A photo of Jeff Hardy's version of the belt was uploaded to commons at File:TNAImmortalTitle1.JPG if anyone wants to add it to the article. NiciVampireHeart 14:17, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't the New TNA "Immortal" World Heavyweight Championship belt design put in the place of the old TNA World Heavyweight Championship belt design and put The old belt design under past belt designs.

There's no permission to use the pics.TheFBH (talk) 17:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I am wondering when the spoiler rule was eliminated  
was it a rule not to put on event's in wrestling until they are televised .

We've always been able to add spoilers, just whenever there is a source for them.--WillC 10:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I thought the "immortal" belt was Jeff Jarrett's mexican (AAA?) belt with something covering up the plates, nit Jeff Hardy's stupid "face" custom bet.02:31, 23 March 2018 (UTC)02:31, 23 March 2018 (UTC)~  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40C:8300:1D35:4D0D:CBE6:36C9:56B6 (talk) 
No, that was Jarrett's "King of Mexico" shtick. Kinda degrading for the AAA Megas Championship. oknazevad (talk) 10:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

What sources are claiming that the title has been renamed? Observer and WrestleView are still calling it the "GFW Unified World".[1][2]LM2000 (talk) 08:41, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

LM2000 GFW is calling it the GFW Global Championship on television JMichael22 (talk) 01:46, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
And their website is reporting it too.[3] Seems like a legit name change at this point.LM2000 (talk) 02:01, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
LM2000 have you requested a name change? JMichael22 (talk) 02:04, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Where is it stated that they kept the TNA World Heavyweight Championship Lineage for the GFW Global Championship because last weeks episode they mentioned during the gauntlet match Magnus as the first GFW Global Champion JMichael22 (talk) 23:21, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
And they're not wrong. Magnus is the first GFW Global Champion, the championship has been unified with the Impact World title. Unknown 0987 (talk) 13:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Magnus was the first GFW Global Champion, not the Impact Global Champion, they were talking about the GFW Global Championship that was unified with the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epicneter (talk • contribs) 21:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I believe we should rename this article to "Impact World Championship", here's why:
1. Impact officially recognizes this title as the Impact World Championship
2. Impact has used the name Impact World Championship in many press conferences since Austin Aries won the championship
3. We would be misleading our readers horribly by giving them the old name the title used, when the current one is not the name. Epicneter (talk) 01:37, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Support. With the caveat that Impact seems to be inconsistent on whether or not to include the word "Heavyweight" in the name. oknazevad (talk) 04:51, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Since Swann unified the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and Impact World Championship the Rebellion poster that has just been posted doesn't show a championship name change. All of Impact's social media accounts are still referring to it as the Impact World Championship Eerie Holiday (talk) 12:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. The name change was hasty and unneeded. It's clear that the use of "unified" is a temporary thing, as has been the case for dozens of prior title unifications. See here for the poster for Rebellion poster that Eerie mentions. Note the lack of "Unified" in the caption for Rich Swann. This should be moved back. oknazevad (talk) 12:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Well, I have seen this "Impact World Champion will face" 10 hours ago. on he other hand, is the Unified World Champion!  and impactwrestling.com calls it unified world champion --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 14:40, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Well, here's Impact Wrestling itself straight up calling Rich Swann the Impact Wrestling Unified World Champion.  That should put this to bed.  Vjmlhds (talk) 20:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
They Are calling Swann the Unified World Champion referring to him being the Unified World Champion because he holds two World Championships they are not calling the Championship the Impact Unified World Championship no where from all the recent articles or social media post has there been a mention of the official Championship belt being called the Impact Unified World Championship they posted the official poster for Rebellion showing the official name hasn't changed with it stating Impact World Champion Rich Swann will face AEW World Champion in a Title vs Title match with no mention anywhere of Impact Unified World Championship or even Impact Unified World Champion just Unifed World Champion indicating he unified the two World Championships within the promotion. Very clear cut sources support the official name has not been changed. Eerie Holiday (talk) 21:35, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
All due respect, but that argument is the epitome of splitting hairs and picking nits. Vjmlhds (talk) 01:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I think is not that clear, since Impact contradicted themselves. I have seen Impact World Champion, Impact Unified World Champion and Unified World Champion. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I think it's very clear every source is showing that Rich Swann is a "Unified World Champion who is defending the Impact World Championship at Rebellion" sources support this statement show a source that supports the official Championship name change show an official Impact Wrestling source that is Calling it the "Impact Unified World Championship" key word "Championship" not "Champion" because I haven't found one but iv found a few that show that clearly state he is defending the Impact World "Championship" this is a case of someone jumping the gun and changing the pages name without any hard evidence to support its name change. Eerie Holiday (talk) 10:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
This source alone I believe supports a revert to the pages original name Rich Swann & Kenny Omega go to War Eerie Holiday (talk) 13:19, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Impact itself made life easy on us when they removed the word "Unified" from their champions roll call, and are again calling Swann the Impact World Champion.  So that settles that.  Also, Swann is still carrying around the TNA Title belt (as evidenced tonight on Impact), so as long as he keeps bringing it out with him, it stays included until it disappears for good. Vjmlhds (talk) 02:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
And just so nobody can accuse me of OR or SYNTH, here's the results from tonight's episode of Impact, with video showing Swann with both belts. Vjmlhds (talk) 02:54, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Do we REALLY need to have a separate article for Moose's version of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship?  It wasn't even officially sanctioned until right before unification. I can list three examples from WWE alone that don't have separate articles (Michaels/Ramon over the IC Title, "Summer of Punk", and the recent situation with the Cruiserweight Championship.) We can have a brief description of Moose's version, but it doesn't need its own article and there is precedence. Jgera5 (talk) 03:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

