I personally feel that they should merge the 3 titles and make one interbrand triple crown champ. Have the IC, US, and TV titles be the main brand belts, with the major champ only fighting on PPVs and making a bigdeal when hes in a feud. They would have to rotate feuds between brands so no brand gets the shaft, but I think it could work.
Thoughts?

Could work, but it didn't work so well last time when it was the Undisputed title.

Then the US, TV and, IC belts stay around the waist of the current World Champs and the mid card still has nothing to do. Just like the last time. |

Even if they did that, it still would be below the REAL Triple Crown Champ Minoru Suzuki.

I like it. It seems like now, half the roster is a former world champion of some type.
Of course, I've never liked mid-card titles because I could never get a handle on what they meant. It's not "top guy" or "top cruiserweight" or "top tag team", it's "top guy that isn't really THAT over, i.e., he's not in the world title scene, even though he may occasionally get title shots, but mostly it's just decoration".
One world champion, 3 brand champions, cruiserweight, women's, and 2 tag teams titles are more than enough, and only 1 less than there is now.

This is 2007... if they did bring back the TV title... It'd have to be the HDTV title.

I also think the tag, cruiserwieght, and women's belts should be interbrand. That way all the good chicks, cruisers, and tags can be on all shows. Just get rid of the raw tag titles, which mean just about nothing, right now.

Yeah I think it would be cool. Plus the champion would have to work harder then everyone else, ands that kinda how it should be IMO...

Wasn't the TV belt that title that when you won it, you were given free TV dinners and got to meet celebrities and stuff? I heard Scott Hall talk about it on WCW once. I would love to win it for some of those Hungry Man Dinners and a Chance to meet Ciara.

The TV belt was one of the cooler belts around back in WCW. I always enjoyed it.

If they're going to have 3 belts, they need to change the stips around the other belts so that yhe belt holders actually get over. Right now, they're just a useless prop that gets carried to the ring. For example, the Intercontinental Belt could be like the old TV Title, with a 10 minute TV time limit and it must be defended on every television show broadcast, with no count outs (believe it or not, this is a great way to get guys over, WWE). The United States title can be a submission title. Now all of sudden, guys have a reason to fight for the belts (so and so wants to be the best submission wrestler, so and so wants to prove he can beat anyone in under 10 minutes). This in turn helps out the world title belts because now, for storyline purposed, say a champ takes on a US Title holder.....he's not taking on a midcarder, he's taking on one of the best submission wrestler in the WWE....will he beat him? When a top guy holds the belt then, too, its not like he's getting demoted.There's a ton of different things they can do with the midcard belts to spice things up and get guys over....but they do nothing. How original, creative.

It'd be good, if booked right...
The problems is: considering WWE have been basically telling their fans "if it's not about the World/WWE Championship, it's worth squat" for the last five years (or so), how'd the general audience accept to see the Champion and the Main Eventers feuding for the Undisputed Title on ONE show?
Back in the day, a house show featuring Tito Santana v Nikolai Volkoff was more than ok. Now an episode of RAW headlined by Carlito v Benjamin or even Hardy v Umaga (for the IC belt) wouldn't get such a warm welcome I guess...
The midcard scene has been raped for years, the midcard titles have lost most of their value and meaning, so a TV show revolving around the IC/US Title, with the World Champion only making a random appearence would bomb horribly IMO.
First WWE need to rebuild the midcard and restore its credibility to the eyes of the fans, THEN we'd think about an Undisputed belt and about a less dominating main-event scene.

I disagree, the IC and US title scene and contenders have been excellent lately. When Rey was champ, the emphasis of the show was on Lashley, Kennedy, Booker, Finaly, etc. With Jeff Hardy back, the IC title scene has gotten a breath of fresh air. Making them the major titles of each brand would propel the midcard, not demote them further.

I think each brand needs it's secondary belts, but I agree that there should be just one World Champion, who defends on both brands (ECW isn't really a brand, any more than OVW and DSW are.) If the champ loses to a challenger from Smackdown, he takes their place in that roster - which would allow a logical reason to move top people from one roster to another from time to time.

I would make the ECW belt the old Hardcore Belt with 24/7 rules that type of stip would really work with three brands |
