Now, we all knew that Kevin Nash is the highest drawing champion in wrestling history. We knew he's Bob Backlund approved. We knew he has a summer house on fire island. But now we know that he is a 20 time former world champion. I nominate Kevin Nash for the new universally accepted greatest of all time.

I pretty sure TNA would consider the post-garbaged WCW TV title as a world title.

Next week, they'll be debuting some guy from Hootintoot, Norwegia with the Pie Eating title as a world champion.

I dont care what people say, but I will never consider the tag titles or any midcard title as a world title.

In all due respect though, I understand the Tag Team thing. I mean, if an athlete in the Olympics wins one 100m sprint, then his relay team wins the 4x100m, he's a 2 time gold medallist. Why not the same for tag teams?

Borash (I think) explained the "Tag Team as a World Title" deal not too long ago. He said that TNA treats Tag Team wresting as being very important, on par with the top singles belt. So anyone thats been to the top of the mountain in that aspect of wrestling (as opposed to say, the US Title, where you can still be the World Champ), he believes should be referred to as a World Champion. Especially when the belt is literally called the "World Tag Team Championship".
^ And a good example in the post above mine of that he was talking about.

Main Event Mafia? Really? Shoulda been Main Event Players or simply Main Event (though it would be confusing).

By TNA standards, I probably even held some kind of World title.

Has TNA ever billed someone a world chamion who didn't hold a belt with the word 'world' in it's title?

Nash won several World Titles in Madagascar with a standing double shooting star press. Unfortunately he had to forfeit his last title defense against El Dandy after he tore a quad coming down the ramp.
