Talking Point of the Week: Underdogs in wrestling

It may just be a belt but for me it's the symbol of a wrestler being picked out as better than the rest (just with WWE title and WHC) and there are a fair few on the roster who deserve to be one of the "top guys" but obviously don't have the WWE title: - Bray Wyatt - Dean Ambrose (but in the title picture) - Wade Barrett - Dolph Ziggler - Even Roman Reigns but he needs to really go back to school or something to learn the ropes.

I'm a little torn on the title situation. I thought I'd absolutely love having one title again in WWE, but now that it's happened it's been a bit less "epic" than I thought it would. I don't know what I was expecting but honestly the title is still about the same in prestige as it was before. Nothing has really improved and all that seems to have happened is that now we likely won't see a lot of guys that you mentioned ever hold a world championship. I don't know, I guess what I'm saying is if they were just gonna continue booking shit in the exact same way then maybe we should've just kept the two belts. At least then some of the guys who deserve more than the midcard could actually get it even if it was considered a "second tier" title.
