It seems the position of the ECW title as a world title is more controversial than I had previously imagined it to be here. Very well! So, now it's some sort of floating world championship for mid-carders? A world title which does not qualify a wrestler to claim he is the best in the world? no because midcarders can't hold world titles, at least that's what I've been taught. But maybe that's exactly what it is. I don't know, to be honest I'd like everyone to agree on something, but we'd never be able to.

Except how most of the people here talk about how it doesn't mean anything now. Oh so all those people saying "finally, Chavo has won a world title" weren't actually saying that then. Oh wait, they were. After spending months saying "the ECW title is not a world title" they immediately flip-flopped decision because it wasn't on Punk anymore. And there was far more people saying they didn't really give a smurf about the belt.

Well, the WWE doesn't call it a World title any more. So I guess it can just not be a World title anymore. You can't go back in time and have a title NOT reach "world" status. That's what it is, a status, not just something you CALL it. Well, PWI and the rest of the wrestling mags have no problem revoking world title status so I don't see why WWE who own the thing can't do so either.

What is the ECW title? Why, it is the top title in ECW of course! Silly original poster.

They must've been really sneaky then cause all I saw was a Chavo lovefest that by now has all but disappeared

Regardless I'm sure more people don't care about the belt at all than there is who consider it a world title.

Oh real mature, you're trying to silence me for my opinions by bringing up something I did in reaction to something that was stupid with accompanied stupid reactions. What is this, 5th grade? I don't get down on everyone for reversing their thoughts on Randy Orton's title reign somehow not living up to their expectations, or Chavo's, or anyone else's. Even if I do, it's not by name. I think you're going to start learning that I will illustrate my opinions however the f*** I want without regret or recourse and I will not be censored by the likes of you. If you have a problem, well then, you can just do the logical thing and IGNORE ME!!!

Everything's calm on this front, I'm just saying how I don't see much of a Chavo lovefest now or when he won the belt, just several posters who do call him a world champ and all. I'm not sure that I would and many wouldn't either. Okay. Speaking. Of. Which. Am. I. The. Only. One. Who. Likes. Chavo's. Run? It's nothing great but I'm sure it could be much worse. I like Chavo so I don't really mind it and I was one of the ones who marked when he won. I'll be suprised if he holds it past Mania though.

Unless a title is held by the Elite Eight of WWE (Cena, Batista, Edge, Orton, HHH, Michaels, Mysterio, and the Undertaker), it means nothing. It's a rule.

Yeah, it seems that either Mark Henry, Kane, Or The Great Khali is the idea to win it.

Sad, but almost completely true, especially since Booker and Big Show (the only other two candidates for that category) lost their respective titles in late 2006.

What is the ECW Title?: Hmmmmm, shiny trash, yet still more important than the TNA Title.

What is the ECW title? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!
Anyway, it's the top (and only) title on ECW. Overall prestige-wise, it's on the same level of the IC/US title, IMO. Used to be between those titles and the WWE/World titles before, due to both the decreased status of the midcard belts and the way the ECW title was booked, but it doesn't seem as important anymore, and both midcard titles feel a lot more valuable now.

It's a super chocolaty belt with 18 essential vitamins and minerals

The ECW champion is the champion of the TV show on Sci Fi.

When Morrison faced Cena in ECW, he was roughly on the same tier as him. It is meaningless to people who have really high expectations for the belt.

Just like the US or Intercontinental Title? They're not any of those things either. They both absolutely are world titles. A logic question, if I may: How can the "U.S." title be considered a "World" title? The United States is not the world.
