WWE: Do they need more titles?

[beatfighter3000]

I don't particularly know myself. I've noticed there is a lot of good talent in this company that aren't being given their fair share of the spotlight. So I asked myself, would the WWE benefit from having more titles, to allow lower rated superstars a chance to show what they're worth? or could this be done with the titles we currently have?

What do you think?

[PandaMassacre]

I would not say that they need more titles. They just need one title; That would either be the cruiserweight championship or the lightweight championship for the smaller guys. IMHO though they turned the United States an Intercontinental Championships into those type of championships.

[Tomsta666]

I think 6 is more than enough :P

[SESAfro]

It feels like more is needed because there is such a small amount of people being used in rivalries and such. We wouldn't feel that way if that if they didn't feel like rocks in the background.

I would not mind there being another belt for guys like Chris Masters. I think those guys are being underutilized an they should at least be awarded in some capacity for their efforts to entertain the crowd before the main show starts. Those guys are also raking in viewers for Superstars.

[tad locust]

There doesn't need to be more championship's,The low rated wrestlers just need more TV time.

Yeah. Like European title-esk. But, they aren't really being used so we wonder what's happening with them. If they have a small fued it wouldn't be that obvious.

[PandaMassacre]

This is true. I think they should put more storylines into Superstars or they should at least try to create a 3rd (Smackdown or Raw) valued show for those guys.

[PandaMassacre]

Yeah. Like European title-esk. But, they aren't really being used so we wonder what's happening with them. If they have a small fued it wouldn't be that obvious.

I completely forgot about the European championship! Not to be a nationality label'er or anything but I think they should create a championship kind of like that belt an give it to Wade Barret. The guy was screwed out of numerous championship opportunities, and the guy went from being the hottest talent in WWE to delivering wastelands to indy talents in dark matches.

[S.E. Zero]

Why is it the TV Championship is never considered as a belt that can be introduced into the WWE?

Its a good title that's not biased to weight (cruiserweight) or nationality (european) plus it gets defended often on TV, ECW had one and since they own ECW its a perfect gateway to bring a defunct championship back to life.

It could be defended on Superstars among those low level talents and brought to big shows every few months and shared among all the Superstars among Raw, Smackdown and Superstars so everyone at least have a chance to be champion while they are in the WWE.

Guys like Reks, Bourne or Masters could finally get some gold, I dont know about you guys but this championship to me makes the most sense to bring back.

[pgarcia79]

I honestly think they should drop the US title and bring back the cruiserweight belt. The wwe should create a 3rd show? They already have one, it's call Superstars... as sucky as it is. My idea would be to create a Superstars World Championship Belt, or make the Intercontinental belt the top belt of that show. Find a decent tv slot for it, then give the show it's own dedicated roster like raw and smackdown. Oh, and make room for the Internet Championship belt some where in there. Woo Woo Woo!

[JLeeDude1892]

RAW
WWE Championship: Heavyweights.
United States Championship: Lesser Heavyweights, but potential Heavyweights.

Smackdown!
World Heavyweight Champion: Heavyweights
Intercontinental Championship: Lesser Heavyweights, but potential Heavyweights.

Dual Belts
Tag Team Championships: Tag Teams
Divas Championship: Divas

The only belt that the WWE needs is the return of the Cruiserweight Championship Belt. Guys like Trent Barreta, Tyson Kid, Yoshi Tatsu, Evan Bourne(Who is actually US or IC Title capable), Heath Slater, Primo and Sin Cara would have great matches with each other and the belt would mean something because they are all wrestlers and do it for the wrestling. That's what I believe at least. Cruiserweight needs to be brought back.

[zrdt12]

They have too many titles because they don't even use the ones they have properly. With the way things are going, they could make IC title open to both shows and drop US title to superstars or something.

