. Why not fill it with something that might be good?
