For the Feder and HWM - those are intended mostly as "for fun" titles, sort of just something extra to do on the boards. Like, between shows or between defenses or whatever, anyone can always go for one of them. It gives the fed a little more interactivity and methods of participating. Sometimes it has a lot of activity, sometimes not, but I think it's better to have the option than to not have it.
The X-Treme Title has ALWAYS been 24/7, going back to the beginning of the fed. That's not changing. It's really hard to win it on a 24/7 pin, that's why it happens so infrequently. I have considered editing the rules a tiny bit just to make it a little more competitive, but as it is right now it's just the way it's been for like 18 years.
In my opinion, I like each title to have an identity. The TV Title has it's RP limits and the match type, as well as its frequent defenses and the potential to trade it for a Uni shot. That makes it special.
The Hart is a more 'traditional' mid-level belt, designed for the normal title type things. You won't see it defended in some death match or anything like that, because it's a bit of an homage to the Hart family and their technical background. It's also a favorite of Shane's.
Bombshell is obviously for ladies.

The Uni is the "big prize" and I always think of it in terms of like how Brock Lesnar is in WWE. It's rare and it's the most important. It's a big deal to go for it. This is why I avoid doing RP limits or having it under Savage rules, because I think folks should have to go all-out for it. This is the top of the mountain, so it should be worked for. On a day-to-day level, the X-Treme Champion is usually more visible and probably the top guy on any given day, but he doesn't have the top prize. Think of it in terms of how Mid-South did things in the 80s... they had the United States Champion, and he was the territory's big champ. BUT, whenever the NWA World Champion rolled into town on tour, he was the biggest name and the biggest prize. He just wasn't there every day.
The main reason I got rid of the IC title in favor of the TV was that the IC was just another normal title with nothing special about it.
Any of this make sense to anyone or do I think about it too much?
