However, when Flair came in, they never made his claim to champion legit, the idea was he was always a pretender. Gorilla would constantly put down his claim as a champion. It wasn't the top guy against the top guy, he was just a heel with a belt. Good angle, but it did, in a backhanded way slight WCW, as it made their belt a joke in the land of the big guys.

WWF totally shit on the ECW belt by having Tazz wear it on Raw before doing a job, as well as losing to Triple H, who also kicked Dreamer's ass, giving both guys and the belt absolutely nothing, solidifying on WWE TV that ECW wasn't worth a damn.

Of course it really wasn't by that point, but that's hardly the issue.
To be hoenst, ECW isn't worth a damn.
