They toss in the ECW champion with the other world champions only when the feel like it. If the ECW champion is Bigshow, Bobby Lashley, or Matt Hardy they start almost treating it like a 3 world title, when someone like CM Punk or Morrison has it, then it is an opening match with no flair for a ppv.

You're absolutely correct. They're very inconsistent with it. But that's why I put it on a rung between the World Titles and the IC/US Titles.

The Benoit stuff really hurt the ECW Title, I think. Before that, they were calling it the "ECW World Championship," and I'm sure that Benoit was meant to win the title at Vengeance: Night of Champions, and wrestle some matches with CM Punk, which would have been star-making stuff. I've said it before, but I think a Benoit/Punk blow-off with Punk finally winning the ECW World Title could have headlined a smaller PPV like Armageddon.

As much as he is awesome, and I love him, Johnny Nitro winning the ECW Title sort of lowered it a bit, and got it stuck in a rut, of sorts. He now seems ready for something like the ECW Title, but back then, it feels like he only got the nod because they didn't want to pull the trigger with CM Punk, and Johnny Nitro was the most decorated guy on the ECW roster to fill in for Benoit.

Then Punk won it, but beating John Morrison wasn't really like beating the best technical wrestler in the WWE, at the time. Then he lost it to Chavo Guerrero, and then they decided (for some reason), that the ECW Champion should compete in the Royal Rumble Match.

It's an inconsistent road they've traveled, but I'm hoping Matt Hardy really raises the prestige.
