It wasn't official in ECW either but it still meant something there! So yeah, L TAKE.
As Chris said, Taz retired it then also yeah?

Have you ever came here to post anytime it wasn’t to argue? Lmao.

Just because Taz did it, doesn't mean it's the right move.
“It was important to Taz.”

“Taz retired it also.”

“So what?” :lmao

I'm sensing a pattern here, I say something most of y'all really don't like, and we go back and forth for about a day or two.

I responded to you saying it meant nothing, try to keep up please.
Yeah, by talking about how much it meant to Taz, who also retired it, to move on to real titles also. Lol. You keep up.

It means everything to his dad.

His dad is also no longer wrestling. The title was never an official AEW title to begin with so I don't see what the problem is?

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.

What legacy? The only reason why the thing was created in the first place was because in storyline in ECW, Shane Douglas didnt want to wrestle Taz. Once Taz got the world title, the FTW title went bye bye.

Wow..

I can't believe there's 6 pages on this.

Look, my man. It's not him relinquishing a title that is important to his family - it's him going down in history as the last champ and they will own the title forever. It isn't going into some warehouse to sit or something. It still belongs to them. He didn't just vacate it for someone else to have it.

I think you just answered your own question, the legacy that Taz created when he made that title.

I hate it! I wouldn't have retired it.
