SirFozzie Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'd go with the exact opposite. Darby beats MJF after Cody gets involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I feel like MJF is kind of above the title a bit as the #2 heel in the company. I was thinking Darby/Brodie Lee doing their best King of Cable impression. Which sounds pretty rad. Tony with "Brodie Lee, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side, is the new TNT Champion" on the call to close it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If Cody is in charge of that belt, I'd bet on a good working heel holding it, a la Tully, Arn, Rotundo, Regal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the instant idea that yah MJF is above the title but then again he's the closest thing they have to those classic NWA/WCW TV title guys.

How about Sammy Guevara? Darby chases Sammy for the title as Sammy continually gets by with help from the Inner Circle before Darby eventually wins the title. I also like the idea of Brodie Lee being the first champion. Edited March 31, 2020 by Nice Guy Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 MJF already has the 1st annual Dynamite Diamond Ring - let another heel get some shine with the new title if a heel champion is what they want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Stupid name for the title. Darby-Sammy final, book it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don’t really have a negative opinion about the title, it’s just when I saw it on the bracket I thought, “Oh, it’s called Dynamite because it’s on TNT,” and realized I’m stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Nitro also was called that because it was on TNT. I’m surprised people haven’t noticed the similarities to how they modeled AEW after WCW. Tony was a DVDVR poster. So of course he had an irrational love for WCW old, and near its death.

AxB Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 There is already a promotion called TNT Extreme Wrestling, out of Liverpool. So the TNT Championship already exists. David Starr beat Mark Haskins for it last October. Dark appears to be all Squashes/tryout matches again this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The inaugural champs so far have been Jericho, MJF, and SCU, feels time for a babyface win. Darby is a good call, but he's almost at that world title level now. I'd give it to Jungleboy. Get Jurassic Express some more momentum plus you start setting the table for Jack as future big name.

Craig H Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 SCU were babyfaces when they won the tag titles and they still are faces. They then lost the titles to two of the most over faces in the company. The current world champ is a face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If they are going WCW TV title route of having a heel give babyfaces shine and barely survive challengers, Sammy Guevera is the next best bet after MJF. It's nice how they've established quite a few of their "own" guys in such short time. I can already imagine how hard a guy like Spears is campaigning to be the first TV champ.

I know, I'm saying 2 out of 3 inaugural champs were heels so maybe make this one a face to balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 MJF has been teased to go after Mox. So Sammy being champ would make more sense, but then putting the belt on MJF would add more prestige to his claim to being the face of the promotion.

Bill S. Preston ESQ. Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I hope MJF is nowhere close to challenging for the AEW World Title or being the face of Dynamite. Not impressed at all thus far with him. I’d put him into TNT Championship contention for the next year at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Too bad Corgan beat them to the idea of the five-minute time limit on the TV title. They could have done that gimmick and named it the Worldwide title instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This may just be my personal preference, but if the World title is on a face, the secondary title should be on a heel, and vice versa. Just seems like an easier way to tell unique stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) At this point we just need a separate thread just for Hangman's tweets. EDIT: Also, no more Dynamite from Daily's Place since it's being used as a coronavirus testing center. Quote Due to the coronavirus pandemic, AEW has changed their Dynamite and Dark taping schedule again, moving them out of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, FL, to an undisclosed location. It is believed they will be taping matches throughout Tuesday and Wednesday for this week's Dynamite and Dark as well as future shows. The company is attempting to keep the new location private because they don't want fans showing up and waiting in the parking lot and/or looking for autographs. The location is believed to be in the Southeast where they are doing a significant amount of taping today. The city of Jacksonville is setting up the parking lot near Daily's Place as a major coronavirus testing center and an early edict this week closing down all hotels in the city except to essential personnel would have made it difficult to continue to run shows there. AEW has had to postpone dates throughout the United States in recent weeks as arenas closed up shop due to the ongoing health crisis. North Carolina is in the Southeast. Hmmm....

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think they were already using the parking lot for testing, but the hotels in the city being closed off pretty much put a kibosh on continuing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flair’s Shadow Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My TNT Championship Bracket Prediction: (I won’t be close..obviously) Stu Grayson Darby Allin Allin Jungle Boy Sammy Guevara Guevara MJF Colt Cabana MJF Cody Wardlow Wardlow Wardlow defeats Cody because of interference from MurderHawk. Wardlow steps out of the ring to give MJF a count out victory and MJF is fresh for a final vs a beaten up Darby Allin who gets destroyed by the rest of Inner Circle after he defeats Spanish God. MJF gets a victory over a 30% Darby Allin to become the undefeated, undisputed, reigning and defending TNT Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
