It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
Despite heavy losses with guys like Sting, Hogan, Styles and Bully Ray (is this one confirmed-confirmed yet?), something TNA can still hold claim to is actually have a substantially deep roster full of talents who can slide in and out of its World Heavyweight title scene and back without much damage. We've seen guys like Roode, Aries, Storm, Hardy and so many others make the climb up and down and come out relatively unscathed, yet there's been one constant since Kurt Angle put the Television title into remission back in July the guys who do end up back in that mid-card shuffle tend not to have much to fight over, at least championship-wise.
When you couple this with the rise of EC3, who is probably one of the top-5 best-built homegrown stars the company has ever had, I'd argue there's no time like today to reactivate the title, even if it means another tournament to crown a new champion.
Carter, specifically, is exactly who I'd pin it on, especially with this undefeated streak still going strong. I'm not big on undefeated streaks normally, at least now with faces, but Carter isn't one he's probably the best heel in the company at the moment, and certainly garners the most heat. Who better than a guy who knows how to play the coward like Carter to re-legitimize the currently defunct title? Imagine the same feuds you see him in now, except with the TV title back on TV.
The depth is there, and with Carter specifically as the return champion, there is a wealth of options to have him work with in continuing to build him to the World Title picture, as well as to keep momentum with the TV title something it suffered from greatly in the past.
