Personally I don't consider anyone that has won a "Triple Crown"/"Grand Slam" as such since the introduction of more titles/more brands.

Back in the day it was impressive to have won the World, IC and Tag Titles. Then they added the Euro belt and you became a Grand Slam winner if you picked that one up too.

Since then we've had a Hardcore title, the introduction of the US, World Heavyweight, WWE Tag Team, ECW and whatever belts I've probably missed.

I guess the only thing that would be truly impressive nowadays is to have held each available belt at any given time. I think Edge is probably the nearest to accomplishing this.

Like you say, to consider some belts to count and others not to makes little sense, especially when you consider that the "World" titles seem interchangeable (I.E. you are a 5 time WWE champ if you win the WWE Title again or a 5 time WHC if you win that).
