so on SmackDown friday night the match featuring the WHC was not the main event. and tonight on Raw Miz defended his title before an hour had even gone by. it was most definatly not the main event. Why the ******** is WWE having their champions in non main event matches? if anyone remembers , this is exactly what WCW was doing before they started going down. and in my oppinion is one of the very reasons that WCW went so far down hill. now WWE is doing it and i don't understand.

Does it matter? WWE has no more competitors. It can do whatever it wants.

yes it does matter. to me at least. a match featuring the main title holders should always be the main event. always.

Your forgetting the main point, it's still a title match, no matter if it's the main event or not

Yes, it's still a title match- but any other time, it'd be the main event. Knew WWE would drop the ball somehow.

only reason why the E went with the title to open the show was to show "hey its a new year" so lets start things differently i thought it was a good show so what if the title was on first it gave people a good match in the process it doesnt happen alot the titles are actually being held onto longer then they used to be miz may be cheapening the title with his close wins but so what? hes turning into a good champion. anyways the only reason the title isnt the main event is because they want to showcase their big name draws for last sometimes its not the champ but for the most part it is... i actually liked this past raw BTW

I think it's all about how big the feud is. Barrett/Orton/Sheamus has a more storied rivalry in the ring in recent months than Miz/Morrison has.

Miz and Morrison was basically hyped by people like us who looked at the portrait as a whole, going from the start when they were tag team partners and when they split, comparing them a lot and trying to see who's going to be the Shawn Michaels and who would be the Marty Jannetty out of this heel, modern version of the Rockers and DX combined. But other than that, the build-up in front of the camera was blank, outside an altercation so small in 2009 that I don't even know if we can call that a feud.

On the other hand, Sheamus and Orton was a heated rivalry over the WWE title, and so was Orton vs Barrett with the whole Cena story going on. The three guys were really hyped for the most part of 2009, making it an easy pick to promote the whole event.

I agree that the WWE title match should have been higher on the card in terms of quality, but it didn't have that main event material build-up that the cage match had. Plus, having such a good match in the middle of the card did help to polarize the show and not have all the good stuff being concentrated in the last hour, making the whole show watchable.

I agree not putting the title matches as main events. To me it shows that they don't have to rely only on the titles. There are other main eventers who are willing and capable to step up and deliver. Like Marts said, the middle generation, the mid 20's-30's realize that there is more than meets the eye with John Morrison and the Miz. But it also proves that they don't even need heavy hitters like HHH and Big Show holding the title. Young guys who have speed and are more well rounded are getting recognized. It is shown also through the talent that they recently aquired and aloud even in NXT. Look at the next generation. The only one that I can think of on the top of my head that is more power than anything is Tyler Reks.

That is not the case, and anyone who thinks that should get an "Oops up side yo head.".

Take last year's WrestleMania. It was Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker. Mind you there was no title in that match. It was all about The Career vs The Streak. To back up the reason why it was the Main Event, cause everyone cared about the Michaels/Taker match way more then the WWE or WHC title match. NO one really cared as much to find out who won those matches compared to Michaels' and Taker's match. So the point is just cause it's a WWE or WHC Title doesn't mean it needs to be Main Event.

On the WCW side of things. To be honest it didn't matter where they put they're titles at on the card they were going down hill because of the product as a whole not cause where they put they had placed they're title matches.

if you guys are going by that logic then all titles are meaningless and should be done away with.

No... Not cause not every WrestleMania had a match like that Main Event it. It's just sometimes when matches of that magnitude are booked, sometimes it better to have them Main Event then the Title.

It's just booked by logic.

At Wrestlemania for example, who were the two biggest stars at that moment?
Undertaker and Shawn Michaels

Who had the longest build-up?
Undertaker and Shawn Michaels

Which match there was the most on the line?
Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels

What was the Main Event?
Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels

And don't tell me you'd prefer Cena vs Batista, because I'll backtrace you, report you to the cyberpolice and make sure consequences will never be the same for you!

Ha, that's funny, drop the ball. It was the first match of the new year and the countdown to the new year always has the ball drop in New York xd
