Guest mach7 Report post Posted October 23, 2002 I'm sure this point has been raised before, but I can't see a thread on the first page about it.. so. Ever notice that RAW seems to be moving more towards the change than you'd normally notice? Not just to Nitro, but for some reason.. something just gives me a gut feeling that they might change the name of the "fed" that RAW represents. Not necessarily to WCW, but to something. It's a small thing, but the titles.. Notice how all the titles on RAW start with World. World Heavyweight. World Tag. All the titles on Smackdown start with WWE. WWE Championship. WWE Cruiserweight. WWE Tag. It's possible.. probably won't happen. But possible. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted October 23, 2002 It really deos seem kinda supicisious, but I doubt they're really going to go through with it. The names of the titles just seem to be more of the bookers being morons and not thinking things through(what a shock). Although, if it DOES happen, I really wouldn't be surprised.

Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted October 23, 2002 Why can't they just call the tag belts the "WWE US Tag Titles" ? A throwback to the NWA of the late 80's I know, but it still sounds better than the name they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted October 23, 2002 I think it will happen soon. The elimination of most of the significant WWE belts, and the fact that most of them are callede World titles, of course it will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Quik Report post Posted October 23, 2002 Hey now, the titles have names. There's the worthless tag belts, the T&A Title, and the Fake World Belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted October 23, 2002 Hey now, the titles have names. There's the worthless tag belts, the T&A Title, and the Fake World Belt. Aren't both fake at this point? One never leaves it's owner, and one is never defended outside of PPV, and it doesn't leave it's owner either. The only difference between Brock and Hunter's belt is that some have a belief that Vince will wake up and stop pushing Brock before he stops pushing HHH.

Guest DeputyHawk Report post Posted October 23, 2002 how long does the tnn raw contract run for? i can see them running two feds until then, then just cutting half the roster, canning raw and just running the one show. they'll keep the 'world' title until that time just to keep the two programs distinct but i can't see them going through the effort of rebranding the whole raw identity. only problem is, the big money wrestlemania main has to be a title unification match surely, but if the tnn contract goes much beyond that they could well have the mw main result in some sort of no-decision. which would be almost like a final nail in the coffin of the fan base. sorry, went rather pessimistic there. shall go outside for a cigarette.

Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 23, 2002 That is a possibility, and it's something that I wouldn't mind to see happen. Though, I think the main reason for the RAW titles being called World belts and Smackdown titles being called WWE belts is to give both shows even more of a seperate identity. Here's an idea, instead of bringing back WCW, Bischoff could give the RAW brand a whole new name. Then, it would be totally seperate from Smackdown, and it wouldn't involve bringing back the name of a company that's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted October 24, 2002 I was actually hoping WCW would come back this year....but seeing WWE's current product, having WCW come back would be in INSULT to the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...but WCW has pretty much always sucked. Not much damage to be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
