Can you just take what I said for what it is worth? Move on to something else there's no need for virtually the same post a half dozen times. It isn't life or death.

Lol I just looked it up and they "retired" the belt. Guess they couldn't get Cody to mail it back.

J-Ru should start coming down on Rovert for his stupid pseudo-scoop look at me bullshit, it's total derail bait.

Anyways the Lucha clusterfuck opener for Slammiversary was fun, but how are they allowed to use Drago and Hijo de Fantasma on TV? Don't their LU contracts forbid it or does AAA have some workaround clause?

LU has basically given up on doing their own talent relations, so AAA handles it now.

The OP is right. Rovert's post this time was fine and completely harmless, the derail about him was far worse.

FWIW I heard rumours, either on one of the TNA fan sites or somewhere else, that they had new belts made but there was a mistake with them and they have to be made again.

Oh that part is true and in the public domain. Was on Wreddit. But what the mistake was is the issue.

The leading story/theory I saw was that the X Division title was just a rip off of the old NXT title. That's the one the BeltTalk forum had.

But what I trust to be the real story isn't that. Will wait to see if it is in the Observer first then I'll post it either way.

In all seriousness, I wonder how much a mistake like that would have cost? The actual proper, real belts are supposed to be pretty expensive to produce, right?

I guess it depends on which end the mistake was on, like I imagine if it's the belt makers error they would have to eat the cost. On the other hand, if TNA gave them the wrong design, keep an eye out for Don West desperately shilling "one of a kind" IPMACT title replicas on the website.

I'm happy that this isn't the full story though because I could use a good GFWTNA lol today.
