Did the TNA Legend's title change to the Global Title?
 

yes , the legends title was such a stupid concept for a title

think of the global title as the TNA version of the intercontinental title, anyway 3 singles titles is pretty good also considering one of those 3 is a 'cruiser weight' type title

Exactly what is the difference between a "World" Title, and a "Global" Title?

Agreed. I think why it is even considered a "cruiserweight" title is the b/c the X Division is a style based on a fast-paced, daredevil type of wrestling usually found in lightweights. Aside from Fat Joe and Angle, the champions list is primarily "cruiserweights"

one is main event and one is midcard

World and Global mean exactly the same thing.

as does intercontinental (sort of)

Intercontinental was meant to represent a champion of the North American and South American continents, so no not really.

When you think of it Intercontinental and Global are just as close to World. Intercontinental means between the continents, which essentially means it can be between all the continents. Now the United States championship or Intracontinental Championship would be different, they would deliniate a specific area where as Intercontinental, Global, or World Championship do not.

Eric Young claimed in the Global title to say that he's not going to defend the title on American soil or to any Americans. Which is a gimmick that could work if TNA put on shows out of America more than once a year.

This is just a stupid nit picky thing people pick to take a dig at TNA. Their is plenty of things wrong with TNA why nit pick this useless bit? Either way this is the dumbest thing to get upset about since the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania debate. Sure, you're technically correct but who cares?

PS.
The X-Division has always from it's very start been "not about weight limits it's about no limits." Which has always been muddled in my opinion, but that why Samoa Joe held the title, and Kurt Angle held the title because of a match where he won all the titles.

adj. 1. intercontinental - extending or taking place between or among continents; "intercontinental exploration"; "intercontinental flights"
continental - being or concerning or limited to a continent especially the continents of North America or Europe; "the continental United States"; "continental Europe"; "continental waters"

I stand corrected:shifty:

the IC title came about when the North and South American Titles were unified. So it has no nering on all continents, just more than one.

the European title

not sure when they added the antarctic title to it

Only just considered that the IC title includes a pic of the entire globe on it's centre piece (as well as individual continents on the smaller plaques).

Guess I should get back to work on the Championship Belts section for the main page.

lol @ this thread.

The Intercontinental title was a huge misnomer, as it was intended to be the equivalent of a North American championship. The correct word should have been "intracontinental".

That having been said, from what I've heard, the Global title is only to be defended outside the U.S. Not really sure, that's just what I've read.

From a kayfabe point of view, each singles title should be as important as the other. Apart from the name, what benefits does a 'World' champion get over a 'Inter continental' champion? Obviously we know one is held in higher regard than the other but why? It's never sort of put across in kayfabe terms that a World Champion receives more money or anything. I'm know I'm looking into it way more than necessary but I think it's worth mentioning.

TNA's titles always seem to work on the basis than anybody could win any title at any time.

The Mackem: The IC title was intended to be the equivalent of a North American title, as I just stated above. Hence, the IC champion is technically the "champion of North America", while the World/WWE champ is the "champion of the word". Not that that distinction matters much in real-world matters, but it's wrestling. :)

i was always hoping that the legends title turned into the hardcore title when nash was champion
abyss beats nash for legends title
abyss says this is now the hardcore title and if you want the belt back its going to be hardcore rules
nash says fuck this i was only in it for the money, or along those lines
