Why does JR now say "World's Champion", instead of "World Champion"?... he never used to... "World's Champion", doesn't sound right - Mike Tenay says it as well... it irks me... Does anyone else find it weird?...

World's Champion sounds better because it shows ownership.

Grammatically, either is correct.

World's champion makes it seem like he is hand picked from the world and the World owns him as it's champion... World's champion sounds cooler now actually  |

But isn't "World's" plural meaning the world's champion, is a champion of not just Earth..but another world too?

So it would mean that the championship belongs to the world. If It was the "World s Champion" without an apostrophe, then that would have a plural meaning. But enough grammer lessons...I don't know the answer. What makes it all the more odd is the fact that they always call the RAW tag team titles the "World Tag Team titles," and not "World's," |

I actually prefer "World's (Heavyweight) Champion." That's what was on the old NWA title, and I think it makes the title sound a little bit more important.

They started calling it the World's Championship when Rey won it.

So it would mean that the championship belongs to the world. If It was the "World s Champion" without an apostrophe, then that would have a plural meaning. surely if it belongs the the world it would have the same rule as the word "it", seeing as the world is not a person it is an object, should there be an apostrophe? Also if it belonged to more than one world wouldn't it be worlds', with the apostrophe after the s? |
