I think that the Legends Championship (or whatever they call it now), the X-Division Championship, the Tag Team Championship, or even the Knockouts Championship should be able to main event an Impact. Build up your mid card almost just as well as you're building up your main events so when the time comes for guys to move up to the main event, it's an easy and natural transition.

This alone could help them in leaps and bounds. Just because WWE does it doesn't mean it should be the standard. We all know, as popular as the E machine is, there are many weaknesses that can be exploited here.
Definitely agree with this. If this is done, then people won't groan if a new belt is introduced (in addition to the smooth transition).

Take the introduction of the Legends Title as an example. When Booker T unveiled that title, most people tilted their heads because it was "just another belt." If the titles had been put at the same level before then, it would have been seen as a legit title for guys who "aren't quite there" on the card, leaving the X-Division title for guys who fit that mold (rather than lumping them together).
