10 Times You Couldn't Admit YOU WERE WRONG About WWE

3. *INSERT WRESTLER* Must Be World Champ

First of all, rest in peace one Bray Wyatt. The popular star was one of the most creative humans to ever lace up a pair of boots, and he'll be fondly remembered forever. It's a tragedy that he was taken so young, but it's heartening to see everyone rally round and show support for his family and friends.

Back to the actual wrestling side of things.

Bray Wyatt didn't need to be World Champion. It's lovely that he got to live that dream before it was too late, 100%, but he's indicative of a wider problem with modern-day WWE fans - they want every popular heel or babyface to get a WWE or Universal Title run when that should never the case.

World Title runs shouldn't be handed out like sweeties. If they were, then guys like Ted DiBiase, Roddy Piper, Scott Hall and Curt Hennig would've achieved multiple. The idea that "*insert wrestler here* must be World Champ at some stage" needs binned.

Not everybody can be (or should be) the top titleholder. End of story.
