I wasn't saying that Unifying the Tag Belts was a bad thing, if you read my post. I was saying that, IMO, unifying the WWE and the World Heavyweight Titles would be a bad thing.
Ok, it might sound good, but when you think about it, it's really not. Think of the long, long list of people who would be fighting over it, it would actually decrease competition. There'd end up being 4 or 5 guys - Triple H, Batista yada yada, who'd get it, and the likes of CM Punk and Jeff Hardy wouldn't even get a look in. That's surely a bad thing, no?
Also, I was pointing out...how on earth can they justify unifying the top two belts in the company, but having TWO Womens' Titles?
Well, firstly, the two diva's titles will obviously have to be merged as well, probably sooner rather than later, because it has been even more of a flop than everyone predicted.
Secondly, if you look around, the main event is already limited to about 4-5 guys. The amount of time that the world titles have been held by one of HHH, Undertaker, Edge, Batista or Cena is massively outweighs the amount of time they have been held by anyone else. When there was one world title you actually genuinely got the impression that whoever held it was at the very top of the company. Two world titles devalues the achievement as a whole. Besdies, on the odd occasion when Jeff Hardy and CM Punk and suchlike hold a world title their reigns are either extremely short lived or booked badly and spent getting beaten on by people less deserving than they are (see Batista, Dave). The argument that one title would actually create less competition is questionable to say the least, sure it would make competition tougher for those wanting to reach the top, but it wouldn't decrease competition at all.
Speaking of the WWE title, i'm hoping and praying that Orton somehow takes it from HHH at Backlash, any other result has to be considered a huge dissapointment, and a massive blow to Orton's credibility. I'm still trying to get over quite how bad the WM match was.
