NWA Championship must change

I’m watching TNA Impact right now and after seeing Abyss raise that NWA Championship belt over his head I’ve decided to sound off on that belt. The NWA championship belt design is that of the older pre-WCW days. It appears the same as the one Harley Race lost to Ric Flair.

The NWA Championship belt looks like a trinket.

That being said, the NWA belt looks like a trinket. It does not show the importance of a championship worth fighting for. At least the X division belt looks more modern. Replace that damn chintzy championship belt with a new design. A good example is the IWGP championship belt – I saw it after Brock Lesnar won it and it looked like a real chamipionship belt. See the IWGP Championship below.

Angle to TNA

Holy flurkin’ snit.

Kurt Angle has jumped to TNA. Now I have to start watching Impact again. TNA has a golden opportunity here. Angle is already a huge star. All TNA has to do is ride that. Angle could make TNA a legitimate competitor to the WWE. If he signed over there, what’s to stop other top WWE names?

TNA has to play this carefully. This could be their one chance to get a major superstar in the business and get people to switch to TNA from the WWE. Maybe with Angle’s jump, Chris Jericho isn’t far behind.

I am a bit shocked that Angle would burn his WWE bridge like this. Hopefully, TNA is protective of Angle and will not let him kill himself in the ring. The schedule should be less rigorous and could be advantageous.

There may just be a new wrestling war.
