TNA will add another title to the company in the near future. Equal to a Intercontiental title or US title for the mid card talent. TNA at first considered creating a X Divison tag title. Problem with that was TNA didn't enough talent for that divison. Jeff Jarrett has always been against adding another title in TNA. He feels that less is more but understands TNA needs another title due all of the talent.

Me: Did you know that 3 years ago an X-Division title shot main evented a PPV and is considered TNA's greatest match of all time?

Woo, TNA finally thought of a good idea!
Seriously though, another title is really smart. There really are a LOT of people in TNA who need something to do, and this should help a lot.

I was thinking they needed a hardcore title more than anything. I would rather stick with the idea that the X-Division title should be like the IC title.

I'm not a fan of the idea.
Back in the day, the Intercontinental Title may've been below the World Title, but the Intercontinental Champion had to be just as much of a draw as the World Champion in order to have that belt. Honky Tonk Man sold out Madison Square Garden with Hogan not even on the card. The feud between Santana and Valentine over the belt sold out all over the place. And other guys like Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart, etc, back in the day, you had to be a really big deal to be IC Champion. Same with the US Title in WCW and with Jim Crockett (the Tag Team Champions were also seen as on par with the World Champion).
So, I feel if TNA is only running one show with all its talent on the show there, I feel the need for a midcard type belt may take away from the World Title, and that being the belt that everyone's gunning for.
Of course, on the other side of that coin, is the potential for other wrestlers to have something to do in a storyline, and maybe test their drawing potential (which is what I feel midcard belts in WWE are being used for now). So guys like Kip James, Rhino, Eric Young, James Storm, Matt Morgan and others who are under the main guys can have something different to feud over.

Ugh, so the X-Title would officially become TNA's cruiserweight title then?
I really don't see the point in having a new title. The X-Title already helped create guys like Joe and Styles, and what's the point of having another belt if the X-Title is already the 'anybody can carry this belt' title? It'd be even worse off than it is now.

It'd be even worse off than it is now. Well thanks to Jay Lethal and The Guns, the X-Divsion now has a weight limit, though I forget what it is. The simple fact that they made James Storm and Robert Roode singles guys, promoted them as breakout stars, then threw them together for something to do, does show the need for the midcard to have something. |

Though I do not like the idea of a sixth title, methinks a television title would be a good choice.

Good idea. Let the old WWE guys have the world title. They are after all, the best draws. Let the TNA Up and Commers have the New Title. That way the younger guys can get the "HEY LISTEN!" they need from the fans, and the Old guys can give the company the main events that were cool ten years ago.

Why is this necessary, if the X Title has no weight limit?

They could always bring back the Hard 8 trophy.
I like the idea of someone defending a trophy for some reason.

Yeah, but what of the thrown together tag teams? The X-title is associated with cruiserweights. With the lack of a midcard belt, they chose to give the belt to Joe and sacrifice the division to him, and effectively making the division the joke it is today. I mean Mike Tenay said the X-belt was the equivalent of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title, a belt with weight limits. Which was 220 lbs and down...eheh...this was when Joe held the belt and faced Liger bTW..so eh. But why didn't Abyss, Sting, Jarrett, Rhino, Christian, or Nash get title shots? |

Sure. If the title fails, they can always drop it or have a unification match with the X-Division belt. Really a no lose situation.

I think if they limited X-Division, Knockout, Tag Team, and World Title bouts to PPVs most of the the time, a Television/North American championship would be a great way to have semi-frequent title matches on television, while still keeping most of the belts important.

I think a Television title is a good idea. Even if they are touring more, I think US/North American/International/whatever is a bad idea. Sure, some might think TV sounds low due to WCW, but ECW did a great job with theirs and the title just makes sense.
And as for the X-Division title covering the rest... do you guys really want a guy like Matt Morgan/Robert Roode/James Storm or whoever feuding for the X-Divsion title?

I fully support a new midcard title! I've been calling for this for about two years and finally their doing this. I mean people who have gotten too big for the X or tag titles have floundered because they aren't known enough to get world title shots but can't go back to the X title or tag titles so yes good idea!

It's only a good idea if it's a television or hardcore title.