[sincara]

cruiser weight title NEEDS to be brought back
the internet championship needs to be used

[PHENOMINAL ENIGMA]

I think 6 is more than enough :P

but for 5 years they used 8 titles well

[PHENOMINAL ENIGMA]

Maybe since its an internet show make that the world TV title & defend it every week

[FLWWEFan]

No they don't need more titles, they just need to know how to utlitize the talent in which they have. The only title that really needs to be thought about bringing back is the cruiserweight title. And even that has it's pros and cons.

[tshizzy34]

I would like to see either the Cruiserweight belt come back or like said before introduce the tv title belt, but nothing besides that.

[blackout version 1]

i want the cruiserweight title back wrestlers in the WWE are getting smaller so why not ...

[Enforcer23]

no they dont need more titles i think they really need to know how to use the titles they have got

[masakaritko]

my opinion on this matter? they need to unify the brands. Why should there be 2 world champs? Unify the WWE title and the World heavyweight title. My reason is this... Being the heavyweight champ is supposed to signify that you are THE top guy in the company. With world titles there is no longer a TOP guy. The US title and the Intercontinental should also be unified to be just the intercontinental title. Next bring back the cruiserweight title. If need be bring back the hardcore title. Each title should signify something different instead of having a bunch of titles that aren't really different from one another. The championships should be as follows....
1. WWE World Heavyweight Title- whoever holds this title shall be considered the best in the company during the time he carries it. These are the Main event caliber matches. Only the best compete for it.
2. Intercontinental Title- Those who are considered the future of the company shall compete for this title. Winning the title can carry someone to new heights, maybe even catapult someone into the main event scene to compete for the wwe world title.
3. Cruiserweight Title- The top title for the small guys. Being the holder of this title signifies that you are the best in the company of your weight class. Most people who are smaller and weigh less don't have a very good chance of even being considered for a WWE World Title run, so even giving them the intercontinental would be pointless since that signifies that they are on their way to the World Title. The Cruiserweight signifies that you are the best smaller guy in the world. Only people who weigh less that 220 lbs. can compete.
4.Tag Team Championship- Nuff said. Maybe actually develop a real tag division using all these other superstars that wouldn't get much tv time otherwise. can only be defended or won in a TAG TEAM Match.
5. Diva's Championship-Signifies that you are the best female wrestler in the world. Nuff said
6. Possibly Hardcore Title- A title centering around a particular match type (hardcore of course) Just signifies that you are the best at beating people senseless with weapons.

In the PG era, this will NEVER happen. But I used to enjoy the days of the Hardcore title.

No they don't. They already have enough titles as it is. Maybe they can add one more title like the WWE Internet Championship but I don't see the point of more titles.

[Juvenile Junkie]

the US and IC titles lack the prestige and deep routed feuds that were around in the nineties.Having more titles is one thing,but they need creditability

Cruiserweight title would be a bad move for WWE,it would always look week and pathetic compared to the X-Division title

Just like how TNA looks weak and pathetic compared to the WWE. Honestly, WWE and TNA aren't even in competition with each other despite what some may think. WWE has the talent right now to pull off a pretty decent cruiserweight division with guys like Sin Cara, Evan Bourne, Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel, Yoshi Tatsu, etc...

To be fair, if TNA started going on the road and made changes to the creative department, they could take on WWE. Its not like TNA's company is all bad. They have awesome wrestlers but a change with creatives(fire Russo ;)) is needed.

They go on the road but it's to crappy venues and they cannot draw a crowd, hell they do free tapings in Orlando where I live and I still don't go to that crap. They have no idea how to run a company, bringing in guys like Hogan, Russo, Bischoff was a bad move and a move that really set them back. Yes they have some talented wrestlers but you know what a lot of them are really misused. WWE misuses a lot of wrestlers too but TNA is totally different. And their angles and storylines are hideous as well.

[FLWWEFan]

yes, it did suck but you got newer talent now, not the same talent that it was years ago. the talent they have now as far as cruiserweights go is way better then what they had 4-5 years ago.

