I dont know what match would work. Honestly, JBL vs anyone in a unification doesn't interest me. I mean I'll defend Bradshaw for being entertaining, but there's something wrong about him headlining Mania.
In a perfect world they'd do either Benoit-Guerrero or Benoit-Angle. Benoit-Eddie would be cool bceause they could play off how Mania ended last year, leading to this match for both titles. |

Now he is a question, should we see Chris Benoit carry both championships seperately, and defend them as if they were completely seperate championships. Under this scenario, you can have three possible ways of handling this. You can have the titles unrestricted by the brands (so he can defend the WWE Championship on RAW, and the World Heavyweight Championship on SmackDown! and vice versa). You can have the titles remain trademarks of each brand, and have Benoit respresent them respectably. So Benoit vs. JBL for the WWE Championship would be a feud on SD! and Benoit vs. Triple H would be for the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW. The third option is to have it depend on the champion. Benoit could decide to make all his matches for both heavyweight champions, claiming that if he loses a match, he deserves to lose everything to his name other than his reputation. You could have Triple H only defend the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW, and the WWE Championship on SmackDown!, and you could have JBL have respective feuds for both titles on each brand. In nay of these scenarios, you have both titles remain seperate, and an active part of the WWE's title histories, you just have them both around the shoulders of one wrestler as of WrestleMania 21 until he loses one or both. The other option is to have both titles desolved together to create a new title. This "universal" title would be a composition of the WWE Championship, WCW Championship and World Heavyweight Championship. Chris Benoit would then travel between both brands with a different belt, which would be a new championship whose champion represents all three heavyweight titles. I htink this could really raise the criteria as to who the WWE puts into the main event position. I would certainly be more careful about taking a risk with who becomes a "Grand Heavyweight Champion", and I think guys like JBL and Booker T may be deflected a lot more as challengers, and guys would have longer reigns with the belt. I can see the little screen thingo that pops up before a title match having all three championships surrounding the name of the belt (which I have no idea as to what it should be), and it would definately give each title match a more "epic" feeling. |

I would just call it the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and have the champ cross between both shows.
They should go back to 1 PPV per month, and then during RAW brand PPVs, the champ tours with RAW (could occasionally show up on SD during this period) and vice versa for a SD PPV month. It just creates a clear focus, and I think having one clear champ will increase the chances of a new star getting over. |

Jan: Royal Rumble (Both) Feb: No Way Out (SmackDown!) March: WrestleMania (Both) April: Backlash (RAW) May: Judgment Day (SD!) June: Bad Blood (RAW) July: The Great American Bash (SD!) August: Summerslam (Both) September: Unforgiven (RAW) October: Halloween Havoc (SD!, change the name just to embrace WCW culture a bit) November: Survivor Series (Both) December: Armageddon/Starrcade (RAW, I can see them changing the name as well) I would probably make No Mercy/Halloween Havoc and Armageddon/Starrcade interactive, and maybe have a few PPVs each year for each brand held live in another country. I would probably fly down to Sydney (from Brisbane) just to see Summerslam in Australia (which is of course winter here, but I can see the WWE announcers telling everyone around the world how the presence and atmosphere have heated up the continent). |
