It's been stated before, but they were looked upon as equals until Swaggers run with it.

I agree with this. I want them to keep the brand split, but there should be only ONE top champion. The WWE Champion should be the top champion of both RAW and SmackDown: the best of both brands. People say they need two World Titles because of the house shows, but if Cena can headline RAW and PPVs without a belt, then he can headline whichever house show tour the WWE Champion isn't on.

If there is just one championship, then feuds will be fresher and we won't see the same guys feuding over the belts for 3-5 months

CM Punk also later said that a WWE champion vs WHC champion match is only worthy for Wrestlemania. not a big deal at all tbh.

Too bad it can't happen.

What would the RR winner do?
Go after the IC?

It could happen if they wanted to unify the belts. RR winner could always use their match early a la Cena in 2008 (I believe).

The WHC would be perceived as an equal title...if it was treated as such. When you have Sheamus and Del Rio doing the same boring stuff over and over, it takes away from the credibility. I don't think the WWE realizes, or just doesn't care, that they can have more than 2 people compete for the WHC.

They could have a Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton feud for the Title. Or they could bring in Wade Barrett and make it a 4 man feud for the WHC. It would make things more interesting.

Next week two jobbers will say "two is greater than one" and completely bury Ryback because two is indeed greater

SteenIsGod · 09-04-2012, 05:01 PM

Swagger Destroyed that Title. Remember how hot it was 2009? Punk was consistently maineventing PPV with the WHC, and it was far more compelling then the WWE Title. I think Punk Main Evented(Actually Closed the Show) Like 4 PPV's in a row with the belt on the line. I think that's more than Orton's ever done LOL.

That's true. Should that be said live on the show as well?

That would be awesome if he did that. It would feed perfectly into Punk descending even more into heeldom than he already has, and it is true.

The thing is, if Cena was the heel in this whole feud we probably would've heard that, and it would've been fine. Punk saying the truth to Sheamus, while it sucks, is something that has been true for the better part of the last 10 years. It would've been one thing if Punk said that as a face, but as a heel? He's being a heel. It's not as much putting the WHC down as it is putting himself over as "The Best in the World".

Really, I don't see what the big fuss is. If Sheamus was heel he probably would've responded similarly. If any heel WHC was on the receiving end of that, they would have responded similarly. I think people take offense to that because it's true and they like Sheamus, or have gripes with Punk from outside of this.

What would've really been wrong is if Punk said something like:

"Sheamus, the World Title means nothing anymore. That's why it's on the b-brand and it doesn't help that a talentless ginger like yourself is bringing the title further down into the depths of mediocrity."

That could be looked at as true but that would've been going too far. Punk simply saying "At best, you're number 2" isn't bad and is actually the best he could do considering his gimmick. Of course Punk is the real number 2 and Cena is number 1, but Punk is a heel and his gimmick being an arrogant "Best in the World" requires him to think he really is such and the number 1 guy, even if he's not.
