One thing I am not crazy about is specifically labeling the TV or X-treme titles as somehow lower in rank than the European or US titles, because they're not supposed to be. They're special titles that require a person going after them or holding them to be more aware of how they each work, and if anything, that brings more of a challenge instead of less.
A person going for the TV title is forced to only be able to RP once a day instead of twice a day, even though the defending champ CAN roleplay twice a day if they want. To win the TV title under these rules would be slightly harder than winning the European or US titles from their respective holders under normal rules, because the challenger would need to be more careful with what they decide to post in a day and make sure it's heavy hitting WITHOUT a follow up RP later that same day. To me, the person who can do this has accomplished a lot more than somebody who won a regular title.
The same goes for the X-Treme title but in reverse... the person HOLDING it has to pretty much go through hell. It's the opposite of the TV title where the pressure is put on the challengers of the TV title. With the X-Treme title, a HUGE amount of pressure is on the actual champion because they are always under the 24/7 rule AND defending it in regular matches along the way too.
The title we have that is just for fun, and should always be considered lower level, is the FTW UFO title.
All other titles are what their respective holder chooses to make them, by either increasing their activity and defending like a madman or by some other creative means that shows why THAT person is such a great champion.
I'm ok with anything that gets changed around as long as the above criteria is understood and met by all involved. There should never be a suggestion that the TV or X-Treme titles are lower status than Euro and US. If anything, the person with the X-Treme title can market themselves as the top champion in the entire fed based on how hard it is to keep that belt long term. The only thing that is always higher than all other titles, no matter what, is the actual XWF King spot.
This ended up being a longer message than I intended but I think it gets the point across as far as how the title scene should always be looked at. If you hold one of the regular singles titles and think it should be more noticed or more honored than the other belts, then DO SOMETHING about it in character. Take it to the X-Treeeeeeme! lol
