No one sees the problem with this? I know there are a lot of people who deserve it, but there have always been a lot of people who deserve it who never got it. As unfair as it was, them not getting it continued to make the belt that much more treasured. When Benoit and Jericho would fued for the IC Title, with everyone (marks and smarts alike) knowing full well they could be World Champs, it not only made the World Title something everyone should always be driving for, but it made the undercard look credible. Too many former World Champs hanging around the midcard shockingly makes not only the World Titles look useless, but also deminishes interest in the undercard itself. Who cares if JBL or Benoit are US Champs, both are former World Champs, it's a step down for both of them, and because of that there is less interest. The only titles I think former World Champs should fight for (a few exceptions to be made) are the Tag Titles. I don't care what anyone says, I have no problem with Super Teams.

Good point. I think that this year the wwe have given the title to the last few wrestlers on the rooster that really derserve it (rey, edge) with RVD the only real last person that should have it.
I however do disagree about your point that former world champs feuding for the secondary title. It does kinda give it credibilty and more often than not former champs have better character and abilities that make them better candidates for the title than the rest of the rooster.
