Would WWE then consider R-Truth to be a former World Champion?

I think the only world titles recognized by WWE are the WCW Championship, the NWA Championship (prior to 1994) and the IWGP Chanpionship.
They don't count ECW as a world title so I can see them not putting so much emphasis on TNA's lineage

Its a tough call whether to make a big deal of it, or simply ignore it. There is no option in between. |

The tape library isn't being bought to acknowledge on air, and they won't do so until they/unless they purchase the company as a whole.
The tape library is just to round out video packages and docs for Angle, Sting, Styles, Joe, Roode etc. etc.

I don't know about everyone else, but if we do not get a best of Scott Steiner promos I will be sorely disappointed.

No. They wouldn't make Stinky Pete a former champ just for purchasing the bumfights.com library.

They acknowledged AJ's TNA world title holding on Talking Smack last night.

Do they even consider their own Jack Swagger as former World Champion anymore?

I imagine the only value for WWE is stuff for Styles and Joe. Of course, I'd rather they uploaded more old territory stuff they own on the Network before anything TNA.

Eh, the TNA stuff is more familiar to modern fans, would be easier to convert since a lot of it's in HD to begin with and has been streamed online in the past, and has some big names they could market it around. As a business it'd make perfect sense to prioritize it. |

They can finally do a best of Edge and Christian and Christian will have some great singles matches to draw from.

If they buy it, they should revive Are You Serious with Corey Graves in place of Josh, and every time Josh Matthews is on screen, Road Dogg make some comment about how that dude looks familiar followed by lots of dry heaving.

Yeah, there wouldn't need to be much actual conversion to the tapes since it was mostly shot in HD and on Digital as opposed to the older stuff which needs to be converted in real time. |

Well they once called Gail Kim a 2 time women's champion and R Truth and Xavier are "old friends" so...
