Triple H being handed the World Heavyweight Championship is very fitting. It carried on the last 2-3 year tradition WCW had for that belt, and it was fitting Eric Bischoff was the one handing out the title. At the same time, Triple H was also the number 1 contender for the WWE Undisputed Championship, meaning he has created the rest to obtain a chance to challenge the champion; but his wife hated Bischoff so much her husband wasn't allowed to compete for it.

Re: #7 - Triple H was handed the belt because a week earlier, he beat the Undertaker in a #1 Contender's match for the Undisputed Title, which was held by Brock, who had then moved to Smackdown exclusively. Undertaker won the #1 contender's match on Smackdown later that week and seeing as HHH had won the contendership to the title on Raw and was Raw exclusive, he was given the belt. That fact gets lost in time due to narratives and backstory being forgotten.

In the best-case scenario, the new WHC is a revival of the original. Then, whenever Vince is finally out, HHH retroactively acknowledges the WCW/NWA title as part of its lineage. Yes, there is still the problem of two world champions and one being more prestigious/important, but at least they would be more even. Then you can make an updated list including Russo's shenanigans.

If memory serves......regarding the blurring out of the belt in late 1991 and early 92, I don't believe the Big Gold itself ever was blurred. What WAS though was an old WWF Tag Team belt that was used as a makeshift belt for Flair to use after he was not allowed contractually to use the Big Gold any longer. The reason for that of course would be obvious.

What’s even funnier about them changing the name of the title under Rey Mysterio is that, during that same era of WWE, they gave Matt Hardy the cruiserweight title despite him being NOWHERE near a cruiserweight.

Correction: WWE merged the ORIGINAL (emphasis on the word "Original") Big Gold Belt back in 2001. God I hate it when people get such simple facts wrong. As a lifelong and forever NWA/WCW fan, show some damn respect. The one given to HHH back in 2002 was eventually modified to add a small WWE logo up top (I will never forgive them for that desecration). Andy agrees with me. I am impressed. I only say that because it seems like the majority of wrestling KZbinrs weren't even alive when WCW was around (and now I feel old at age 36.....). Also, when WWE unveiled the Universal Title (still a terrible name) back in 2016, all I could think of was just bring back the Big Gold Belt. They gave it a nice red strap when Mark Henry held it in 2010 until it was unified in 2013. I mean... It was already there!! It was already red!!!! And, despite the name change, it could/would have carried the lineage of the NWA and WCW.

WWE and it’s creative team didn’t think it all out good it seems.

Like people would probably look back on it more fondly if they would have replaced it soon after Cenas first run with it especially when like i said before he dropped the gimmic it was made for and became Hogan 2.0 like they did with the U.S. title, but that gaudy belt was the flag of the brand for so many years past its shelf life simply wore out its welcome and didn't make sense to the point that they locked the spinning logo unless a heel needed to spin it as a show of disrespect to the holder (mostly cena) to use in hype packages.

I still think the way to go would be have a WWE Champion that is the top guy both brands. He can defend on either show. Then RAW & SMACKDOWN would each have a brand champion. This champion would be the top contender for that brand against the WWE title holder. Since imho the woman's and tag team division isn't strong enough to have 3 Champions each. I would just have a single Champion that works both brands. This would basically eliminate the Intercontinental, United States, RAW & Smackdown Womans & men's tag team plus the Women's Champion of both brands. Due to having no brand only titles all women and tag teams can go to any show.
