I still think to this day they have too many titles. Do you really need to World titles? WWE and the World?
Titles don't mean as much when almost everyone on the roster has one.
That's the law of diminishing returns...
Just have 1 brand, 3 titles, and keep the belts on one group/team for at least several months at a time.
A unification tourney would probably help reestablish some credibility to the belts from a story-line perspective.
Remember the final match of WM4, when they had Robin Leach carry out the H-W title on an elegantly framed display case upholstered with red velvet?
Then, Macho came to the ring with his $8K sequinned robe accompanied by Liz in her designer dress and dripping with diamond-encrusted jewelry.
Talk about presentation!
Contrast that with the guys who walk to the ring carrying the belt in their hand, holding it down by their waist with one strap dragging on the ground.
Yeah, it worked for Austin, but for everyone else..."you ain't Austin."
Just wear the fcuking belt!
Jerome Bettis doesn't carry his Super Bowl ring in his pocket when attending events.
You W-E-A-R THE BELT.
