Oh wait, “Vacated” isn’t the name of a WWE Legend / SuperStar??
The WWE Championship has been vacated 9 times in its rich history.
1. Antonio Inoki – Inoki immediately vacated the title after a rematch with Backlund ended in a no contest.
2. Andre The Giant – Immediately after winning the title from Hogan, André sold the title to DiBiase; President Jack Tunney nullified this decision, and vacated the title.
3. Hulk Hogan – Hogan was stripped of the title by Tunney due to the controversy surrounding both of the previous title changes. This aired December 7, 1991.
4. Shawn Michaels – Michaels forfeited the title due to a knee injury.
5. Stone Cold Steve Austin – Vacated after Kane and The Undertaker simultaneously pinned Austin in a triple threat match. A subsequent match for the vacant title at Judgment Day: In Your House between Kane and The Undertaker ended in a no-contest.
6. Vince McMahon – McMahon vacated the title.
7. John Cena – Vacated when Cena suffered a torn right pectoral tendon on the October 1 edition of Raw.
8. Batista – Vacated when Batista suffered a torn left bicep.
9. Daniel Bryan – Vacated after a controversial finish between Bryan and Orton the previous night at Night of Champions.
Look at this list of names. These are some of the greatest WWE SuperStars in the history of the WWE. Granted Batista might not be on everyone’s Top 10 list, but being that his Filipino, he’s at least in my Top 20, maybe Top 10, but nothing higher than # 10.
Anyway, to resolve the vacant WWE Championship Title Belt issue, we have had Title changes go unrecognized, Two 14 – Man (why 14??) tournaments (WrestleMania IV and Survivor Series 1998), a Royal Rumble Title match, a Fatal Four Way Elimination match, a Six-Pack Challenge, the richest prize in this industry simply being awarded to a SuperStar, and a Fatal Four Way match.
My questions are:
Which one was your favorite way of filling in the vacancy??
If you were VKM, how would you decide the next WWE Champion?? Would you go with anything that’s already been done?? Do you have a new, fresh, and innovative idea to execute?? Do you just give every WWE SuperStar a copy of the Belt with their respective side plates?? WrestleMania Series?? I’m just kidding. Maybe they should just retire the WWE Belt and use the World Title as the main Championship in the company.
If the WWE were to go with one of the previously used ideas, here’s how I would do it.
14 – Man Tournament – First of all, I do not like 14, but if I did, I guess Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton should get the byes. Secondly, I would only include former WWE / World Champions from the current roster. The 14 SuperStars are: Big Show, Christian, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, The Great Khali, Jack Swagger, Kane, Mark Henry, The Miz, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam, and Sheamus. I would then have Daniel Bryan become the first SuperStar to vacate the WWE Championship and then regain it. I know Triple H did this with the World Championship, but a SuperStar has never regained the WWE Championship right after vacating it.
Royal Rumble Title match – I think the Royal Rumble is too far away to use to fill in the vacancy. Then again, they could always just use the World Title as the Top Title till January.
Fatal Four Way Elimination match – I would have to go with Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Triple H, and John Cena.
Six – Pack Challenge – I would have to go with Booker T., Brock Lesnar, John Cena, The Rock, Triple H and the Undertaker. Just kidding. I wouldn’t do a Six – Pack Challenge, unless it was Corona.
Award the WWE Championship Title to someone – I would use this as a way to get Chris Jericho back to the WWE. Hell, I might strip Alberto Del Rio of the World Title and crown Chris Jericho as the Undisputed WWE World Champion.
Fatal Four Way match – I would just go with who I picked for the Fatal Four Way Elimination match.
As for a new way to handle what’s best for business, I’m thinking Extreme Elimination TLC Chamber, where you can only win by grabbing the Championship hanging from the ceiling of the Elimination Chamber, only after all 6 SuperStars have entered the match. Hey, it’s better than the Ready To Rumble Triple Cage!!
