    To quote Major Payne, they're still a **** sandwich, just not a soggy one.

    This is the equivalent of Manuel Charr being made redundant

    It's a start... An inch when they need a mile.

    I hope the other orgs follow suit. It's a major step forward in quality to have belts actually won in a ring.

    Getting rid of interim, I don't care about secondary titles. As I've said before, they can make a belt for every fight if they want, just make them win in a ring instead of beating a nobody and all of a sudden you're world champ when something happens that's entirely unrelated to you.

    What does this mean? No "regular" belt? And will the WBC get rid of their silver belt?

    Tommorrow they'll replace the interim belt with the super interim and regular interim belts.

    We Be Accumulating (the sanctioning fees)

    What about the WBA Gold belt? Can anyone (WBA included) show me what that title means? I mean usually there's a blurb on a website, a press release, or a line in their org rules of what titles are, I cannot find anything for the Gold Belt

    Also, I mean I'm glad they are getting rid of titles, but wouldn't you be pissed if you paid the WBA sanctioning fees and they dissolved your title arbitrarily?

    They still need to remove Gold Title and merge both Super and Regular titles.

    The wba has been absolute garbage for the past 20 years.
