Not counting Nigel in ROH is bullshit.

The fact that Magnus is the first Brit to be World Champion has to be a let down for anyone that actually cares about such things. Could be worse, could have been Barrett. As an Englishman, I would have been much happier with Wade Barrett as WWE Champion than Magnus as TNA Champion.

Not counting Nigel in ROH is bullshit. To be fair, when was the last time the ROH world title was defended outside the continent?

No less legendary than Doug Williams. I think the article is only calling Bulldog legendary though right? Also congrats to Magnus. I think he's been a lock to be the Champ since the tournament was announced but nice to finally see him win the title. I met Magnus a couple of years ago at a show in Horsham and he was a great guy so it's cool to see the success he is having now. May his reign be a long and successful one.

Are they filming any Impact episodes on this UK tour? Dude is gonna be super over there which would make for an interesting crowd... unless of course TNA just ruins the energy and dubs over it. They're filming Impact in Glasgow. An Englishman is very unlikely to be super-over up here though.

Believe it's been changed to three episodes of Impact and a ONO PPV.

TNA shouldn't count unless it's like 08-12. The company is basically just a regional promotion now apart from the odd out of town event (Not including House Shows)
TNA should have built this up more as well. Why would they not have him win the big one in front of his home crowd? Hell, have him win this tournament for a shot in England.
Magnus winning in front of thousands of his home fans having a chance to witness history>Magnus winning in front of hundreds of Americans

I'm going with this too, albeit only because I find Magnus to be a giant pile of awful and I don't want the records to count it.

Meh, it's TNA.
Enjoy your title reign while you can, Magnus. Because there will no TNA to defend it in pretty soon.

I'm pretty sure this accomplishment was retroactively awarded to the clearly British World Heavyweight Champion King Booker.

I was at a house show in April of this year, and Magnus had a match. The event was held at a tiny skating rink, so there were only a few hundred people there. Magnus was the only guy that came out to no reaction at all from the crowd. You could hear a pin drop. He grabbed a mic and cut a bad promo and as he concluded, some guy in the crowd said in a depressed speaking tone "God... You suck Magnus." The whole crowd was able to hear the fan, and began cracking up.
That pretty much sums up Magnus.
