Here's why statistics are dumb.
On Monday Night Raw, fans got to choose the name for the new combined title on the WWE app.
The choices were as follows:
Unified Champion -- 38%
Undisputed WWE Champion -- 31%
Undisputed World Champion -- 31%
Notice anything strange about these results?
Yeah! 62% of voters preferred the word "Undisputed" to "Unified". The discrepancy was only in the WWE/World designation, which skewed the count. This is why social media and desperation regarding interaction does not (sometimes) work.
More people liked the "undisputed" name because it's a historic belt that means something. Chris Jericho won the first ever Undisputed Title by beating The Rock and Steve Austin in one night! But the Unified Champion? Where's the prestige? The honour? The legacy? The name is meaningless.
It'll have to start from scratch!
The worst part (a bad part, anyway) is that the WWE just spent a ton of money and research developing a new WWE title. It's only a couple months old! Now we're meant to expect a new belt, and believe that Superstars will want to battle for it? The title means nothing -- except for that Cena or Orton won it ONCE!
At this point, the NXT title is more prestigious.
Speaking of which, I have an NXT title fight to watch.
If you'll excuse me...
Have a nice day, and don't be a jabroni!
