Just want to point out that there are a lot of good points being brought up, its rare you see a decent discussion on here anymore.
BTW, just so its clear, the Summerslam build was mainly around Brock and Rock, yeah they did throw in some HBK-HHH promos, but the vast majority of the spots were the training pieces.
Anyway, I didn't want to bring up the NWA title thing because I didn't know how many people followed NWA back in the day, but thats basically how I think the title should be booked. RAW and SD would have their IC and US champs who would main event, but then when the Undisputed Champ comes in, its a big deal.
The main problem I have with the two world titles is when they have them both on the major PPVs. Wrestling shows should build to a climax, and when you have one world title match, and then another, its hard to get excited and feel the same level of importance for just the one title.
And then the other thing is that you run out of main event matches very quickly. Especially with say Hunter, who has pretty much ran through the entire RAW roster. I mean with Mania coming up, I cant think of a plausible opponent for him on RAW, that we haven't see a million times, or for poilitical reasons wont happen. At least with one champion you create a lot more fresh matches with the champion going between shows.
Personally I felt that Mania would be a good time to at least try to see how the Unified title thing would work. Let one champion go between both shows, and do that for a few months, and then see what happens business wise. If you see some problems, then they could always do an angle to split the titles, which at least would create some controversy.
