It'll be like the ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana TV title was for Larry Sweeney. A joke belt to give indie one-off matches some stakes.

Cody? Are you sure you want this? The NWA title...it's less than meaningless. It's an active detriment. Being NWA champion today is like being the Emperor of Carthage today.
I could count the number of people who want to see you wrestle Aldis with the fingers on my right hand even if I had taught shop for 30 years.

You keep saying it hurts people's careers but it has hurt the career of zero title holders. It doesn't do much for their careers but the idea that it actively holds them back is dumber than poo poo.

Also the only match announced for All In is the title match you claimed nobody wants to see.

the nwa title has been meaningless because it's been fought for by 50-year-old history teachers and Magnus

Cody is a legitimate big star right now and if you want to make that title mean something he is 100% the right guy to do it

Tim Storm dropping to Cody with a build towards All In, would have been a good moment but instead we get all this pointless gaga. Storm’s gone(presumably he’s summer only since teaching pays better than NWA dates), dropped the title in front of a completely hostile crowd at CZW to Nick loving Aldis who’s only notable career accomplishments to date were pulling a steady paycheck from Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett.

All the doubling down of the "10 pounds of gold" phrasing was worth it for the BTE gag where Marty Scurll talked a lot of poo poo about how tough and strong juniors are too, Magnus agreed completely and did the honorable thing of letting Marty hold the NWA title, and Marty immediately nearly collapsed when the heavy thing was placed on his hands

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I don't mind Mack getting a shot, but why in ROH? And what exactly did he do to deserve that shot? I mean, I sure as hell don't want to ever see Aldis wrestle again, but surely he is due a rematch first?

First 4 wrestlers announced so far are an ROH announcer (Cabana), the living catchphrase of SCU (Sky), a guy who couldn't cut it in either WWE developmental or TNA (Jay Bradley/Aiden Oshea) and a guy I've never heard of who was trained by the Dudleys (Mike Parrow).
