>they really got rid of those 2 gorgeous & prestigious looking Championship belts for that gay ass small little "World Title" belt they have now that is the same shape as the old Diva's butterfly Title belt
>and the IWGP Global belt now is just a shittier & downgraded version of the original white strap Intercontinental belt

it's genuinely hard to believe they not only replaced these belt designs but also retired their lineages

It's fucking disgraceful what they did. Both those belts & their historical lineages should still be active today.

me neither. my hunch for the design change was to sell toys. i have no clue why they would throw out the histories, especially for the world title

Harold era. Everything before then was irrelevant.

I really wonder what the problem was, because I don't think it was the money. I wonder if they wanted him to retire or take time off or something or if it was just about not keeping the belt on him.

it was about money. look at his peers. nakamura is making hundreds of thousands in WWE to do absolutely nothing. okada is making a couple milly in AEW. tanahashi is president so he's making fairly good money. naito wants the big bucks too but NJPW is in the fucking mud so they said hit the bricks.

being a "freelancer" means he's getting paid for one shots to have bushi take all the bumps and hit a sloppy destino and maybe a flying forearm.

AEW GOD here. We don't want him. He can barely move and he eyes are about to fall out of his eyeball sockets. This retard won't be able to keep up with the high workrate of AEW matches. AEW is strictly where the BEST wrestle. Naitetty is NOT among the best. He is just not.
We will take Tsuji and Uemura toy instead. They are young and fresh. AEW will make good use of them.

If Tony hired him he would've already debuted him. Tiny has no self control
