I think it needs to merge with the Continental and International titles. Having Okada and Omega hold the other ones has been great, but now the TNT title is just relegated to last place.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

The going rumor (and again, take it with a grain of salt, because you know, the internet heh) was that they were going to do Kenny vs Okada at All In to unify the two titles but yea, I agree the TNT title has become kinda nothing

mrbananacheeks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah that’s why I mentioned both because I’m HOPING they merge those two soon. It’s just a hope still, but a huge one. I mean, Omega/Okada is worthy of a stadium show

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

100%, and would make total sense.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is going to be an unpopular opinion but if/when they merge those two, they need to redo the Continental Classic and not have the belt be part of it.

mrbananacheeks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not unpopular at all, at least not in my opinion. I think it should lead to a title match, but elevated somehow. Like no interference or auto DQ, maybe a cage. Something that says, Congrats on winning a grueling tournament, here’s a real shot that can’t be spoiled by interference

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly, the winner picks the stipulation. You want best of 3, fine. You want a cage, fine. I Quit? Sure.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nah, I totally agree. Like the G1 winner gets a shot at the IWGP title, but AEW uses the Owen to do that, so I get why they opted for a new belt, but it should just be trophy and something else, maybe also a shot at the world title.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

They run the C2 around the end of the year, so using it to set up a big title match at Worlds End would be cool. And then still use the Owen to set up a title match at All In, they are evenly spaced out about 6-8ish months apart so its still a good gap of time to dole out title shots.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Those titles feel stagnant right now too.

It needs a big name. Let Jay White or someone on that level take it and just blow it up like OC did with the International.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

100%. I know we were talking about this the other night too but when Cole said so many people were after his title tonight and I was like "cmon man, you haven't been in the ring forever" and then thought about how little DG also defended the belt and just think whats going on here.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's what got me thinking about it too.

I want Swerve or Hanger or Jay White to come in and take it. Turn it into one of those 1B titles that get hotly contested.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't love hot potatoing a title, but the TNT feels good for that, and seems like thats what it was for a while. A good stepping stone for new guys but also something people are gunning for, leaving the C2/IC has a more long running higher range title to be defended frequently.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cole doesn't even have anyone gunning for him. That's why his schtick was really funny.

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right? Like they teased that Sammy thing... and then nothing happened? They have so much great mid-tier (not in a bad way) talent that should be going after that belt weekly, along with one or two bigger names like you said. ESPECIALLY when you have Cole holding the belt, who is like a top star

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sammy stood there doing the 'I want the title' gesture and instead we're getting more of him and Dustin.

I'd rather have seen Cole/Sammy

Put it on one of the hounds of hell and bring back a version of house rules matches, but with a new name.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think Brody would treat it like OC did with the International. That was an amazing title run.

thatdr-v.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think the tnt should be a more of like a scramble/gimmick title. Like have it defended early in ppvs in 6way flippy/lucha matches.

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would love to have someone win it and then declare it would only be defended in four ways. That would be fun as hell.

michaelemond.bsky.social•2 days ago

It seemed like they were going to team him with Garcia against FTR, than he did commentary and teased Sami and Hologram but neither is happening at DON. I wonder if he got banged up from that match with Claudio which was very stiff

mollymollz.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's been a lot of shuffling the decks. That commentary spot was really strange now that you look back on it.

thenorseawakened.bsky.social•2 days ago

Put that fucking title on Brody King so it’s actually worth a damn again
