New Title?

I been trying to hold off until we start getting coexistent numbers, but with all honesty, I really do start to sense that we are starting to get core group of rpers in Majestic. Now while I was trying to put together a rough sketch of each title scene, I realize, there are a lot of people and only two singles title. Now in either this upcoming PPV cycle or not, I would like to introduce a new singles title.

Now if you have any ideas such as whether it should be hardcore, submission-only, cruiserweight, television, womens, etc... post it here in this thread and make an argument. But all sakes and purposes, I've been leaning on the hardcore variety, but I'm willing to change that preference if people show some good reasons and want for another type of belt.

I know you already know my opinion on this one Adam, but I can't stress how awesome it would be to see a hardcore title added. I know the hardcore belt is usually seen as the lowest belt in any company, but I'm someone who's ALWAYS loved the hardcore title! I remember the attitude era in WWE and how great the hardcore title matches were, even if some of the angles used ended up being pretty shoddy to say the least.

With Helms, I've ALWAYS gone after the hardcore belt in each fed first, and the ability to make things extreme has been something that I've focused heavily on in his career, so on a personal level, I'd love for there to be an equivolent for me to chase after! :D

Looking at the bigger picture, I'd almost say it would be redundant for there to be a women's title here in MW, as most the females on the roster don't strike me as the kind of wrestlers to chase after a Women's title (although I admit there IS the odd exception on the roster here.) I think the majority of the female roster seem to want to prove they're better than the men and tend to be more rough and tumble and want to kick ass rather than chase a belt that historically, is linked with bitchiness rather than good wrestling (see WWE and TNA for proof!)

Regardless, hardcore title gets my vote and I hope everyone else agrees ;) lol

Majestic Wrestling High Voltage Championship.

It's a hardcore championship on steroids. Forget standard hardcore rules. This belt will NEVER be defended under normal hardcore rules. Every title defense will be defended in jacked up hardcore situations. Last Man Standing. Electrified Cage. Boiler Room Brawl. Just as long as the match isn't standard hardcore rules, every title defense will test the resolve of its champ.

Good idea in principle, but it'd be a ball ache for Adam to keep coming up with ideas for matches. Surely there'd be a point where the ideas would run out and we'd see matches being recycled?

You guys are way too bloodthirsty. =P

If I recall (unless I've just dreamt this) every Majestic match used to be contested in a cage. You could have a belt that sort of honours those routes...

A part of me likes if, if I haven't had indulged my cage fetish since my discontinuation of the cage match being regular (damn injuries) twice at two major PPVs.

If we had a larger roster, I would definitely think about doing a "24/7" title. My idea of operation would be simple. Every show a thread would be posted. 1 RP limit, you have until two or three days before the deadline to post your RP if you're challenging for the belt. Then the final two or three days will be given to the champion to respond. The simply write up small segments featuring impromptu defenses and what not. It will be fun. But I fear we don't have a large enough roster.

The problem I have with that is I want those type of matches to be the centerpieces of feuds. I'm sure I'm on the gimmicky side of things as it is, but with what Wasley said and what I was thinking, sounds like it could be fun for the first few months but after awhile, it would get on my nerves. It sounds like something that could be awesome to add to a regular hardcore title for a few months to make things interesting against tho.

This is good stuff, anyone else want to chirp in?

How about an X Rules Championship? (doesn't have to be the name of the title btw.)

* The premise of the belt is the champion has the option to choose the match type. Here's the kicker. The challenger wouldn't know what the match type is until shortly before the match. Talk about the ultimate championship advantage. The champ goes in knowing what the match will be, the challenger won't know what the match is. Us as readers would wallow in anticipation wanting to know the rules of the match are.

See I thought about this, either in the way you mentioned... or perhaps that when a champion takes control of the title, he dictates the rules that which he defends them under. It is quite a good concept I think with a lot of fun. Be fun if you change the name of the title as well too for the interim of your reign.

That's actually a pretty cool idea. The wrestler gets to choose a match that suits them and hopefully throws their opponent...

Although I still want a hardcore title :D lol

Oooh! Changing the name with each handler would be awesome too! So for instance, if Helms did win it, he could make it into a hardcore title, thus keeping up his track record of winning hardcore titles in feds, but when he loses it, it becomes whatever the next champ wants it to be!

He did in SCW...but its sort of traditional for me for Helms to chase after the Hardcore belt in each fed he's ever been in before any other, so Majestic needs a hardcore title for me to keep the run going :)

You know me so well. B-)


The X-Rules idea sounds like what I did when Miller won the Underground Championship. He threw the UG title into the St. Louis river and carried the Pure Fighting title instead. Matches were basically MMA fights. No climbing the ropes, no leaving the ring, and you only won via knock-out or submission.

My vote goes towards the Submissions-Only title, for the same reason Was wants the Hardcore: That's my shit, lol. I miss the old Ironman Championship, and with all the technical and submissions people we have right now, there could be some REAL clinics in that division.

Though I also like the idea of an 'X-Rules' type title, or one that calls back to the original Majestic, with all matches being fought in the cage.

I think that the idea of a TV Title could be pretty cool but with the traditional rules associated with it in which it has to be defended in every match the holder takes part in... bit of a challenge for the holder but it will really cause them to have to up their game if they want to keep it... But that's just me.

Otherwise I would say that the Hardcore Belt is a decent idea though I think a way for it to not be seen as the bottom tier belt per se (even if it technically is) so as to not take away from the interest in it would be a nice idea.

And to add in my two cents about the "X Title" concept, I do like that too as it could feasibly BECOME the Hardcore Title under someones *cough*Helms*cough* reign if the holder changes the name too.

I'd say the X Title concept is probably the best idea, because you get a different stip with each holder and you'd get to have some fun cooking up the new concept with each handler that wins it.

As for the name change thing, as long as it's still got 'X Title' in the name, you'll not have any issues either with title histories and what not. eg/ 'Extreme-X Title', 'Pure-X Title' etc etc

Possible names/stips

Carnage/War-Zone Title: Hardcore - basic rules of Hardcore and it can happen anywhere (though I love Allocco's 24/7 rule)

Marquee Title: Only way to win the match is to hit your opponent with your finisher (highlight of your move list) or option two: have a move designated as the "Marquee move"

Rose Championship: Women's championship (if you guys wanted one)

Television Championship: Really, it's the only fitting name for a title defended every show

Personally, I like Was' idea of X-title as it gives unlimited potential on where it can go, but X-Rules sounds more like it can change any time, whereas the X-title sounds more like it can be changed only once.

Technical/Survivor Championship: Submission/Last Man Standing

Right now, I am deciding between the X title idea (which I will call the Roulette Championship) and the Hardcore title, (will implement the "24/7" rule down the road).

The Roulette title would be good until we get to a larger roster, thus more titles, in the fashion that everyone will have fun with the belt, and if there isn't a techinical pure division, then they can make that rule. However, if I do that title, one of the requirements will be to pm me your idea when competing for the title.

And Hardcore title I want to do, mainly because you guys show a lot of interest. and If I don't do one now, I will definitely do one down the road as the next choice.

So anyone else wants to add in? Or make a bold statement which one you definitely prefer over the other.
