WCW>WWE In terms of Titles Meaning Something....
Really they did. I know people are gonna say "David Arquette" but besides that i mean. And WWE gave their title to Vince which aint much better. Look at these Lists. Giving prior to their last 6 month or so desperation period. Not Showing Repeat Champs
Cruiserwieght Shinjiro Ohtani Dean Malenko Rey Misterio Jr Ultimo Dragon Syxx Chris Jericho Alex Wright Eddy Guerrero Juventud Guerrera Billy Kidman Psicosis Disco Inferno Television Title Arn Anderson Bobby Eaton Steve Austin Barry Windham Ricky Steamboat Scott Stiener Paul Orndorff Lord Steven Regal Larry Zbysco Johnny B. Badd (Marc Mero) Renegade Diamond Dallas Page Lex Luger Prince Iaukea Ultimo Alex Wright Disco Inferno Perry Saturn Booker T. Rick Martel Chris Beniot Fit Finlay Chris Jericho Konnan Scott Stiener Rick Stiener Scott Hall United States Title Lex Luger Sting Rick Rude Dustin Rhodes Steve Austin Ricky Steamboat Jim Duggan Vader Kensuke Sasaki One Man Gang Konnan Ric Flair Eddie Guerrero Dean Malenko Jeff Jarrett Steve McMicheal Curt Henning Diamond Dallas Page Raven Bill Goldberg Bret Hart Roddy Piper Scott Hall Scott Stiener Davd Flair Chris Benoit Sid Vicious Lance Storm Terry Funk Shane Douglas Rick Steiner Booker T World Title Ric Flair Lex Luger Sting Big Van Vader Ron Simmons Hulk Hogan The Giant Randy Savage Bill Goldberg Kevin Nash Diamond Dallas Page Bret Hart Sid Jeff Jarrett Booker T. Scott Steiner Most of those guys are superstars. Specifically the US and World Titles were never given to nobodys like the WWE does. The US title was never given to Asshats like Orlando Jordan for 8 months. Thats one of the reasons WCW Ruled!!! It actually meant something to win the Title. If you won the World Title you were forever a main stream Superstar. |

I agree. Especially their mid-card titles.
BUT!!! One problem. Not gonna go into too much detail (We ALL know this by now), but for the World Title list. Look at the names. With the exception of Booker T and DDP they're all old name veterans. Sure some of 'em (Sting, Simmons etc) were winning them in 1990 etc, but where are the younger names from 1999/2000? But I definately agree when it comes to the Midcard, Cruiserweight and Tag Titles. |

Are we talking now or in the past WWE? Because if it's the past this is hugely debatable, especially your US (IC) title comment.
The IC title was used as a stepping stone in the WWE to the world title/main event status. I'd say it did it more for the WWE than the US title did for WCW. Some "no-name" (at the time of reign) IC champions I can rattle off my head include Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Bulldog, Razor Ramon (AKA Scott Hall), The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H... Currently, though, that's true. Last edited by Xero; 05-20-2006 at 07:48 PM. |

OK, true, WWE did have Vince has champion but in comparison to WCW putting their world title on Arquette, there's a major difference. Vince did it just as an egofuck and IMMEDIATELY got rid of it to let the real wrestlers handle it plus it was during a really hot period for WWE. In WCW's case, they did it because they actually thought it was going to help get them some traction by having a celebrity wear their top prize and they had him actually making defenses on TV and at Slamboree in the main event no less. Plus it was during one of the worst slumps for WCW.

Are we talking about the same WCW who put the title on David Arquette for a publicity stunt? The WWE could wipe their asses on the title and still be more respectful.

The IC title has always been very well handled.
That said, wcw did a brilliant job with all their mid-card titles. As bad as the world title scene has been in wwe lately, It still isn't as bad as it was in wcw. Also, say what you will about david arquette, but the guy is a class act. First of all, he didn't even really want to do it, as he probably realized how ridiculous it was. Secondly he donated most of the money from his participation to the families of deceased wrestlers. |

Double J is not credable what so ever 'specially when he has a move called "The Stroke" which is in no way has any impact to make the crowd go holy shit.

As far as Vince McMahon winning the WWF Title negates David Arquette winning the WCW Title goes...WCW still has the "advantage" there, because not only has David Arquette been WCW Champion, but so too has one Vince Russo.

WWF never did phantom title changes. WWF never put a title on someone and then taped matches for that title without the current champion being involved. WWF never had title changes and then refused to admit them.

.....So you'd rather have Arquette pin Jarret then have Jarret win the title a few weeks later?
Its not like David could pin DDP. |

Vince was feuding with Triple H at the time. Even though he got it back, from a storyline standpoint, it made sense.

Vince was feuding with Triple H over Stephanie. That's all that was important.

However, didn't Triple H marry Stephanie to piss off Vince, which I would assume would have been an indirect result of the Vince title win? |

Well, I know that Triple H and Vince had a history before the title win.
I wasn't talking about the title win, I was talking about the title win being an indirect result of Triple H marrying Stephanie. |
