The NWA:  TNA Heavyweight Title
by Brady Lewis

Since the WWF is in a total state of denial about its product and its fans, and continues to present stories and matches that no one wants to see, NWA:  TNA has become a pretty viable alternative.  They have some amazing wrestlers and matches, and even a few storylines that are worth watching.  Granted, they do have a good amount that makes you rather watch Ellen Degeneres.  However, I watch for the WRESTLING, which makes NWA something worth watching.

Now, I have a problem with this branch of the NWA.  They have this "thing" that they call a world heavyweight championship.  Let us take a look at it.


Indeed, use www.highspots.com. I use it all the time.

Does this look like a heavyweight championship to you?  It sure as hell doesn't look like one to me.  In fact, let’s put this into perspective.


WWF Cruiserweight Title


WWF Intercontinental Title


WWF Tag Team Title (in toy form, but I suppose that's just indicative of the whole division)

IT LOOKS LIKE A SECONDARY BELT.  Your image, as a wrestling company, starts at the top.  It starts with your main singles belt, you World Heavyweight Championship belt.  If it looks like a secondary title, what hope do you have of people taking you seriously?  It is hard enough for them to compete with the WWF in the first place.  They are already considered the "minor leagues," and this sure as hell isn’t helping them.

WWF has the right idea.  They have had some great heavyweight title belts in the past, and still do, with the exception of that damn John Cena fucking spinning fucking shit.


Classic WWF World Heavyweight Championship


World Heavyweight Championship

 

THESE are heavyweight championships.  Why?

  1. They are larger than the other titles.
  1. They have a roundish shape to the main portion.
  1. They are easily recognizable compared to their lesser counterparts
  1. I say so.

 The only reason that you can tell a difference between the NWA Heavyweight Title and the X Division Title is because the X Division belt has a gigantic red "X" across it.  What needs to be done is to make the main belt bigger and rounder. 

In fact, I have a way to fix this problem for them.  Here's what you do.  You guys always talk about how cool your six-sided wrestling ring is, right?  Well, why not have your belt have a hexagon-like main portion?  And don't give me crap about how this is the traditional NWA title that you are using.  First of all, it isn’t the original one, and its lineage dates back, at most, 15 years.  Second, you guys never even distinguish yourselves as "NWA."  You mainly hype yourselves as "TNA:  Total Nonstop Action."  The NWA part rarely ever enters the equation.  So, why not just stop calling yourselves NWA, and just go with TNA, and have a TNA World Heavyweight Title?  You can design it yourselves.  Or, better yet, I'll do it.  I'll do it for free.  I'll do it for free because I want this new NWA to succeed.  WWF really needs someone to kick them in the ass.
