Kurt's does count. If it didn't Jericho wouldn't be the first undisputed champion because that's when the titles was merged. I'm not sure about 3D.

From a kayfabe perspective... as long as a title's lineage can be traced back to the promotion from which the title belonged, it's legit. From a legal perspective... as long as the company using the foreign title gets permission from, or buys out the promotion the title originated from, it's legit. Such is true in the case of the Dudleyz being WCW Champions in WWE. The Dudleys were 'WCW' tag team champions in name only, but WCW tag team champions nonetheless.

Ok... then using your logic, RVD, The Big Show, Lashley, Morrison and CM Punk weren't (or aren't, in Punk's case) really ECW world champion  |

Yes they are ECW champions, as Vince bought ECW, and has the belt. The lineage of the belt can be traced back to the origional ECW, and Vince owns the rights. At anytime, Vince could bring out any WCW belt, and *sadly*, it would be legit. |

The lineage of the WCW belts could be traced back to the original WCW that Vince owns the rights to.... how is this any different? |
