TV Title
I think that the Tag Team Title unification has been pretty successful. It allows for wrestlers to get a lot of exposure on both Raw and Smackdown.

The same could be done with the Intercontinental and US Titles but, I think a new Television Title would be a better idea. Attach the gimmick that the wrestler would have to defend his title on every Raw, Smackdown and Superstars episode.

Give it to a guy like R-Truth who you're never going to give a giant push but, who is incredibly over and you got yourself a People's champ situation.

Proposed TV Champs:
R-Truth
Bryan Danielson
Primo
Cody Rhodes
Evan Bourne
Zack Ryder
Yoshi

Give 'em 4-5 month reigns interupted by 3-4 week heel reigns with guys like Miz, Kozlov and Dolph to shake things up. Pretty straight-forward formula.

It's time to make TPWW MEAT again!

Unlike traditional grills which cook food from a single, direct heat source, the Pit Barrel® Cooker’s cylindrical shape and “Hook-and-Hang” method places the food in the center of the action, heating the meat from all sides at once, producing consistently great-tasting, perfectly cooked meat every time.

Also have some popcorn.

It would be great for a TV Title division but they are already flooded with championship belts. And half those championship lost credibility. If they wouldn't of added the US belt and the Divas belt I would of loved to see the TV and even the return of the cruisherweight title.

If there really are too many belts, the US and Intercontinental titles could be unified. They're open-weight belts after all (unlike the X-Cruiserweight Title in TNA)

I like the idea of a TV title. Personally I don't see it taking credibility from any other belts, and even if it does it isn't like WWE would really care if they could make a good story with it to entertain people. I mean shoot, the guest hosts take credibility away from wrestling all the time but still gets them viewers. I just don't know if a TV title would net them more viewers though since they can't come up with interesting stories about the lower belts for the most part anyways. I'd personally still like it though.

I disagree. WCW had alot of belts but they built decent storylines around them.

So I like a lot of belts.

They should bring back the Hardcore Title, Crusierweight title, European Titles and defend them on each program.

Everytime I think of the European Title, I think of Al Snow and Steven Regal brawling it out and the whole Censorship angle.

They don't even need real storylines. They could mimic RVD's title reign in ECW. He just wrestled all-comers and enjoyed his success. Not that difficult to pull off with a fan-favorite who knows how to wrestle.

I wouldn't mind seeing a unification b/w the US and the IC titles. Could you imagine WWE introducing a WWE Universe Championship instead of naming it the TV title? That would be random.

Here's how I would make room for the TV title in WWE...

Unify both World Heavyweight Championships and unify both Womens' Championships, like they did with the Tag Team Championships, and change their style of booking and hiring talent to really raise the value of the titles and introduce a TV title then.

I would like to see the US and IC titles unified. I just think it's stupid as hell to have so many belts that there isn't room on the card to defend them at major PPVs like the Rumble, but I'm suppposed to give a shit that someone's the champion.

Plus by adding a t.v. title you can give guys like Evan Bourne, Cody, Primo, Zack Ryder, and Kofi (when he's pissed Randy off and Randy wants to punish him), and Shelton when he returns (for the 11 month downtime between those MITB Wrestlemania matches) a chance to have exposure and establish themselves as more than enhancement talent to the fans.

I love the idea, but having a TV Title match on every show doesn't really work for me..... make the stip that they have to defend it on 2 out of 3 shows a week and I would be fine with it..... having a 2 minute match on Raw between Zack Ryder & Primo would most certainly seemed rushed, where as if they had say a 10-minute match on Superstars, it would be much more effective

I like this idea. Only change I'd make is keep it strictly Raw and SmackDown only. If you make the champ defend the belt on all three shows every week, they'd have to pull a doubleheader every Tuesday. That can definitely take its toll.

Match Specific Championships - Belts to determine who actually is the champion of the ladder match, Hell in a Cell, Inferno match, etc. One title is unified when when the General Manager schedules Buff Bagwell to meet Igor Warowitz in the Pole Championship match.

i agree with bringin back the tv title but it should only be defended twice a week varying between the 3 shows. it would give the lower and mid card wrestlers something to do instead of just bein seen standing backstage.

