Should No Limit Hold'em remain as the WSOP main event?

The WSOP
main event has long been NL HE. However, I believe the true main event should
be H.O.R.S.E. H.O.R.S.E for those don’t know, is a mixed game that consists of Hold’em,
However there is a lot going against H.O.R.S.E being the World Series Of Poker main event. No
Limit Hold’em has become the most popular poker game today due to the enormous
television exposure it has gotten in the recent years. As a result, most poker
players nowadays have learned No Limit Hold’em from watching it on ESPN
or Fox, even NBC and play it exclusively. That means not many players know how
to play H.O.R.S.E nevertheless be good at it. Secondly, H.O.R.S.E is a limit
game and takes much longer to complete than a No Limit Hold’em tournament. So,
there are also some benefits in having No Limit Hold’em as the WSOP main
event.
What I propose is to keep the WSOP main event as No Limit Hold’em
but to crown the winner of the H.O.R.S.E tournament as the true WSOP
"champion".
