So Helms is posting about being so spooked of another man that he ran away after a question and didn’t fight for his idea. That does what exactly?
Did he say he was spooked? No. Did he say he ran away? No. If you read the comments he later says there was no need to fight for his idea after Vince made him realize how dumb it was to name a title after the network they were on.

If it was called the tv title as it should’ve been, there wouldn’t be nothing to shyt on. Although Cody has said in interviews that he’s not a fan of midcard titles. :jbhmm:

Is this a move on behalf of the money mark Tony Kahn, or his network buddies?

I dig it.


It's a TV title....but instead of calling it a "Television championship" which, of course, has the "midcard stigma" on it....you literally just name it after the TV channel that it'll be fought over/defended. Makes it seem more significant b/c you're putting the name on it.


Plus you're dikkriding the suits...so that never hurts.


They DESPERATELY need this. Gives the youngins and the 2nd tier OGs like Shawn Spears something to fight for...although I could see Cody being the inaugural guy since he "CAN'T" win the world title and whoever took the title off him gets a good rub if he holds it a while.


The more obvious route would've been to just use the IWGP U.S. belt but....yaknow :francis:........

AEW has enough tag teams and both are coming into their own as singles wrestlers.
I know... it's just that something about rivals as tag teams has always intrigued me as far as storytelling goes.

It works better when it's strong singles competitors like Jericho and Moxley though for fukkery reasons.

Man, I'm itching for a Bruiser Brodie and Scorpio Skky rivalry. The dark order kidnaps both partners of SCU and brainwashes them into turning and now Scorpio has to take them all out Austin style....
Throw Pac in there as well to help (still as a heel with lucha bros) Skky out then they face each other for a chance at the strap.

Skky now has to face Pac who now has the belt after cheating Moxley.
