HARDCOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!
 

i have been saying this for ages now, and finally my wish for a hardcore division has come true

barbed-wire massacre anyone?

I wouldn't mind if they added a Hardcore Championship. But, it took them forever to get a 2nd tier title that lets anyone win it (unlike the X-title), and now they're gonna get rid of it already? wtf

"Look at us! We have no original ideas!"

Really wish they'd go for a proper alternative instead of trying to make an outdated era work in a totally different era. TNA needs to stop going for old fans who left (which is what they're doing with moves like this) and start going for newer fans who want something new AND alternative.

lol kareru.


fucking terrible.

Really all this does is book an entire division around overbooking. And you don't need that when everything else is overbooked.

Now WWE really has something to worry about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but with a hardcore division you have all the bases covered

the main 'heavyweight' singles division
the tag team division
the junior/cruiser weight division
the hardcore division
the womens division

that's all aspects of wrestling there, something for everybody

How about good writing?

They'll find a way to fuck it up.

good writing is reserved for hollywood movies sir

Yeah they need to start with good writing.

or good booking.

lovely. I can't wait to see Sandman, Sabu and Terry funk back again

Riiiiiiiight, and I suppose good booking is reserved for Restaurants?

Might be good, might be crap, i'll wait n see.

Which belt design will they use?

Someone will smash up the Global title and they'll duct tape it together.

i don't remember that top one, what year(s) is that one from?

lol at the bottom one being a rip off of the ECW title. I actually thought it WAS the ECW title at first.

same here

why would they have a brand split ?:wtf:

First ROH has to come from behind and buy them out.

You do realize that their roster is like 10 wrestlers less than WWE's, right?

it looks nothing like it
HERP DERP

that can't be right can it?

I read about this a week ago.

It will be okay short-term, but it really won't do much in the long run in my opinion.

Going purely by roster pages (so it includes some announcers, etc):

RAW Roster - 39
SD Roster - 36
WWE Roster - 75

TNA Roster - 65

If you take out the announcers and managers WWE may actually have LESS active wrestlers than TNA on their two main brands.

Orlando Jordan will win the Global Title and change it into the Hardcore Title.


Only, it won't be quite what you'd expect.

lol

did you count suicide and kaz as 1?

it seems like wwe has waaaay more, maybe because they are split up into 2 rosters it seems like more

BUZZINGA!!

well it's less stupid than the Global title

I don't see the point. The Global Title is naff.

Don't worry, TNA will screw hardcore matches up by DQ'ing people.

and hope they don't bring back the Hard 10 tournament, didn't understand it.

The only problem I see with the current "Global" championship is that, IIRC (I usually forget to watch TNA), isn't it never defended in USA? Makes it next to useless when they almost never tour.
