If Christian is a former World Champion because of his time in TNA, then Morrison, Punk, and Gurrerro are former World Champions due to ECW.

Noid stated that, "If the answer is yes, and guys like Jerry Lynn can be considered World Champions, why not Chavo Guerrero?" Becasue Jerry Lynn was a main event wrestler in 1999 and 2000 and was carrying a company, so was Mike Awesome, Credible and Corino. I connect a level of a title to the quality of matches that are being performed for it. The matches that took place in ECW were much better that those that are done today. |

I think people are dismissing the ECW Title a little bit. I'd definitely assume it is more prestigious than the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. What is the story behind that belt? Kurt Angle won it, Sting held it for a few days, and Angle then won it back. The ECW Title at least has its history dating back to the old-school ECW days, and has been showcased to a larger audience (henced presented as a "World Title" to a larger audience). |

I'd personally love to see the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship and ECW Championship unified into a WWE World Heavyweight Championship to hover between the three brands. The Intercontinental Championship then becomes permanently the property of RAW, and the United States Championship becomes the permanent property of SmackDown!. Bring back the ECW Television Championship to Sci-Fi, and maybe change its name to the "WWE Television Championship." Then you have a secondary exclusive title for each brand.
I think the World Tag Team Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship should be unified into the WWE World Tag Team Championship, just to tidy things up. The separate belt idea is good, in theory, but unifying them would make tag team wrestling look a little more prestigious for a while. At least until the WWE fucks it up. The Women's Championship can then move around the brands at will, as well. |
