Coming off what Mystique said I think there's an unwritten rule where the guild captain shouldn't be the main world champion in his own guild, at least as the 'first' champion of it anyways.
That rule is better known as "common sense". I mean, what kind of message do you send if the first thing you do is put the World title around your waist?? You're basically just telling everyone the reason why you created that guild was to add a World title to your resume. Might not be the reason, but it's hard to think otherwise when the first contact with that guild is tarnished with that...
it should be noted again that this is a more recent feeling. When EEW started, for example, Cartwright and CwP were captains and decided the world title between them, with Cartwright winning and immediately losing it to me at the first PPV. Technically, that did give EEW it's first big storyline. In retrospect, however, it probably would have been wiser for someone else to be first champ.
I can only recognize the importance of a world champ in a guild. In some way, the first champ defines your identity and is your "publicity stunt", both kayfabe and among us. In the EEW case, it seemed more like a McMahon thingy where if the power gets the title, it drops it immediately afterwards. It's more of a storyline stunt, a little shocker to bring the attention, which at that moment didn't hurt anyone.
true enough. it didn't hurt anything at that time. i think cartwright got more out of chasing the title than winning it, most of it was a** kickings and getting set on fire but it seems to have set the tone for his character with the spots he takes. and he now has a healthy fear of fire twisted
Healthy fear?! *Runs away from lit candles*
