Stupid.

Because just like boxing, it's scripted and it doesn't have to make sense.

Seriously though, It made a little bit of sense when WWE bought WCW but why do they still do it?

There's been talk of getting rid of one of them for a while. You're right that it makes no sense.

Im sure all the obvious arguments have been made but it really cheapens the WWE title.

I mean, which one is more prestigious?

I'm sure Vince enjoys treating the old NWA title like shit.

They have 2 world champs so they can advertise and have a champ at both Raw and Smakdown house shows. It also doesn't hurt that it's another toy they can sell. I would prefer they do it like they used to and call themselves WWE and tour an A show and a B show. The A show gets your champ, B show is headlined by top angle not involving the champ. No reason to have 2 champs at this point. Drop the US title while you're at it.

They should do a champ vs. champ angle for next Mania. Would be a huge draw if done properly. Don;t unify the belts, though. Let the winner keep both and find a way to give one to someone else if needed later on.

After typing that out, that sounds like a terrible idea. Let's all just ignore that one...

I'm surprised he didn't put it on Gillberg on the first show he could have.

They should go old school and have the World and US champ just dissappear and never explain it.

In case we've all forgotten, the number one reason the WWE exists is to make money.

One more belt means one more slot to push, which means more asses in seats, and more merchandise potential. That's the whole mystery why there's still two belts.

I realize that Don. They could also make more money by having 9 world champs. At some point, the ridiculousness trumps the bottom line. The WWE hasnt gotten to that point yet

Sadly Dana White beat them to it. They actually have 9 titles (Hvy, Lt. Hvy, Middle, Welter, light, feather, bantam, fly, chicks bantam).

I think to suggest, even tacitly, that the level of saturation from 2 to 9 is a bit silly.

You'll also notice that they really don't give two frog nuts about pushing the other belts they have, at least not with any consistency. Hell, being Tag Champs is a great way to not be on a PPV oftentimes, at least not with your belts anyway.

nothing to see here. RPB does not like wrestling now.

Do you like the two belt system?

Yeah, well for me 2 might as well be 9. There should be one World Champion.

And Tag Champs not being on a ppv is stupid. What happened?

It does not bother me. I understand why they have it set up like that and it is a far cry from 9 world titles. There are biggest problems for them to worry about.

Its always been a sticking point for me and was part of the reason I stopped watching regularly.

I just hate it.

They need more championships. WWE, World Heavyweight, World Lightweight, Cruiserweight, Intercontinental, US, European, Hardcore, Women's, Diva's, Hardcore, World Tag, Lightweight Tag, US Tag, Women's Tag, Million Dollar Man's belt, Cena's spinarooni belt, Hulk Hogan's World Heavyweight belt that he took w/ him when Russo fired him, Hardcore, Intercontinental White belt...

Not sure

If they do it right, and I have no reason to expect they should... You run Smackdown live shows in certain states, and Raw in other states. Gives it a sort of "our team" aura. Then you use Wrestlemania as a super bowl for awarding WWE-wide belts.
