Buckle Up: What To Do About The Belts

Of course, the idea of the belt would be better if there weren't so many cross-promotional matches as is. Being able to float between shows could be a privelage for a guy like, say, CM Punk. He could use his obligation to wrestle on both shows as a chance to do extra scouting for building a new SES. Wade Barrett could use the TV Title to do scouting for additions to the Nexus, etc. But since the brands mean nothing more than what nameplate you come out to, the idea wouldn't be very effective at this point.

I thought I was going to get my ass handed to me for that idea. Glad someone agrees.

I don't know about the guy defending it every week on both shows, plus PPVs, especially since Smackdown is taped the night after Raw. That would be kind of rough. Plus house shows and special appearances... Nowinski and Mero would love that shit.

I'd kind of rather see it on Smackdown, since that's the show where guys still get to kind of wrestle.
