Posted June 24, 200520 yr comment_2641277 So is this the master plan now that the WWE title is on RAW? Make another meaningless title and act like it has prestige?
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2641288 Each show still has two draft picks. One of them will be a champ, I'm predicting, and this whole tournament idea will be rendered meaningless. The only way I could see them not going that route is if they really do want to recreate ECW and they're trying to move all the guys with ECW history over to Smackdown and they'll create their own title there. I'd say chances of that are very slim.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2641330 They'll either draft Batista or the winner of the WWF Title match. If they don't do that this will be the new Smackdown title while Triple H unifies the WWF and Raw belts at Summerslam so he can be sure to have the most important belt in the company.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642100 I'm guessing Teddy will unveil the belt, it will be the World Heavyweight title and he'll proclaim the SD "title holder" is the automatic number 1 contender for the World title if they retain it til a PPV or something like that.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642159 The whole situation is so convoluted and absurd. There are better ways of progressing storylines than doing things out of shock value and rendering an entire brand as second-rate.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642267 Yeah, but this is the kind of half thought out bullshit they've become known for since the Invasion started. It just seems silly that Smackdown has been operating without a title for almost a month now.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642277 It wouldn't be silly if it was part of a storyline, like Smackdown being down and out, not having a world champion, wondering how they'll recover after losing so many stars and that sort of thing. The show should be in panic mode right now with everyone desperate and backstabbing each other until the right guy gets drafted in, comes in and calms things down, someone speaks out against him pretending to be a "savior" and voila, your first big feud.
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642329 I would've had JBL go around saying that he was now the WWF Champion since Cena left. He was carrying around the old belt during their feud so it would've made sense for him to claim it was now the default title. Then when Batista was drafted with the Raw Title you could go from there with them.
June 24, 200520 yr Author comment_2642377 Maybe they'll name the Smackdown title the International World Title. reference>
June 24, 200520 yr comment_2642381 They could milk even another storyline out of that. After the belts are unified, have The Mexicools steal the old belt and anoint Eddy Guerrero with it. He could defend it, the Mexicools could bully the announcer into announcing his matches as a title match, etc. Batista gets sick of it, and there's feud #2.
