Count me in on loving the idea of a Cody reign. He’s blossomed into a fantastic package of talent now. His dad was incomparable, but he’s charismatic in his own right. He deserves to hold the same belt Dusty did. I agree with you in the abstract, but....it's really not the same belt Dusty held. When Dusty held it, it was, arguably, THE most prestigious championship in the wrestling world. Now, it's just an aging rock star's vanity project. It'd be neat if he could drag it up into something useful, but I have my doubts. At the least, I see Cody winning it under All In’s spotlight helping it a little.

If it doesn't work out, so what? Are we really happy to live in a world where mean-spirited internet snark is good enough to sink a promotion in a business we all want to see grow?

Meh, I'd rather see something new grow, than trying to shock a corpse back to life for the dozenth time.

f*** the NWA title.
It's a relic of when the wrestling industry was controlled by a shitty cartel that dictated who could and couldn't work in the industry. They did all sorts of shady shit to maintain their monopoly.
I know the belts historic and all that but it hasn't been relevant in nearly 4 decades it should stay dead.

It'd be the best thing to happen to the NWA title since the TNA days, but ngl, it'd still be hilarious to watch Cody carrying this thing around in 2018 like he just became king of all wrestling.

Cody vs. Magnus will not be an exciting match.

That also reminds me I just realized that this could open the possibility of an NWA title match at Wrestle Kingdom next year, and like I am not even close to ready to have that evil put on me at 2 in the morning.

Was Fake Muta the guy that got the title because he worked for an airline and got free plane tickets or was that the Fake Sheik?

Cody Vs Flip Gordon for the NWA championship at 2:45am. Hell. Gaze into it.

Yeah, the only real positive would be the novelty of Cody holding something his dad did sort of. But that brand has been dead prestige wise for most intents and purposes for nearly thirty years now.

Dude with Yoshi Hashi blanding himself to the outer depths of the roster and f***ing Taichi being booked decently I need something to make fun of at 4:30 AM

The NWA title can't hurt right? Obviously it's not what it was but it still has novelty to me that makes it more interesting than the TNA or RoH title.
Hats off to Corgan for trying to bring prestige back to the title, I'm glad he's making an effort.

I'm also in the "rather something new grow than let the shambling corpse keep shuffling around" but if Cody wants to take on that responsibility, at least it'd go a long way in trying in ways that even Corgan isn't. Like no matter what happens it's still way more notable and sensible than putting it on f***ing Nick Aldis and all of the weird booking that went along with doing that. Cody at least gets people to pay attention to him.
