The lucha underground title is a tv title that is only ever promoted on the show itself

and besides that it's just a dumb forum poll, so why have that weird restriction if people want it on there?

What does it mean, then, when the TNA title is being fought over almost exclusively by people who failed out of that system

lucha underground isn't a division of any larger company and is nationally broadcast and acquirable by nearly all cable television companies with a big business owner.

The poll is for titles that promotions treat as top belts. The NXT Women's Title is not one.

If you want to create a separate poll for best third-tier champion, there is nobody stopping you.

Was the ECW belt that well regarded?

Late in ECW's life, Mark Henry came not long off losing the ECW Title to squash the WWE Champion, pinning him clean 1-2-3.

The NXT Women's Champion's not long ago debuted on the main roster by getting beaten in ~2 minutes by Natalya, and the #1 contender for the NXT Women's title right now got crushed by Paige (who was at the time the #3 Diva) in about 2 minutes.

I would love to vote for Bayley or Finn, but NXT is (at the moment at least) still "just" a developmental territory for WWE.

I noted last month that after the October poll TNA will probably be removed from the polls, unless something extraordinary happens and they somehow get a new television deal.

If she's not in next month's poll it's a travesty. Main eventing a PPV in an Ironman match should count for our arbitrary wrestlemans criteria opinion poll.

Every month this thread devolves into who should be included so I don't know why you just don't include everyone you conceivably can. I guess that would be way more of a pain in the rear end for the creator but who honestly gives a poo poo about the world title designation at this point, if the majority of PSP wants to think that the Vaudevillains' title run is the most prestigious in the world at present then they should be PSP's champion

It's why None of the Above exists (and is a viable option that WILL be counted if it wins) - it serves as a representation that all the major champions of various promotions for a given month were so unremarkable/bad as to have been rejected in favor of the "Somebody else/none of these guys" option.

This month is sadly just a particularly poor field, because all of the top guys short of maybe Jay Lethal seem to be considered to have had nothing much to recommend them this time around.

It's a weird part of the summer and fall. I remember last year having similar problems. LU went dark, NJPW is booking towards KOPW. WWE is WWE. DG just got done with their last tournament. It'll pick up in October.

I believe this should be the last day before the poll closes, remember to vote if you haven't, even if it is purely for a "none of the above" option.

Well the poll is closed and it is a draw between "One of these guys" and "None of these guys" - my first reaction was to favor the "one of these guys" option but I think that would downplay how justifiably disappointed so many were with the "top" champs in September.




Hopefully October is better!
