That was a hot little match with Sabre and Lio Rush with a neat finishing sequence.

This is going happen, isn't?
The belt did matter back then, even more so, because if you switched companies they could advertise you as a former world champion and therefore you'd win more money.
Conversely people were less likely to want to drop belts because it meant a pay drop and there were fewer of them, though more recognized top belts in different regions. So getting the title was a big deal.
It's not to say that your level of stardom could outshine the belt like it did with Jake or Piper.
Belts mattered more back then. Additionally they knew how to book non title feuds better
If anything, I'd say the reverse. Belts felt way more important than now, unless you think Ramen Rings vs Hunner Hearst for the KFC Galactic Title is compelling television.

Lol I love the idea that Ethan Page just has like a rolodex of giant tall hosses to hire as a replacement Gatekeeper whenever one goes down.

Can WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump build a wall between Canada and the US so we never have to watch Ethan Page again?
I mean he should have been AWA world champion.
I want WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump in a Hell In A Cell match against Sami Zayn
you're right the Big Orange could use a W

Yeeep.
It's funny by putting more stakes (the WWN title) on this match it has even less.

They can play Keith Lee's music as often as they would like, as far as I'm considered.

Nah that's just annoying. Expecting wrestlers to work for peanuts for your gym fed just cause and getting mad when they don't is obnoxious
I was kinda hoping Keith Lee would join Catchpoint there as their main event guy.

Del Rio's going to get 2 world titles lol
Also Wrestling needs to step up its game, MMA just outcarny'd everyone: 12 year old debuting against 24 year old in women's MMA May 20

I don't know if anyone cares about the TNA world title anymore.

From the article:
"Yamasaki (2-3 Am) is coming off two losses and is hoping to get back in the win column by taking out her 12-year-old opponent who is currently a seventh grader."
None more carny.
MarkIsNow trying and failing to get himself over once again. Sad!

Kenny Omega beat a 9 year old girl in Japan
Mid 2000's when someone would leave the WWE for whatever reason and usually end up in Orlando, working for TNA, with a different but very similar name and appearance.
What in the fuck? I'm so glad I wasn't watching wrestling during this.
Ah that's what I assumed, I just couldn't think of anyone.

HHH is a guy that just can't seem to ever rise above good... which given he basically got to book himself a lot you'd think he'd have at least one great match but no he's just good I guess....
BTW my cat Smokey is the greatest cat ever and El Dandy is an incredibly underrated wrestler.

Drew's a heel in WWN and said he wanted to kill everything before he left for bigger and better things, You Sold Out is fine
The difference is that Mojo is THE MAN.
Just taking a trip through past GAF Wrasslin'
Drew seemed into the gimmick. Was 3MB actually liked here or were you all just working?
Have to see a vid of this

This gimmick was so bad it made Tyler Reks quit wrestling and re-think his whole life.
