I think this is perfect for TNA. With guys like Morshima, Morgan, Abyss, Doug Williams, Tomko, and Bison Smith this title is for them. TNA could really make this work in their favor much like the KO divison. TNA could sign a guy like Nigel to get this title over or put it on Tanahashi an international star. This could help create new stars and keep some old ones out of the lamelight.

Sadly Nigel wouldn't be able to put the belt over as no one outside of the ROH fan base has heard of the guy.

New Title Ideas:
The YouTube Championship: Title defenses on YouTube only.
Submission Title (Tapout title): Belt can only change hands through KO or submission.
28 Days Later or Some Clever Name Title: When ever someone challenges for the title they risk being put on the bench for a month if they lose.

LOL!!!! Nigel has that ''it'' factor if I can quote Paul Heyman. He's one of those wrestlers that just standout. He's the perfect heel and he can make that title feel special if given the chance. Plus much like AJ he can anyone he work look good. Imagine if TNA was to put him into feuds with Daniels and Kaz over that belt. Sad to say but everyone sooner or later out grows the X Divison. The X divison to me is just a steeping stone to bigger things even. Thats why I hate TNA don't bring guys like to use to to keep it fresh and interesting.

So put someone most people have never heard of against two people who don't even work for TNA anymore? That hardly seems like good business. What I meant was that they couldn't just bring Nigel in and slap the belt on him the next week. If they built him up against legit opponents then he could possibly become a big contender in TNA. Heyman has good instincts, but he also has been out of the game for a while. |

I mean build him up but put the title on someone like maybe AJ first. That could give the title over with fans becuase AJ is considered one of the best in the world. Let guys like Angle go after the belt make it main something to people. Don't just place it on mid card guys right off the bat. The belt would look a title for jobbers if you put it on Young, Roode, James, or Rhino first. If guys like AJ, Booker, Christian, and Angle act like they're interested in the belt fans would be too.

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. don't think of just the WWE. Remember the NWA and WCW. They managed to make the World, US and TV titles all seem important. They also sometimes had multiple tag titles and a smaller guys title. |

They could always bring back the Hard 8 trophy. I like the idea of someone defending a trophy for some reason. Dude are you talking about the old "Super 8" tourney in the indies? I recall a young Billy Kidman winning it in a tourney that had Devon Storm, a Hardy and a couple of other guys who came up later |

Yeah the old NWA had almost too many but they did promote them all to mean something. The TV title feud between Rick Stiener and Mike Rotundo during the glory days of the Varsity club made me believe the TV belt really meant something. Then when Sting won it on NWA staurday night at the center stage thetre it mesant even more because that was his first major singles title.

Well, the TV title only makes sense if the World Championship isn't defended on television. Since all titles are regularly defended on free tv, it wouldn't make sense.

Sadly Nigel wouldn't be able to put the belt over as no one outside of the ROH fan base has heard of the guy. Which means more people know and care about him than half the TNA roster. Anyway, considering they book everybody to be on the same level, a mid-card belt probably isn't exactly going to help. You know, I actually have no idea who even has the Tag or X-Division belts right now. |

Worst idea ever. The problem here isn't the titles, its TNA having NO FAITH in its own talent.
They don't push guys into the main event who should be main eventing by now. Roode and Storm have been established midcarders for four years now. Of course they are above the minor divisions... but because Jarrett is too chickenshit to test them in the main event, he fills the main event slots with safe acquisitions.
Where are Storm and Roode suppose to go? AHA! Let's avoid the obvious (main event push) and throw in another title! Call it the "We don't trust our ability to build you as a main eventer so here's a shiny belt for ya" Championship.
OR they can get over the fact that Creed and Bashir aren't gonna spike tv ratings anytime soon and rebuild the X-division title's credibility to equal the World title's through some real talent.

It should be called the TNA North American Title or something. Give it to a major star like Christian/Booker/AJ, have a chase between those three, then after a year give the title to a rising star like James Storm or Matt Morgan
