My problem with one world title is I have a feeling it would just be HHH, Cena, Orton, Edge on BOTH shows fighting over it and I don't want that. This is exactly what would happen. Bye bye elevation, hello the IC title being used as a hold title for main eventers with nothing better to do. Horrid idea. Unless they collapse the brands, what is the point?

I hate this idea for a few reasons,
1. It means they'll be getting rid of the WHC belt, which is my favourite belt.
2. Like has been said, the Woman's Titles and Tag Titles should be unified due to lack of competition. That issue isn't there with the WHC/WWE Title, and if they put any effort in that issue wouldn't be there with the US/IC Titles either
3. All the belts sure as hell better not end up looking like the Tag Belts.
4. I have even less faith in them to make top stars now

Well, MVP said he's not getting a rapper gimmick despite reports of such, so hopefully this doesn't happen. I remember a stretch in early '09 where the draft disappeared, and all they focused on were Legacy, Triple H, Show, Edge, and Cena. They even had a Smackdown with the main event of Ted vs. Batista, despite neither being on Smackdown. I wouldn't have much hope for any new main eventers either.

As I've said many times - the day they unify the World and WWE titles is the day I stop watching.

I doubt it but if true it's a horrible idea unless they want to end the brand extensions.

Funny that they didn't post this before the Womens title announcement and the Unification of the Tag Titles become official. Exactly. I'll buy this when they announce the same thing for the IC/US or WWE/WHC title.

If it gets rid of the spinner belt, I'm all for it.

If it gets rid of the spinner belt, I'm all for it. It will be modeled after the WHC title. But the centerpiece is going to be a locked spinner. ;D

Thank God. Two world titles is such an unbeliavably stupid idea on so many levels and always has been.
First of all, having two WORLD champions in one company doesn't make any sense. So Sheamus is the best wrestler in the world...on Monday nights? Thats stupid. At PPV's they kind of shuffle around which title is more important depending on the month. Its confusing. One title is simpler, and is easier to point out who is the top guy.
The two title thing has also devalued the belts a lot. Edge shouldn't be a 9 time world champion, no matter how good he is. I feel like having two titles has just been used as a way of inflating numbers and trying to pad peoples legacies to make them seem like more than they are.

Though I can't say I'm not interested in seeing how it's booked and a couple months after to see how it goes.

I think they should have one person hold both belts as a trial to see how the idea pans out before committing to it. Also, bring back the Undisputed belt!

Why does everyone think that no belt = no top star? Stars can be made without titles, if they face other top guys in the company and make the feuds matter. Back in the territory days and even in the 80's, you never saw the world champion wrestle for free on TV. The title feud was emphasized, but done through promos, announcer hype, and the occasional confrontation during an interview. This is how WWE should build their title matches, but do so in only 1-2 segments each night, while keeping the in-ring action focused on the other top feuds.
Meanwhile, let Superstars be the place where new guys not only wrestle, but advance feuds. In the early days of Shotgun and Heat, some important things actually did happen on those shows, not just on Raw (and later Smackdown). Give us a reason to watch Superstars, through some feud advancement, face/heel turn, and (lower-level) title changes, so that it's another avenue to build an angle up for ppv, and not just a throw-away show for the lower midcard.

I don't like the idea of unifying the IC/US belts.....but i'm totally behind having only one World Champion.

The world title is for the maineventers not the midcarders. How do the midcarders actually become maineventers then? That's some straight up WCW thinking right there.

As I've said many times - the day they unify the World and WWE titles is the day I stop watching. Did you not watch before 2002? That was before the branch split. If they unify the titles that would mean the WWE champion would be feuding on one show for months while the main eventers on the other show have nothing to do but twidle their thumbs and hope the champ one day looks their way. Unless they want to put all the main eventers on RAW and make Smackdown is midcarders. I'm sure that'll boost ratings.
