I think that is why there is talk of bringing back the WCW and ECW brands. To loosen up the belt problem, so that WCW and ECW would be "minor league champs" yet have strength to them and the WWE would be the "major league" where the WCW and ECW champs would aspire to.
What I see happening Monday is Steph and Bischoff conspiring to form their own WCW. They'll interupt the "lottery" and offer wrestlers a "true choice" and we'll see some leave and go with them. I think some true big names of course but some will go that will totally shock people, like maybe Benoit and HBK.
This will fire McMahon up and we'll see a "Monday Night War: part 2" which is what they need to inspire some freshness into the whole industry. (Perhaps even TNT, TBS or USA will be involved)
Paul E and Shane eventually will do the same with ECW.
Let's face it wrestling's glory days were during the Monday night wars. The new DVD/PPV that rehashes it shows how vividly alive the shows were. Vinny's not stupid he is a marketing genius, so I think even he knows that something like this is needed. Because there's no competition and the people aren't getting into it like they did.
What would be better than seeing the old Monday night wars take over again. Each show trying to out do the other. Each trying to sign and convert the others talent.
Then again McMahon's ego is such he would never let WCW or ECW truly get anywhere.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
