More Prestigious Title

["Hollywood" Cactus Matt]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE[/I][/B] do not turn this into a WWE vs. TNA debate. (although I'm sure it will get there sooner than later.)

Which belt, in your opinion, is more prestigious? Forget about so-called previous lineage (TNA with the NWA "lineage," and the WHC with the supposed WCW lineage) and focus more on what you personally think makes the title seem more like the belt to have.

If you prefer TNA, but you think the WHC has had better overall champions, vote for the WHC. Or vise versa: if you are a WWE fan but think that TNA has had better champions, pick the TNA World title.

The WHC was handed to HHH after he won a number-one contenders match against the Undertaker a few days before WWE champion Brock Lesnar became exclusive to SmackDown!; Ken Shamrock became the first NWA:TNA champion winning a Royal Rumble-esque battle royal during TNA's infancy. Neither man won the title in the conventional manner, but both titles have had their share of good and bad champions in the five-plus years since their inception.

So, now that we've had a brief history lesson ... get to voting!

WHC - For it's look and current lineage (HHH onwards).

WHC. Even though I hated how it's lineage began, it's had a helluva lineup since then.

The World Title has main evented WrestleMania.

So the TNA belt has the NWA-TNA lineage in this discussion but not the NWA lineage before hand correct?

If so I still think the NWA-TNA title from 2002-2004 wasn't in the spotlight. How many people bought 52 PPVs a year to follow TNA? And how many people followed Impact when it was on FSN?

Well, considering how the TNA belt will never main event Wrestlemania, I think that's a little shortsighted. I think it's got to be the TNA belt. The WHC isn't even the top belt in it's own company. And it's first champion had the belt given to him.

The World Heavyweight Championship, It has main evented Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, Summerslam, and Royal Rumble.

It is pretty much the iconic world champion belt design ever, has been made to look on par with the WWE title which is THE title.

Matches that have been competed in for the World Heavyweight title make the title matter.

IMO the Elimination Chamber solidified the title as A World Title.

Though it's not the top belt in the company, the WWE title will always be the title, I think it is on par with it's booking. Recently WHC matches have started to main event again.

Edge/Batista/Undertaker has me sold on Armegeddon.

Really I don't consider the TNA title all that important, because of it's treatment, how the champions have been highlighted, and that the X-division title for a long time was on par if not above the world title.

THat makes no sense.

With WWE there is RAW, Smackdown, and ECW, three different rosters striving for 3 different WORLD titles. It makes sense, but then people don't want to accept 3 brands as 3 separate entities..but whatever.

The World Heavyweight title, no contest.
