Alliance-granted titles and shared lineage option

[LordofGustav]

Alliance granted titles

An alliance would grant titles to a company to held it permanently or for a while as long as it is a member of the alliance itself.
Also, if the promotion leaves the alliance, besides giving it back to the alliance so it can decide to whether keep the title as an alliance title or award it to another member, the promotion that leaves the alliance can have the chance to make a title sharing the lineage with their now former title.

Shared lineage option

However, the shared lineage option could be applied to alliance promotions if the player or the IA-controlled owner wants.
Out of an example:
WCW is a member of the NWA, Ric Flair is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. WCW leaves the NWA. WCW will have the chance to get a World title sharing the lineage of the NWA World Heavyweight title and award it to Ric Flair if WCW chooses to accept such title.

A rejection example:
ECW is a member of the NWA, Shane Douglas is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. ECW leaves the NWA. ECW rejects to make a title with a shared lineage with the NWA World Heavyweight Title.

I love the first idea, but the second one doesn't really sound all that realistic, at least from an historical perspective.

The WCW World Heavyweight Championship did not claim the history of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, no matter what might have been said in-kayfabe by wrestlers, commentators, etc. The history of the title started in 1991. Likewise, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship, while it was often referred to as being somehow related to the WCW and NWA World Heavyweight Championships, never seriously claimed that and marked its establishment as taking place when it was initially awarded to Triple H by Eric Bischoff (this doesn't really match up with your example; just pointing out that companies tend to value their own establishments over simply copying the history of another title).

ECW simply claimed its former title (the ECW Heavyweight Championship) to have become a world title by virtue of the man holding it capturing (and immediately vacating) the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, thus relating the ECW title's "world" status to Douglas' victory. Fans of the promotion (who wouldn't have done this) could have easily said once Shane Douglas lost the title that it reverted to no longer being a "world title". Obviously, they did not (nor should they have). In this case, the history of the ECW World title encompasses its time as the ECW Heavyweight Championship, the NWA-ECW Heavyweight Championship, and the ECW Championship, keeping it as one title that had multiple names.

Thanks, then i'll stick to the first idea, based on what you said.
