Loss Of A Title
14/03/08
WWE’s last Cruiserweight champion, Hornswoggle, may be the last! With the movement of the title to the defunct section of the website, WWE seem to want to sweep this title under the table.
Whilst WWE seems to want to ruin Cruiserweights by making them all wrestle the same there was so much that WWE could have done with this title to make it worthwhile. Below is a list of the now unsued titles and how and who they could add benifits!
Cruiserweight Title - Hornswoggle
Lightheavyweight - X-Pac
Who: Chavo, Miz, Jamie Noble, Rey Mysterio, Jimmy Wang-Yang, Gregory Helms.
Why: With the steroid controversy, WWE can show that they have a showcase of smaller, athletic competitors. They don’t have to be jacked up and tall, they can be small and fast. Added to that WWE would have a better chance of being able to tempt the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Jay Leathal to the division.
Hardcore Title - Rob Van Dam
Who: Tommy Dreamer, Hardcore Holly, Big Show, Balls Mahoney, ECW
Why: When ECW started they said that not all the matches were going to be extreme rules - good, but why not allow those who can brawl an outlet? This title could be defended and change hands at house shows. The lower tier characters in ECW need a reason to fued too! The 24/7 rule was fun sometimes too!
ECW TV Title - Rhyno
ECW Tag Title - Danny Doring/Roadkill
Who: Lower/Mid Card ECW
Why: As i said above, ECW need a second title to elevate the lower/mid card. Titles matter, (allegedly) this is what everyone in wrestling wants. The Intercontinental/US Titles are supposed to be a stepping stone to higher things, ECW needs that too. Only one though as the show is only a hour long.
European Title - Jeff Hardy
Who: Mid Card, all brands.
Why: This title and others (E.G. Asian, Australasian) could be used as a title that is only defended in that area. The European title could only be defended when on tour of Europe. WWE is going abroad a lot more then. With a history of the British Bulldog, HHH and William Regal, the title still has many who remember it. With it being only defended in Europe, it can be supported and allow the WWE to justify the ‘World’ in WWE. This should not be defended in America, as that is where the US title is defended. Nothing wrong with the holder showing it off though! - Matches for American fans could be shown on the web site though!
