Well guys, for those who know and those who may not have known:

The RAW Titles are the ORIGINAL WWE Titles.

That's right, RAW has the following titles:

The WWE Heavyweight Championship
(The Original WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
The World Tag Team Championship
(The Original WWE World Tag Team Championship)
The Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship
(A stepping stone towards the WWE Heavyweight Gold)
and The WWE Women's World Championship
(50 years in the making and STILL going strong)

The SD! Titles consists of the following:

The World Heavyweight Championship
(The former RAW World Heavyweight Title)
The WWE Tag Team Championship
(Introduced by Stephanie McMahon Levesque)
The WWE United States Heavyweight Championship
(The old NWA & WCW U.S. Gold & A stepping stone towards the World Heavyweight Title)
and The WWE Crusierweight Championship
(The Original WCW Crusierweight Gold)

The U.S. & CW Gold are the original WCW Titles, but what about the World Heavyweight Championship and the SD! WWE Tag Team Championship?

So guys, tell me what you think about that.

Hi Bubba here, I do not like how the new (WWE) United States Championship looks, I miss how the old one looked, with the eagle. The World Heavyweight Championship has gone through many name changes over the years.

Exactly, I mean ever since the WWE bought WCW, WWE had 7 WWE Titles, and WCW had 4 titles.

However in 2002 WWE got rid of the Light-Heavyweight Title, the European Heavyweight Title, and the Hardcore Title.

But during that year, the WWE kept the Cruiserweight Title and renamed it the WWE Cruiserweight Title

On August 26, 2002 the WWE World Heavyweight Title was no longer Undisputed, however on September 2, 2002 Eric Bischoff brought back the World Heavyweight Championship, but it was stupid that WWE decided to give Triple H the World Heavyweight Championship.

Also @ 2002's No Mercy PPV Bischoff got rid the I-C Title and on that same night, then SD! GM Stephanie McMahon Levesque, introduced the NEW WWE Tag Team Titles for SD!, that's b/c RAW has the Traditional WWE World Tag Team Titles and the Women's Title, and @ 2002's No Mercy Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle became the 1st ever WWE Tag Team Champions on the SD! Brand.

But in 2003, Stone Cold Steve Austin became co-GM of RAW, and thankfully he reinstated the Intercontinental Heavyweight Title and @ Judgment Day a new champ was crowned in a Battle Royal and Christian became a 2x I-C Champ, and @ Vengeance 2003 (which BTW became SD!'s 1st Brand PPV) Stephanie McMahon Levesque resurrected the U.S. Heavyweight Championship and on that night the late Eddie Guerrero def. Chris Benoit in the finals of the tournament and he became a 2x U.S. Heavyweight Champion.

So during that time RAW & SD! each had 4 belts, but in 2005 John Cena was drafterd to RAW and he took the WWE Heavyweight Title w/him, and on June 30, 2005 on a taping of Thursday Night Smackdown!, Batista was drafted to SD! after defeating Triple H 3 times in 3 PPV's @ Wrestlemania 21, Backlash 2005, and Vengeance 2005 inside Hell in a Cell.

and now RAW has the traditonal WWE Titles and SD! has the WCW Titles and the World Heavyweight Title and the WWE Tag Team Titles.

So my question to you all is this:
Is the World Heavyweight Title the old NWA/WCW Big Gold World Heavvweight Title and are the WWE Tag Team Titles on SD! the old WCW World Tag Team Titles or not?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Tell me what you all think about that.

I don't like how some have been changed from the originals. The orignial belts are a slice of history and are special,ruining the title and changing it around is like disrespecting history...although I like how some superstars change the titles to match their personality and style

I HATE the spinner. The other ones that they changed i don't mind. I like the US Title one. but the WHC is my favorite.

Well here's something:

Ever since 2002 the WWE decided to have the titles where wrestlers can put their names on there w/name plates, and also in 2003 Stone Cold brought back the I-C Heavyweight Gold w/the WWE logo on it and Stephanie McMahon Levesque brought back the U.S. Heavyweight Strap as well.

But let me ask you all this:

What did you think about the WWE Heavyweight Title finally coming back to RAW and joning up w/the other traditional WWE Titles?

Do you think it is a good idea for RAW to have the traditional WWE Titles?

and also, what do you think about SD! having the WCW Titles? and also what about the SD! WWE Tag Team Titles?

and what did you think about the World Heayvweight Title FINALLY going to SD! especially to keep the title away from Triple H?

and do you think it is a good idea for SD! to have the WCW Titles as well?

I mean when Vinnie Mac bought WCW they had the WCW Titles:

WCW World Heavyweight Title
WCW World Tag Team Titles
WCW U.S. Heavyweight Title
WCW Cruiserweight Title

Tell me what do you all make of that?

Hi Bubba here, I don't think Smackdown should keep using the old WCW belts. I thought he (Vince) wanted to get rid of everything WCW. Personally, I don't like the new U.S. Title.

Well just so you all know:

TNA has FINALLY created some NEW titles, and I HOPE that it will have more prestige than the current WWE Championships:

WWE Heavyweight Title
World Heavyweight Title
World Tag Team Titles
WWE Tag Team Titles
I-C Heavyweight Title
U.S. Heavyweight Title
that SORRY Cruiserweight Title
and that DREADFUL Women's World Title

How about that?

I also posted it on another topic as well.

I think that the WWE NEEDS to ditch that Spinner Title and the last time the traditional title was brought back was on the night after Unforgiven 2005 on RAW when Eric Bischoff was going to strip Cena of the title and award the belt to Kurt Angle just like he did back in 2002 when he literally gave Triple H the World Heavyweight Championship.

THANK GOD it's on SD!

Also, heer's something that I found out:

Someone told me that the World Heavyweight Title that is currently on SD! is NOT the WCW World Heavyweight Title, and that it was killed off by the WWE when they unified the WCW and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to form the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship and when Stephanie McMahon drafted Brock Lesnar to SD! w/the Heavyweight Gold it was no longer Undisputed and that title simply became the WWE Heavyweight Title and when they brought back the World Heavyweight Championship it just became simply as the World Heavyweight Championship.

also, the SD! WWE Tag Team Titles are also NOT the WCW World Tag Team Titles and that they were unified w/the traditional WWE World Tag Team Titles that are currently on RAW and so when RAW had possesion of the Tag Team Championships, Stephanie McMahon Levesque created the NEW SD! WWE Tag Team Titles, and so that's how it all started.

and like I said before in June of 2005, RAW & SD! switched titles and THANKFULLY the WWE Heavyweight Title is united w/the traditional WWE Titles and the World Heavyweight Title is united w.the SD! Titles as well.

NOW RAW is MORE WWE and SD! is MORE WCW.

Now I get it, the World Heavyweight Title and the WWE Tag Team Titles are NOT the WCW Titles, but the U.S. and CW Title ARE the WCW Titles.
