Ömniscieɳce® Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 WWE.com recently did a poll on which championship should come back... Which championship would you like to see brought back? Source: http://www.wwe.com/inside/polls/european-or-cruiserweight-championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Obviously Cruiserweight is the better way to go. European was really nothing special. It would just be seen as a weaker version of the US title...which has nothing to do with the powers of actual countries (so, calm down)...It's just that the US title has a bigger history.

Crazy. Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 European Championship. More variety. Would be great for someone like Cesaro, while the Cruiserweight Titles restricts the number of wrestlers competing for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»highlight Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 European Championship. More variety. Would be great for someone like Cesaro, while the Cruiserweight Titles restricts the number of wrestlers competing for it. Wouldn't you want the opposite, then? The European championship could be held by anybody (so it would be just another mid-card title), while the Cruiserweight provides an entire division that we haven't seen since like 2006. Gregory Helms was GOAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European championship could be held by anybody (so it would be just another mid-card title), while the Cruiserweight provides an entire division that we haven't seen since like 2006. Exactly. There's no reason why anyone who would be going for the European title couldn't just go after the US or Intercontinental title instead. The European title could be a gimmick title for people of European origin...but that would be it. Cesaro could hold it, because he's Swiss. But then what? The Cruiserweight title could actually generate an entirely fresh division. Also, I could totally see Fandango claiming that he only weighs 225, and trying to win the Cruiserwight title...going to extreme lengths to fake his weight, etc. Comedy gold right there.

After The Rain Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 When Cesaro was US Champ, he should have trashed it and brought back the European title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rise of Nightmares Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Honestly, I'd like to see both back, but if I had to choose only one I'd go with Cruiserweight, a lot of the smaller guys could benefit from having a title to fight for.

The European championship could be held by anybody (so it would be just another mid-card title), while the Cruiserweight provides an entire division that we haven't seen since like 2006. Gregory Helms was GOAT. Well, who's to say they'll actually bother with the Cruiserweight Title too by focusing on the entire division, rather than just centering it around 2-3 guys at most at a time? Thing is, they just need to be committed to focus on the superstars with a new title; they can do it with the European Title, as well as the Cruiserweight Title - it depends on their commitment and effort more than the title. Now that I think of it, I won't mind them bringing back the Cruiserweight Title either, provided they actually make use of it, but the reason I said European Championship is because it could practically be held by anybody, and not just limited to Cruiserweights. And, yes, while the US and IC Title have the same purpose, may be the reintroduction of a new title would give them new motivation, to promote it to the newer audience?

Lmao you just booked a story in one sentence and I legit LOL'd at how awesome that would be. The Intercontinental/US titles are doing better these days in regaining a bit of prestige, we all should admit that. Yet, it's not at the point where we're ready to have another singles title. Until we get 6-10 more established/credible contenders, then there's room for more gold. That's why the unification of the Women's and Tag titles were necessary at the time - no depth. How they'd introduce these additional cruiserweights? I don't know exactly, but there were rumors of a cruiserweight-specific show (unless that just turned into NXT.)

вlueprint Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Cruiserweight Championship... no question. Guys like Tyson Kidd, Evan Bourne, Sin Cara deserve it. In fact, I think when Rey returns he should re-debut the Cruiserweight Championship and have a segment where he pretty much brings light to it and makes it official that it's back. Then he can feud with those guys for the Cruiserweight Title until he retires. It would be a nice way for the prestige to automatically be brought back to the title when brought back by Rey Mysterio and it would be a nice send off for Rey with his last match in WWE being against the next top Cruiserweight for the Cruiserweight Title.

Faster Than Light Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Would rather none of them come back to be honest. WWE can't even treat the belts they currently have with the respect they deserve. For the poll though, I pick the European title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGION Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hornswoggle should give Khali the Cruiserweight title as a present. Khali will start to defend the title and he will hold longer than Helms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGreymon77 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Both would be a terrible idea, honestly. The WWE's cruiserweight division was poorly handled, and there are already so many championships that bringing in the European title would only diminish their value even more. Right now, I see things like this: Main event: WWE Upper mid-card: World Heavyweight Mid-card: Intercontinental Tertiary (ex. WWF European; WCW Television): WWE United States That said, I wouldn't mind bringing back the European Championship after (if) they drop all of the WCW titles altogether.

Vii Kay Oh Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Cruiserweight Championship comes back and the other 90% of the roster we never see gets to shine. Remember when people like Jamie Noble were a BIG part of SmackDown! and were featured consistently and heavily? Where the wrestlers of that division got to showcase their character and show out in the ring? I rest my case. [/thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muur Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I prefer the Cruiser but I'd say bring in the European title as it would give people like Jackson and Ryan something to do as well as the cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeoalexo Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 personally, I think the cruiserweight belt should return. TNA still has the X-Division. Why can't WWE bring back their cruiserweight division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Sy™ Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Voted the Cruiserweight Championship, because it'd make for exciting match-ups and it'd elevate guys like Gabriel, Kidd, Bourne or even Yoshi (not to mention NXT talent like Pac). I loved the Cruiserweight Division, I'd love to see it back (as long as Hornswoggle stays away). The European Title is no different to the US and IC Titles, either replace the US Title with it or don't bring it back at all. Cruiserweight Championship... no question. Guys like Tyson Kidd, Evan Bourne, Sin Cara deserve it. In fact, I think when Rey returns he should re-debut the Cruiserweight Championship and have a segment where he pretty much brings light to it and makes it official that it's back. Then he can feud with those guys for the Cruiserweight Title until he retires. It would be a nice way for the prestige to automatically be brought back to the title when brought back by Rey Mysterio and it would be a nice send off for Rey with his last match in WWE being against the next top Cruiserweight for the Cruiserweight Title.
