...and the NEW Ring of Honor World Champion...

I really hope that Tyler Black doesn't get the title from Jerry Lynn...

I love the move to give Lynn the title it's almost like ECW giving the strap to Terry Funk (to a much lesser extent), but I don't think Tyler should be the next guy. Don't get me wrong Tyler is a tremendous wrestler and he has a connection with the fans that is undeniable if you've been to a ROH show, but I just think he needs more seasoning. I think for the most part he's been living off working with Jimmy Jacobs for the past years, and I think he should be out on his own for a year or so to prove he can handle being alone and still getting people over.

I think a lot of the good will he has on him is because Jimmy Jacobs is such a good heel that he's completely detested by ROH fans, hence anyone Jimmy bullies in Age of the Fall or bullied in Age of the Fall will instantly get over with the crowd. He got Necro Butcher over huge with the ROH crowd who used to hate Necro because he was from CZW. He got Delirious over even more when they split up.

I think the most logical step is to give the title to Jimmy Jacobs and have him weasel out of championship matches for a couple of months before Aries turns on him and takes the belt for the second time.
