The kind of tragic thing is that wouldn't look out of place in the current WWE Universe whatsoever.

Lets hope this builds to summerslam
If Bryan was jobbing to Cena/Orton I'd have a huge problem - However he's having a really great series of matches that are putting him over against another very talented wrestler in Punk (Hell the Sheamus 2/3 match was really good and Bryan ran the match and was in complete control)
I'm worried Punk will turn heel and fued with face Kane who has been manipulated by the little girl - There's sill the rumours of Punk/Big Show Summerslam for the title
I have a believe the WWE is very high on Bryan, I mean he got a promo time with Vince himself (all be it Vince kinda burying him in Vince's way) and jumped from one title run/feud right into another top title feud - I feel he'll get the title, but then again who cares? The title means nothing in WWE these days anyway (hell Sheamus is heavily hinted at holding it for a whole strawberry floating year, the guy still won't be good enough to be the title holder at the end), it's not the goal anymore, the goal is to job to Cena in a main event, that's the new glass ceiling.
It's like WWE thought they'd give the people what they want, no Cena as champ, then turned around and made Cena main event every PPV is the big story - yet go to TNA and the title is huge and the vast majority of the roster are doing all they can to get a shot, let alone win it

The world heavyweight belt is lucky nowadays if it isn't OPENING the PPV.

See, you're making that mistake of paying attention to storylines again.

It's no surprise really, WWE burying that WCW title

Amazingly despite their efforts (and the efforts by WCW towards the end) I still regard the WCW title as more meaningful than the current WWE title. I think because the title design has changed so little, it gives that connection to history much better than the WWE title does with it's many redesigns. It's great when you can look back and see guys like Flair, Hogan, Sting, Savage, Hart, Goldberg etc all holding pretty much the same belt in their prime.

Love the belt, kinda why I really like the TNA title, reminds me of the WH Title.
For me, the WWE title IS NOT the WWE title;' it's the John Cena title, and always will be - They have to change it if they want to move on from this phase - this site is fantastic for a look back at the WWE title WWE title history (in images)
For me, this will always be the WWE title I picture in my head
