Kurt Angle was named as the Executive Director of TNA Wrestling this past week on Impact Live by the TNA Board of Directors and he’s already making changes.  Effective today – the TNA World TV Title is now inactive.

What does this mean?  We reached out to Kurt Angle for a comment.

Kurt – “The TV Title was left dormant by the Dixie Carter and MVP administrations for over a year.  Taking over as Executive Director has required me to fix issues they left behind.  Championships are the reward of competition inside the ring between wrestlers striving to be the best.  As of now, the TV Title is inactive.  I’m looking for our roster to step up their level of competition and wrestle on a higher level for the World Heavyweight, X-Division, Knockout and World Tag Team Championships.”

Every summer, the value of X-Division Championship is raised as that champion is given the choice of cashing in that title for a shot at the World Title at Destination X (July 31st on Spike TV).  Kurt’s focus on championship competition starts with this Thursday at 9/8c on Spike TV with Kurt Angle’s Red, White and Blue Throwdown.  Angelina Love will defend the Knockouts Title against Gail Kim.  The Wolves will defend their World Tag Team Titles and World Heavyweight Champion Lashley will defend against former Champion Eric Young.

RIP TV Title. Truly one of the greatest championships in the history of wrestling.

Nothing can touch James Storm's beer drinking title.

That is legit and don't you dare mock it again, mother fucker

TNA is full of important titles, it seems.

The Storm title sucked

RIP to the greatest title of all time....the TNA Legends/Global/Television Championship will never be forgotten. It lives in infamy alongside the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship.
