It would get around the silly three round system thing they have. Then just have an authority figure toss out the three round system with a one liner like, "Why even bother with that rule?" and you save TNA one less thing to reboot.
The Grand Championship matches were always a bad idea. At least this turns shitty lemons into shitty lemonade.

The roles should be reversed. Moose should been the one to beat Lashley & Davey could of been the shit "shooter" champion.

I wonder how long the grand championship even lasts now that Corgan is gone, since it screamed of overinvolved Russo-ey Corgan nonsense. Considering taping schedules, I wouldn't be surprised if by the summer the title goes the same way as its previous incarnations.

TNA don't have enough people for him to squash. Just have him keep squashing Eddie in title vs. title matches where Eddie's title isn't on the line for some reason. It makes about as much sense as why Eddie was given his title to begin with.

I know most don't like TNA or Eddie Edwards and want it become Broken Matt Hardy Land but your idea would kill the TNA world title dead.

Frankly they should just get rid of the belt. Moose should be employed to better use.
Before this it was the KOTM belt, they killed it and replaced it by this. And so far I have not liked the experiment. The concept kills the drama as it always go for a draw after two rounds and then they fight for the third round. And when the win is quicker it feels disappointing. It's like they did not think this through enough.
Also the rigidity of a three rounds makes you appreciate the no rounds concept of a regular wrestling match and how much freedom you have to create.
I say get rid of it and just have a regular TV title.

At the same time TNA as f***ed around with its midcard singles titles WAY too much. I say just use this as a way to push Moose and allow him to squash people/look impressive. Once matches have only gone one round for so long it become pointless to even think of another round (takes less longer than you think) have an authority figure quietly do away with the grand championship concept rule, but keep the belt. Otherwise changing a midcard title AGAIN and bringing back another midcard title is just going to produce a lot of, "I can't believe they're changing titles again, WTF is wrong with this company? LOLTNA." Like I said my solution is not perfect and just turns shitty lemons into shitty lemonade. However, once you have that you can begin picking out the fecal matter and one day maybe even have some drinkable lemonade. Now excuse me while I vomit thinking of my own imagery.

It's just a great way to put people over and not having everybody fight for the World title. But TNA was always in a bind cause they had the X title so the perception was this is the midcard title but it really wasn't, it was a cruiserweight title. So you had the top guys and the high flyers and everybody in between that were poorly represented. They tried to turn the Legend belt into various uses but it got tarnished so much that nobody took it seriously. With this Grand Championship they could just phase it out. Cause even now it's not taken seriously by fans. And in mid 2017 just do a tournament for a new TV belt.

I know this is kind of a Russo way of doing it, but this is a time where it's somewhat warranted: Have Moose show disdain for the round system and do away with the rules for it, just making it be a secondary title.

Only way to separate it from all the others 50 weeks out of the year would be to have it defended every week, which with their tapings (rumoured to be even longer stretches taped in one go) just isn't sane, safe, or possible.

You mean the semi-MMA title with rules that limit things instead of making them better isn't working out for TNA? Colour me shocked.

Not that having Devon as champion helped matters. He barely ever seemed to defend it. Yea the idea worked but they gave it to Devon. It finally had started working when Joe had it. And Joe seemed to even regain his aura. Then lost it to Fat Devon. Furthermore it wasn't a true TV belt per se as it was the tarnished former Legend title. The beauty of a TV title is that you defend it every single week. So when the Champ successfuly keep the title, it instantly make him over or when the title changes hands it keeps a "anything can happen" vibe so it's a win-win situation. When Cena was US Champ he was essentially a TV Champ as far as concept. And everybody praised that run.
