My point is people act as though winning two titles is some completely ridiculous, unrealistic booking that they would only reserve for John Cena. HBK won the European Championship, when he was already World champ. Austin and HHH had the World, IC and Tag titles. And the obvious example is Lance Storm.
It's not that big of a deal.

And then he can win the Cruiserweight title just for kicks. Well, I'd say that's only fair since Mysterio can win the Heavyweight title.

i want Umaga/Khali to beat them for the titles making it even more impossible to see a team beat them.

That should be stricken from the record, since it's a WCW booking Decision. ;D

HBK won the European Championship, when he was already World champ. Austin and HHH had the World, IC and Tag titles. And the obvious example is Lance Storm. It's not that big of a deal. It may be not that big of a deal, but it's still stupid booking. Having a Top Guy (or a World Champion) holding midcard titles is just plain stupid. He's already over and "strong" enough, so he doesn't really need to take a championship away from people who need it more. I hated when HBK, Diesel, Austin and HHH got the Tag Team belts while being already "Something Else Champions" or anyway being way past the stage of their careers when a Tag Team run is needed-due. (Benoit's run was VERY forgettable, as he wasn't reallty the main focus of the show anyway. but the faulty logic's the same) But sadly, WWE didn't learn their lesson, so we'll have more makeshift Tag Teams holding the belts. Now, Rated RKO had to drop the belt because they're obviously going to break-up soon, but giving the belts to Cena-HBK doesn't change a thing... The Tag Team belts are still held by two main eventers and will play second (or third) fiddle to the WWE Title AND to the ongoing feud for it. Is it THAT hard to have a decentish Tag Team division, with MIDCARDERS ONLY, so the belts can actually mean something AND can help giving some new guys a bit of credibility?

He should bring back the Winged Eagle championship and win that, the Smoking Skull Championship and win that as well as the Million Dollar Championship (meaning he goes over Austin TWICE), go to TNA and win the NWA world title, go back down to OVW and rewin the OVW World Title, head to CZW and smack Justice Pain around, go to ROH and tell Homicide that he can't see him, and then finally, beat Batista and Lashley in a handicap match to win those titles.
I don't care, just as long as Taker beats him at WM.

I'll admit that I just created this thread as kind of a lighthearted joke, but you guys have really brought up some good discussion points.
I agree that Benoit had the World Championship and the Tag Championship at the same time.... and I didn't like it then either. I really think the tag team titles should be reserved for the actual tag teams. When the top two guys on the show are holding the titles -- especially when one of them is the World or WWE Champ -- the tag titles completely take a back seat. Cena and HBK aren't gonna care about the tag titles that they have one bit... they will be feuding for the WWE title. The tag titles are just a prop to them. So now for the next few weeks or however long HBK and Cena hold the tag titles, the actual teams like Cade/Murdoch, Highlanders, etc are basically there without a purpose. And since the Raw tag teams don't have much of a purpose to begin with, it really hurts them.

Cena needs to find the European Title in his dressing room trashcan, and proclaim himself the new champ.

He could nick the Doctors Tardis and travel back to when Bruno Sammartino was champ and beat him for his belt.

OK first of all, I will be upset if Undertaker's WM undefeated streak is broken. I think that his streak is now legendary, and it makes his WM matches that much more interesting every year. Like the announcers get to play up the whole "Does so-and-so have Taker's number? Will he end the streak?" If Cena (or Batista for that matter) beats Taker at WM, that will be a buzzkill the likes of which I have never seen.
Anyway, I seriously think Cena should win the IC title this week. Cena could face Jeff and Matt Hardy in a two-on-one handicap match, and Cena would win. Then the following week, Cena would wear a wig and get the Women's title. "Joan Cena" he'll be called.

Wait. So Benoit and Batista could do this and it wasn't a big deal, Eddie Guerrero could hold the US Title and a Tag title at the same time, but GOD FORBID JOHN CENA does this! Double Standards: Serious business. And if I hear one thing about "obvious differences" let's put it like this. It's world champs (and possible midcard champs) with a tag title as well. Full stop. Don't bring in about how he's been booked etc. Cause frankly, some of you are now complaining about an IC title reign that had a good feud around it just because the reign's 3 months strong now and you don't like the wrestler holding the belt. Well, I didn't like Rated RKO as tag champs so there you go. However I guess we can't outright ignore booking. Is the booking stupid for something like this? Yes. Especially since Cryme Tyme are apparently the no. 1 contenders (but then again Paul London has been No. 1 contender for the Cruiserweight Title for almost a year now), and because RAW's tag division is at least back in a semblance of it's former self. But are people blowing this way out of proportion? Hell yes they are. To me this tag title run (if it even goes beyond a week) reminds me slightly of Dreamer and Raven as ECW tag champs in that they couldn't trust each other, hell they didn't even like each other.
