I don't think the design of the championship ever did grow on people.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that design was generally hated from day one, up until the title was retired. |

Fucking terrible name. Not even 10 year olds think that's a cool name.
RAW Heavyweight Championship would have been just fine. Yes, it suggests the title is lesser than the WWE World Heavyweight championship - it should! It was just invented! It doesn't have any history or prestige! So, it's fitting. Whatever. Maybe they'll change it later on when they realize people absolutely hate it. |

I don't even love the name. But it seriously doesn't matter. Not even a little bit.

I feel like Universal Championship is better than plain old Raw Championship that a lot of people seem to be in favor of.

If Stardust came up with that name, it would've made sense.

How does it not make sense though? WWE Universe = WWE Universal Championship. It may be kind of silly but it makes sense.

Making sense and pro wrestling don't go hand in hand. If that were the case, Big Show would be champ for 15 years because it wouldn't make sense for anyone to be able to really beat a guy that size.

Used the term generically. You should know what I meant. Got the point across. Nitpicky bastard.
SUPERIMPOSED, then. They glued pictures of Flair's face over pictures of Macho Man with Liz... and we went along with the ride that Mach didn't remember being in those places with her to know those doctor'd pics weren't legit. |

... and I still think the other RAW titles should just follow the "Universal" trend. It would be less ugly if they were a matching set, as it were.
Rebrand them all, except maybe the U.S. "Universal States" is just plain dumb. |

I agree. Universal Championship should be with the Universal Tag Team Championships and Universal Women's Championship. While Smackdown has all World Championships.

The tag titles need a redesign so it wouldn't be hard to rebrand them as WWE Universal Tag Team Championships but the Women's Championship would be tough to change after just being created this year.

I'm not. Good is subjective, and I have stated my opinion numerous times in this very thread. If I say it's good and you say it's not...nothing changes at all.

I'm pretty sure you're in a large monority. Most feel its pretty bad. And that is a wholey seperate topic than the quality of the matches that will take place for it. In most cases I'd think if people were vocal enough about their dislike it would get changed to something less meh but seeing as its the WWE they will champion this bad idea like its the Word of God until we get exhausted from bitching and stop. This is the cycle. |

What's so bad about it, though? WWE Universe. Universal Championship. Seems to make sense to me. I even dug Daniel Bryan poking fun at it as Raw trying to one up SmackDown. Total kayfabe Stephanie McMahon move. They never claimed it was to represent outer space and beyond. That's just marks being nerds. It's not that dire.

Sounds like a lot of people here are upset about more than how it sounds in the ear. Talking about not watching anymore or SmackDown looking inferior because of it. I reiterate...it's really not that dire.

Meh. The name won't matter in 5 years when they unify it with the other title.
Or in 10 years when they split that unified title and name the second one something else again. ... Or in 15 years when they unify THOSE two titles... |

I get the point that it's much ado about nothing. It is. I also get that new things sound bad. Seth Rollins sounded dumb as fuck at first since Tyler Black sounded cool and we "knew" him. I get it.
It'll always make the eyes roll for the majority of people who aren't 5-11 year old Cena fans. That's all. An eye roll. Then most will go "whatever, fuck it, on with Raw." There will always be an eye roll though, and during that moment the viewer will have removed themselves from the show. Everytime it's said. |

I dunno, man. I was reading the Raw thread when they announced the title, and people were for real flipping the fuck out. Also, this thread.

No one is flipping out. Not that I know of. It's just one large groan or thousands of people face-palming you're hearing everytime it's said.

I mean, I'm sure a fat guy somewhere made a video of himself "flipping out" but that's not 99.9% of the people.

Nah man. They are flipping out. You may not see it, but it's happening.
Besides, I'm just responding to a thread. I definitely didn't start it. |

Everyone who thinks names don't matter should change their name to "Asshole Candywipes" and go for a job interview. People respond to the wording of things. I agree that it's not the end of the world, but for fuck's sake, to say that names don't matter? Why do you think Red Bull isn't named "Green Pussy?"
More so than anything, "You-nee-vers-al" Title just sounds cheesy, and frankly, unappealing. That is the point people here seem to be trying to make. That "universal" carries connotations of the universe is a valid point to make, just like pointing out that calling someone the "World Champion of Europe" might sound fucking stupid and annoying. |

Mick Foley should have come out and said that because he was Mankind, he's creating a title for all of mankind -- the WWE HUMANITY CHAMPIONSHIP!
