Am I the only one who would mark out if Paul London (or someone) came out with the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship and the Cruiserweights all proclaimed to be Light Heavyweights, and chose to compete for the LHC.

Gregory Helms gets pissed off at this, as his title is kind of redundant without challengers, so he challenges Paul London (or whoever is Light Heavyweight Champion) to a Unifcation Match at WrestleMania. They can make a big deal out of how the Light Heavyweight Title was never unified with the Cruiserweight Title (I think X-Pac just retired with it).

It wouldn't matter who wins at WrestleMania, it just adds a story to the match, and the CW Title might get some more credibility. The WWE Cruiserweight Championship can then include all former Light Heavyweight Champions as Cruiserweight Champions. Sometimes title unifications can get messy, such as the US/IC Title unification in November 2001. It would have been so nice to see all IC Champions and US Champions referred to as common title holders, but a new name would have been needed for the belt, etc., so the US Title was just dropped. The Cruiserweight Championship seems to describe its title holders, rather than just be a noun they can possess. I think it would be easier to pass Dean Malenko off as as a four-time "Cruiserweight Champion" than as a former "Intercontinental Champion" because he once won the US Title.
