I personally thought that match was kind of weird for like a big show, but I would say in hindsight, now that I think Alexander is definitely their top guy having him take it from Christian meant more because of Christian’s history with TNA I think.

It's good that we no longer have to describe Christian as "the greatest TNA star never to hold the TNA title"

That's either (objectively) Jeff Jarrett or (personally) Christopher Daniels

It was kind of still true at the time because they were never gonna go back to the TNA branding, but now that the belt is gonna have the TNA name again he kind of retroactively will get that TNA honor.

Daniels def the best to never have the NWA or TNA titles tho
Hmmm. Alex Shelley is in the conversation for me though.

But Daniels definitely had a couple of windows where he was closer to main eventer than Shelley ever was while TNA was TNA.

Alex Shelley... the current World Champion, Alex Shelley? The best guy to never hold the World Title that he currently holds?

Oh wait, unless we're recognizing Impact World Title reigns as being TNA World Title reigns.. then nevermind.

I don’t forsee Shelley dropping the belt before hard to kill. He’s going to Main event a proper TNA show.

I thought we were differentiating, until I realized Christian won it while it was still the Impact World Championship anyways

You still can technically. They actually sanctioned moose’s version of the tna championship before they merged it so after the Impact belts change back to TNA, there will be two TNA world title lineages.

Thought it was self evident, I mean, we count Alberto even though he was only ever GFW Champion
I feel you. Though I think you could reasonably split hairs and say that Christian was a TNA guy who never won the belt while it was actually called the TNA World Championship. Hypothetically. Not that any such conversation would be meaningful in any way.

Anyways, take it easy
