8/9/10?
Lost count.
But, atleast two of my faves (Even though Punk woulda been better) are holding it at the moment.
Also, Should Cena go to SD!, Who'd you rather see him feud with? (Batista, Undertaker (Cool!), Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, Chris Jericho..)?
I just noticed something; SmackDown has bigger superstars, In my opinion, anyway.How Many times did the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Belt change Hands?here are the world title reigns

30 Jeff Hardy 1 June 7, 2009 0 New Orleans, LAHow Many times did the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Belt change Hands?SmackDown certainly does have %26quot;bigger%26quot; superstars in terms of size; Undertaker, The Great Khali, Kane . . . but more importantly, it definitely has the better superstars too! It's dumbe how CM Punk had 2 very short championship reigns this year. For a guy like Undertaker, it looks better if he has a decent reign so hopefully it stays on him for a while. Also Cena should go to Smackdown and a feud with the Deadman would be niceHow Many times did the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Belt change Hands?I've lost count as well.How Many times did the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Belt change Hands?a bunch of timesHow Many times did the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Belt change Hands?Report Evil Bear please.
