TNA debuts new World Title [Archive]

The Naitch

Questions:

Are they still using this one as their Heavyweight Title? (this is an NWA belt)

http://www.midwestwrestling.com/championshipbelts/dg.jpg

If not, did they replace it with this new version? (this says TNA on it). I'm assuming they replaced the "NWA" with the word "TNA". I'm guessing it's the same title as above, just a new version of the belt. Similar to how the Cena belt is the WWE belt

Since 2007, TNA has had no ties to the NWA. The NWA pulled their World Title from TNA because TNA wanted it defended only on their show and not in any other territories. Therefore, TNA created its own World title, however they do trace its lineage with the NWA title since TNA's inception in 2002. So the TNA and NWA titles are completely separate but TNA traces its title inclusive with the NWA title since 2002.

They finally were better at WWE than something, and now they screw it up.

EDIT: Is that one of the Japanese belts the Dudleys carried around awhile back?

Gotta agree with Steele here...it looks like TNA got a replica of the WWECW Title and put the plates on a purple strap....

I hate silver belts. Silver is 2nd place, and champions aren't 2nd place. I bet Triple H would refuse to wear a silver championship belt.

What a great way of making your top title look important.

Create a new design and three years later, throw it in a trash can. :y:

Maybe it'll be like Stone Cold's custom belt; It'll only be for him and then the real belt comes back when the champ loses it.

I'm sure it will be, but I was just pointing out the act of actually throwing it in a trash can.

They could have just had Hardy reveal his belt to everyone without throwing the TNA Title in a trash can. By throwing a belt in a trash can, you're basically telling everyone it's shit and means nothing.

Oh wait....

Can't unsee that now... Anyway, I don't think this belt design is completely horrible, but I do disagree with the method they used to introduce it. It seems to correlate more with Jeff's new 'Antichrist' persona (all dark and distorted looking) and less with the immortal regime, which I expect would have been gold with Hogan's mustache embroidered on the face.

On the subject of this being a sole champion belt, such as Austin's, I have a question: Why after Cena lost his custom title (with the pushed out spin deck) did WWE not change it back? I know it's irrelevant to the topic at hand, but it's something that's always bugged me.

LOL. They don't need a new roster. They have plenty of talent, just need to use them all correctly.

So we have the Jeff Hardy Smoking Skull belt. Prob'ly designed it himself for the untouchable champion gimmick. I agree with Pope and Naitch, it suits him... as long as, like with the Smoking Skull/Brahma Bull belts, they only break it out whenever Jeff is champ, and not as a permanant redesign like the Cena spinner/WWE championship transistion.

Looks like he's gonna be champ for awhile, like it or not.

Pulling this thread from the bowels of Hell to state the fact that Ken Kennedy is the <S>WCW</S> TNA Heavyweight Champion, and he's lugging around this chunk of shit. Even though he publicly craps on it in promos, he still comes to the ring with it instead of a respectable looking strap. This looks to be TNA's "spinner belt".

Of all the moves to copy from WWE, they choose a stupid one.

parkmania

02-09-2011, 08:21 AM

Simple explanation:

The people in power (who happen to be Bischoff and Hogan) won't spend the money - in kayfabe or reality - to give Kennedy a new belt. Storylinewise, they feel it's still Jeff's belt and expect him to get it back soon.

Jeff Hardy was scheduled to win the TNA World Title back on this past Thursday's iMPACT, had his court case came to an end at his last hearing. Hardy received another continuance so the decision was made to keep the belt on Mr. Anderson. This is why Anderson is still using Hardy's Immortal belt, although a new belt is believed to be in the works.

If the new belt has an old school Microphone(or an asshole, I guess) on it, it could be the shiz. And if they're giving everyone their own belt, it could be pretty dope. I would buy the rvd spinning pot leaf belt.
