(26 Jan 2015, 11:26 pm)MurdnunoC Lesnar should have the belt in my opinion. The WHC should be something special, something for wrestlers to chase. A champion of deemed worthy of the belt should only have defend it a few times a year against an opponent deemed worthy to challenge. You have to build up your challengers as much as your champion in order to give both the belt and its holder an esteemed sense of credibility. Throwing out a random WHC title defence every month rarely achieves that - especially when its the same match over and over again.

You may find Lesnar boring (I don't), but who else is worthy of being champion? Lesnar brings dominance - and that dominance reigns supreme as he has no equal. That's the story of this particular title reign. The story ends when someone worthy comes along and convincingly vanquishes the champ to take the belt (then another story begins..). Roman Reigns was chosen to be that one beats Lesnar. Up until Summerslam, he seemed up to the task. However, after coming back, do you think he looks good enough to beat Lesnar? If not, who else could you credible built as a challenger?

If you're going to check out other promotions then you might as well start with New Japan. They're the second biggest promotion in the world and have similar production values as WWE. The language barrier may have presented a problem in the past but they've now started to produce English language TV shows. A good place to start would be the recent Dome show - the one which had Jim Ross commentating.

About the whole Lesnar thing, I can see your point there, I guess what your saying is, it should something akin to a boxing title, gets defended twice, maybe 3 times a year...I dont really have an answer to who I think is ready to take the plunge and go for it, I dont watch it as much as I did last year...

When Reigns got injured, I probably would have put him up there, my mates little lad thinks Daniel Bryan should be up there, I think Bryans day has long gone(although I do like him), I personally like Dean Ambrose, whether he could cut it or not I dont know.

Here is a question Adam, it is to more to do with the direction wrestling went when Vince cemented his position as top dog, would wrestling have been better if there had been some sort of territorial system left in place for our generation of wrestlers to ply there trade, with one world champ going territory to tertitory taking on all comers, does that make sense, I dont really have a good brain to think about things, so I rely on you to learn bits and bobs
