I actually agree. Even if they just stick it on Heat, it gives guys like Charlie Haas something to hold while he runs around in a mask. Val Venis could build up more of an under-card resume, so it looks more impressive when someone beats him. DH Smith could be pretty over with the European Championship, I believe. Brian Kendrick could have even won the belt while Paul London was out.
I'm not as big on the Hardcore Championship coming back. Not unless it is contested under "Extreme Rules" like classic ECW matches, and doesn't have that 24/7 stuff. I was not a condemner of it back then, but things get way too confusing when Stevie Richards can lay claim to being a 22-time Hardcore Champion from house show victories. I liked the belt when The Undertaker was holding it as a heel, and Rob Van Dam was feuding with him.
