Feels very late stage WCW TV title-ish.

I always felt that Hobbs should have never lost it...at least hopefully it moves quickly to someone worth holding it...and for a while!

There aren't many people in the history of AEW that have won two different belts. Luchasaurus is now one of them. (I think it's just Kenny, the Bucks, Hangman, Pac, the Lucha Bros, and Scorpio Sky, right?) Kenny: Tag, Trios and World Bucks: Tag and Trios Hangman: Tag and World PAC: Trios and International Lucha Bros: Tag and Trios Sky: Tag and TNT Luchasaurus: Tag and TNT If you add the ROH titles then it extends to: Jericho: ROH and AEW World Lucha Bros: ROH Tag Samoa Joe: TNT and TV

Christian celebrating like he won the belt was great Actually giving Luchasauraus the belt? The dude has so little heat right now. I know Wardlow has no oomph either but this doesn’t change anything They need to tell a story with the belt and give it to someone popular. Look at OC, I’m invested whenever he has a match. Is this going to be where it gets too much? Is he going to get too desperate? How’s it going to end
OC had a rocky start when the IC was the AA title, it took months for his reign to become a good one and the title being prestigious.
Hope they let Christian tell the story and not just kill time for Wardlow to return and regain the title for the 214923402time.
True but that’s where the popular bit comes into play. You give it to someone who is on an upward trajectory of overness or who the crowd loves regardless and you buy some time to allow you to build up a story or come up with a good angle Giving it to a guy who no-one really cares about (and I try not to mean that in a disrespectful way) isn’t going to do that I think

I don't like Luchasaurus as a wrestler, I'm sure he's a nice guy, so I'm not into him being one of AEW's champions. IMO, him winning it just waters down the title even further, but the damage was done to the belt a long time ago and they've been hot potato-ing it for a while, so I'm leaning more into 'who cares?' territory anyway. Hopefully my boy SATNAM SINGH is next on the list of holders of this prestigious championship!

It still boggles me they didn't take the chance to rename him when he came back with the new look and mask. It is nigh-impossible to take "Luchasaurus" seriously as a monster heel. Nothing against the guy himself, he's perfectly cromulent and was over like rover before the heel turn.

The whole point of Luchasauras winning is so Christian can take the credit and act like he won it himself.

I feel like the endgame here is Christian getting the absolute shit kicked out of him by Luchasaurus and the latter turning back face.
And I look forward to it.

Give the title a break, being 24/7 with Scorpio Sky will change anyone.

I only became a regular viewer a couple years ago so I've probably missed out on some good stuff, but Joe and Darby's matches together are really the only times I've cared about the TNT Title.

The TNT title was the worker's title and usually had great matches up until Sammy and Scorpio had their weird feud then it became very obvious Scorpio was just holding the title for Wardlow. Since then the International title has been more of the worker's title cause of OC. I do agree that Joe/Darby did a lot to rehab it and I honestly do think the title is in a good place in terms of being rebuilt after a crap 2022, but also they REALLY have to move Wardlow away from the title

They should put it on Jeff Jarrett and let him Honky Tonk Man that shit. Do that for a while and build up someone that’s just whooping ass at the same time and there you go.

Like you say, it was basically what OC is doing now.

Let him run his mouth about how the last time a promotion was on TNT, he was a multi-time World Champion, so of course he should represent a title named for TNT. Then maybe have Dean Malenko break Garcia away from Jericho and mentor him up into a run where Garcia can take the belt off of JJ.

Christian won it retained and now he's going to Atami with the TNT title's mom to celebrate.

While he's just now officially the TNT title, it does feel like Christian has put the title back where it needs to be

I enjoyed the title bouncing around a bit but I'm glad Christian has had a long run with it so far to bring it some much needed credibility.
