#IntoTheFire SPOILERS!
-World TV Title unveiled, champ to be crowned at January PPV. This is great news! And great they are using the Arn belt!
-ODB debuts - great news!
-Rock & Roll Express retain tag titles - strange booking but ok
-Aron Stevens wins National Title - I’m ok with this
-Nick Aldis retains NWA World Title - great match, great promos
-Marty Scurll shows up to challenge Aldis - very nice!
Sounds like a winner of a ppv to me

- I don't think they need another championship. The core roster is quite small and the TV Title will pretty much serve the same purpose as the National Title. Will play this one by ear.
- Never been a big fan of ODB although willing to give her a chance.
- RNR Express is a bit meh. I wasn't a big fan of their TV match and think they're too old to reasonably be NWA World Tag Team Champions for too much longer.
- Very much like the Aron Stevens victory. Hoping for a feud between him and Cabana who has also really won me over lately.
- Aldis retaining is good. He is the guy to carry the company right now and is still very compelling and interesting.
- Scurll if he works the NWA style is a great addition.

More titles? Smh, I think the tag titles are not needed, now they bring in the tv title.
Another PPV in a month,pre orders must have been phenomenal.

I'm happy to report that the roster is filling out a bit more on the tapings. I still 100% think that it was too early for the TV title, but I think they can make it work. To me, that means that Aldis' defenses shouldn't be on TV as much if at all, they need to feel more special. I think that what would be best for the NWA is that Aldis continues to defend the Ten Pounds of Gold in various promotions. IE the genesis of the YouTube series, Ten Pounds of Gold.

I'll be OK with the TV title if it is defended in CWfH (and of course when the NWA is taping) and not on house shows. Even if it is a mainstay there that's fine. But no TV title defenses on non TV shows...

I like the TV title returning. The Corgan-NWA is being smart in utilising the JCP assets that Vince hasn't taken. Vince has the JCP footage, brands like Starrcade and the Great American Bash, as well as the big gold belt and the US title. I think it's smart for the NWA to use the national title and the TV title along with the ten pounds of gold, the tag belts and the Crockett Cup. The more it feels like the old pre-1990 NWA the better as far as I'm concerned.

But no TV title defenses on non TV shows... They're crowning the title on PPV. Not sure if you count that as TV (I don't) so it seems they've gone against what you're saying already. |

PPV is still a form of television.

In Jim Crockett Promotion and Championship Wrestling from Georgia the TV titles weren't really TV titles at all. They were just secondary titles and were often defended on non televised events. At one time the idea was the title was always on the line for the first ten minutes of any singles match the champion had and this was brought up again when Mike Rotundo held the title. This way the heel champion could lose matches but not the title.
Many of the original TV titles were set up as "Beat the Champion" style titles. It was the only title defended on TV often on a weekly basis. It was used to help get over younger or new talent or they would put it on a veteran to use in a gatekeeper role.
