Difference between World Championship & WWE Championship?

[MikeRaw]

how is it a different belt dude...i remember it dude...Booker came over with it and then it was unfied and then Bisch brought it back and gave it to Trips.

So how is the belt differnet man.

Wrong.
Booker came over with the WCW belt, yes.
But then, it got unified to the WWE title.
But the belt Bischoff brought back was a brand new belt. No previous history. They used the same look, but it was a new name, and they said time and time again, it wass a different belt. the WCW belt went into the WWE undisputed title. Bischoff didn't bring it back, he brought in a new belt.

if they did that then why wouldnt they just bring in a new belt..

because the look of the belt is more prestigous than hte WWE belt

Ya, i like the look better too.
but ya, it's a fact, the ccurrent WHC is a different belt than the old Big Gold Belt, and has a whole different history of champions. Just the same look.
It's alright though man, just a mistake.

 

[edgehead09]

yea, its jsut weird that they would do that then man..

well good discussion

we should team up man

I think they are both equal, the WWE Title means a little more than the World Title, but as Mikeraw said the World title is on the A show so it evens it out

well good discussion

That's why I made it lol.

I still think the WWE title has more prestique and history since the WHC is "technically" a title that is a few years old, kinda like TNA's title (forgot NWA is no longer associated with them huh?).

The WWE title changes, most things do. Sports teams changed their logos yet they're still recognized as the same team. That's my thought on the history.

One thing missed was, could any main eventer be either WHC or WWE Champ with no problem? Is it possible to only be considered a World Champion and not a WWE Champion?

The WWE belt is more prestigious. Just listen to the WWE descriptions...

The WWE Championship is widely recognized as the most historic championship in sports-entertainment. Dating back to 1963, the WWE Championship was first awarded to Buddy Rogers after he defeated Antonino Rocca in the finals of a tournament in April. Since that time, the biggest names in the business have held the WWE Championship, including Bruno Sammartino, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, The Rock, Stone Cold and many more.

The World Heavyweight Championship was brought to Raw by then-General Manager Eric Bischoff after WWE Champion Brock Lesnar became exclusive to SmackDown. Bischoff awarded the championship to Triple H, but he had to defend it against his then-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, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio and more.

As far as the WWE is concerned, the WWE belt is more historic and thus the top belt. The WHC is not considered the same belt from the WCW days and only has a history dating back to 2002.


Even if they did consider WCW, the WWE belt would still be the top belt. Its the belt both Hogan and Austin held. The two top guys to ever wrestle in North America.
