Every year I hope they add new & returning titles to WWE games. WWE 2K22 seen the return of the World Lightweight title & debut (?) of the big green WWE title. So here's some titles I'd hope or want to see.

WWE Women's Championship (early 1990s)

Seriously, why isn't this title in the games?

WCW Women's Championship

Evolve Championship

WWE owns it so why not use it? Incorporate it in the games with BCW.

Evolve Tag Team Championship

World Heavyweight Championship (Vegas)

Never made it to tv but the Rock's ugly belt did. I kind of like this WWE take on Big Gold

NXT Women's Championship (2022)

I'd be surprised if these aren't in.

NXT Championship (2022)

AWA World Heavyweight Championship

WRESTLING EYE: APRIL 1993

Sting: CATCH HIS RISING STAR!!

By Steve Mueller

It seemed that when Sting lost his WCW world title to Big Van Vader, he lost more than just a championship belt. He lost his reputation and his status. In that match’s conclusion, the Stinger was literally destroyed by Van Vader’s power bomb. The face painted gladiator was so completely beaten by Vader that it seemed his run as a major star in American wrestling rings was definitely finished. It was the kind of loss that forces wrestlers to leave a promotion.

And then when Ron Simmons defeated Vader for the gold, convincingly, it seemed that there was no question. Even among his most devoted fans, that Sting’s time in the spotlight had definitely passed. Wrestling journalists wrote stories about Sting’s coming fade into oblivion. His almost story book career was discussed and then written off as just another example of a guy who electrifies the wrestling world for a time, and then passes, sometimes for inexplicable reasons, into obscurity.

Then the situation worsened. Sting’s lackluster performance against Jake Roberts at Halloween Havoc in a match that has come to be universally labeled as a travesty only seemed to cement the speculation that Sting’s star had crashed. After all, the face painted gladiator had had two runs as world champion and neither had been successful draws at the gate. And drawing fans into an arena is the only true measure of success in the modern wrestling world. 

Rumors began to circulate that Sting was headed to the World Wrestling Federation. In the “Pro Wrestling Today” television talk show in New York, it seemed every other question asked by a fan was “When is Sting going to the WWF?” Insiders, however, knew there was no chance that Sting would suddenly appear on “Superstars”, brandishing a tube of makeup, and proclaiming himself to be “Real Grease-painted Hero.” Sting’s contract with WCW is both ironiclad and Watts-proof, and, with Hulk Hogan on the sidelines, it is the richest in the mat sport. 

Then other rumors began to circulate that Sting would become the highest paid tag team wrestler in the history of the sport. When the Ultimate Warrior quit/was fired from the WWF in November, respected experts such as Professor Victor Chirel, noted academician and wrestling historian, predicted that the Warrior would eventually sign a contract with WCW and reform the Blade Runners tag team with his one-time partner Sting. 

“The Ultimate Warrior was never that successful as a singles draw,” said Professor Chirel. “Even when he was WWF world champ, he had very little drawing power. And now that any potential Sting had to become a major draw is definitely finished, I predict Sting and the Warrior will become a team again in the hope of salvaging their careers. Together, Sting and the Ultimate Warrior have the chance to become the Road Warriors of the nineties. Individually, at least in the majors, their careers are over.”

[Sting battles Rick Rude in a classic confrontation.]

For a time, most insiders and experts agreed with Professor Chirel. Rumors surfaced weekly that, after he appeared on a few independent shows as “the Man Who Used to be Called the Ultimate Warrior” because of WWF contractual restrictions, the Warrior was about to join WCW. Like Professor Chirel, longtime fans remembered the Blade Runners, the vehicle through which Sting and the Warrior first came if not to national prominence, then at least to national attention. 

In the mid-eighties, Cowboy Bill Watts brought the face- painted duo to his legendary Mid-South promotion and the rest is history. Since Watts is now head honcho at WCW, it is easy to see how speculation arose that the Blade Runners team would be reformed, perhaps under another name. 

And many experts thought the reformation of the Blade Runners was a good idea. “Frankly, I’m tired of Sting,” said veteran ringside physician Dr. Gary Dunn. “As far as I’m concerned, and I’ve been studying the mat sport for over thirty years, Sting no longer has a future as a singles star. As for the Ultimate Warrior, I’m not sure he ever had a future as a real star in singles competition. However, put Sting and the Warrior together and you have some real possibilities. The whole, in this case, would surely be greater than the sum of its parts.”

[Sting is always a crowd pleaser.]

“I agree with Doctor Dunn,” says Kim Hostetler, screen actress and wrestling fan. “I always thought Sting’s talents were more suited to tag team competition. When you think about it, Sting and that Ultimate Fellow have basically the same blend of as the legendary Road Warriors. Sting has the high flying aerial skills like Hawk. The Warrior would be the power guy on the team just like Animal. Hey, Cowboy Bill Watts should get this going right away.”

