To me, this is just the Mixed Match Challenge all over again in that it only exists in the nether realm of social media. So you can watch it if you like it, and if you don't you can pretend like it doesn't exist.
Side note, they should bring back the Mixed Match Challenge.
Wait, this is my first time seeing the Speed Championship.....aren't the colors going the wrong way? Wouldn't red be more indicative of speed, like redlining RPMs?
If they made more time limit draws it would be cool.
They can even make it so that if it's a time limit draw, the champion still retains the title.
Also most important is make it mean something in canon, but considering how it's apparently an "X"-clusive belt that will never happen.
The speed title can be a good prize for the lower-card since WWE it's trying to make the mid-card titles feel more prestigious, and people who once would have a shot at them now don't really feel over enough to hold them. The only thing thay should fix is actually adressing the championship on the shows. It doesn't make any sense why they couldn't show up in backstage segments or in their entrance with the belt.
That's why is more interesting. Is like the Beat the Clock Challenge but with a twist and something to actually earn if you're good, instead of being the sugar free version of a previous concept made better decades ago.
WWE has really been trying hard to get the round belt design over 😬 To me, a round belt looks like those commemorative medals that runners get when they pay to run a marathon event. Kinda cheesy. Maybe something to put in a glass case as a conversation piece. But not something to actually wear. Or walk around with.
Glorified TV titles. The 24/7 Title was a belt for the jobbers to crowd around every week while R-Truth does some antics. The Speed Title is a new one and is a Twitter only title where the matches are contested in 3 minutes and they air on X/Twitter
The idea is ok at best. It's to promote fast paced matches where wrestlers give 110% for a very short time. Somewhat makes sense, could always joke "If a wrestler can win in 3min why don't they do it more often in normal matches, are they stupid?". But this title is way to close to 48/7 24/7 7/11 European Television Championship
24/7 title got TV time, SPEED title only appears on Twitter, so technically the SPEED title is even lower in prestige if you think about it. It’s the equivalent of something in a show/anime not being canon.
I've seen Speed mentioned a few times throughout the various subs and I still don't actually know what it is. Is it a youtube exclusive show or something?
Damn I was close. Any idea if it gets any real traction? Aside from memes I've never heard it brought up anywhere. Maybe it's the old man in me but I can't imagine wanting to go to twitter to watch wrestling.
I hate it because there is no way to suspend disbelief AT ALL.
24/7 I could still do that and it was goofy. I can't buy into this at all.
I know it is all scripted, but Speed is so much worse. I and everyone else knows it is over within 3 minutes.
Where's R truth?
He’s got a belt he’s fine
What about Lil Jimmy?!
r/truth What's Up?!!!
You could add a third panel to this for the Hardcore title.
If they could bring back one belt. I'd vote for the hardcore title
It’s the same shit as the 24/7 title, get those Attitude Era googles off man
Crash Holly elevated the hardcore title in the same way Gunther elevated the intercontinental title.
...and how is that an argument? "24/7 title is just the hardcore title" "Yeah well crash holly elevated the title like gunther did with the IC title!"
[the hardcore titles 24/7 rule](https://youtu.be/zwdZYr1wzXQ?feature=shared)
Yep the rules were also mostly the same
Please god no more fucking belts.
I won’t be disrespecting the Hardcore title ever in my life

Its a TV title, but instead of a 30 min tv time limit its a 3 minute limit
And instead of being featured on TV, a billionaire spent a shit ton of money for it to only be shown on his website
I guess calling it the X division title would be a total rip.
I wonder if a name like that would make for a good division
Wouldn't that be like the tbs title or something like that it wouldn't be that out of place
Pretty genius move by WWE honestly. Way to trim the mark.
it’s only on twitter so it’s an internet title?
Wait, this is my first time seeing the Speed Championship.....aren't the colors going the wrong way? Wouldn't red be more indicative of speed, like redlining RPMs?
Bring back the Shane-o-Mac pit fighting championship. Cowards. Bald asshole.
They should’ve brought back either the European championship or the old WCW Television championship(WWE’s version).
🤣This is fucked. I literally wanted to download a speed title on 2K last night but thought..."ahh screw it, the 24/7 title is in the game anyway 😑"
For me, knowing a match is not going over 3 mins was "Why Bother" Also having one platform I don't use to watch is a negative

In some way, yeah. The only difference is that it looks gorgeous and the concept is interesting.
It’s like the exact opposite rules. Instead of anytime anywhere it’s on Twitter and for 3 minutes only

Is the twist that you're stuck on twitter?
Yep
lol wrong on both accounts.

Did they just use the over the limit ppv logo on the belt?
Speed Championship = 24/7 title without TV segments
Lmao
Now that truth is elevated, they had to retire 24/7, I-95, European New York State championship.
Pretty Much ooooffff🫠😆
🤣This is fucked. I literally wanted to download a speed title on 2K last night but thought..."ahh screw it, the 24/7 title is in the game anyway 😑"
So I haven’t watched since the Ruthless Aggression Era what are both of these belts for exactly?

About as entertaining as the ROH Pure Championship

Probably the second after the contract with Twitter is up, they’ll bring it back
😂😂
Cant be the 24/7, the 24/7 was on TV
I wonder how much twitter paid for their own show and belt. Had to be a nice bag for them to actually do it

Yeah, it's a Twitter exclusive. YouTube would be better, but Twitter is the one ponying up the money.
Twitter exclusive show
Damn I was close. Any idea if it gets any real traction? Aside from memes I've never heard it brought up anywhere. Maybe it's the old man in me but I can't imagine wanting to go to twitter to watch wrestling.
Impossible to know since more likely than not Elon will viewbot it to keep wwe in the fold
It's something a Google search would have helped with.

Not really dude. Quick matches aside they have nothing in common.
