Truth with the ref in his car was hilarious. This is so stupid but if it leads to amusing stuff like this I can’t complain.

I hope we can get some fun stuff with the 24/7 belt with today’s cast of wrestlers, nearly all of whom desperately deserve a spotlight of some kind to showcase themselves as characters, but my early concern is WWE will end up speeding through all those phases in a much quicker time. That's my main concern with it, too. The idea of it is good, giving people something to do and utilising how funny these guys can be on social media outside of a WWE scripted setting, but a) they'd need to achnowledge some of this stuff happening on the main show because that stuff matters and b) like EoE says, they might just have stuff happen for the sake of it happening and ignore character work. If this is just an excuse to put people on TV brawling in the background like their names are Funaki, Viscera and Al Snow without really trying very hard...well, f*** that idea. I'd say "Take your time" but that seems to be something they're incapable of doing at the moment.

I swear I read over the weekend that someone (either a wrestler, or an anonymous inside source) said a big problem wrestlers seem to have is that there are so many of them and they all want to be champion of some sort but there aren't enough titles.
In a sick way, this 24/7 title actually addresses that.
lol

That belt is definitely ugly, not sure why they keep using whatever type of leather they've been using on a lot of their belts lately, makes them look weird.
If they can handle this belt the way that DDT does (the Ironman Heavymetalweight battle royal at Joey Ryan's show was one of the best matches of WM weekend this year), then it has some potential to be real fun. Issue is that it's tough to imagine WWE not losing interest in it at some point given that as a promotion they tend to have the attention span of a gnat, but there's a chance to at least do some fun, goofy stuff with underutilized wrestlers here.

Lol, this sucks. I'm so glad I don't watch WWE anymore. It's an ugly title and the 24/7 rule has always seemed stupid to me.
Why would a wrestling company have a title belt that they can't advertise matches for in advance?

The belt is ugly, but it's just a prop, so it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. It could lead to a lot of fun segments, and guys who don't normally get TV getting TV time, and maybe even PPV time, which if nothing else will be extra cash in some guys pockets. It could help house shows. The old hardcore title used to change hands all the time at house shows - the champion at the end of the previous week's TV would always start the next TV with the title, but the champion would often not make a house show with the belt. Shawn Stasiak was a fifteen time Harcore champ (all canonical - www.wwe.com/titlehistory/hardcore-championship), yet never won or lost the title on TV. Given how rare house shows see title changes, it will at least give an extra pop. It could also just turn to shit.

I kind of wonder how long it'll be before this is someone's first title win. Everyone who's had it thus far has already had a different belt. There aren’t that many, really. On RAW there’s EC3, Fandango, Metalik, Dorado, Rawley, Jose and Breeze. SmackDown has Ali, Crews, Elias, Sullivan, Otis and Tucker. Adding the women gives you Brooke, Evans, Cross, Riott, Logan, Tamina, Lana, Morgan, Rose, Deville and Vega. Are you prepared for the numerous changes that are going to happen in the Blood Money 50 man battle royal? Or are you hoping that Sami Zayn holds it that weekend?

Drake is making the belt matter. I like Naomi's lunch on me line. They are bringing kayfabe back to social media

It could also just turn to shit. If ever there was a refrain that summed up trying to be optimistic about wwe in 2019, this is it 😂

ICW recently has an angle where a rookie had a contract for a match at the big annual show which he had to defend under 24/7 rules.
The angle itself didn't have a great payoff, but I think that idea of having a 24/7 rule build up to a deadline works better as it prevents burnout.
For example, say whoever has the belt at the end of the year wins number 30 in the Rumble.

At some point somebody needs to use a platform scale as a weapon or prop. RIP Crash.

It’s like they're using a patent leather to give them a shine but it ends up looking like plastic. The Cruiserweight is particularly plasticy looking.

The belt looks like something you would get made for someone for their retirement party. Or give to the best batter of a 35+ co-ed softball league.

The idea is whacky enough to make me happy, but the thing is so ugly! I can’t get over it.., there’s no way that was unveiled to the higher ups and they said “YES SIR THATS THE ONE GODDAMMIT!”

With the 24/7 rule, I know you're not really supposed to care who's holding the title since you could potentially have several changes during a week, but I don't know if I'd be trying this when the top titles don't even have any value to them.
