I would like to see guys who WWE have already deamed World Title worthy get more then one go with the belt. Guys like Benoit, JBL, Mysterio, Orton, Edge, Batista...instead of giving them one run and hanging them up for the rest of time...why not give them a second, thrid, maybe even a fourth run before we start handing out new "Former World Champion" cards to everyone else. Too many guys have held the World Titles, I and realise it is doubly difficult now because of the Brand Extension so we have two of them floating around, but not everyone who is a credible Upper-Mid Carder needs to get the belt. I think in order to be a World Champion you should have solid mic and in ring skills...a few exceptions to be made...no one will ever call The Rock a great inside of the ropes, but he deserved the World Title, equally so, Chris Benoit isn't going to floor too many people with a promo, but he deserves it. I don't think someone like Shelton should hold the belt until his mic work inproves, when Orton held the World Title his in ring work was still too sloppy, Batista's mic skills imprpved (by some act of god) but when he won the belt, he couldn't cut a promo to save his life. Would it have killed them to maybe have Batista focus on mic work until SummerSlam til they gave him the belt? No, but they jumped the gun...and it lowers the bar to be a World Champion.

I think that's the biggest problem with the WWE Main Event picture, instead of the next guys to come along being better then the ones before them, they lower the bar just a little to allow this guy to be World Champ, then the next guy comes along and they lower the bar just a little more, until we end up with a migit mexican who can't cut a promo, is more or less a living punching bag, pulls meaningless flippy moves out of his ass and who's only marketable quality is riding the coatails of his friend's death winning the Title in a Mania Main Event. Where do we go from here? Hell whenever Funaki wrestles he gets a good pop, let's throw it on him.

The very least WWE could do, it take the guys they ALREADY made Champ, and continue to have them be Main Eventers...have them win the belts back. We don't need year long reigns, if you have two guys fueding for 4 or 5 months, you can have someone drop the belt in the first month, continue the fued for another 3 months, and then in the last month have him get his belt back...it keeps the belt moving, it doesn't get stale, and we don't end up with a new flavor of the year coming along and becoming the next "Former World Champ" in an already crowded pool.
