Most important title?
Well titles seem to suck these days. With that in mind what companies title means the most?
WWE Title is the mecca in my opinion, this is the title every wrestler wants. World Heavyweight title to me is more about wrestling than the WWE Title. NWA World Heavyweight Title has been tainted big time in the past but now is a huge title to have again. ROH World Title to me is probably the 2nd best title to have. ![]() |

The WWE title would get my vote...but with the chance K-Fed could win it on New Years day.....I'd go with the NWA title, just by default.

ROH World Title is looking pretty sweet at the moment. Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson have had fantastic reigns. Low Ki and James Gibson proved it is a title without prejudices. If ROH somehow breaks into the mainstream, whether it be larger DVD marketting, or PPV deals, I think their World Championship will really become huge.

Thinking about it more....really any title that has any amount of prestige and importance will sooner or later be tainted and have it's legacy ruined by someones stupid decision one way or another...

The World Heavyweight Title doesn't mean shit. It kinda looked a little more prestigious then the WWE Championship when Batista held it – but when Rey Mysterio picked it up – it lost all credibility. The WWE Title is nowhere near as prestigious as it was years ago. The current ECW title has no lineage and is a joke. How are people suppose to care about your champions if you don’t make them care about your belts?

WWE Championship - Clearly the choice. Sorry, but even with it's useless champion, it's still the A-Title of the industry.
World Heavyweight Championship - Joke. It had a chance of being worth a damn until it was moved to SmackDown. Doesn't even hold WCW's joke of a respectable liniage. Great men have held it, but ultimately it's going to end up being about as important as WCW "International" World Champ. ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Bullshit, even with ECW's history behind it, it just isn't worth a damn. NWA World Heavyweight Championship - I would say the current #2 title in the world. The fact that the most recent champs have been Sting and Jeff Jarrett are questionable but still hold water in the argument they are decent champs. RoH World Heavyweight Championship - The title belt with the best title matches to say the least, but ultimately it's lack of world exposure makes it tough to place in level of importance. There are some secondary titles which I would put above some of the current world belts (NWA Tag for one), but that's more or less a run down of the world belts...from a former fan that is... |

IMO, The IC title is the most important title, it is defended more, and the storylines and matches over it are alot better then world title.

I'd argue it's nothing short of the second most prestigous title in America... If not the world... (IWGP has gone down lately... The Triple Crown and GHC are the only CLOSE contenders.) TNA title seems like a joke to me, and it'll take some time to build the World Title's credibility up.... |

ROH World Title. No belt has been booked to look more important. Not to mention the amazing match quality that comes along with a title match. ROH is starting to make a real name for themselves on a worldwide scale, and it's only a matter of time before more people start to take notice.

Out of the current crop of titles, NWA World Championship.
It may have been booked a little questionably sometimes, with Rhyno, etc. and the changes - but overall, it holds the most prestige out of the current championships. It'd be nice if they gave Sting a good run with the belt 'for he's not champion anymore, but hey, whatever. |

Agreed.
WCW: WWE: ![]() The WWE one reeks of... well, WWE. But the champions lately have probably made it more valuable than either World titles. We've had Lashley, Kennedy, Finley, JBL and Benoit. And besides, it could be worse. They coulda kept it like this: ![]() |

People now I like ROH, and the World title is booked very well, but it's an indy fed with a niche market.
Mr. Aristocrat is right. btw I have to say the WWE title is the most important |

WWE title, are you fuckin kidding?
Even if it sucks right now, it doesnt matter. History, legacy and stature of having held it, as well as it being the world title of the biggest wrestling company by far in the world now and for the past 25 years. I'm not saying anything bad about the TNA and ROH championship and those who hold it. Maybe you like it more, but in terms of the most important and prestigious belt this isn't even a question. |

When was the last time that the WWE Title meant shit because of what it currently stood for, not because of its history? Six or seven years ago? Probably more? That belt is not setting a standard that the industry should be following, so I can't regard it as the most important.

NWA Heavyweight Championship or WWE Title. I remember once when WWE titles looked pretty good...they're horrible now.

Titles in the WWE ceased to mean anything when they had a spinner gimmick on the 'most important one'. It makes you hope and pray for the day that HHH wins it back, and dumps the shit.

If I watched ROH, I would probably agree with the ROH World Title.
However, at current time, the most important title to me is the X-Division Championship. I'm really really looking forward to Styles/Daniels/Sabin this Thursday, and I find that whoever is holding the belt, whether it's AJ, Joe, Sabin, Low Ki or Daniels, I always look forward to that match the most on any card that it's defended. It hasn't been tarnished by cheap victories, but has in fact gained quite a bit of prestige over the past year or two by being traded off by guys like Styles, Daniels, Joe, Sabin and Low Ki; with a bevy of other very, very talented individuals challenging for the belt on various occasions. No other Championship on TV holds this kind of prestige in my eyes. The InterContinental and US Title have been treated as minor awards to the mid-carders, but not exactly something to be fought over and valued. The WWE and World Heavyweight Titles don't even really need to be talked about, as both title scenes are pure shit. Definitely the X-Title. And with a Sabin/Styles program in the works, and with TNA moving to primetime, I think it's only going to get better. |

Yeah, but its been changed through the hands of very credible individuals and each title change has only made the belt more valuable. I consider the change from Senshi to Sabin to Styles to Daniels much more enriching than John Cena to Edge to John Cena... now feuding with Kevin Federline... yeah. Fuck that.

To whoever is saying it's the WWE Title based soley on history, I would suggest you find something else to base WWE Championship above the NWA Championship. A lot of what a title means is how it is being used in the present. An example, when Mike Rapada was the NWA World Champ it ment jack shit to anyone. Hell I didn't even give a fuck about it. Then TNA came a long, and the Title means something in the moment, as well as having the history of Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Harley Race, Kerry Von Erich, Sting, Dusty Rhodes, the Funk Brothers, even far back before the WWE Title was created. So putting the WWE Title on top based purely on history is bullshit, and you certainly can't put it over the NWA Title in present time. I mean as of right now, the viable NWA Title Picture consists of; Sting, Kurt Freakin' Angle, Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, and even Overrated Joe. The viable WWE Title Picture is; John Cena, Umaga, and uh Kevin Federline....
That being said, I don't pay close enough attention to RoH to fully comment on their title, so basically I am left with the World Heavyweight on SmackDown and the ECW World...OK, easy, SmackDown's World Heavyweight Championship has a short history, with sprinkled cult favorite wrestlers inbetween Triple H reigns. In most recent times held by a midget who mooches of his dead friend's name, and Booker T playing a king. Joke of a World Title in terms of value. ECW's Title has a who's who of internet icons, but ultimately hasn't made anyone a living legend of a star.Arguably the most historical important person to hold the title is Terry Funk who was well passed his prime by the time he got to his reign. And as for now, well now it has Big Show as it's champ. Very well booked, but can't hold a dime to any other World Belt in level of importance. So as far as most important title, if we are only talking about World Titles, I say it is easily the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. If we begin to count other non-world Titles I might end up saying something stupid like it's the United States Title or something... |