[wrestlingfan66513]

They need to copy TNAs Xplosion title concept for superstars. It would be a great way to push these guys up but give them a shot a shot at the US or I.C title instead of the WWE or World title to give them a better chance.

more titles!?!? are you serious bro?
they cant even write for the IC, US and tag titles.
so why in the world would they make more titles!?
the only way that would work would be if the writing could get better.
the IC title used to mean SO much in the WWF/WWE.
and now look at it.

This says it all, I'm jus sayin...

[ed is dead]

to be honest, that's a terrible idea. it would only make other titles even less prestigious than they are. seriously, like some have noted, the intercontinental title used to mean something, now it's just a prop. chris benoit, kurt angle, chris jericho, eddie guerrero and rob van dam used to have amazing matches and storylines for the intercontinental title. now they just hastily throw in a feud a week before a payperview. the midcard has so much talent but no engaging storylines, they should put back the prestige in both the intecontinental and us titles by having wrestlers actually have a feud over it and not some random match booked a week before a payperview.

Did rowdy roddy need a title yo get over? No, he had good feuds, which is what is missing.

[beatfighter3000]

hahaha whoaa thanks guys for your comments, keep 'em rolling in, by far the most views and replies for one of my threads :P
After heavily reading through the comments, Ive seen a wide margin
There are people who wouldnt mind having the titles we had at around year 2002, but there are some who completely believe more titles is flawed.
Maybe there could be a balance. Picture it, Better storylines for these wrestlers, with the addition of more belts, adding prestige, and bring back some of the history of those titles?
Or simply promoting these titles a whole lot better [the current titles]

[SESAfro]

Did rowdy roddy need a title yo get over? No, he had good feuds, which is what is missing.
That's what I'm saying. We wouldn't feel the need for more titles if they gave everyone something to do and at the same time it could add prestige to the title if the rivalries meant something.

[FLWWEFan]

Piper was over because he could talk on the mic, and well as the get the crowd excited. Some of these guys especially cruiserweights are not great on the mic.

[VanHooliganX]

They don't need more titles. Maybe giving the tag titles to an actual tag team would be a better idea.

If they really were going to be bringing a new championship title, it should be either Hardcore(Yeah right!), European or Cruiserweight title back and let the low carder be fighting for something!

[HCollins-TNA1]

Thinking they need one or two titles... bring back the Light weight or Crusierweight title... have it defended across every brand... Promote Zack Ryder's Internet Title to TV have it defended on every show each show can be seen on WWE.com or youtube or other sites...
Then Unify the World Title and WWE Title....

[Mr. McMahon]

id say get rid of that useless diva's title and disband the crappy diva division, release all of them.

Here's what it should be like:
- WWE World Heavyweight Championship
- WWE World Tag Team Championship
- WWE Cruiserweight Championship
- WWE Intercontinental Championship
- WWE Television Championship

That way they have one ECW title (TV), one WCW title (Cruiserweight) and the rest WWE titles. The US title would be unified with the IC title, and the WWE/World titles would be unified. Brand extension would be split, not that it matters cause you have stars appearing on all shows anyways. Superstars would be moved to be a saturday/sunday show

Hey man who does it feel to have been fired by your son-in-law? LOL

I kid, but come on, I know that these diva's are relatively boring and are mainly eye candy, but like Melina said, We need to give them a chance, I'm pretty sure they're much more athletic than we think. 60 seconds isnt enough to broadcast your in-ring ability, at least a 5-10 minute match, with them being able to show off their fancy moves would prove us all wrong.

