Hi everyone, Just read what happened on RAW this monday and it's getting clearer and clearer that whatever shenanigans happen backstage are clearly being reflected onto whose being made champion when. Its been known for a LONG time that batista was unhappy with the way he was being used on RAW and he wanted a title run. However, im guessing WWE wanted in the long term a heel champion to face the returning Cena. Now somewhere along the lines, im guessing backstage politics came through and "some people" must have pressurised WWE creative to give the strap to batista which is exactly what happened. Personally, I don't like World titles changing hands so soon and giving batista the strap for 8 days and then giving it back to Jericho is just plain ridiculous. It builds up the wrestler and gives the title credibility when they have a long reign as champion. This has probably no wmade batista look weaker rather than better. I would hate to see WWE stray into TNA territory and just pass the world title around constantly, which is why im praying Cena doesn't win at Survivor series - however im sure there's rumblings backstage to suggest otherwise  |

I guarantee that Raw ratings will go up with Cena as WHW Champ, as much as I love Jericho.

it's funny bc when triple h held the world title for like almost two years everyone complained that there weren't enough title changes , same with edge and ortons lengthy runs .....now we've had a couple of short title runs and now we're complaining that the title is losing credibility....case and point .... wrestling fans always want the opposite of what's going on.....Jericho will drop to Cena and cena will drop to batista @ wm

i also hate quick title changes. There was no point in giving Batista the title. And Jericho will probably lose to Cena at Survivor Series

Batista can always invoke his rematch clause and make the title match at Survivor Series a triple threat which is what I think will happen anyway.

Title reigns less than a year = Meaningless.

Triple H was given the Championship. Pretty much started out as a politics belt.

i don't mind having a few title changes in order to spice things up. there's still 2 other world titles and all it takes for this one to regain "credibilty" is one long reign, and that shouldn't be too hard with cena coming back.

i like the title changing hands more often, it keeps things interesting to me. i'll sacrifice "credibility" or whatever in exchange for a world title scene that isn't completely stagnant.

I don't really care either way, I just hope Cena doesn't get it.

The WWE title changed about 7 times back in 2002.

A short reign every now and then doesn't hurt, it makes matches more spontaneous and exciting.
Now if it's like late WCW where the belt is treated like the hardcore championship and changes hands 3 times everynight, then it becomes a problem

And somehow, Triple H has been able to keep the WWE Championship since April  Didnt I make a thread about short titles reigns last week? I think I did |

I enjpyed it because it was very unexpected. A World Title change on Raw is very rare, and I don't recall it ever changing hands in the cage.
It adds to the unexpectedness of it, and I liked it. As long as there aren't a ton of one week reigns, it will be okay.

People say they dont enjoy the title changing so much now, and when Cena wins it back and holds it forever, those same people will be on here bitching that it doesnt change enough

i think there has always been politics in the wwe and with the main titles since they began. Maybe look more at a certain HHH on SD! theres politics in a nutshell

This thread just shows that most (not all, but most) wrestling fans are never happy, and chronic complainers.

I'm ticked that Batista lost the title already. But I am even more ticked that CENA WILL BE CHAMP. We will be taken back into Cena down our throats hell for another year. *groans*
