here is a quote from the official website...

"Prior to Sept. 2, 2002, WWE recognized only one World Champion, and that champion represented both RAW and SmackDown! Just after SummerSlam, however, champion Brock Lesnar inked a deal to become exclusive to SmackDown!, leaving RAW without a champion. RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff then declared that since Lesnar had left for SmackDown!, that RAW needed its own champion. So with that, he opened a briefcase and pulled out the old WCW Championship and gave it to Triple H, naming him the first World Heavyweight Champion. Since that time, greats such as Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit have staked claim to the prestigious championship. "

As soonas they mention they pulled out the old WCW Title problems arose in my head, because Triple H was NOT announced the first World Heavyweight Champion...even if we take the idea that once a title is renamed it loses it's heratige, The Rock was the first World Heavyweight Champion...Per Vince McMahon's announcment on the RAW fallowing Survivor Series 2001...

Not to mention how many times have I heard "Ric Flair used to hold that very title"...

Ehhhhhhh...why do I bother, WWE doesn't give a shit about their belts, why should I?

(But to whoever asked, Triple H is a 9 time Champion...he held the WWE Title on 5 occasions and the World Heavyweight on 4)
The WCW Championship was renamed to being the "World Championship", and was unifyed with the WWE Title.

Then the empty spirited WCW Title belt (without the official history), was brought back. So in a way Ric Flair has held that belt, but he was never champion.

And yeah, Triple has won the WWE Champioship (by itself) four times, and WWE Championship (unified with the WCW Championship) once and the World Heavyweight Championship four-times.

So hopefully Triple H starts calling himself a nine-time World Champion instead of a nine-time World Heavyweight Champion.
