The WWE and World Championship - Second fiddle to contemporary legends?

I dislike how the title doesn't mean as much as it used to just as much as the next fan, but it is almost a necessary evil or the product would get extremely stale...quickly.

The title SHOULD be on the top guys. If it's what everyone strives to have, then not having it on the top guys is ridiculous. I think you're just thinking "Well, if it has to go on the top draws, then it would always be Cena and Orton" while ignoring the option of actually MAKING more guys top draws.

I'm not saying don't give the title to a Jack Swagger or a Sheamus. I'm saying put them on the level of an Orton or a Cena and THEN give them the title. Having obvious mid-carders with the title only makes the title a mid-card title. It doesn't make them superstars. Jack Swagger and Sheamus did not become mega-stars because of their title regns. They did make the title seem more like a piece of shit though that anyone can win.
