[Kage]

^^Lol

[flamesoffury]

actully its not a world title its the ECW title

The ECW title is considered a world championship.. like the World heavyweight championship and the wwe championship. Why do you think everyone calls Ric Flair the 16 time "WORLD CHAMPION"? Because a world title is the main title on the show/company.
