#1 Contendership

I'm not all that great when it comes to making up storylines but what are your thoughts on this idea?

I think NWA does it and I think the WWE should do it to add some credibility to their titles. They should come up with championship rankings. They should list the top 10-20 contenders for each championship on wwe.com or something and even talk about it on television. That way the fans kind of know who should be the next guy to get a shot at whatever belt division he's in. You can still have your storylines and guys who really don't fight for the belts but I think this would sort of organize everybody.
Right now all a guy needs to do to get a championship shot is ask and he's magicially number 1 contender. I believe this would help build fan support for each wrestler as he has to fight his way to the top. Look at Carlito, he debuted and won a belt. Fans didn't care about him. You could work so many angles into a ranking system.

I dunno, I just think it could help to make the fans care about each wrestler a little bit more in turn making the belts mean something.
