Good post.

In my opinion, the answer to your question is the "less is more approach."

One company = one world champion.

-Combine the World/WWE title
-Combine with IC/US title.

Unfortunately - whoever is the world/WWE champion on Smackdown will basically be the equivalent of what an IC champion was in 1998.

While it's true that having two world titles allows for less of a glass ceiling, being a world champion on Smackdown doesn't do a whole lot for one's credibility (relatively speaking).

This is the main point that fucks everything up. No one can really be at "the top" of the company since there isn't really one world title. It's ridiculous. It's an excuse to give a guy like Jack Swagger the status that guys like The Rock, Austin and Hogan have had. We know it's not the same thing but that's the thought process and it's stupid.

Like Shadrick said, Santino was the closest thing to a "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, what if he pulls it off" moment but Santino is SO far down the ladder, it just shows how low the standards are that that's how much of a glorified jobber you have to be to "shock the world" by winning the title.

So yeah, the only way to fix it is to have one world title. This prevents a company who is too lazy to build stars and is dumb enough to think throwing the world title on someone is gonna get them over from "using" one a world title in such a manner because you don't have another one to fall back on.

Also agree with this as well. This plus MITB is what's stopping the WWE from making stars.

I agree with you. At least for the near future, the world title, does not seem like something as high up and unattainable on the totem pole as it did for midcarders in the Attitude era. To make things worse, there are two world titles...

I still think WWE should have ONE WWE title, with IC and US titles as top titles of their respective brands and the WWE title storyline can be featured on both shows...but I guess that's not practical because WWE wants a world/WWE champ when traveling on the road...dunno.

But I definetely don't see anything as awesome as Foley's first chase in the near future.
The title simply doesn't have the same value...the same mystique.
