Now when another team steps up and wins it from the Yankees, I see that as that team really stepping up and making a name for themselves, but not until the champsionship is is somthing that the competition is so hard that nobody could win it for 2 years in a row does the World Series really regain it's strength IMO.

Again, not that I like short title reigns or anything, as I would rather see one wrestler dominate for longer periods of time to build them up, but I do see them as making the title look stronger.
I agree. If there's not valid competition, a sport is boring. If the competition is weak, I kinda tune it out.

Now, if it's because of the quality of the teams, a close race is mad exciting, and makes it look good.

If the teams are weak, competition is kinda pointless.

Wrestling has its roots in sports, so it's natural if people are more interested in an intense competition. the title's only as strong as the interest it can maintain.
