Kurt Angle is the new CHAMP!!!!

^ The only explanation for that is that you have to realize wrestling's all bullshit storylines, so sometimes shit doesn't make sense.
When they bought WCW, the WCW title was so prestigious that they couldn't just trash it, so they continued on having people win the title and being world heavyweight champ. The WWE Title was called the "WWE champ" or whatever, and they've flirted around doing things like unifying the belts, etc. but ultimately, it doesn't make any sense to have two champs. The funniest thing is, that for the last few years, they've acted as if the title that was defended on RAW was the 'big' title, and that was often the old WCW title. It's really pretty confusing and redundant... but with the brand split, it was easier for them to explain two belts since one was defended on Smackdown and one on Raw. They need to seriously bring back the WCW Televison title belt. The Television title belt was brought around to be defended, weekly, on the television show and not just the pay per views. They should bring that belt back, it's a great idea. For a while, they even had the cruiserweight belt 'retired' which was a travesty of justice.
The ABSOLUTE most confusing thing is that they have two tag team championships. I don't even know what the fucking difference is in what they call them, and I don't remember them holding the WCW tag belts over from the wcw purchase. It makes no sense at all, especially when you have mixed ppv's when they introduce 4 different people as being tag champ.
As for Kurt Angle, he's the greatest wrestler alive today and of course deserves the title belt whenever he wins it. He works his ass off in ever match and is a truly gifted wrestler. I'm a big Batista fan, though... even though Batista isn't the greatest wrestler, he has a ton of charisma, and has a very intelligent ring/promo psychology.

:sshh: , that's not an explanation, you're just whining because you can't understand but IT IS that simple... Since they have a lot of superstars and want to use them all, there are 2 brands: Raw, and Smackdown. Raw's world champ and Smackdown's WWE champ got traded, so now the WWE champ is Raw's champ and the World champ is Smackdown's champ, that also prevent Smackdown from looking like the B-Show...
Since Raw and Smackdown are separated, there are champions for each brands... The Raw teams only face each other for the World Tag Team championship belts, while Smackdown's teams only have WWE's tag team championship belt.
At Raw, there is the Wwe champion, the Intercontinental Champion, The tag team champions and the womens champion
At Smackdown, there is the World Champion, the U.S title, and Cruiserweight title
You talk about beign too many titles? At one time, there was the World title, the Intercontinental title, the Européan title, the hardcore title AND the Tag Team titles, for only one brand
It's one thing to be uninformed, but it's another thing for people like you who enjoyed wrestling when there was Kamala, Goldust, Hogan... come in EVERY wrestling thread to complain how much it sucks now because it's too different. Why don't you just stop watching it if you hate it that much? And if you don't watch it? How do you know it sucks that much?
Now back to the wrestling topic...
I think it's great to have Angle FINALLY winning the World title, it will make his feud with HBK more important, or maybe we can have a dream match with Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle @ Wrestlemania or have Rey Mysterio in the Spotlight FINALLY, he deserves it, did he ever had a boring match?

^ Suck a dick.
I'm not complaining about wrestling. Where did I? I just said it was stupid to have two world champions. ... and it is. You say it's easy to explain, then why were there two belts even before the brand split? ... ? It's stupidity. You also refused to acknowledge that they have two sets of tag team champions with the same title names. They're all 4 referred to as tag team champions. It's silly.
Have I ever said I enjoy Kamala? Or Golddust? No. You don't even know who the fuck I am and you're telling me who I like and don't like. Get a grip.
On top of that, I gave Kurt Angle, AND Batista props in this thread, but yet you say I don't like wrestling and complain about it.
Apologize for lying about me, bitch.

The only reason it's stupid to have 2 world champs is because they're not treated fairly. Smackdown is like a secondary brand and therefore their title seems secondary. That's why on PPV's the Raw championship is always the main event. Even during Survivor Series. Cena was defending his title, while Batista was in the Survivor Series match. Yeah, Batista was injured, but the Smackdown belt deserves to be defended too.
The reason 2 tag titles are ridiculous is because the tag team divisions for both brands are watered down. Combine all the teams and then you may have a good tag team division.
As for the title change, great move on WWE's part. They continue to surprise the fans which is what we've been wanting for years. I'm sad that Batista doesnt go to Wrestlemania since he was a great champ and fans like him. I guess Angle is on Smackdown, which disappoints me because I'm never home Friday nights. Maybe they'll combine the titles again like it was back on 2001-2002 when HHH and Undertaker used to be on both brands.
