World Title is more interesting than WWE Title

**redbower** · 02-13-2013, 06:56 AM

Is it just me or is the World Title picture more interesting right now than the WWE title?

I am a Punk fan, not a Cena hater, and am ready for The Rock to return to Hollywood. Barring any type of unforeseen swerve, I am totally uninterested in this seeming three way rivalry for the gold. I believe the booking is rather vanilla and easily predictable through to WM. The potential for something happening beyond my deductive reasoning is there, but improbable, therefore my disinterest.

The World Title picture on the other hand is completely unpredictable. I like the direction that ADR, Swagger, Mark Henry,Show, and even Dolph Ziggler are headed. There are also potential for turns (Orton to heel, and Ziggler to face.)As of right now the EC is anyone's match to win. (Booking has so many options.) There are so many potential rivalries, for the gold and not for the gold, that could and should come out of EC. I don't know what WM matches will come from this, nor do I believe does the creative team at the E. There is potential to screw the pooch as always, but the super"stars" are alligning for the World Title picture to be much more interesting in the coming months.

Thoughts?

WWE title will always be the top of the heap in my opinion but i see what ur saying. I would like to see Ziggler pull a fast on on everyone and cash in on the WWE title as it seems alot of people think he is gunning for the WHC.

At the moment the WHC does hold more interest for me, although I'm not in tears over the WWE Title like the rest of the drive by IWC.

The EC match is shaping up to be a good contest, I've always enjoyed ADR, Swagger's new direction could be good and I'm always hopeful of another Jericho reign. I'm also enjoying the way they've continued with Mark Henry since his return as this is probably the most enjoyable his character has been since he arrived in the E.

So long as they keep the title off Big Show, I'm more than happy with it at the moment but the WWE Title will always be the Premier Belt in the WWE's eyes.

Right now if your not a huge fan of Rock, Cena, or Punk you'll probably find the World Heavyweight Title scenario more fun and interesting to watch. Unless there's a major swerve/surprise planned it's looking more and more like Cena will be walking out of Mania with the WWE Title and having a pretty decent run with the belt. The World Heavyweight title on the other hands has lots of potential right now especially with the returns of Mark Henry and Jack Swagger now in the picture at least until Elimination Chamber. Then of course you have Dolph with the briefcase lurking in the shadows. Plenty to be excited about for the time being at least which is good because it's not predictable what will happen.

I think they are both interesting. However, I find the World Heavyweight Championship to be way more appealing to the eyes. It looks like a legitimate Championship as opposed to the Championship belt that Punk and Rock have been carrying around. It just looks like one of those tricked out toys you would catch at the corner of your eye at the Mall with the funky shine and painted on artwork.

Yeah the wwe title has been long overdue for a new look. It kind of boggles my mind as to why they havn't changed the look. There are a lot of people who bring this topic up over the years till now about the toyish look of the wwe title.

That's probably what appeals to the younger fans who get their parents to fork out for a replica.

True...It's damn true.

I agree, the WHC is more interesting and unpredictable than the WWE championship right now

I apologize if this if frowned upon, but I'm reposting my OP I posted Monday night after Raw. I think it fits perfectly to the above quote. Here's how I thinks break down:

1. They've acknowledged Dolph isn't finished with Jericho. It's why he wanted in the EC tonight.
1A. Dolph lost to Kane. Therefore, Dolph won't get his hands on Y2J in the Chamber, so Mania is looking likely.
2.. Jack Swagger basically cut an anti-immigration, ultra pro-America promo. He's essentially Del Rio's polar opposite at this point.
2A. So they've introduced a storyline angle for Del Rio and Swagger, regardless of if the title is involved.
3. Jericho is officially in the Chamber.
4. Daniel Bryan and Kane are BOTH in the Chamber.

So here's how I think things logically play out heading to Mania.
1. How does Dolph get his hands on Jericho? Ziggler cashes in on Del Rio at EC. If the WHC is what Jericho wants, Ziggler will take the initiative to go get it.
2. With Del Rio out of the title picture, he's got a very game opponent with Swagger - storyline is already shaping up. I can see Ricardo and that bearded Vet dude going at it already.
3. Jericho wins the Chamber.
4. Bryan and Kane fight in the Chamber, one screws over the other, they fight at Mania.

If my theories hold true, the Mania picture for the guys currently involved in the WHC picture at EC would look as follows:
Ziggler (c) vs Y2J
Del Rio vs Swagger
Bryan vs Kane
Big Show vs ______
Mark Henry vs Orton

All of this said, I could be completely wrong. Thoughts?