Plus by adding a t.v. title you can give guys like Evan Bourne, Cody, Primo, Zack Ryder, and Kofi (when he's pissed Randy off and Randy wants to punish him), and Shelton when he returns (for the 11 month downtime between those MITB Wrestlemania matches) a chance to have exposure and establish themselves as more than enhancement talent to the fans.
The IC and US title were unified at one point however since raw and smackdown are seperate brands they kinda had to seperate however if they do bring the TV title back then they might once again unify them

There are enough belts if they were to go that route they should simply unify the US and IC championships and sub it with this perhaps and have defended on both shows like you said.

No. The Texas Bullrope is different from the Brahma Bullrope. They're entirely different ropes. One is even a chain.

They had a title kind of like the one you're describing. It was called the ECW Title. And it didn't really work to build new stars.

A new TV Title could be cool, but probably for all of about 2 months before the creative team forgets about it and it loses all meaning. New titles are only effective if the superstars winning them are built up strong. Remember when Chris Benoit and Booker T had that best of 7 series over the TV Title back in WCW? That's how you build a division and build new stars. When's the last time we had a seriously good mid-card/lower-card feud that featured good matches? MVP/Matt? Umaga/Jeff? And even those guys were upper mid-carders.

I'm all about giving the lower card a bigger push and more prestige on the card, but I don't think a title is going to be the thing that makes this happen.

I've thought about something like this for a while. I can see so many benefits to the idea. I think I first started liking it when The Miz and John Morrison were showing up on whatever show they wanted to because of some situation they were in. I think it was because they were World Tag Team Champions on RAW while being part of ECW, but there was the talent exchange between ECW and SmackDown!? I can't really remember. But basically the idea was that they got so much exposure from it, and really earned their stripes.

Something like a TV Title would serve the exact same purpose. A guy who holds it gets to appear on both RAW and SmackDown! until he loses the title. I don't think credibility of the title would be a problem. I've never really bought that "too many championships ruin things." I think it depends how the titles are booked. For example, I think SmackDown! could introduce a tertiary title and still get away with it, because the IC Title is treated with respect and gets high placing, so there is that lower-card/mid-card availability there for guys like JTG, Shad Gaspard or even a Dolph Ziggler or Cody Rhodes.

A TV Title wouldn't really run into the problem of being treated like shit, because it would come built-in with the concept that it MUST be defended. That means the champion is always wrestling, and if they're a good worker, that will work. More so than the other titles, I think it would work as a belt closer to a "legitimate" sports title. Just because a guy who is TV Champion for a long time would have been defending the title twice a week, giving them a streak. The storylines don't really need to be deep, either. The booking is simple -- "I want to be TV Champion. Now I am TV Champion. See you more often as I keep my title."

I don't think it would place lowly compared to other titles, either. I think it would be in a world of its own. The exposure would almost be the point, and the WWE is only going to give that to someone they have faith in, or really want to get over. The perfect TV Champion, in my mind, is The Miz. It would suit him so perfectly. Then you would also get guys getting it so they could appear on both shows and help out. Chris Jericho, John Morrison, CM Punk (spreading the Straight-Edge message), R-Truth and Kofi Kingston come to mind. None of them is in a weak position. Evan Bourne could be the champion, and work longer matches on SmackDown! while still being the piece of advertisement they have him as on RAW, and even he would not make a bad champion.

But if they did this, they should absolutely keep the US and IC Titles separate, or else what is the point? Being TV Champion should be about getting that special priviledge to appear on both brands as a singles star. I also think that the title should only be defended on RAW and SmackDown!, though. Leave Superstars and NXT out of it. It'd also be great if PPV were included. It'd confirm a good opener for those events, at least.

this is an old dead topic, but i never understood what the distinction of a "television" title is. females compete for a women's championship, lighter guys compete for a cruiserweight championship, bigger guys for a heavyweight, no rules matches for the hardcore title... but what the hell does being champion of "tv" mean?

If it is true that the WWE is going to unify all their titles by Wrestlemania, then why not add a TV title. I mean it makes the most sense in that they won't always have title matches on TV but instead reserve them for the PPV making it that much more meaningful.

If they built the TV title as something as prestigious as the WWE title but only defended on TV then maybe it could be taken seriously, but if it's something like the Hardcore title then it doesn't mean shit. It's all how it's booked.

I liked the TV title because it gave certain wrestlers that you weren't of that they could hold a match at a PPV the chance prove themself.

The Intercontinental Title CAN'T disappear, that's all I know. I'm all for not having so many titles, but the IC can't disappear. Too much history. At one point, the feuds for the IC Title were hotter than those for the WWE Title.

I like the idea of having the IC title as cusp main event title where as the TV title is strictly a mid-card title.