But as Christmas 1992 came and went, and speculation began to grow that Bill Watts might not be around WCW much longer because the promotion was sinking deeper and deeper into red ink. It became obvious that the Warrior was not going to join WCW. The inside story was that WCW could not give the Warrior the kind of contract he demanded–one that paid big bucks. Billy Watts’ austerity program had eliminated large guaranteed contracts. The Warrior just laughed at WCW’s offers. 

[Sting is used to doing battle outside the ring.]

It seemed that a reunion with the Warrior was not going to save Sting’s career. The second most famous wrestler from Venice Beach seemed doomed to fade into the shadowy world of oblivion. Then a strange thing began to happen. 

Sting, though it happened very slowly at first, began to recapture some of the magic that had electrified fans earlier in his career. His matches became more focused and he began using more of the aerial style that had been his trademark before a serious knee injury had almost ended his career. 

Amazingly, suddenly it wasn’t just kids and young women who were chanting Sting’s name at ringside. Hardcores joined the chorus. Somehow, being cast in the role of the underdog had done wonders for Sting’s charisma. Facing adversity and not giving up had made him kind of a “People’s Champion.”

[The Stinger knows how to hurt his opponents.]

A series of glitzy wins, and like unexpected lightning, Sting was back near the top of his profession. 

In December and January, TV ratings of WCW programs began a return to respectability. Silent hope is growing in the executive offices of Turner Broadcasting that WCW may indeed still have a future on TBS. And it is no accident that this rise in the ratings coincides with Sting’s own return to prominence. The coming months will tell the story not only of Sting’s future, but of the future of WCW itself. Stay tuned, this one is going to get interesting.

Idk about y'all but this new design is fookin' ugly. This is the old WCW heavyweight title "updated" with that big ass WWE logo in the middle. They should've just brought back the big gold belt instead of concocting this monstrosity 😒.

WRESTLING ALL STARS: Heroes and Villains OCTOBER 1991

Big Sid makes WWF debut

“My Name is Justice Now!” 

By Frank Amato

“Sid Vicious rules the world!’, boasted Sid  Vicious before and after his matches while appearing for World Championship Wrestling. He received few arguments from opponents or the wrestling fans. The fact that Sid never wore a championship belt is a moot point. Not that he never received a championship match. He did, several times, in fact. When Sting wore the WCW World Heavyweight Championship big Sid tried without success to garner the gold. Lex Luger defended his U.S. belt against Sid. No belt there either. Even as a member of The Four Horsemen, Sid teamed with Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Ric Flair in trying to strip Doom of the World Tag Team Championship. It never happened.

[Sid stuns Scott Steiner with a knee lift to the jaw!]

[Along with being a top-notch wrestler, Sif is also an amateur chiropractor!]

So many chances in so many cities. How do you figure it? The Four Horsemen usually get what they go after. Not this time. Maybe this was the catalyst that made Sid refuse a lucrative contract offer from World Championship Wrestling and accept the contract from World Wrestling Federation. Nobody turns down a whopping $350,000 offer (Which is what WCW supposedly offered) Unless big Sid was assured of a shot at the WWF Heavyweight Championship.

[Sid hopes he’ll soon get a crack at the WWF Heavyweight Championship!]

[Sid seems crazed with bloodlust as he continues to punish Steiner’s neck!]

Since Sid has changed his name from “Vicious” to “Justice,” and now wrestles on the side of law and order, he looks forward to wrestling side by side, as an ally, with the great HUlk Hogan. If Hulk should lose the strap (or retire and vacate the title), you can bet your bottom dollar that Sid will be among the first in line to fill the void. 

[Sid whips Scott Steiner across the ring!]

[Some of Sid’s most classic WCW battles were against Lex Luger!]

[Back in the days when Sid’s last name was Vicious, he was a top contender for World Championship Wrestling.]

[Sid, in the glory of his own victory. That’s Barry Windham in the background.]

Sid Justice stands 6’9” and 320 pounds on a well muscled torso, without an ounce of fat anywhere. If there is one extra ounce of fat it must be well hidden under his fingernails. 

The emergence of Sid Justice in the WWF supposedly set for September, may have him come just at the right time. The Hulkster has been wrestling near nonstop in the WWF since first becoming champion in January 1984, except for taking time off for a movie and recuperating from two injuries. One in 1985 from King Kong Bundy and the other by Earthquake early last year. The battles have been hard fought. The Hulkster has been showing signs of slowing down. He has suffered broken ribs and an injured back. He failed to overpower The Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania VI, the night he lost his second championship reign. On the night it was youth overcoming experience. Even against Earthquake, Hulk had hard times. Sid is also younger than The Hulkster and possibly stronger. Then there is the hunger/ Sid is hungry. He wants a championship, Bad!

