for me, this is just a bandaid on a much large problem: they don't book most of the belts they already have. most of the titles don't have any value: the US belts keeps getting hot potatoed around. the IC belt doesn't get much shine. the tag divisions on both shows are horrible. the women's tag belts are..........just there. and the women's divisions on both shows are so weak, the only worth while women are becky and charlotte.
the hardcore belt was around during a time when hardcore wrestling was in, most of the belts felt important, and it was a belt that the jobbers and mid-carders who didn't have anything to do could chase after something.
