Remember when titles were a reward for years of hard work?

Question

Remember the days when titles were rewarded to individuals that had excelled from mid-card status to championship status? Even though we as wrestling fans know that wrestling is scripted, I think we all appreciate it when someone has dedicated themselves to the professional for years and then finally was rewarded with a world title reign. I think we all smiled a bit the first time Mankind, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and Bret Hart first won the world title, because we as fans have seen their dedication and happy to see the company reward them for their efforts.

These days it seems like the world title is dropped into the lap of whoever the business is trying to push now. Really, does the very green John Morrison really deserve the ECW title? Does the Great Khali, who has yet to learn more than two manuevers and still hasn't mastered the art of bending his knees when he walks really deserve the world title?

I definitely miss the days when the world title actually meant something.

What you said is absolutely true . We miss the action of those days when Bret and Rock were champs.., wresting was at its peak during that time, we serious miss that action with these new people around , the title changes every now and then and that too for simple reasons ..its sad of WWE.

Mid-carders are still being rewarded.

Remember the days when everyone thought people like Eddie Guerrero and Edge were grungy-looking mid-carders for life?

Exactly - two of the best Champs in recent history.

As for The Great Khali - let him have his fun.

WWE has a large fanbase in India.

It will make it all the sweeter when he loses.

Wrestling has gone to hell and the point you made is a big reason.  The other reason being that what WWE is putting out is barely wrestling anymore.  It's more of a soap-opera with a few fight scenes here-and-there.  It's ridiculous.

Yeh me too, I loved it when the interconitinental was prized more than just a title, As far as i know the two of the best respectable people are jonh cena and batista, they both treasure their titles as if its part of their family, and quite literally have defended and walked out with major injuries, huge cuts blood pouring out of their head..
