I know this is pretty unethical posting, and don't ask me what ethical posting is, but I couldn't help but blurt this out.
Did Booker technically win the title? Since the old rules of the belt were, the title can change hands on a disqualification?
Or was there a phantom change in the rules when the NWA: TNA World title became simply, the TNA World title?

Nope. That was an NWA rule not TNA rule.

Nope. That was an NWA rule not TNA rule. But all the NWA champions at the time retained their belts under the new name. The rules pretty much stayed the same, such as X-Division is no weight limits... no limits. I do understand NWA is the leading force behind the DQ rule, but it seems as though TNA never recognizes the removal of the stip. |

This is a TNA excuse to try and get you to tune into impact where you know Joe will be getting the belt back. That or it's another, "i'm holding the belt hostage" angle that's been done to death in TNA.

I was thinking, if the rule is enact, it's awfully sloppy booking. |

The rule isn't in tact. If it was Christian would've won the strap in Canada when he beat Kurt via DQ. Also, the X-Division title was not an "NWA" title - it was a TNA title. It had the "NWATNA" logo due to them being with NWA at the time he was used.

But, that was for the NWA title - not the TNA title. |

Rule or not, there wasn't a DQ in that match. It had no finish whatsoever. So this post is just ridiculous.

It was all silver, instead of a red X. |

I for one feel the post is unneccessary, regardless. However, you're wrong, because even if the match was ruled no contest, it was Joe pie-facing that one bald referee and then striking all that tried to prevent him from injuring Booker worse. So to shorten it up, Booker did nothing to warrant a reprimand or disqualification. Joe's striking the referees and anyone who moved was what caused the match to end or in TNA's defense and your own, be thrown out. Though it ended entirely due to Joe "losing his cool" or whatever TNA's reasoning is for Joe snapping. |

When Sting did it, the decision was rendered that night. The match on Sunday just stopped and Booker left. Plus, if anything, Booker should be the one DQ'd. His wife interfered in the match LONG before Joe snapped, and then Sting came in and attacked Joe with a bat.
Either way, it was done SO UNBELIEVABLY BAD that they should just make believe none of it ever happened and just say that Joe pinned Booker.

Of course though, did you expect a World title match in TNA that actually was contested between just those in the match? |

I hope Joe is the champ so we can have Sting vs Joe sometime soon but I also want to see Sting vs Booker - reminds me of WCW.

Awhile back on an Impact I heard Tenay say they had just changed the rules that week, because Homicide beat Johnny Devine via DQ for the X-Divison belt, and it didn't change hands(Tenay called it after the dision of the match).
