This applies in 24/7 General Manager Mode. ++++++++++++++++++ - Popularity boost ++++++++++++++++++ World titles such as the World Heavyweight Championship, ECW Championship and WWE Championship gives the superstar a +5 popularity instead of +3. Titles not mentioned only gives out +3 to popularity. +++++++++++++++++ - Obsolete titles +++++++++++++++++ Legend titles (such as the Million Dollar Championship) cannot be defended nor be in General Manager Mode because these titles are bought from the WWE Shop.
