i think the one of the problems is the wwe championship looks like a child's play thing. with out the spinning it's slightly better but it doesn't look like a legitamate championship belt. the world heavyweight belt looks more legit but it's only an omage to the wcw belt.
Exactly. Its rediculous to have the WCW belt as a WWE championship.. I don't understand how if the Undisputed title was de unified one belt came out looking like the WCW title but the other didn't come out looking like the WWF title.. The WWE title belt is okay but it could be better. This whole rapper bling bling criticism isn't why im pushing for a new design, I'm just tired of it and when Cena's customozation of choice remains years and years after his innitial reign that makes implications..
for a promotion to have two top teir belts is good in theory but when your main event teir only has five established guys how can you split that in two and still have a decent championship picture. also having an omega teir filled with guys who "don't need the belt" is the type of thinking that lowers the value in itself. if anything guys like hhh and taker should be fighting for the belt and holding it for long periods of time until a guy's like punk ziggler or the miz can solidify themselves in the title picture.
if it comes down to everyone having a reign to their credit then the new boast will be "i had it for more days" or "i had it for more months".
Whats it matter if you have 5 guys deserving? You've already kinda complained about the belt being passed around too much, 5 guys split between two brands would prevent that, and from 1984-88 there was one champ, from 1978-84 it was a one man title picture, from 1963-71 and '71 to '73 it was likewise.. Its not like having one champion caliber wrestling or 2 or 3 is a bad thing or ever hurt any promotion..
The problem with Miz is you had to give him the belt to make him good enough to have the belt.. Without him growing with the belt he would have never had championship viability in the future to recapture it or anything else. Ziggler reminds me of what Mr. Perfect was probably like in his prime. Ziggler's WHC reign is a footnote in WWE like Hennig's AWA World title reign is a footnote on WWE.COM.. Its only use is when your debating with your fellow stat crunchers..
now i'm going to say something that will piss most everyone here off. CM punk is a glorified mid carder. what has he done aside from cut a pretty cool promo? now i'm not saying this is his fault. wwe has done it self a huge disservice by allowing cena to have ten (?) championship reigns while there was still some guys who where legit in the public eye.
I can tell too but what of it? His prime did not occur in an era that would had destroyed a guy like him so what of it? If he had rose thru the ranks 7 years prior he would be on slippery footing..
Who cares if he had ten? There are still ways to put inflated accolates back in perspect. You had ten, Morales had 1 and that equals about seven of Cena's in days count. Cena's ten arent like a Verne Gagne ten lol. By the time he has 20 reigns he still might not equal Sammartino's day/month count. As long as he doesnt try to throw that number up in Flair's face or Hogan's we simply ignore that ten count.
the youth movement has happened far too fast and there is no one still around to make these young guys stars. if the wwe were smart they would bring in guys like foley jericho taker hhh goldberg lesnar bret and who ever else they could that has some star power left and have them work programs for the next year and legitamize the young guys.
guys with history like big show and kane should not be mid carders. ok i know that show ran a program with henry and kane is fueding with cena but that didn't happen until just a few months ago. henry needs to reaffirm himself cuz he was doing a great job and could have helped bring up a new main event teir.
They do need to bring in semi-older guys. The issue is the fan base is so new that they don't know how to react to re-debuts. If Shamrock had came back to the WWF after his stint as NWA-TNA's top title holder that would had been a big deal. If he came back today and tried to get on SD no one would understand why he was there or who he is other then us. So we cant utilize the close calls of the past because the wrestler cant utilize his name recognition if those viewing his name dont recognize it. Thats compounded by the fact that the old guys you mentioned are either late 30s or so close to their thirties that they dont feel old enough to take on a sensei role because they still have enough energy to do it themselves and the young guy is still competition so they cant struggle with him and teach him at once. i mean that in the ring and behind the scenes..
I think Henry hurt himself so we shouldnt discuss his fall from the top like he was trippin or WWE was done repaying him for servise. He hurt himself, WWE didn't tell him to tair his groin, creative didn't, he sure as hell didn't do it on purpose, he doesnt mind staying active at his age and he can do it. Wait til hes healedand we will see if hes through..
The Big Show is a clown, he looks ******ed.. They should tel him to get in his WCW shape and adopt that attitude if they want to repair the damage which of course WWE (not WCW..) actually is responsible for.
With Kane they kept cutting him down to size as he reached the last step. If I did not have to witniss Trips strip him of his mask I would view him better. But I got over that after he attacked RVD and caught J.R. on fire, but then he couldn't get any more titles and was losing to guys like Mysterio and HHH. tHE wwf was lucky to be in a position to rehabilitate Kane's image after the stunts being concocted by creative featuring Kane getting his gf stolen and getting swirved on by his tag team partner(s).. That would not had been too bad had I not witnissed him about 2 years prior beating Austin for the WWF title in his prime and during the peak of the Attitude Era and the dominance he showed between 1997-9. The fans got what I will call "sea saw fatigue" and that eroded his credibility to a level that a maineventer can not survive on. so now the mainevent is closed off to him..
The issue also is Raw guys and SD guys were jumping brands too much. It became to easy to go in between brands. You know how hard it is to go between the AFC and NFC? If you got Raw guys on SD like its 1999 then the brand is viewed as a show and not a subsidiery promotion.. So then the respective titles are viewed as show titles. then the fact that the titles were switching brands hurt. The draft lottery should had been held ever 3 years and its majority purpose should had been to see what ECW brand guy was leaving for greener pastures. Rookies should had been the majority of people jumping ship every year. The WWE tag team titles should had stayed brand specific to prevent interbrand contact. Of course WWE reavhed a point were it promoted lopsided duos simultaniously so then they would need the unified tag team title to be interbrand so the lesser one could use that to jump ship and we not have to see them war over the same top belt. If they come up at the same time and one gets the edge it usually is a death blow to the "Jannetty"..
