>>8584837didnt bury him, he lost due to interference and still looked strong. he didnt need the title yet. he was new and hardly anybody was watching tna, so it would have been a waste and a rushed title reign. they had the crappy afternoon timeslot on fsn and after that expired there was a 5 month period in 2005 where they had no tv deal at all. tna was all over the place and needed a reliable champ like jarrett to feud with the babyfaces (often some big name coming in for a month before leaving)
people talk about this like it happened while they were on spike or something. monty winning the title would have made no difference to anything. they had no real tv deal, hardly anybody was watching. anything before spike is barely worth discussing because they were still trying to gain stability and get a business going. wrestlers were coming in and out constantly
it was obvious they were always saving monty brown for later. he was one of their top featured guys in promotional stuff and would have been pushed heavily if he didnt leave for wwe in 2006. he was gonna be one of the faces of tna
