I feel anyone whop has a championship title and intentionally gets a DQ Dis Qualification should be stripped of the title and a tournament should be done and the challenger should be in the tournament. Accidents happen but if a wrestler punches or kicks a referee that should be a DQ and strip.

It will mean a lot more when the champion beats them in the end, however. I think that the fact that a lot of people do not like this, is actually working out for the benefit of the promotion and to draw interest. The interest is in the chase and it cannot be too easy. One of the best stories in wrestling would be a challenger who fights his way through all obstacles and then finally at the end, catches the champion, before beating him for the title, where he could not weasel out of it. I will agree that intentional disqualifications is only good when done in moderation. That is one of the things that is lost to modern wrestling. People get disqualified but it just does not advance anything forward, but rather just as a lazy out. Just like at one time, stipulation matches actually meant a lot more than they did now. Well this is more of a problem than certain other wrestling organizations than WWE, but still, given the interest that is less for their gimmicked Pay Per Views. Still intentional disqualifications can in fact be a good tool in building interest, when used right. Unfortunately, it is not with few exceptions these days.

If a champion takes the easy way out I feel that is a disgrace to the title and a disgrace to the business. A champion should defend it with pride and not take the sissy ease way out like intentional DQ or a count out. I can see if he hit his head too hard but not just because he can't beat him.

Intentional Disqualification is a time honored tradition for the heel, and should not be removed. It is right up there with wrestlers in stables or with managers using outside interference to win the match, it's part of wrestling. It is also a way to build towards stipulations, if the champion keeps on purposefully disqualifying himself, put them in a no DQ match! If they are always running away and getting counted out, put them in a cage match. It all adds to the drama of wrestling and builds hate towards the heel, you want the bad guys to be hated by the crowd, and intentionally DQing oneself is a great way to get that.