The WWF has been looking for someone with the skills and popularity to replace Hulk when the time comes for Hogan to hang up his wrestling shoes! It looks like the WWF might have just found that man–and his name is now Sid Justice!

The problem with different championships in WWE

You know what I really don't like about the brandsplit separate titles schtick? One brand's titles are made to feel important, while the other brand's titles are made to be an afterthought.

The Universal Championship feels like a big deal and is made to be important with legit matches. The WWE Championship? Not so much. It's had great champions in recent years, decent matches that don't really feel important, but it's not at the same level as the Universal Championship. Neither Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley nor Big E can be allowed to feel as big or important as Roman Reigns. I don’t get it. Why isn’t the WWE Championship, the company’s biggest belt with a lineage and history going from Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Austin, Rock, HHH, Brock Lesnar and you get the picture. Why is a Championship, that was once the company’s crowning achievement that goes all the way back to the 1960′s, treated less important than a belt that only existed since 2016? Call me old fashioned, but this should not be happening. Imagine if WCW stayed in business and had two separate titles. The Big Gold Belt, which has been around for a long ass time and the WCW Big Bang Champion, which was created in oh, say 2001 or 2002. See how fucking stupid that is?

The Woman's title scene is a disaster. First of all, WHY are they just called the Raw and Smackdown's Women's Championships? One should be the WWE World Women's Champion and one should be the Women's Evolution Championship. But the belts don't look different. One is red and one is blue. Ever since Becky left, the Raw Woman's Champion was never allowed to feel as important as the Smackdown's when Bayley ran shit. Asuka barely ever defended her championship. Then they treated Rhea as an afterthought. Nikki Cross as champion was a disaster for a gimmick that was booed out the building in weeks. Only when Charlotte returned was the title given the time it deserves. As for the Smackdown Woman's Champion, it seems like since Bayley lost it, it lost importance. Sasha was kept in a feud with Carmella that was ridiculous. Than fucking Reginald... The feud with Bianca. The feud itself was poorly built, but the match was great. Had a great feud with Bayley, although the laugh felt like it was designed to make Bianca look weak. Same problem with Bianca. Terrible feud with Carmella. Then Becky dethroned her and became Becky Cringe...sorry Big Time Becks. The belt got it's mojo back. Apparently these belts are only allowed to feel important again once Charlotte and Becky are both champion. And then the disaster title switch happened. I don't have to tell you this was a terrible idea to begin with and lead to a disaster backstage. But switching belts and making them feel worthless is not a good look.

US and IC Titles. The US Title feels prestigious. The IC Champion feels like an afterthought. I honestly forgot Shinsuke was still champion. I remembered that Damian Priest was still champion, but if I remember one is champion and the other isn't, that's a problem. Come to think of it. The IC title has been treated like an afterthought FOR A LONG TIME and I don’t need to go into detail on why this is a big problem!

Tag Titles. The Raw Tag Titles feel worthless and I honestly cannot stand RK-Bore. The Smackdown Titles have little value, but The Usos are there to give value to them. For the love of god, just fucking unify the belts! If the Women’s Tag Titles can be on both brands, I see no reason why the men’s tag titles can’t be one set of belts....speaking of. 

The Women’s Tag Titles. Here’s the problem with the Women’s Tag Titles. The division is dead. EVERY team in the woman’s tag division was either broken up or one partner or both was released. And I can’t help but feel that Rhea tagging with Nikki was a goddamned demotion for Rhea Ripley. Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox beat Nattie and Tamina 3 FUCKING TIMES and never once got their title shot and Vince broke them up. Name one team that isn’t a thrown together at the last minute that could contend for the titles. You can’t can you? THAT’S THE PROBLEM, VINCE!

24/7 Championship. This belt has worn out it’s welcome. It got old fast and lost it’s fun quick. It’s not funny anymore. Seeing the job squad chase after R-Truth, Reggie or whoever is just a chore to sit through watching on Raw every week. With the success of AEW’s TNT Championship, I really wish WWE had a Television Championship instead of the joke 24/7. The WWE has never had a Television Championship and I feel like that was a damn shame.  A TV title could have a guaranteed weekly title match clause, which would not only make for great viewing, but could give some of WWE’s workhorses time to shine as singles stars, on a much larger scale. Instead of a bad redundant comedy angle, it would be a great way to weekly show off the talent that is rarely used and like I said the WWE has never had a Television Championship, so it would surely be better to have than the 24/7 title. or hell, why not a WWE Network Championship? Would be a great way to boost views on their YouTube and WWE Network and give more exposure to those who never make it on Raw or Smackdown. 

I feel having two separate champions is okay, but the way they present them is terrible. Also having your world champions look the same, just in different colors is terrible. 

I hate to compare to AEW, but AEW has proven you can have a big roster, but have one set of belts AND IT WORKS!  

We really don’t need 13 belts.
