Yes the ring is a business, but they do not profit by having multiple titles like Interim, Super, Emeritus, which is exactly what this topic is about. Making money from selling magazines will happen regardless if they have a vacant champ or a champ in place. The alphabets only get paid if someone pays sanctioning fees (compounded by the different sub-titles)
So the WBA for example could be receiving fees from their Regular, Super and Interim titlists at the same time, so it is in their best interest to have MORE titles. That is the difference here. You have to fight to earn a Ring top 10 spot, you have to PAY to earn an alphabet top 10 spot.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
