10 Traditional Wrestling Elements WWE Completely Ignore

6. Each Champion Is Distinctive

Title belts don't mean quite as much as they used to. It's fair to say that the WWE World Heavyweight Title still holds sway with fans, because it's still portrayed as having great value, but many other belts are treated like mere props and distractions. Again, this wasn't always the case. Looking back to the early-90's, each champion of their respective division had something which defined them and kept them feel fresh and exciting. In the WWF, the Intercontinental Champion was often regarded as a workhorse, someone who would routinely have the most-revered matches on the card. Meanwhile, the WWF Champ was the poster boy, such as Hulk Hogan. There was something to differentiate both titles, and the same could be said of the way WCW presented the Cruiserweight Title. There was no way fans were going to see the same kind of match between Rey Mysterio and Dean Malenko that they would when Hogan clashed with Sting later on in the show, for example.
