It's the reason why the IC and US titles aren't worth shit. If you are a former World Champion, it kind of elevates you above being a contender for the title, leaving guys that will likely get traded due to small roster or fired because they aren't former world champions to fight for it, and because there are so many former world champions on the roster, its credibility is destroyed.
I think with the ammount of TV and PPV's there are, and no legitimate dominant face or heel, this was just an inevitability.
On the other hand, some of these former champions are Big Show, Kane, Mark Henry, Kahli, CM Punk, Rey and I think they are all very safely regarded as mid-carders. Matt Hardy too as of one week from now. That leaves only 10 over the 3 shows, and with 2 of them being HBK and Undertaker, it seem quite as stupid.
How was this stat in the roster, say 4 or 5 years ago? When Hogan, Benoit, Eddie, Booker, Angle, Lesnar, Flair, Foley were all in there as champs?
