On last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Triple H, in a full-circle moment, reintroduced the previously defunct “World Heavyweight Championship” in its new incarnation. The championship belt’s roots can be traced to the very first World Championship in professional wrestling history.
On the latest edition of Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry and Bully Ray shared their insights on the new World Heavyweight Championship, stressing the importance of the title being defended frequently.
Mark Henry said, “It just brought back fond memories and I’m glad to see it back. I don’t want it to become an incarnation of the 24/7 title. If you challenge for that belt, I want it to be defended. You can make it a TV spectacle. Every week we could have a championship entrance, a championship match. It would be awesome.”
Bully Ray added, “I do believe that whoever becomes this new world champion, needs to defend this championship all the time. A true iron horse, a true work horse, a throwback to the world champions of the past. I’ll just say Ric Flair, for lack of a better example right now, who would defend the championship seven days a week and twice on Sundays, as those old school guys used to say.”
