TNA News and Notes- Sept. 3, 2012

[Raven*]

Kurt Angle worked the weekend shows with a pulled hamstring. TNA set up six man tags to main event the shows to help Angle work while limiting his ring time.

Some filming for the new British TV show is already underway.

The TNA TV title is expected to quietly disappear for now. The final champion, Devon, who has left the company, wasted no time posting a photo to Twitter of himself wearing a WWE Raw t-shirt.

The former Luke Gallows was on the road for TNA as an Aces & Eights masked member over the weekend, so he's signed with the company.

TNA will be running TV with a split crew this Thursday as they have a house show in Dalton, GA at the same time as their live Impact Wrestling in Orlando. Locally advertised for the Georgia house show are Kurt Angle, Mr. Anderson, Mickie James, Crimson, Zema Ion, Miss Tessmacher and Mickie James.

TNA is also running 9/8 in Gainesville, GA with the same talents as well as AJ Styles, James Storm and Christopher Daniels. D'Lo Brown will be running a Gutcheck prior to the Gainesville event.

Reality star turned TNA developmental talent Jesse Godderz popped up on CBS' Big Brother last night, returning for the fifth year in a row in some capacity on the series.

It's a shame that the TV title is just going to disappear for a while. TNA made a mistake of not taking the belt off of him before his contract expired. Hopefully after Bound for Glory, there will be a tournament crowning a new champion.

and this time i really hope they use the damn belt and build a division around it

Given the belts track record I doubt this will happen.

true ...and Im hoping that Bruce see's the title in a different light then others have in the past...RVD would make an excellent champ..as would Jeff Hardy or AJ, hell even Bobby Roode..pretty much anyone who is top contender and not in the BFG series lead picture could carry this title and make a great mid card division with it. They are also losing their luster for the tag titles.

[kovu rex]

Maybe a new belt look or a new belt altogether...if they want to remain TV Title which i prefer because then they can defend it every week they need a new design...but I would prefer if they did an International Title or North American Title or something.

Disappear for now? This report makes it sound a bit more permanent:

Word is that with Devon being finished with TNA, the company may also be dropping the TV Title.

Devon did not sign a new deal with the promotion and they did not have him drop the title before he left. There was also talk of doing away with the TV Title before Devon's decision to leave the company was made.

Either way, nixing the TV Title would be completely stupid. I mean, the company so needs a damn secondary Title like that... and they also need to use it right. Come on!

Yea dammit just use the fucking thing right, TNA! Give it to a midcarder and build him up to a main event status further down the line.

My vote goes to Sir Brutus Magnus... Always!

I guess Im on the other side of the fence , I say scrap the tv title... ..

Are you gonna say why... or will this remain one of the great mysteries of life?

[X-zero]

They could have done so much more with that belt. When someone has a long run with a belt let someone beat them. It would increase the worth of the belt, make someone look good, and make all the people who lose to Devon losses meant something. Maybe it is for the best to let the legends/global/tv title die a quiet death.

[Finn]

Personally don't think they need it.

They could use guys in a tag division. They've got the X Division belt.

There's no need for 6 titles on a two hour show. It should be four as they should scrap Women's Tag as they're never going to do anything with it, and the TV title as it's kinda crap.

[Falcone]

It won't die. They'll just rename it for the billionth time.

I propose Magnus be crowned the first TNA Probably Won't Be On TV For A While Champion.
