develop your undercard talent, don't exploit them.
We're not going to get prestige with this new title, we're in-store for comedy sketches until people forget about this thing by WM next year.
The way Lashley and Corbin weren't bothered when those jobbers ran passed them last night speaks volumes to where this title resides in the hierarchy of things. I see the argument "well it gives the undercard something to do" - and I don't buy it. If you had a competent writing team, and a boss that had a clue about today's market, you would get story lines for these undercard guys to be involved in, not comedy sketches.
As fpr belt design, well at least we can count our small mercies that it wasn't a green version of the WWE logo.
I've been looking back at NWA/WCW circa 89-92 and it's amazing how involved the story lines where re: the TV title and the US tag titles during that time.

Exactly, this title was created just because the Hollywood comedy writers cannot come up with any other or better ideas for wrestlers who werent being used.

What happened to the belt after Roode won is going to symbolize what this belts meaning will be in the future!
Looks like some cheap 7-11 belt you could win after breaking the Worlds Slurpee Drinking Record.

Yet another example of something that could be fun if people weren't complaining instantly. Sure the title is bland looking, but so what? If the segments are fun and it gets more talent on TV, so be it. I have to disagree with you on this one. I mentioned in the RAW thread last night I thought it was a stupid concept back when Crash was doing the 24/7 stipulation, but now in 2019 to actually have a title dedicated to being defended 24/7 is even stupider. Why not give us something with substance that elevates the product?

How soon until Nia Jax wins it & we hear about the "genderless" title?

The belt looks like hot garbage. Who keeps designing them? It kind of looks like a knock off version of the promotional belts Mattel made to kick off the figures. Anyways, on to the content itself. It would be nice if they took it seriously and have everyone on the roster be part of this, not just jobbers and mid-carders.

Well its better than them getting paid to sit at home and do nothing.

It looks like they took a Big Eagle Belt, removed everything great about it, painted the strap green from the left over can used for the Greatest Royal Rumble Belt, and called it 24 / 7.

It's ugly, but not as ugly as that ghetto spinner belt.

How can anyone complain about the new title looking bad when they were all in love with the original?

At least the NXT UK title proves there is at least somebody in WWE that still knows how to make a great looking championship design. And it's even sadder since it's so similar to the Universal/WWE title otherwise and shows how a dash of creativity for the centerplate can add so much more.

I didn't like the look at all but after a day... it's not sooooo bad.... I do think though that after a couple weeks of trading the title around to different people and people running away from eachother, someone like Braun Strowman or Lars Sullivan should get the title. Then they would hold it for a while and scare everyone that tries to take it from them away until they are eventually beaten.

I was done with WWE for the time being. Aside from Bray's vignettes, nothing was holding my attention anymore. This changes everything. Get over what the title look likes, it doesn't matter one single bit. It's fun, engaging and has so much potential for all rosters.

Everyone is aware that this is DDT Pro Wrestling’s Ironman Championship, right?
Hopefully a truck driving uncle can get a reign or two.

God knows we need something interesting to happen, and if this is the only way some people are going to get on TV, then hug it. I already like the fact that people are stalking Truth on Twitter and telling him they're coming for him. This might wind up being the most engaging thing the WWE has done in YEARS. I'm looking forward to intergender matches, refs winning it, hell, even Miz's dad might win it.

I’ve already told the owner of Maestro’s Classic (the guys that cut the WWE/NXT talent) that he needs to be in a segment. Hoping it happens! Haha

Yeah, it's clearly meant to resemble a clock face. That was my first thought when Foley held it up... "it looks like a ing clock".
