I hate going back to the 1996-2001 era, but wrestling succeded because it showcased all of the divisions. It makes a variety of wrestlers seem more important to the audience. I mean you had a guy like Crash Holly be one of the most popular guys in the industry for months in the Hardcore division. D-Lo got super over once he became a staple in the European division.
I've always been a huge advocate of all these belts because it really does get people over. Don't get me wrong, WWE is beyond awesome right now, but there's a shit load of guys they can get over by seperating them into multiple divisions.
