Why is this good for TNA? I don't see how this affects them whatsoever.This is good news for the WWE. I know there's a lot of younger guys on this site and probably aren't familiar with fewer titles and no brand split, but trust me this is a good thing. More feud possibilities and more attention to creative writing. The titles will mean more because having multiples of each under one promotions makes them less valuable. When somebody wins a title, regardless of what title, it will be a much bigger deal than it is right now. I think that's a jab at them for signing ex-WWE employees, and if the titles are unified, and that ends the brand split - there are going to be A LOT of people lost in the shuffle, and eventually released. I don't know if I buy that. I think the shows will still operate like they do now. RAW being their flagship program with most of their top WWE performers appearing there and SD will be what's always been..a second tier show with a few high but mostly mid-level talent. Not sure what their plans would be for Superstars which is mainly there undercard and I especially don't know what their plans are for NXT moving forward. I just don't think Cena, Orton, Triple-H are going to be appearing on SD on a weekly basis. There's already guys lost in the shuffle the way it's constructed now, both major programs feature the same talent and often have the same matchups week after week despite the fact that there's more names on the rosters. They've already released a TON of talent over the past few years WITH the brand split because they do jack with them anyways. So in other words, the guys they currently give ample ring time to will stay and the guys that don't..were probably going to be receiving that pink slip anyhow.

why is everyone obsessed with age? Age shouldn't matter, it should be how well the person performs, and is entertaining, if i enjoy someones work i could care less if they are 55 or 20, if the 55 year old entertains me more thats who i want to see. And what the hell are you complaining about anyone? WWE has been all about youth lately.... Me and a lot of other people are sick of saying the same old guys we've seen so many times before. All these new guys are something different and are exciting to watch. They aren't exciting to watch. i'd rather watch regal and goldust till the end of my days then one more Drew Boringtyre match

This sounds like a pretty cool idea indeed!

Interesting stuff
Regarding the mid-carders, this could be similar to how it was in 2003 when they 'resurrected' the IC belt as the mid-card was way too cluttered, so a variance between Intercontinental contenders and something similar to the way the European title was (after the likes of Davey Boy, Michaels, Helmsley and Owen held it)
With regard to the rest, I'm all for one WH champion, one Tag Team championship and one Women's champion.

What would happen with the Royal Rumble winner? If it's WWE vs World champion. That'd be a one on one match. So it'd have to be a triple threat match to include the Royal Rumble winner.

Or the Rumble winner pulls a Cena 2008, decides to have the supposed WM title match at Elimination Chamber, wins the title then defends it against the other champion in a unification match.

The only unified the tag titles and the womens titles because the WWE is lacking in those areas. They got plenty of mid carders and main eventers.

I think that this could be a very good idea, they'd be able to build people up like they did back in the Attitude Era, the belts would mean more because everyone would be after them and the shows wouldn't follow the same format we've seen since '02.
However, the idea of having two of every title is that more talent is showcased and everyone gets a chance because WWE is pretty much the only show in town these days.

WWE can definitely operate with one World title as it is right now. Look at the only main eventers...
John Cena Randy Orton Sheamus Triple H (OUT WITH INJURY) Chris Jericho (LEAVING AFTER NOC) Edge Undertaker (ONLY A MATTER OF TIME) Kane (LIKE HE'LL BE MAIN EVENTING A YEAR FROM NOW!)
That's pretty much it. They can really use one title, I think it would be a great change of pace. This storyline with an undisputed title would go hand in hand with a Cena heel turn lol

really good first post man, welcome to WF. The brand split never really worked the way it was supposed to, and I think the problem with that is that they never really wanted to make RAW and SmackDown completely different. For a little while they did the 'RAW is a soap opera, SmackDown is the wrestling show' thing in 02-03 but it fell by the wayside after a while and then once they started the draft lottery the whole split itself was meaningless. I agree partly, I don't think that they never wanted to make them different, I just think they didn't know how to make them different. The spilt never work ideally because for better or worse, we knew that Smackdown was WWE's B show, and never stood out on it's own. I don't think the draft lottery was completely meaningless, either. They knew they were switching people to other brands to help keep things moving, it was like when a new season of shows start. On TV the draft lottery was nothing more then a way to easily explain why people switch, without ever doing any explaining. The ideas behind it were in the right place, but like the separate brands, it never really work just they way they wanted to. I think at first the lottery was smart in 04 and 05 but after 2007 when they did it every year and moved the exact same guys, it became pointless. I never understood why they didn't just use the idea of trades more.

Why do people complain about there being too many guys to unify the World Title, but then go around and start complaining that the titles mean nothing?
I'm all for unifying the two World Titles. Sure, they have a gigantic roster but it will make the title WAY more special. I mean, it's not like these title reigns help the young guys out THAT much. Look at Jack Swagger. He isn't doing anything anymore. Winning the big one (rather than one of the big ones) is much more meaningful and special. Besides, there were a ton of great wrestlers in the 80's and 90's who were good enough to win a World Title but didn't. It only made the belt more prestigious.
What I DON'T agree with though is unifying the IC & US straps. If you're going to unify the World Titles, those two belts are automatically elevated a ton. They should be the only brand exclusive belts, and when the Undisputed Title is being defended on the other brand, they can serve as their own brand's main title. Say that the title is being contested by Raw guys on PPV. Then the main Smackdown title match could be for the Intercontinental Championship.
With that said, I don't believe this for a second.

There should be the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, Intercontinental and United States Championships. and the Womens and Tag Team titles.
That way theres two major titles on each brand and then the Tag Team/Womens would be defended on each show

If they just unify the womans and tag thats fine. If they unify them all, thats fine to.
I dont know why people think you have to fire 15-20 guys just because you only have 4 titles for the entire company.
I have watched WWE from 1982-now, and in the 80's and early 90's the only titles they had were Worlds, IC, Tag, Womans
and everything was great with a much bigger roster than there is now.
So either way it will work. But I think its only right to unify the tag and womans. They dont currently have a tag division like they did in the 80's and 90's, and the woman really arent good enough to be clogging up two titles worth of television.
But if they unify them all, it will still work out. You still have to have a lot of people on the roster.
People to lose to the rising stars and champions, talent to fill the IC and tag title scene, people to contend against the world champ, some familiar contenders and some new.
they could literally unify every title and keep their entire current roster. and I feel it would add a bit more prestige to the titles that remain. When there are a bunch of titles whos to say which one is really important.
I mean how can there be 2 worlds titles. Its the worlds title and last i checked its just the worlds title for this planet, which there is ONE of. So, there should only be ONE WWE Worlds title.

This is ridiculous. The women need 2 belts and the men too cos it's not fair to the other brand unless they allow wrestlers to switch brands all the time.

Oh God not loving this idea at all. The Tag was good but I already hate the women's/diva's being United. And the IC/US and then WWE/WHT! that. It'll be Cena, Orton, HHH, Edge, and like 3 others all the time.

Good idea now lets drop the brands and fire a quarter of the roster. Sounds good. Start off by letting Hornswoggle, Primo, and Santino go.
