I've got to agree with Destor here. Jerry Lynn had a cup of coffee with the WWF and that easily makes him the most recognizable face in all of ROH.
Opening yourself up to a national, albiet limited audience, you have to put some sort of name recognition out there, no matter how small. You're not hurting yourself by putting Jerry Lynn as champion. Nobody is going to tune in and say "What? Mr JL is champ? Fuck that I'm not watching." However, you do open yourself to grab at least a couple fans who remember Lynn from his light heavyweight title run and that's a couple more fans than you'd have with anyone else holding the belt.
