Well, we know how it went now, but I would have agreed with you, Big Vito, regardless. CM Punk was the key to getting one of the SmackDown!/ECW titles to cross that border. Unless you wanted to see John Cena as a four-time WWE Champion, or Batista as a four-time World Heavyweight Champion.
I still wish Big Show were ECW Champion over Mark Henry. The ECW belt was just starting to get credibility by being around the waist of someone that had actually held a major WWE title before in Kane, and would have continued getting a rub by being held by Big Show again. Mark Henry has knocked the belt down to the status it was when CM Punk won it without holding a major championship to his name, but Punk has compelling talent which helps nudge him above Mark Henry. Plus, Punk was never the father of a hand on WWE television. Punk winning the ECW Title didn't exactly make it feel more like a World Championship, though. It more raised the question "Can we really consider this belt held by Bobby Lashley, Vince McMahon, Johnny Nitro and now CM Punk a World Title?"
Big Show should have won the belt, and then dropped it to say, John Morrison, Chavo Guerrero or William Regal. Morrison and Guerrero have been ECW Champion before, and beating a six-time World Champion would give them an actual rub winning it again, and William Regal at least has the 2008 King of the Ring behind him.