Though the television title and the [unified] Intercontinental belt, meh, I don't really know what the difference between them would be. I mean would it have a similar relationship like the European and Intercontinental championship back in the day?
But other than That I totally agree with everything you just said

[Robareid]

Before they have more titles they need more shows and TV time. Think about it, one PPV for basically two companies (I know they are the same but they still have twice as many uppercard matches). I would say bring back Heat and Velocity and have them as mid card and tag team shows for the respective brands and leave superstars for the lower card between two brands. Then you could think about more titles. Also, I think all PPVs should be given an extra hour, allowing for a tag team bout and mid card bouts every month. Maybe that first hour being on free for all. But i'm just wishing (though could happen if they get their own WWE channel)

They have enough shows and programs... 6 or so hours on a week.....
the PPV companies would agree for an extra no less the WWE could n't build a 4 hour PPV, no less they have trouble building 3 hour PPVs....
Like i said unify the World and WWE titles...
Bring back the Crusierweight title and make the Internet title a legit title...

[Robareid]

They need more tv time to allow mid card and tag team feuds. An extra hour could easily be made by wwe, one tag match, and a mid card match from both brands. That alongside the filler between matches they always have. I just feel that the mid card doesn't get enough tv time and neither does the tag division. An extra hour on the ppv, maybe free for all, could be used as a payoff to mid card fueds. Think about it, when was the last time the tag titles were defended on a ppv. I think it was big show and Kane vs. Punk and Ryan.

Unify the WWE and World Heavyweight Titles
Have Christian and Punk feud, and Punk points out that the World Heavyweight Championship is nothing more than a "paper championship that was made up and handed to HHH in 2002." Punk has already called the title "imaginary" in his initial promo. Christian and Punk have a match and the winner becomes the new WWE Champion while the "made up" World Title is retired.

Intercontinental Championship:
The Intercontinental Championship should be THE title for the upper midcarders, and it should also be cross branded.

United States Championship:
The United States Championship should be for the lower midcard guys, and cross branded.

Bring back the Cruiserweight Title
But don't make it exclusive to the high flyers or undercard guys. In fact, I would have the Cruiserweight Championship be awarded to someone like Zack Ryder, a non-high flyer who is bigger, but is still under the title's weight limit. Let people under the weight limit from all levels of the card compete for the title. We can have some of the bigger names like Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes or John Morrison holding the belt as well. The Cruiserweight title would be cross branded, but the matches would take place primarily on SmackDown.

Bring back the Hardcore Championship
I would like to see the return of the Hardcore Championship, although without the 24/7 rule. Some may believe that the PG product would not be able to put on decent Hardcore matches, so I came up with an alternative idea.

I just realized something

The Hardcore Title was won by Rob Van Dam before it was retired. The first WWECW Champion was also RVD. Therefore, I would create a new championship, the WWE Extreme Championship, which would have the lineage of both the Hardcore Title (to associate it with names like Mick Foley, Al Snow, The Big Bossman, etc.) and the WWECW Championship (but excluding the history of the original ECW World Championship). The Extreme Championship's design would be based on the most recent ECW Title design, although it would be smaller and made of gold.

The concept of the WWE Extreme Title would not be focused on "hardcore wrestling" per se, but the idea would be that the title could only be contested in gimmick/stipulation matches, such as a Cage Match, Table Match, Ladder Match, Belt-On-A-Pole match, etc. The title could even be contested in a simple Falls Count Anywhere match, where the competitors could in theory brawl throughout the arena, without necessarily having to use weapons. The title would be cross branded but the matches would mostly take place on RAW.

THAT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA!!!!!!! That is just creative thinking, I always thought something like that, but your idea is better. I never thought of the extreme championship title, having guys like Ryder and Morrison compete for the Cruiserweight. Tag Titles are fine the way they are they just need some real teams. It seems like every good team, they break up to have a rivalry, instead of raising the competition in the tag division.

[MrzigglesFTW!]

Im back from a 1-2 month absence and my first question from being back is.. does WWE need more titles? i mean look at all the good talents not being used properly.. so many talents are jobbing because the writers have nothing for them? i say bring the hardcore and cruiserweight title back, that would already balance the talents use out a bit.

thought on this:)?

I think they should just trim the roster. If they are just going to continue to let guys bounce from show to show like 2001ish then trim the roster because its taking tv time from guys. I think the main factor from this was interbrand PPVs thanks to UFC so they need to build fueds quicker but if you have interbrand PPVs then have an interbrand roster.

