May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888663 The idea of the title being open to anyone from Raw, SD, 205, NXT, and NXT UK is actually really cool, but instead of emphasizing that, the focus is on a corny comedy gimmick with a badly designed belt and worse name that only jabronis seem to want. In other words, WWE being WWE.
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888664 Can someone give those of us who aren't watching the deets on this new title?
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888665 To be fair the Hardcore title was mostly a jobber/lower card title after Road Dogg lost it. Even if Crash Holly was awesome with it.

WWE 24/7 Title - FUGLY green belt - Open to anyone from Raw, SD, 205, NXT, and NXT UK - Despite that, only the lowest on the totem pole jabronis seem to want it - First two champions: Titus O'Neil (who won by grabbing it - that's all he had to do) and Robert Roode (who won it seconds later)
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888668 24/7 worked in 2000 worked because they had a bunch of over lower card acts. They really have none at the moment so this just seems like job guys flailing around out there and slipping on banana peels

May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888672 Was flipping channels and went to this...most of the arena is blacked out. I assume this is not a new stylish choice for Raw and it's because the draw was really poor tonight?

I guess people started leaving.
May 21, 20196 yr Author comment_5888681 The graphics were a different color too, they seem to be doing a different thing for hour three.
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888682 Yeah, seems to be an aesthetic choice visually. Looks like I'm the only one here who actually likes that concept. I'd rather see midcard acts being used on TV than just standing in line at catering.
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888683 Nah, the concept is cool. The belt is ugly as shit, but WWE is more often than not funny (intentionally) when doing over the top backstage segments. Braun got over by doing Looney Toons shit, after all.
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888684 I think it's a fun idea. Gives TV time till guys who would otherwise only appear on Main Event, and if one or two of them make themselves stand out in the process, then it's worth it. A little bit of chaos to liven up the shows. Plus those guys who are more creative can use this as a vehicle- already Drake Maverick is on Twitter, shooting videos hunting down R-Truth for the belt
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888685 In a company that already has way too much titles that don't mean shit, yeah, they need this relic idea from the Attitude Era...
May 21, 20196 yr comment_5888687 Someone on reddit had an amusing idea where the wrestlers think the belt is a piece of shit and are trying to lose it instead of win it.

Coyote and Road Runner really better though? With that said, props to EC3 for some gloriously goofy facial expressions during the Roode-Truth skit. Doesn't get him any closer to the main event, but it's genuinely funny - and you have to give him credit for embracing the shit out of this. Edit: I've giffed it. 3 hours ago, Mad Dog said: Someone on reddit had an amusing idea where the wrestlers think the belt is a piece of shit and are trying to lose it instead of win it. Where is good for wrestling on reddit? I signed up for reddit a few months ago but have avoided wrestling there like the plague. I assumed any major wrestling groups on reddit would be a cesspool. Is that wrong?
