Because it's a Championship that means nothing
How? It was a big part of ECW and has a legacy bigger than some think and others don't which is a just a balanced observation.

It's very simple. FTW is Taz's title and has been anchored to Hook for a long time. They don't want that title to go on anyone else as they have more than enough other titles. they want Hook to move on to other titles and challenges and now he can because he beat legit upper midcarders clean. The title has served his purpose. As far as meaning a lot to Taz, I have to say, it is a bit disingenuous to use him as a weapon against the retirement. It's very obvious he gave his blessing since day 1 (its HIS title) and he was crying happy tears with his son. This is a silly topic unless you really wanna turn your brain off :draper2

So it's because of some stupid mark in the scrum? This is one of my problems with TK, he keeps trying to please the Twitter and Meltzer crowd, he doesn't need to.
Yep I think so. I know that and most AEW fans know that but however AEW is known for having the best matches for Instance Swerve v Danielson. That was a brilliant match. It had everything in it Drama, Blood, Excitement. I went yes yes yes a bit to much and the wife was like will you be quiet now if she can hear me in a sound proofed room do that then I was loud . I was so happy he won. There's a hell of lot more matches that I could name.

Also I don't think it's necessarily TK, The Bucks are friends with meltzer who I can't stand myself as his scoring system is a load of shit when Kurt Fricking Angie Hasn't had a five star match then I'll just ignore him.

I was legitimately frustrated when it happened, I had to take a break from the show.

Fucking hell we're all marks. We love wrestling with a passion and if that don't make you a mark than I must be that high I cant come down.

Mark is a fucking stupid word for anything.

I'll through this in let's just all take a minute and all be civil with one another . Life's to short to be bickering about wrestling. We should debate then as I've had many conversations with others we just agree to disagree. Simple as that.

Joint time hehe
I still don't get it.
It's time for Hook to go up a level and not having the title that's not officially recognised is just a way of showing Taz respect and hook will go on and become a TNT champ or Inna a year maybe he gets so hot he gets a world title shot or Goes in a trios team . Sky's the limit for the Guy and I wish him nothing but success as he's proved himself in my eyes.of having the capabilities of being one of the guys in AEW.

Dude just move on as you ain't gonna get the answer you're looking for on a website . Just use you're own logic and come to a conclusion.

Okay, my conclusion is it's a stupid AF decision and Tony needs to stop listening to these BS journalists from the scrums.

it has nothing to do with the reporter.

He won 11 defenses in a row and was in his hometown. no need to overthink it.

Feel how you wanna feel about it though
