Both the men’s and women’s Speed titles are sticking around and will be a part of the NXT brand moving forward instead of Xitter exclusive.

        Wow, how prestigious. I was going to make a joke about it being up there with the one Gillberg held for a year and a half, but at least the Light Heavyweight belt had a respectable history. Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy.

          Maybe, but you aren’t wrong :P. The light-heavyweight belt was a legit title, the Speed titles are just Elon wanting to wank at the idea of people going in droves to twitter to watch what’s basically dark matches. And clearly no one did since its been dumped and going to NXT now so WWE can justify the $20,000 belt production costs.

            You know, sometimes I miss watching wrestling. Then I hear, like, anything about it and know I made the right choice.

            For example according to Wikipedia Roman Reigns is “Regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world.” When I quit he was unwatchable and said he didn’t really care about it but it was an easy paycheck because of his family. Apparently he held a major title for over 3 consecutive years. Glad I missed it.

              There is for the record tens of thousands of wrestling companies in the world, WWE and their shit affects only themselves. You can get plenty of fantastic wrestling at a moments notice without any WWE connection.

                I’m aware, but since Lucha Underground I’ve never really been interested, I just find it all fascinating to read about.
