The championship is meaningless unless Brock Lesnar is holding it

I agree Brock should have the title and it really shouldn't be competed for that much, maybe 3 times a year max, just to give it that level of prestige.

Agreed, but I would say:ld: maybe five or six times a year. The every month title defense gas gotten WWE stale, especially with non-prototype main eventers like Ambrose and Owens. The biggest draw should be the champion. Period.

to all the people saying no, you're okay with the world title belts being in the mid card :stopitslime:

I'm not okay with wrestlers winning the title then taking 4-5 months off making for awkward PPV events. This will not work with the number of RAW PPV events.

I agree in a way with this. PPV main events not ending with a title match devalues the title, hell the WWE World Title has already taken a big hit with it being a mid card match at SummerSlam.

Also when it comes to the once a month PPV title defense, I wish WWE would've went back to each brand having a PPV every other month. For instance, SmackDown's PPV in September then RAWs PPV in October and so on and so on.

In regards to giving Lesnar the belt? No, seen it, and hated it.

i would have included cena as well but he just put over AJ so he's kinda cooled off a bit.

pretend you are a casual viewer, now have a look at this poster:


SummerSlam_2016.jpg


:ld:who might you assume is the champion?

:ld:even if it weren't the guy dead in the middle, would you guess that the champion could possibly be one of those guys in the corner that got bottom billing?

:ld:or that the guy who actually WON the big title that night didn't even make the poster?



you get the point.


what credibility does the title have if the guys competing for it are 5th to last on the card at all the big time ppvs?:patrice:




i know the main argument against brock being the champion is that he isn't there all that much, but wouldn't you rather have the championship be in the main event part time... than parade around in mid card full time? :ld:

At the end of the day, it boils down to Lesnar's schedule. The way his schedule is, he may only show up at Co-Branded PPVs.

Giving Finn and now Owens the belt is WWE throwing in the white flag for the fall season. Reigns and Rollins will be back in the title scene by the Rumble.

I don't agree with the way they book but it's something I've noticed over the years.

Brock Lesnar is kind of like an optional boss in Dark Souls who's harder than the actual final boss of the game. If you're crazy enough to try to beat him you can, but you can progress through the entire game without facing him once.

They just need to book better. People gonna watch no matter where Brock is on the card. Most of the viewers are network subscribers and those that paid sixty or whatever it is on ppv, aren't gonna just watch the Brock fight. They gonna watch the entire card, just like in boxing and ufc. This notion that certain wrestlers increase buyrates is bullshyt. They could put Brock on the first match and people would still watch. They need to focus on Ambrose and their younger talent that will be there in the future when Brock isn't.
