With our roster growing we have the tag titles that are debuting soon, the heavyweight title and the women's title but a thought has been occuring to us for a while to maybe debut a secondary singles title, something with a bit more of a special stipulation (nothing over the top, but something more unique.) So here is where you can give us your thoughts!

Maybe a Television Title or something along those lines?
EDIT: Or my idea I mentioned on Skype: A title that has the following restrictions on defending/challenging for it -
1) No hardcore or high-risk styles.
2) Strike, grapple or submission only.
3) 15-minute time limit.
4) No over the top rope anything.
5) All action must remain inside the ring.
6) Anything else?
This is an idea modified with help from the guys in the Skype chat, mostly Mercer.

I like the old school "no over the top" rule. It used to be cause for disqualification. I'd really like to see a stipulation match where that is implemented. I can see the value in not allowing the match to be contested outside the ring, but it seems like there is too easy of a way to win based on that. If you can kick your opponent under the bottom rope you win. I was thinking more of a rarely used 20 count ring out rule.

Well, I meant you'd get DQed if you went off the top rope or over the top rope and out of the ring. I see the not being inside the ring and thusly getting DQed an issue... BUT... bear in mind that back in the day, regarding the no over the top rule, heels used to use that to their advantage all the time! Either chucking guys over the top rope when the ref wasn't looking, or tricking their opponent to either legit tossing them over it, or forcibly tossing themselves over it after a move their opponent did, costing their opponent the match. So yes, it could be exploited by heels, but that's the beauty of it. Dishonourable conduct to push that sweet sweet heel status... or honourable conduct reinforcing that fan-favouritism.

If you can kick your opponent under the bottom rope you win. I was thinking more of a rarely used 20 count ring out rule. I agree as "over the top" did used to be a sure disqualification. I wouldn't necessarily say to have that here but that's up to management. The "20 count ring out rule" is used in ROH as WWE and TNA use the 10 count rule, so I'd have to agree on having the 20 count rule. I'm a fan of "old school" anyway, so to use some of the rules and then use some "new school" would be great too. The Television Title or even an Internet Championship maybe could work. I would say something old like the Intercontinental or Universal Championship which would be treated like the X Division title or the Cruiserweight Championship. Maybe call it the "Unstoppable Title" or something but it would be defended each week. I was also thinking how the 24/7 rule could come back like with the Hardcore title. That's just some ideas but whatever comes up with, I'm good with. |

I'd like the sound of a "MSW Pride Championship" or a "Zero Gravity Championship". Pride Championship would be more suitable for the idea that Bonecrusher suggested no hardcore or high risk moves, strike grappe submission only, all action must remain in the ring. Whereas Zero Gravity would be more high risk; with perhaps decided by weight division? Say below 225lbs. Sorta like the crusierweight championship and X-Division.
Zero Gravity
- Must be below 225lbs
- Championship can only be defended in a Ultimate X stipulation
- If the champion holds it for a certain period of time, he can choose to bank in the championship for a shot at the world.

Zero Gravity Championship was done over in Force 1 Wrestling; so, no.
Internet Championship was done by OCW; and fifty thousand other feds since; so, no again.

I like the sound of the MSW Pride Championship. Also, if the title is going to be defended weekly then there should be no specific stip that excludes anyone. Weight division excludes a lot of people, hardcore excludes a lot of styles. Also with hardcore, I'm a firm believer that any sort of weapon match should be used sparsely. It ruins the wow factor of it. It's also a good way to injure your roster. Stips like no over the top or a 20 count, or a manditory handshake, or striking/grappling/submissions only doesn't really exclude anyone. It's apart of basic in ring training. Anyone could put on a believable match like that if they really got clever about it.

A 2nd title would be good. But also we need to make sure we have the numbers to do that first. We have a solid core now don't get me wrong but sometimes shit happens and we lose people and then the 2nd title would become useless. But maybe after Back to Basics we see where we are at and maybe do it.
But I think that we need to make sure that the title is different from the World Title. Maybe make like an Extreme Title or something. By that I mean whenever the title is defended it has to be some sort of gimmick match. AKA. Tables, Ladder or Inferno. I don't know just an idea.
