Not a drastic change on that one. Still looks good though. A world title should be large in size, they got it right.

These new belts look nice but is it just me or do they all kinda look the same design wise unless you get in close on the details?

Fightful says multiple TNA signings are likely to be revealed in upcoming weeks.
Steve Maclin recently recalled how he first became a fan of TNA, citing the company’s X-Division as the reason. Maclin spoke with Fightful for an interview ahead of last night’s Hard to Kill and talked about his appreciation of the X-Division and more. You can see a couple of highlights below:
On first becoming a fan of TNA: “I started training at the Monster Factory in Paulsboro, New Jersey and it was about a year and a half before I was signed. So the goal was always WWE. I grew up in the north east, that was the promotion. There was no mid-south for me growing up. I enjoyed WCW, but the cruiserweight side of it, then I’d flip to RAW and watch RAW. Then when TNA came along, it was right after WCW folded and the X-Division is what drew me to TNA just ‘cause it was different.”
On the nostalgia factor of the TNA name returning: “That’s, I think, what draws anyone to anything nowadays. What’s different? What’s new? What’s fresh? The old saying of what’s old is new, TNA coming back is the old, but it’s still new because people want that. They want that nostalgia. They want the TNA chant. For Scott to stand there in the middle of the ring and say, ‘We’re fukking back,’ it’s pretty cool because now I’m like, ‘I get to say it as much as I want. The boss is saying it and not getting fined, I’ll take care of it.’ But it’s just cool.”

Maclin has been really good in TNA
It's crazy how so many wrestler I never cared about go to TNA and actually get a chance then I become a fan,same thing happened with Cass
TNA doesn't get the credit it deserves for helping wrestlers find what they need to succeed,look how many wrestlers who improved their work in TNA then left and got big contracts somewhere else
Gail Kim recently talked about the return of the TNA rebrand and why the six-sided ring isn’t coming back with it. Kim spoke with Ring the Belle ahead of last night’s TNA Hard to Kill, and you can see the highights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On her reaction to the return of TNA: “When I heard the news, it was a secret, and I was jumping for joy. Some people were like, ‘Are you sure that’s the right move?’ I was like ‘Absolutely it’s the best move.’ It’s given us nothing but momentum and I think people are excited for the nostalgia. It’s just been a really exciting year. I think we’re going to go for it in 2024.”
On the old TNA six-sided ring: “I went back and forth a couple of times, and I will say, I don’t mind [the six-sided ring]. It is harder on the wrestlers’ bodies, so in that regard, I’d rather have longevity within our talent. When you’re tagging, it is a lot of mak[ing] sure you’re whipping to the right part of the ring so it looks cool. I think it’s unique, and I love that the fans love it, but overall, I think the four-sided ring works better.”
