WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship?

[OIL]

Not sure if this is the right place, but meh.

Easy question. Which title do you think is the biggest in wrestling?

For me, the WWE Championship. It's the biggest title in wrestling today. The top belt in the biggest company. It's the most prestigious, just look at the names that have held the belt, how long the belt has been around and the amazing fueds centred around that belt.

The WWE title has the prestige. The WHC has the presige too but the WWE doesnt recognize it's history. So im also going to ignore it's history. I'll just look at the list of champions since the WWE's version of the WHC was created.

World Heavyweight Champions since September 2nd 2002
Triple H (5 times)
Shawn Michaels
Goldberg
Chris Benoit
Randy Orton
Batista (4 times)
Rey Mysterio
Kurt Angle
Booker T
Undertaker (2 times)
Edge (3 times)
Great Khali
CM Punk
Chris Jericho (2 times)

WWE champions since Sepember 2nd 2002
Brock Lesnar (3 times)
The Bigshow
Kurt Angle (2 times)
John Bradshaw Layfield
Eddie Guerrero
Edge (2 times)
John Cena (3 times)
Randy Orton (2 times)
Rob Van Dam
Triple H (2 times)


Looking at that list both of the titles have had some bad champions. I've also noticed that the WWE title has had more long title reigns than the WHC. The WHC realy doesnt have any memorable WHC reigns during it's short history , But the WWE title does have some memoable title reigns (John Cena's year long reign , Randy Orton's six month reign , JBL's very very long reign) If you take all of that into account you should find that the WWE title is better than the World Heavyweight title.

WWE title hands down. If you included the pre WWE WHC history then you could have a different story.

 

[THE Madcap]

I would say WHC right now. Going purely on the history of the Big Gold Belt, the current feuds for both titles and how WWE still focus on RAW as the no1 show.

WWE, Triple H has made sure of that.

As champion this year he's beat Orton, Cena, Edge, Khali, Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Brian Kendrick & MVP.

With the WHC you've had Punk beat JBL & Snitzky, and not easily. Batista beat Jericho only to lose it a week or so later. And Jericho is only one step up from Punk.

Pretty much whichever brand Triple H is on, the more important the world title will be.

The WWE Championship also has more history.

It's the WWE Championship for me. More history and more memerable titles reigns.

WWE Title is better. It hasn't changed hands on Free TV since the Attitude era (RVD's loss I don't count). WHC changes hands often on free TV at least once a year it seems.

WWE Title changes = Pay
WHC changes = Giving it away for free

WWE Title > WHC

Why not?

Since Raw is supposed to be WWE's Flagship show and most watched show whatever belt is on that I consider the biggest.

WHC. The name says it.

WWE Title = best in WWE
WHC = best in the world

Easy choice.

WHC. The name says it.

WWE Title = best in WWE
WHC = best in the world

Easy choice.

Yet the WWE title has probably been defended in more countries.

 

[George Michael]

Why not?

Cause of the bust issue. If that hadn't happened he most likely would have lost it at SummerSlam.
Ok so maybe it does count.. but it shouldn't. They don't PLAN on changing the WWE title on Free TV was my point.

Actualy he was going to lose it at Saturday Nights Main Event. They even said on the broadcast that they was having SME early. Saturday Nights Mainevent is on tv that you can pick up with a coat hanger. That's definantly FREE.
