The ECW Television Championship

I normally agree with you, man, but I couldn't be on a more opposite end of the spectrum here.

Didn't RAW only have one hour a week at one stage? One hour for three titles? Or was it five, I can't remember. Looking at RAW, you have four titles for two hours. That roughly evens out to two titles per hour, which is what ECW has.

I think what a big problem with the new ECW has been, is that it hasn't got a hierarchy. Everyone is after the ECW Title, because it's the only thing on the show. There is no line saying "so and so is not good enough for the ECW Title yet," so it looks less impressive when someone holds it.

For example, if Stevie Richards was ECW TV Champion, and Chavo Guerrero was ECW World Champion, Chavo automatically looks better. Whereas, Chavo as ECW Champion on a show without anyone else to put his talent into perspective, makes it look like Velocity.

The brand feels really unformed, and I feel a lot of that is because professional wrestling companies (or "brands") have not had a sole singles championship in years. ROH has had the Pure Title or FIP Title; TNA has the X-Division Title, etc.

I think ECW could really use a Television Championship just to really put some perspective into what the ECW World Championship actually means.
