WWE's Paul Heyman is not a big fan of having a "multitude of titles" at one time unless they have enough TV time, confirming reports that he fought against the idea of introducing a mid-card title during his time as SmackDown Head Writer in the 2000s.

"I’m not a big fan of a multitude of titles, unless you can give them enough time. We had proper focus, at that time on the championships we had and didn’t feel we needed more championships to tell better stories, and felt that the introduction of more championships only waters down the championships that we already had the spotlight on at that moment.

"What works works and what doesn’t doesn’t, if you can make it relevant, all pun intended to the island of relevancy, then it will work. If you can’t make it relevant then it won’t.

"Listen if there are 14 titles and they all mean something then you should be looking at doing number 15, if you have seven titles and you’re struggling to put relevancy on all seven then you need to cut down on the number that you have."

(Interview with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri)

*He makes a good point, it feels as if they need another show to showcase all these titles*

There's nothing wrong with his statement, but I honestly don't think it applies to the E. There's more than enough talent in the main roster to warrant mid-card titles, especially when booking is limiting those in the world title pictures to a chosen few.
 
So now, one of the sheets is reporting that Jade Cargill is actually NOT legitimately injured and everything is a work based on their sources in the E.

I can't believe idiots are still complaining about tonight's episode being taped. It's the holidays, you inconsiderate bastages. Let the wrestlers enjoy time with their families like everyone else you sick forks.

Just another example of the IWC being stupid
 
Talk about fall from grace. After being the hottest name in wrestling, you're relegated to this (loser wears a turkey costume)...

And we thought Tony Khan's booking decisions were bad.
 
I'm just catching up for tonight, but this US title match seems kinda rushed right? I'm guessing they would only rush it to do a title change, right?
 
Matt Riddle showed up at TNA Turning Point as the replacement for Trey Miguel.

TNA must be real desperate for wrestlers right now
 
My War Games prediction... Rock causes a team the match.
 
The last match was good but for some reason I still felt a little meh afterwards, expecting something to happen but nothing did.
