Well the title situation was OK if you ask me until the draft. Once the draft happened it looked like WWE rushed to put the belts on everybody who got drafted, CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry, that is more than half of the singles titles in the WWE. It justs seems to me that once all these new guys got drafted over WWE was like, put the belts on him, him and him and it's like the only reason they drafted them. I reckon once the titles go off the draftees to other people it will go back to normal and this is porbably just a bad spell over a couple of months with crappy title reigns.

Hate it most when a wrestler dominates everyone in their division and then they're put in a match up where there's more then one opponent and they lose the title to someone with no build up ie. Hawkins and Ryder.

Miz and Morrison owned everyone in the tag title division, then when they face three other teams they lose. Why? Because the writers didn't build anyone up to beat them. Every week on SD, they'd kill Moore and Yang when it came to tag matchs, fuck singles! They could beat one but they couldn't beat the team. There's no build up anymore, guys are just winning titles ie. Santino, Punk.

Change up on the competitors are good, multi champions (ie. 5 time champ becoming 6 time champ) aren't good anymore. There's a new audience watching, so they'd like to see new guys winning titles, not another win for a multi champion. But that's me.

I agree with your point but you can't really apply that to Punk as him holding the MITB briefcase is in some ways building up to him winning a title, maybe not in the way you would like, but if you hold that briefcase, history says at some point you are going to be champion.

Anyway, titles changing too often. People moan when people like cena for example, hold the WWE championship for months and months at a time, and now you complain about them changing hands too quickly, like cenamark says, people have a short attention span and get bored quickly, also it appears the WWE has been trying to make things seem a bit more unpredictable recently, whether it suceeds all the time is debatable (priceless twist at NoC for example) and titles changing hands is one of their ways of making this unpredictable product, unfortunately this leads to belts like the IC, US losing their prestige as there is no build up to them which is a real shame considering the great rivalries in the past that were build around and for belts like these, i wish we could see this sort of thing again but it seems unlikely.

So yes, belts do seem to be changing a bit too often, but if it means a more twists and turns that keep me interested and pushes people that deserve it (Santino - genius) then i for one don't mind too much

Fixed. That is why Kennedy was never champion, he was never any good

That is a good point. Iv seen over the last few months the IC title change hands non stop between the Glamazon, Santino and Kofi kingston. Its stupid and also the WHC has changed has quite regularly lately. There used to be champions who reigned for months and months and it was good, the only person to keep up to date with that is HHH.

What the hell show have YOU been watching?

Kofi won the IC @ Night Of Champions and lost it to Santino @ Summerslam.... And Beth never won it at all.

I just wanted to point out 2 people still got there title...Cody Rhodes is still one half of the tag team champions...just..his partner is differnt lol..

But hey its good kinda but if they change to much then it makes the champions look weak but to me there changing at a good pace...so I mean no need to worry really.
