Waiting for the part where WWE fires like a dozen people and everyone acts confused. 24/7 title sucked, but what's going to suck even more is that some people are going to get even less of a chance now to do anything. I would like to see a true midcard title for the women.

As one of the very few people that actually liked it. Sleep well sweet Prince.. Say hello to all the other defunct Titles in defunct heaven. It was warmly greeted into the afterlife by its father, the Hardcore title. Finally together at last.

Nikki missing the trash can completely with Dakota and Bayley trying not to bust out laughing was awesome.

I expect the 24/7 Title to be pretty much forgotten. Then one day, a LONG time in the future, R-Truth will show up with it (possibly on an anniversary show) and mention being the 24/7, 365, etc champion. Someone will tell him that title doesn’t exist anymore. He will say “my bad”, then walk away, with the title being forgotten about all over again.

I’m sorry but Dana really has no ground to stand on, even if her comments weren’t really that bad. Compared to other fitness model blondes of the era, she’s never really improved in the ring (I swear she almost killed Sasha once driving off the top rope) or character wise. The ways the womens division has grown in the time she’s been employed, she’s really just lucky to be there. Outside of the ironic pop she got in the rumble a few years ago I couldn’t tell you anything she’s ever done of note, I’m sure she’s nice but that’s not really a reason to keep someone around for almost a decade, at least Tamina as much shit as she gets at least looks like threat. Once Triple H got the reigns the 24/7 title was on death watch either way, I don’t if her comments had much to do with it, might have been how it timed out.

I still feel like they could have done more with it.
Could have shot some stuff solely for social media and youtube, on the road, backstage and at house shows.
It could have been their Iron Man Heavymetalweight belt. Embrace the kind of goofy stuff wrestling can be. Instead it just became roll up, chase, repeat.

This is a good move. The title sucked ass. Mostly because it was the same old shit every week. Roll up, new Champ, roll up, new Champ, guy runs away from a bunch of jobbers, repeat.
The Hardcore Titles magic was the whole unpredictability. Someone would get smashed with a frying pan or get chased through a childrens playhouse. When you remove all that and replace it with "Roll up", it's no surprise nobody gave a shit about it.
It COULD have been good.

I think the only time recently I enjoyed a 24/7 championship was DDT's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. Which is currently held by Konosuke Takeshita's mom, Keiko. They take the concept and just plunge all the way into the deep end with the silly and absurd. The imagination that goes into booking the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship is exactly the sort of stuff WWE could have done but just sorta didn't. Which fit the fact it was a lazy filler belt. Not every reign with the Ironman title is inspired and brilliant and hilarious, but they put enough work into keeping these funny joke runs up often enough that there's plenty of funny stuff to run with and laugh about with it. It really feels like someone is actually writing ideas for the belt, where the 24/7 title felt like nobody was actually writing anything. I love it when they got really bizarre with the IHC. Like giving it to inanimate objects, a dachshund, or all the subscribers to DDT's Youtube channel.

They don't even put images of the champion with the belt on the website.
Lazy, everyone involved in that decision should be fined $4000 and asked if their choice was worth it after.

You mean champion R-truth is there... and then like 10 of the same people chase him around for 10 minutes... maybe a few people get a roll up on him... but R-truth gets the belt back anyway and they run off. Isn't well thought out and took hours to write!? Not even going into the DDT belt... just comparing it to the last 24/7 championship... Crash gave us the fight at funland, and spots like paying the APA to protect him so he can get some sleep... I Don't think 24/7 has anything nearly as memorable. Molly hitting Hurricane with a frying pan, and then Christian hitting Molly with a dutch door as she ran away... at x-8 is more memorable than Roll up palooza.

Wild that they never once tried doing a bit where a badass wins the belt (possibly accidentally) and everyone is too afraid of them to try winning it. Would have been a perfect bit for Braun or Omos or ideally Brock. Brock winning the belt and going home with it and they just film about a year's worth of wrestlers in a generic forest trying and failing to get to Brock's log cabin out in the wilderness.
Really hope Truth gets one last run of merit after he's healthy again. He deserves it. They should let him try doing some commentary or backstage interview stuff while he's on the mend, or let him work with the Performance Center and NXT to see if any of his creativity or charisma can rub off on anyone.

I enjoyed the 24/7 Title. Hence why I put this together.
24/7 Championship Facts Last night, I tweeted about the 24/7 Championship, but I missed a live event that took place in Monterrey, Mexico, therefore my numbers were wrong. - Nikki Cross defeating Dana Brooke brought the 24/7 Title Change Count to 49 for 2022 & 205 of All-Time. It ended Dana Brooke's 15th Reign at 8 Days, which was the 4th time a 24/7 Title Reign ended in 8 Days & 2nd time for Dana Brooke (her 8th Reign (7/10/22-7/18/22). It started Nikki's 11th Reign, which is the 2nd most 24/7 Title Reigns for a Woman after Dana's 15 Reigns & 4th most Reigns of All-Time after R-Truth (54) & Akira Tozawa (16). Historical 24/7 Title Facts: TOP 10 Longest 24/7 Title Reigns: 1) Reginald 7/19/21-11/8/21, 112 Days 2) Dana Brooke (1st Reign) 11/22/21-2/14/22, 84 Days 3) Rob Gronkowski 4/5/20-6/1/20, 57 Days 4) Dana Brooke (2nd Reign) 2/21/22-4/18/22, 56 Days 5) Akira Tozawa (10th Reign) 5/17/21-6/28/21, 42 Days 6) Riddick Moss 2/10/20-3/22/20, 41 Days 7) R-Truth (45th Reign) 11/22/20-12/31/20, 39 Days 8) Dana Brooke (13th Reign) 9/24/22-10/29/22, 35 Days 9) Dana Brooke (9th Reign) 7/18/22-8/20/22, 33 Days 10) R-Truth (51st Reign) 3/21/21-4/19/21, 29 Days
Most 24/7 Title Reigns 1) R-Truth 54 2) Akira Tozawa 16 3) Dana Brooke 15 4) Nikki ASH/Cross 11 5) Drake Maverick, Mojo Rawley, Tamina 8 6) Drew Gulak 7 7) Samir Singh 5 8) Carmella, EC3, Elias, Reggie, Sunil Singh 4 9) Cedric Alexander, Shelton Benjamin 3 10) Joe Average (Rick Boogs), Doudrop, Mike Kanellis, Jinder Mahal, Tucker 2 11) 37 Champions held it once

this was the peak moment of the 24/7 title for me this paid off YEARS of Graves treating Saxton like shit and I loved Graves being incredibly deflated by this the wedding segment was a close second to me

There is one idea for the 24/7 Championship I wish they had done that I had a dream about once.
This was around the time Lesnar was holding one of the titles and Heyman was with him.
I somehow won the 24/7 Title, then went up to Heyman and said it was honor, shook his hand...and ala that match between Stevie Rey and Chavo Guerrero in WCW where Chavo gave up to a basic grapple (since Chavo had to wrestle Eddie immediately after that match), I gave up while a referee was nearby and gave the 24/7 title to Heyman, letting him have to deal with it all.
