They did unite the WWF/E and WCW world titles into the Undisputed title. But when Stephanie paid off Brock to be exclusive to Smackdown, the heavyweight champion (Brock) would never appear on Raw. I think Bischoff then claimed that if Brock as the Undisputed Champion refuses to work both shows, his title isn't really undisputed, so he pulled out the old WCW belt and awarded it to HHH. I don't know if this means they split the belts back into two or if the Raw champion is supposed to be something new, just with the old WCW belt.
Yeah, Smackdown is creating a new set of tag titles for its show. Raw is going to have a "winner takes all" match between HHH the Raw heavyweight champion and Kane who is the new Intercontinental champion. Here's a question for you -- is this match a title unification match or not? The way I originally heard it, winner takes all, it sounded like it was just a title for title match. The winner holds two titles. Then some promo/commercial they made has Bischoff saying something like "one show, one champion" and that implies one title will be gone after No Mercy. Does anyone know what the deal is? Is this title for title, a title unification match, or are they going to abandon one title after the PPV?
As for Tough Enough, yeah, it's a little odd. But if you recall, the first two winners, Maven and Nidia, did basically the same thing as the two women who won Tough Enough 2 (Jackie and Linda). Maven had I think three matches with Tazz, losing the first two then getting a win the third time. After that he cut a promo about realizing he's not really ready to be here yet so he was going to train more and come back later when he's better prepared. Nidia might have gotten even less exposure than Jackie and Linda. I think all Nidia got was to accompany some wrestler to the ring once or twice before she left TV for some time. I don't even think she got a match on TV before leaving. Yeah, I expected Jake to win a spot, too, but I bet he'd end up doing the same thing the other winners did -- get a little TV time, then go away to continue training before coming back to (hopefully) stay on TV.
