It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.

Uno is almost too good at the evil lackey role because he's great in general and he's going to end up being the wrestling version of typecast

Don't get me wrong, at whatever point Mr Brodie's tenure as Exalted One ends, it's definitely going to be Uno who hits the coup de grace on him. He's not a lackey so much as he's the guy behind the guy. And that means you get to decide when you need a new front guy.

I don't actually mind the Judas Effect as a finisher but it should be something that Jericho has to charge up by smacking his elbow a whole bunch or it's less effective, like when Mox hits the quick paradigm shift vs. the elevated one.

He's not listed with the other champions so I'm assuming they're not officially recognizing the title until that happens.

I don't mind the judas effect but I do mind when jericho does another "regular" spinning back elbow earlier in every match that just confuses me why that isn't the judas effect.. I guess I don't know the subtle difference.

Hard disagree. The Judas Effect is awesome when he uses it as a sneaky reversal (ala how he used it on Cassidy and Kassidy), because it not only looks cooler but also reinforces the idea that Jericho is dangerous due to his guile and experience rather than pure physical prowess. When he just uses it like some regular charging move (ala how he used it on Kenny Omega), it just looks stupid as hell.

e: Now I want a match with Orange and Isaiah as a team, and the heels can't figure out who's who because their last names sound the same

the regular back elbow when someone is running at him looks a lot better than the non-counter judas effect so he should stop doing that for sure

I say they bring Ryder in and have Cage beat him for his Internet belt. Then go find a Dibiase and get the Million Dollar belt. And then Cage can go and track down all fake titles and form the Fake-Crown.

I’m less bummed about OC losing than I am about Best Friends not winning last week.

Neither night had anything particularly “important” happen though and I think that’s gonna kill general interest for a little bit.

The hosed up thing is that the FTW belt, a fake belt, looks a bajillion times better than the TNT belt, a real championship.

Is the physical belt that Cage has the same one that Taz carried around in the 90s, or is it a new one?

Night 2 featured Brian Cage being crowned (though ironically not winning it given the name of the belt) the For The Win Champion.

In the spirit of the original belt he should put tape over the Taz and write "Brian" on it like Sabu did. Don't ask me why Sabu wrote Brian.

I've always felt the belt designs of the 90s looked the best. You had the rounded IC belt, the European title, the attitude era heavyweight title. They all have very spherical clean looks. That's the same style the FTW belt has and it works. I think Cage should lean into it. Have him start coming out in an orange and blank singlet. Go all in on that gimmick.
