Which title would you like to see brought back?
I'd like the cruiserweight title brought back.

European. Didn't care for the Cruiserweight division.

None
They already have too many titles.

Well we don't really need any more titles the way they ignore all of the ones that aren't the WWE Title, but ideally the Cruiserweight title would mean some new, exciting wrestlers who may not otherwise get a shot in WWE could be signed, so it's an easy choice over Santino holding the European Title for 8 months and never defending it.

The cruiserweight belt could actually have some purpose, the european title would just be another midcard title.

Definitely the Cruiserweight.
What can you do with the European Title that you can't already do with the US Title?

Replace the Heavyweight with the Cruiserweight since there's no need for two main event titles with if it's one consolidated brand again.
Conjoin the US and IC titles for the same reason.
WWE Championship (main event, 8 to 10 contenders)
WWE Cruiserweight Title (midcard, anyone under 215 lb. eligible)
WWE Intercontinental Title (12 to 14 contenders)
WWE Tag Team Title (6-8 tag teams in contention)
WWE Divas Title (6-8 contenders)

I love the European title, and I think that with so many talented European wrestlers on the roster now, you could do some really awesome stuff with it. Any competent booking team would be able to handle it well.
But this is the WWE, and competent booking isn't what I'd usually associate with them. So I have to reluctantly pick the Cruiserweight.

Definitely the Cruiserweight. What can you do with the European Title that you can't already do with the US Title? True and the only people that'd be cool to see win that title are Barrett, Cesaro, possibly Kofi and Daniel Bryan. Maybe Sheamus. |

Every time someone makes a thread suggesting the Cruiserweight Championship should be brought back, it always ends up as that same argument that it would be a revamped division with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, CM Punk and various others who technically, yes, do fit the bill as a Cruiserweight or if they don't, it could always be branded something like the WWE Junior Heavyweight Championship. WWE could also bring in international talent to help establish the talent.
There's various problems with that. WWE, or WWF as it was known at the time, did try to bring in international talent as part of the initial Light Heavyweight division. Outside of Taka Michinoku and maybe Aguila though, it never really went anywhere as opposed to the likes of Jushin Liger, Rey Mysterio, Psicosis and more being brought into WCW. Later when the title became the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, the only would-be main eventer who ever got near it was Rey and even he was done with the title by the time 2005 rolled around. How many times did a Nunzio or a Gregory Helms lose to a Batista or an Undertaker? If WWE wanted to establish a serious cruiserweight division, they would have already done it, simple as that. They certainly never would have put the title on Hornswoggle.
On the flip side of the coin, people don't seem to mention the European Championship as much although there was quite the buzz about it last year when Antonio Cesaro won the US Championship and everybody had the oh so clever idea that he should be the one to bring back the Euro title. The original purpose of that title was to give guys a platform to the Intercontinental Championship which in turn would preview which guys could be WWE Champion. The problem with current WWE is that if a guy like Curtis Axel can become the IC Champion, surely the vast majority of the roster should be able to achieve that goal as well. Many people see the IC and US titles at the Euro level whereas its the World Heavyweight Championship that determines whether or not a guy could one day be WWE Champion. Bringing back the European title isn't going to solve that hierarchy.
For my own personal amusement, I'd like to see the Hardcore Championship, especially with stuff like Youtube and Vine that could really follow the action 24/7. However, there's the argument again of why go for that title when you could in theory hold out and eventually become IC or US Champion.

The European title is easily the most nonsensical idea for a title the WWF/WWE has ever had. I never understood having a European title that is in an American based company, defended in America, and held largely by American wrestlers.
I'm not a fan of the crusierweight title either, but at least in theory, the cruiserweight title provides a new opportunity for guys to shine. All the European title would do is to water down the WHC, IC, and US titles even more than they already are, which, admittedly, is a tough feat to accomplish.

I'm probably in the minority of people who liked the Hardcore Title but hated the 24/7 rule, at least as anything beyond Crash Holly's original run. All of the best Hardcore Champions (Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, Steve Blackman, Rob Van Dam) either were before the rule or didn't generally engage in that silliness. |

As long as the Cruiserweight Champion and the rest of the division don't turn into a magnet for getting beat up by monsters/giants as has happened in the past then I suppose I'm fine with that option.

European, but only to replace the US title.
The cruiserweight divisoin is redundant when your top babyfaces are around 200 pounds.

If they're going to treat every title but the WWE title as an accessory then no, don't bother.

If they absolutely had to bring one back, I'd prefer it to be the Hardcore belt, 24/7 rule and all.
I liked the 24/7 rule, what of it?
