TNA got rid of the TV Belt source: rajah.com
TNA got rid of 6 stars, the KO Tag Belts, and the TV Belt. I think TNA is going to do something big(signing) or they have no money.

Like I just said in a previous thread, TNA is owned by Panda Energy....lack of money is something TNA will never have to worry about. I think they just realized that nobody cares about those belts.

Funny how the talking about budget cuts.....didn't they just sign Rampage the month before and they've used him twice, he's even said he's focused more on MMA than wrestling, so why waste money on signing him?

It could have been used for guys with nothing to do, to add prestige to it. Like a lower card belt. Then built back up to midcard/upper midcard and made to seem important, but sure, get rid of it...

The reason they're wasting money on signing guys like Rampage and King Mo is because, Dixie doesn't know what the f*** she's doing. She's not wrestling smart. People like X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, who have worked in TNA, have said that though Dixie is a very nice lady, she doesn't know what's doing. I bet she's thinks that by signing these guys, they'll generate extra viewers, despite their ratings are still 1.0s, 0.9s, even 0.8s (Aces and 0.8s, get it!) Dixie does not have someone in the back that's calling her out of some of the dumb business decisions she's making. She doesn't have like a devil's advocate that will question her on any decision. I bet if someone backstage in TNA were to question Dixie to help her, TNA's would be doing a lot better than it is now. Plus, signing these two MMA guys to joint contracts with Bellator? What if TNA wants to use these guys in a storyline at the same time that Bellator uses them in their tournaments? It's business decisions like these that makes TNA not even in WWE's league.

Although I like Rampage as a fighter, I think he was a bad signing for TNA. Even if he wrestles, it will probably be a decent match depending on who he's in there with. If he faces Angle, then I'm sure Angle could make it work, but anyone else, I'm not so sure.

It's a pity, the belt had potential. Not a huge loss though.

She used to have someone that would call her out and his name was Jeff Jarrett and that's why their relationship is now strained. I want Jarrett to have the majority of the control.

Aren't the King Mo and Rampage Jackson signings also done with Spike TV and Bellator?
I would assume a lot of the money for them actually came from Spike/Bellator.

WTF, when did Abyss win TV Title? ALso they took away knockotus tag, not TV Abyss won the belt at Slammiversary. Also, yeah they got rid of the Knockouts Tag Titles and honestly I never knew that site to be reliable for wrestling news, so could be true, could not be true. Hope it's not true cause TNA could really benefit from a midcard title, but it's not as if they paid attention to it.

I guess I’ll be the one (and probably the only one) to say it. This is a bad idea!! I’m going to do this in 2 parts, so if you really don’t want to read about my opinion on the Female Red Straps, you can skip ahead to the Male Red Strap. Is it a coincidence that TNA got rid of all the 3 of their Red Straps??
The TNA KnockOuts Tag Team Championship
The TNA KnockOuts Tag Team Championship is what separated TNA from the WWE. They actually gave the Women of TNA a second spotlight. The TNA KnockOuts Tag Team Championship Title Belts were made for the original Beautiful People. I really wish Velvet Sky and Angelina Love held them together at least once during its run.
Now look at this list of KnockOuts Tag Teams from the inaugural KnockOuts Tag Team Championship Tournament:
Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed The Main Event Mafia (Sharmell and Traci Brooks) Sarita and Taylor Wilde Alissa Flash and Daffney The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) Madison Rayne and Roxxi Hamada and Sojournor Bolt Christy Hemme and Tara
Now look at this list of KnockOuts Tag Team Champions:
Sarita and Taylor Wilde Awesome Kong and Hamada The Beautiful People (Lacey Von Erich, Madison Rayne, and Velvet Sky) Hamada and Taylor Wilde Angelina Love and Winter Mexican America (Rosita and Sarita) TnT (Brooke Tessmacher and Tara) Gail Kim and Madison Rayne
How do you go from 15 teams (granted they are composed of only 20 different KnockOuts, but that’s beside to point) to having only 8 KnockOuts?? Look, if anything, they should have at least kept it around and just made 4 teams out of the 8 KnockOuts they currently have. I would have gone with:
Gail Kim and Mickie James (that’s like the female version of Rated RKO / Main Event Mafia / “A Team of World Champions”) ODB and Lei’D Tapa (Vet and Rookie thing) Tara and Miss Tessmacher (the return of TnT) Velvet Sky and Taryn Terrell (the new Vicious and Delicious)
I know. It was a huge mistake to have ODB and EY win the TNA KnockOuts Tag Team Championship. It was a funny idea at the time, but they should have dropped the Titles immediately. I would have tried my best to get Hamada or Raisha Saeed to come back with a mystery partner, that partner being, Awesome Kong. From there, I would have used the KO Tag Titles the way it should have always been used, as the KO Mid-Card Title. TNA is back to where they started.
TNA Television Championship
At first it was the TNA Legends Title. I loved it!! I loved the use of the nameplate. I was really hoping this was a Title solely for Legends of Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainment. In my opinion, it actually started out that way, up until “serious” Eric Young changed it to the Global Title.
When EY changed it to the Global Title, I thought, okay, having a Legends only Title may not work in the long run, but having a Global Title as a counter to the Intercontinental / United States Title should. I mean, after all, Global is just another way of saying World or Intercontinental, but without saying World or Intercontinental. I thought it was perfect to be TNA Mid-Card Title. I even had the crazy notion that the WWE Championship = the TNA Championship, whereas the World Championship = the TNA Global Championship. I know.
When A.J. Styles changed it to the Television title, all the hope and confusion disappeared. This Red Strap was defiantly TNA’s IC / US Belt. You see, to me, the term “Television Title” doesn’t remind me of ECW’s Mid-Card Championship. It reminds me of WCW’s Lower-Card Championship, 3rd tier, if you will, very European Championship sounding.
Yes, the Le-Glo-Vision Championship Title Belt has gone through 3 name changes thanks to EY and AJ, then died and then was brought back to life thanks to the whole Devon TNA contract thing, but I don’t think they should have retired it. It was my favorite Championship Belt in TNA, cause of the nameplate, among other reasons. Now what happens to the losers of the Bound For glory Series and those that aren’t even in the Series?? Again, TNA is back to where it started.
I hope TNA, at the very least, does the right thing and give the Red Strap back to King Booker T. HAHA!! Oh screw it, I got my Belts, I don’t care anymore what they do on TV.

When a person hold a belts and loses the belt they get a replica of the belt to keep. I know WWE does it not to sure about TNA

That sucks I liked the TV Title. Now the lower card wrestlers having nothing to fight after and probably won't be on Impact much *unless to lose in a short match*.
