Why Would Hook Retire the FTW Title?

Pro Wrestling what?

Its a game like TEW.

You act like he can't have 2 titles, did we already forget he challenged for the world title?

He can challenge for it again and win, so he can unretire and then re-retire the FTW belt again like his dad did.

He didn’t win it. You can’t simultaneously have someone defend a d-tier accolade that isn’t even even sanctioned and expect the company to completely back him as a top-tier player.

If Hook carried that belt for his entire career, he'd be mocked as being the guy who is only known for the FTW belt because HIS DADDY had it.

So? Nepotism doesn't bother me.

Only jumping on in here to say it's criminal that WWE never utilized Norman Smiley following the death of WCW. He could have been an absolutely solid mid-card champion for them.

It bothers about 90% of the other wrestling fans that want to see him do something worth more.

I do expect that, sue me.

Not sure how they stand the business as a whole then, lots of nepotism.

Hook made his dad black in a video game because he thought he was black.

I’m honestly confused that they didn’t because his comedy character is exactly what Vince would’ve loved. It just feels like more blatant I won’t use anything WCW created even though it was created by his head Booker Vince Russo so if there was an exception to that policy, you would think that it would’ve been that.

 

[BillyBob42]

You mean did.

I still do.

 

[Smart Marx]

I still do.

The belt is gone. You need to come to terms with it.

I can see him now screaming his head off at Steve Blackman doing his martial arts with the sticks.
