There are too many titles in wrestling. Doesn't really matter the promotion. We have got to levels of boxing. Too many belts do indeed spoil the spot.

It should always be less and more and it soon becomes that most individuals have championships and then it's like to doze.

It becomes more unique not to have one. Sadly, most companies still pick and choose which ones they would like to push.

And after a while, if you do forget

about it, it just becomes a trinket, it's sad. So what championships have fallen foul of this?

I'm Simon Miller, and let's find out. Number 12, the million dollar title. Now, to be fair,

this was always little more than a gimmick. Before it made a random comeback onto NXT,

the million dollar belt was just there to make you

hate ted de biosi he felt he was hard done by when the world championship was stripped of him so he

used his vast resources to create his own boo that man it did lead to a very special moment at

somerslam 1991 when former bodyguard virgil won it but after that well, well, no, it was sort of just there.

Eventually, even Ted didn't speak about it because he became the WWF tag team champion,

and then we got to 1996.

Bam, whoopsie Daisy, from nowhere, Steve Austin had the gold.

Now this was because DeBiossi had brought him into the company as the ringmaster,

and to try and add some creativity to this, we use the title.

That's right, too.

W.W. We thought the future Stone Cold needed extras. It was ridiculous.

Given the character was very much just their fans, didn't care about the belt either,

because why would they? It was all presented as very middling.

In May of that year,

the Million Dollar Man was no longer Steve's manager, and therefore the prize was gone too.
