Thanks to Navdeep Ghali for the following:
....Finally, in something I find really interesting (and I’m sure you will too), WWE.com’s title history website has put the WWE Championship above the World Championship on the title list, and, to make things even more interesting, the history of the World Championship has been changed. Previously, it had the entire history of the WCW title (and the WWE World Title version with Angle, Booker T, Jericho and the Rock) and all the title holders prior to the unification by Jericho. Now, it begins with Triple H’s first title run, when he was handed the title in September of 2002, and continues from there. I guess now that the WWE title is on Raw, it’s the Premier Wrestling Championship while the World Title has lost all of its previous prestige. Very interesting.

Ok I remember that there was a thread concerning this a long time ago. Now even though some of us thought this should have been the case when the World Title was introduced 3 years ago(I for one did not), I think that the WWE should have stuck with what they had laid down previously. IMO this does a tremendous amount of damage to the WHC, as well as Smackdown. 
What are your opinions? |
Triple H was just handed the title. No tournament, no round robin, no NOTHING... just declared the champion. It lost all and any credibility right then and there, even if it was apart of the WCW World Title or just a new title, it has NO credibility. So, IMO, it has never had any credibility to begin with so I don't see how this affects anything.
And those classic HHH/Steiner and HHH/Nash feuds for the title didn't help much either. Or HBK's pathetic one month title reign. Or Goldberg's 3 month title reign. Or Benoit's reign which was being overshadowed by HHH V. HBK round eight hundred and nintynine. Or Randy Orton's one month title reign.
I will say that 2005 has so far been a good year for the World Heavyweight Title. It has been made to look strong. Batista/HHH feud has built up some credibility for the title and someone not named Triple H s holding the title and has been for 3 months and he's been allowed to be in the main event, unlike Benoit's reign.
