I really hope they do put something over the black TNT cos it looks ugly and way too harsh the way it is.

I would never have known the building was supposed to be Ted Turner's mansion if I hadn't been told. We don't have TNT channel here so I know nothing about it.

Also why is the strap red?

I'm a fan of the red strap, especially for Midcard titles. Any alternate strap color really, but only for midcard ones bc I prefer my world titles to be classic

I would say there's a good chance it's an homage to the NWA TV Title which is kinda like the spiritual predecessor to this belt.

Gonna be awkward if they ever move networks or TNT changes it's name lol, cos then they'll have to change the name and get a new belt :lol

I just hope the finished product looks better.

It is definitely an homage to the NWA TV Title and also the NJPW US.

I mean, the name of the show even is a play on TNT. They're in for the long game.

'Unfinished belt' just sounds like a stupid 'disclaimer' so that when people shit on it, that's just the excuse to grab, 'oh, it's ok, it's not done yet'. If it's not done, why even bother presenting it?

I really miss old style belts, they were so much nicer and an air of prestige. That belt is shit, and, not taking the 'unfinished' excuse, no one puts something out there that isn't done.

And when the belt is gold plated? Then what?

It's not like they came up with some shit hours after the fact when everyone had already shit on it. They said as soon as they brought it out on TV that it wasn't finished. :lol

They shouldn't have presented it in the first place if unfinished imo, and, the gold plate isn't going to change much at all for me, only because of the giant black TNT. I guess I just hate belts that need to have giant lettering on them spelling out the network haha, just looks so pathetic. I am just a bitter asshole atm, too. If they got rid of the TNT lettering, it would look better.

BTW, fucking amazing that I am responding to an Elongated Clit, that is awesome lmfao

I think mainly because they had all this announced and people would’ve probably been mad if they didn’t have a title for the title match. So they was gonna have all these complaints any way.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't, I guess.

I am just hating the TNT part of the belt so much. The gold plating does look nice, but, the bold, black TNT ruins it for me. Maybe I am just petty.

I could do without it also, but it’s not gonna be make or break for me. Maybe at some point it will get a better redesign.

I think they felt they had to since they had Tyson there, he had to be serving a purpose.

Either that or they knew they had a shit belt and thought they could save face by having Tyson be the one to present it.

Who knows.
