>>14282243Because Gooner made it feel important, and Sami dethroning him somehow didn't ruin the prestige of the belt.
The WHC was given out as a consolation prize after they merged the Universal/WWE championships due to network bullshit. It never felt thay important to me. ESPECIALLY because Ramen never lost the belts. Plus, Heyman and him buried the belt at every opportunity kek.
Zestertaker winning it doesn't elevate him or the belt since niether feels all that "important" to me right now.
I think Drew or Punk winning it would have helped a lot in this regard. And also what's funny is, unlike others on this board, I actually LIKED seff's title reign, I just think we need a few monster/prestigious champions to actually make the belt feel important.
