TNA News (No more NWA I guess)
 

Well I hope they at least make a jewel World Title...much like WCW's big gold....or IWGP's championship.

lol I just hope TNA doesn't try and be "innovative" with their world title and create some butt ugly hexagon shaped championship. :rofl:

IT HAS EIGHT SIDES THAT ARE STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!~

I hope they dont do that Shane Douglas idea. Thats pretty unorignal.

They're going to do it, trust me.

SIX SIDES OF GOLD!!!

Seriously, an "Eight Sides of Gold" tournament featuring eight of TNA's best would be pretty cool.

so what fed is going to take the nwa belt roh?

First ever TNA Champion?

VINCE RUSSO!

I would imagine it's just going back to the way it was before TNA, not licensed to any one promotion.

I thought they had the rights through 2014??

I thought it was through 08 or 10...

Man, that poor NWA belt. First Shane Douglas, now Samoa Joe. Shane Douglas threw down the NWA belt, right? Or was it some other title?

This could be a great opportunity for Vince to just buy the NWA rights.

Yeah it was the NWA belt. Say what you want about the WWE title, but at least nobody was ever like "fuck this belt" when it was vacated.

NWA Eastern Heavyweight Title, if I remember correctly.

Lameee

Are you serious? I'd never want Vince buying NWA rights.

plus there are 60 wresling companys i know of most of the indys are part of the nwa, no way vince could buy all that nor would he want to.

who cares. Wouldn't you rather that belt be put to rest and be given a dvd set and shit than be tossed around indy feds, change like the hardcore title in TNA, and be thrown on the ground every few years?

I know it doesn't matter for shit, and I don't really care, but I wish Kurt Angle had won the NWA belt so that he'd have been a..WWF, WWE, World, WCW, NWA and TNA world champ. Come to think of it, I wish he won the ECW title too.

I'd rather have that belt tossed around and still alive than have WWE buy yet another thing to monopolize their hold on wrestling.

Like it would be such a huge acquisition....

They already own half of its history anyways

No, Douglas didn't throw down the Eastern Championship Wrestling title. He was the Eastern champion, won a tournament to crown the new NWA champion and threw down the NWA title. He then proclaimed that the Eastern title was now a world title, and rechristened it the "Extreme Championship Wrestling" World title.

Should you be correct, I stand corrected. (Man I am lazy.)

:shifty:

Hi, PullMyFinger! Now turn your fucking sig off, douche.

Yea that sig completely ruins the thread. :roll:

The new IWGP belt is fucking awesome.

TNA can do far worse than just having Samoa Joe throw down the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and claim to be TNA Champion. Much worse. I'm trying to think of a better way to do it, and I really can't. For once, I am stumped.

The NWA should get together with Ring of Honor, SHIMMER and Dragon Gate, and put on some fucking orgasmic shows.

I'd personally love to see a feud where Bryan Danielson came into ROH as NWA Champion and claimed to hold the most prestigious Championship in wrestling. He then enters a feud with Nigel McGuinness (the guy I think is going to beat Takeshi Morishima) and we get a series of matches between the ROH and NWA Champion. :y:

I'd like to see something like this.

Christian Cage loses the NWA Title to Kurt Angle in a triple threat (with Joe)at a PPV when AJ Styles and Steiner turn on Cage. The next night on iMPACT! Kurt is in the ring doing a promo when Samoa Joe's music hits and he comes out with a belt on shoulder. Samoa Joe then proclaims that even though he was cheated out of his first World title by Kurt Angle, he still has a belt. That belt being the TNA World Heavyweight championship. Angle then asks who gave him that belt and Jarret comes out. Jarret then proceeds to run down Angle and the NWA belt.

From here you could have team NWA (Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Scott Steiner, Chris Sabin, Robert Roode) and team TNA (Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Jeff Jarret, Eric Young, Jerry Lynn) battleing for whose championship is better. Sting would also be a crucial part of the fued where he chooses neither team, as he doesn't want to choose between TNA and NWA. Eventually a Triple Threat (where to win you must pin both opponents) between the NWA Champion (Kurt Angle) TNA Champion (Samoa Joe) and Sting, where Samoa Joe would be crowned TNA Champion, eliminating the NWA Championship.

Something like that would be pretty cool imo.

Nah I was kidding. Sometimes my humor comes across a bit harsh. Now stop being a fag, dickweed.

It is a bannable offense though, so PMF would be wise to stop posting it...

Fuck my bad, I think it's b/c sometimes that signature thing it on check and I forget to uncheck it. Anyhow, I'm deleting my whole sig now.

As far as I'm concerned they throw the belt down every week. Wrestlers win it for a month, and never return to the picture. Title scenes a joke, credibility of their title is a joke. The NWA/TNA heavyweight title history reads like the WWE European belt, only with less legends and credible stars on it.

And Doink the clown throwing the NWA title down into a pile of flaming dog shit and goosestepping all over it while waving a USSR flag would be better for the credibility of that strap than Abyss holding it.

Got a picture?

They should have some sort of weird finish where the winner is unclear. Something like both guys' shoulders are down, the guy deemed the winner takes the NWA belt, then the next show the other guy comes out, shows the footage and claims he should be the champ. The champ says that the referee's official decision is all that counts, the championship committe is torn on what to do, so they give the loser the TNA title. We now have two champs.

The NWA champ faces whoever the NWA wants to be their champion. The TNA winner causes the NWA champ to lose the belt then the NWA belt is on who it's supposed to be on, it disappears and the feud is now for the TNA title.


I'm not great at these storyline ideas, but neither is TNA.

fuck wwe buying the rights to the nwa title. How about them buying the rights to tna too.

Bury their talent, throw the belts on the ground, misuse samoa joe and put christian back in the IC division. If anything, it'd be fuel for pages upon pages of solid rants and broken hearts.

Isn't that what Russo's doing?

Vince Russo and Vince McMahon made an under the table deal years ago for him to go to any compettition and book it into the ground. Everyone knows that.


That should have been in KK's "wrestling fact" thread.
