Welcome to Gaia! ::

You're the one with time as your ally or is it time forgetting you? Either way, he's alright in small doses.

YOU KNOW WHAT, I ACTUALLY THINK I GET IT:

No one understands better than WWE that the absolute worst thing you can give a human being is exactly the thing that they think they want. Drew Galloway is the epitome of the hidden genius of the artist Vince McMahon's booking, namely, the true function of the companies creative modus operandi, burying guys who don't deserve to be buried. Galloway, a midcard talent at best, was first pushed inorganically both in kayfabe and out as a main eventer then,, as a total jobber. As such his worth was compounded, tripled, no, quadrupled in the eyes of the hardcore fan. It's similar to how Daniel Bryan was actually marketed perfectly, as someone who was completely and utterly unmarketable. Is he actually unmarketable? Absolutely not. Does the WWE, corporate entity, know this? Absolutely. By intentionally misusing Drew, first in an undeserved main event push, then in an undeserved burial, the illusion was created that this performer, a Test at best, had the potential to be something bigger, something better, if only he were able to find proper support. So, from the bones of a slightly-above average Scotsman, a cult star is born.

or maybe they just decided to bury him because his wife beat him up lol who knows

I see it as this, and I'm going to start from the first WWECW champion to the last, I'm not going to do their multiple reigns..

RVD - Almost absolutely a world champion, should've won it earlier

Big Show - Already an established World Champion

Lashley - Used to elevate him, as the next big guy.

Vince - Was already a world champion prior, even though this specifically designed to put over Lashley more.

Morrison - Originally Benoit was supposed to win, we all know the story, and this win put Morrison on the map even more so than ever

Punk - WWE ECW was specifically designed to elevate Punk, and he was an established champion prior in the indies

Chavo - While I personally don't see him as a world champion, even despite his lineage, and longevity. This was a political thing, given to him because of his years of service.

Kane - Already an established world champion, nuff said

Mark Henry - While it was a shame he should've won the WHC, title sooner this 'did' elevate Henry quite a bit, and the debut of that Platinum ECW belt is pretty awesome.

Matt Hardy - Shame he could never get out of his brother's shadow, Matt Hardy DID make this championship reign work for him.

Jack Swagger - While I never saw this championship fit Swagger, in a way I can understand the 'why'. Swagger was set to be the next big guy, ECW was phasing out from Extreme to 'New' Talent, Sheamus was on Raw now, so they wanted to recognize newer talent. Right around this point the championship started to be around the same level as the IC/US championships.

Christian - Already an established NWA World Champion, even if he himself doesn't count it. This win was designed to establish Christian as the 'top' guy in ECW, considering Orton and Edge were 'the' top guys on the other shows. This win not only elevated Christian, but also made it so he could be in a top spot that he deserved prior to TNA

Dreamer - Already a world champion from the original ECW (even if he didn't want it). The story being that if Dreamer lost, he'd quit. However it was more of a 'thank you for your service' title win, than anything. The storyline 'did' help elevate the championship from the Swagger win, if anything.

Big Zeke - His win was purposely designed to go ******** you ECW, it's time for NXT. It did absolutely nothing to elevate him, if anything it buried him like the tables he buried Christian in the tables that he won the championship in.

While I can agree with you in the instances of Chavo, Zeke, etc. I look at the literal sense of the definition and championship.

He was a world champion, winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Orton...