Another arguement would be, why more titles when former prestigious titles (IC & US) aren't treated like anything but a belt to hold up your pants these days. Now it gets passed around like its nothing like they are Kelly Kelly & Melina.

Only title i'd agree to bring back is the cruiserweight belt because it would give Kofi, Bourne & a lot of other guys a chance to be more than jobbers to big muscle heads. I don't even know why small guys sign to a company that have no title for small guys.

My dream though would be a trimmed down roster & put the IC & US belts on guys like Miz, Del Rio, Christian, R-Truth, Kane, Sheamus, Wade Barrett. The guys who are almost to the World Title scene but no quite there (I know some guys I listed have already held world titles, but you get my point)

If they can do that successfully, then bring in some more titles. TV title for Superstars would be nice so people wouldn't look at it as a show for the suck faces.

^^^This^^^ I would also like to see a Divas Tag Championship, to give the divas more air time also.

Nah...honestly maybe if many of the Divas were actually decent wrestlers but a lot of them really stink. As far as looking at them, that's a different story...lol.

they cant even keep prestige on the titles they have, so no

Unify the WWE and World Heavyweight Titles
Have Christian and Punk feud, and Punk points out that the World Heavyweight Championship is nothing more than a "paper championship that was made up and handed to HHH in 2002." Punk has already called the title "imaginary" in his initial promo. Christian and Punk have a match and the winner becomes the new WWE Champion while the "made up" World Title is retired.

Intercontinental Championship:
The Intercontinental Championship should be THE title for the upper midcarders, and it should also be cross branded.

United States Championship:
The United States Championship should be for the lower midcard guys, and cross branded.

Bring back the Cruiserweight Title
But don't make it exclusive to the high flyers or undercard guys. In fact, I would have the Cruiserweight Championship be awarded to someone like Zack Ryder, a non-high flyer who is bigger, but is still under the title's weight limit. Let people under the weight limit from all levels of the card compete for the title. We can have some of the bigger names like Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes or John Morrison holding the belt as well. The Cruiserweight title would be cross branded, but the matches would take place primarily on SmackDown.

Bring back the Hardcore Championship
I would like to see the return of the Hardcore Championship, although without the 24/7 rule. Some may believe that the PG product would not be able to put on decent Hardcore matches, so I came up with an alternative idea.

I just realized something

The Hardcore Title was won by Rob Van Dam before it was retired. The first WWECW Champion was also RVD. Therefore, I would create a new championship, the WWE Extreme Championship, which would have the lineage of both the Hardcore Title (to associate it with names like Mick Foley, Al Snow, The Big Bossman, etc.) and the WWECW Championship (but excluding the history of the original ECW World Championship). The Extreme Championship's design would be based on the most recent ECW Title design, although it would be smaller and made of gold.

The concept of the WWE Extreme Title would not be focused on "hardcore wrestling" per se, but the idea would be that the title could only be contested in gimmick/stipulation matches, such as a Cage Match, Table Match, Ladder Match, Belt-On-A-Pole match, etc. The title could even be contested in a simple Falls Count Anywhere match, where the competitors could in theory brawl throughout the arena, without necessarily having to use weapons. The title would be cross branded but the matches would mostly take place on RAW.

Probably the best idea on here??? in my opinion..

[Sully]

They're fine with the amount of titles they have, a matter of fact, I think it's perfect. If anything, they could bring back the cruiser weight title or something, maybe the hardcore title, but they really do not need any more full time titles.

As for the world titles being unified? Hell no. You people complain that guys like Rey Mysterio or Wade Barrett don't get enough title shots, well they'd get even less if the belts were unified. There is no way in hell they should be unified, that would make everything ten times worse.

Probably the best idea on here??? in my opinion..

Well apart from the Europeon title would suit the era more or maybe just call i the TV title or sumthing

[beatfighter3000]

So it seems a vast majority want the cruiserweight title back :D
