You know the WWE is not doing much to interest people when Raw happens and the only conversation this topic is having is "what was TNA's dumbest year?"

Catch Smackdown tonight!

I don't think the TNA Legends title was ever exclusively held by legends. Like not even from conception. Wasn't it just a prop belt that Booker T started defending randomly.

No... much much dumber than that.

AJ stole it.

AJ was arrested.

The belt was returned to TNA (why? Don't know)

They gave the belt back to Booker. (This somehow made it a real Title, how... don't know)

They made Booker defend it against AJ.

DONT GIVE A FUCK!!!!

We get AJ vs Lesnar. Thank you god

Man, what a snoozefest. Atleast with Jinder/Lesnar, it was a question of if they'd come up with some screwy way for Jinder to win to protect him. They only put the belt on AJ so he can job to Lesnar.

It'll be an awesome match though.

Obviously Brock wins.

I hope so, but I don't really expect it to be. Brock only does spotfests anymore, and AJ doesn't really have anything that works for it.

So who passes Punk's 434 day reign now? I would have put money on Jinder

Finn maybe? I can't see anyone else remotely on the blue brand or who might be soon.

50% chance it's an awesome match, 50% chance it's Boring Brock doing his five hundred suplexes while AJ wonders why he's not allowed to even pretend to be relevant

They wouldn't count the Universals 435 day reign as the longest when the belts are unified again in 3-5 years?

No. they didn't count Hogans multi year run with the WCW for the Undisputed, and they didn't count Trips or Batistas near year long run with the World when it became Unified. So they won't count Roman's 3 year Universal when they get combined again...

I could see Owens maybe

Ah, if that's the case then I have no idea who break's Punk's record. Hoping for Owens

I can see him getting around a year someday.

I can't see him ever making it out of a
Mania as Champion.
---

Jey Uso may be injured.

Eesh.
---

I mean if they let AJ wrestle Lesnar ala Brock/Punk from Summerslam 2013 then it'll be Brock's best match since coming back to the WWE.

I don't expect it, mind you, but it has a much higher ceiling than Brock/Jinder ever had.

Oh wait guys, this is where Luke Harper was after Wrestlemania!

Would I be willing to watch 4 hours of TNA for $50? ...That's actually a tough question.
---

Keep in mind thats Canadian dollars
---

Getting paid to watch wrestling.

But you have to watch TNA.
---

corrupt a wish is real
---

But is this the smartest thing to do if you're pulling out your hair because your wrestling company just keeps losing money?
---

I mean, can you even make 75 people look like a packed crowd?

Or are they still selling tickets too for the REAL suckers?
---

The AWA in its death throws had more dignity

And they were running catch-a-greased-pig matches in front of less than a dozen people

No, its free attendance just like the old Impact Zone
---

Yikes.

Just... yikes.

Maybe for Thanksgiving, TNA could copy the AWA

The old Impact Zone was also filmed at an amusement park where they could drag a bunch of people there, and they also had a dedicated group of people who came to their tapings routinely.

Are there books about this death?
---

No because its pretty mundane

Vince and Crockett poached all their stars because Verne was behind the times
---

Should add that up until 84 they were just as powerful as the WWF and the NWA, so theres no crazy history about their existence pre-decline either.
---

It takes a special company to fuck up enough to make for the kind of entertaining reading that WCW managed. We should be grateful TNA came along to give us a second example of what should have been a once in a lifetime experience

Well, it's less impressive when you consider a lot of the same guys contributed to its demise, but yeah.

PHENOMENAL STATS!!!!

With his win tonight AJ Styles enters rarified air indeed.

You pretty much have to be one of the best there has ever been (or be Jeff Jarrett) to reach 9+ World Title reigns.

It's a list to be sure.

Rocky, Flair, Hogan, Sting, Cena, Gagne, Angle, Orton, Edge, Triple H... Double J....

And now Alan Jones Styles.

He also creates an joins an even more Elite Group.

So Elite only the Nature Boy and his TNA protege are in it....

He has now held FOUR different World Titles multiple times.

NWA
TNA
IWGP
WWE

To match Flairs NWA, WCW, WWF, WCWInternational.

They truly don't want none....
---

Flairs 16 count doesnt include WCW International

It is included by the people that have him at 22 though

I'm one of those people.... as you know (I think I actually had him at 25, I'd have to get that docutment I did a couple years ago)

I forgot Sting though.... he is also on there.

(I always forget that the NWA was the same thing, cause I associate one with WCW and one with TNA)

Sting has WCWI, WCW, NWA, TNA multiples of each copy.

The moral of this story is have the belts switch brands and AJ win the Universal twice....

Speaking of Flair, his 30 For 30 documentary aired tonight

How do you feel about them saying this is the first time the WWE Championship ever was won in not North America when in kafabe.... it was originally won the very first time in tournant in Brazil?
