I was watching aew dark.
And thought maybe a title for them to fight for to give the jobbers and development something to bring them up.

They can have a 4/27 title since it's a jobber show as well.

Maybe an Internet Championship that is only defended on streaming shows.

I've been thinking about that for a while too. You never want too many championships to clutter things, but Dark is really feeling like its own show at this point. In that sense I really like the idea. Could even use the NWA tv title stip where if you can defend x times you can cash it in for a shot at a major title. That said, there are 2 issues that come up.
1) Tony has said he's been considering splitting Dark into 2 shows. One that is more for the main roster people to get extra matches, and 1 that's more for true developmental and indie talent to showcase and grow. If it splits then it kinda throws a wrench into that title plan.
2) What happens to Dark when they start touring again? I know it feels like forever ago and forever away, but it's not going to be forever. I have zero idea how they're going to handle dark when that happens.

BTE Belt is legit, my favorite AEW design so far. As long as the designer makes it look awesome I'd be for it. Need some groundswell to make it happen.

Hopefully it goes back to what it originally was. They won’t need to bring in a bazillion people to give them work like they are now. |

Generally, I hate the idea of more belts. But this idea I could get behind. Just a little more purpose and intent to matches. Just ditch the pointless TNT, BTE, FTW nonsense first.

I'm so down for Cage defending that title on Dark. The main event one week is to determine the number 1 contender and then the title match the next week. I think if they did Women's tag titles, Dark would be the perfect place. Honestly, I think one of the main titles should be defended on Dark once a month. It doesn't have to be a weekly thing, but it'd help add some prestige to the show. |

Dark is such a double-edged sword for me. On one hand, I want to love it for all it gives to the indie community. It was also the way for me, on the first night of 2020, to finally see Awesome Kong in action in person. She literally squashed poor Skyler Moore. However...
These days, it's just a slog to get through. Never thought it would be longer than a Dynamite episode. I find myself looking up the advertised card, days before, and if there are matches I want to see, I watch only those, as I skip around after it 'premieres'.

I don't understand the complaints of Dark being too long. I'm not just meaning the post above this, but I've heard it a few times now. Like, it's a youtube show, you can literally just skip to the matches you want to see if you don't want to watch the whole thing or don't have the time. They put time stamps in the comments so you don't even have to scroll. Like if someone doesn't want to watch the full 2 - 2 1/2 hours, it affects them negatively in zero ways. Personally I love watching the whole thing.
I'm still curious what they're going to do to adapt when they go back to touring. Having the second show will help with getting everyone on the roster reps in, which is the other major benefit of dark. Some of these guys only get a dynamite match every 2 months. That's just not enough for them to stay sharp.

Yeah I don't see any harm in it,if you only watch Dynamite you won't even know it's a thing and it gives them something to build a new star around.
