Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
Nah, I think you should go look it up. It's right there on the WWE website. Triple H is the first World Heavyweight champion man. WCW's lineage is with the WCW title, not Raw's world title.Comment

Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
But to say that "they can't win" isn't true because for the last month or so, EVERYBODY here has been on the same page about the direction they've been going in and being nothing but positive and optimistic, like how you and Indian guy are.
But because everyone is not on the same page regarding last night and that there's mixed reactions about it, "they can't win"? I can't agree with that and think that's a bit hypocritical right there.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
Nobody had a complaint about the womens title looking like the WWE title, so why is there a big fuss over the Universal title looking like the WWE title? That's what I don't get.NFL- Green Bay Packers

Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
The World Heavyweight Championship that has recently been carried by such greats as Batista and Triple H got its start in WWE back in 2002. But its prestigious lineage can actually be traced back all the way to George Hackenschmidt and 1904. For years, it was known as the NWA Championship; then when WCW pulled out of the NWA in the early 1990s, Ric Flair was recognized as the first-ever WCW Champion. Since that time, top names such as Hulk Hogan, Ron Simmons and Bret Hart carried the championship prior to WCW's demise.

Interesting. So they're combining the histories or??? Cause that passage is from the WCW championship section. The World Heavyweight title has a completely different passage and a completely different title history.
The World Heavyweight Championship was brought to Raw by former General Manager Eric Bischoff after WWE Champion Brock Lesnar became exclusive to SmackDown.
Bischoff awarded the championship to Triple H, but The Game had to defend it against his best friend, Ric Flair. Triple H was successful and has held the championship on five different occasions. Other holders of this prestigious championship include Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and Rey Mysterio.

Why would you not keep the title histories together if it's the same lineage like they did for the United States title and Cruiserweight?Comment

I think the issue is that people are now realizing that WWE has really fallen into the trap of branding to the point that EVERYTHING looks the same. It doesn't take much to make a few different touches.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
I'm sure he didn't like the crowd's reaction during the match either. WWE has to understand that while it looks great on paper, having people sit for 6 hrs for an event is going to cause burnout like we saw pretty much from the Ambrose match onwards.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Summerslam: 8/21/16
It's not a different name though. It's literally the same thing as the others. The US title is formely the WCW United States Championship, now the WWE United States Championship. The WCW Cruiserweight Championship is the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship became the World Heavyweight Championship. I'm thinking whoever wrote the article listed as the same because of it's appearance but they clearly have it separated for a reason.
Anyway, people did complain about the Women's title. Just more people have a problem with this one than they did that one.Comment