The difference was it was nearly a year, and it was defended separately in that time. I oppose. oknazevad (talk) 08:12, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Support, if the same information was in this article, there'd be no reason to WP:SPLIT it. This article could easily cover that information. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:21, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
oknazevad, OK, but so was the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. You had the official champion who was stuck in the UK due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions, then you had the Interim Cruiserweight Champion stateside. It went on for almost a year (mostly out of necessity) until the two could be unified. There's no separate page on this, so weak argument.
There's also the aforementioned Shawn Michaels/Razor Ramon feud over a unified WWF Intercontinental Championship as Michaels had never lost it that led to their now-classic ladder match and Ramon claiming both belts. And should I also mention "Summer of Punk"? (Hard to believe that's ten years old now.) Again, no need to have a separate article for a title that not only wasn't officially sanctioned for most of its existence, but never changed hands until it was unified. Jgera5 (talk) 12:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Not the same. The NXT Cruiserweight title had a interim champion, which is not the same. About the IC title, there is always a "I'm the real champ", like Michaels-Ramon, JBL-Cena, Cole-Briscoe... I see this issue more like the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship (IGF). I would oppose since, at one point, the title was recognized as a different title from the Impact. No interim champion (Like NXT CW), no not-recognized (like Hall-Michaels), no co-champions (like Cena and Punk). --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Exactly. Whereas the cruiserweight title thing was a case of an interim champion for the same title, recognized as such by all (WWE, the official champion, and the interim champion) Moose was never claiming to be the interim Impact World Champion. oknazevad (talk) 19:00, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
It's an oddity. I have thought about whether or not this should be merged, but, it was officially sanctioned as a separate championship, even if only for a short period of time (not to mention it being unofficially sanctioned for a year). It was really just for a story, but that doesn't excuse the fact that Moose was officially recognized as TNA World Heavyweight Champion (and not Impact World Champion). Like others have mentioned, this isn't the same as those other championships. There was only one title with those with multiple people claiming to be champion. In none of those cases was a separate championship sanctioned. --JDC808 ♫ 09:16, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Oppose - 2 separate titles.  Now granted, Moose's title had a short life span, but nonetheless had a life span as a separate championship from the Impact World Title. Vjmlhds (talk) 16:28, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
I think moose’s championship reign should just be included with this championship they are now one championship and that’s the official word from impact wrestling I read on their site. But I know everyone has their opinion I think it should be one just like the punk situation and the NXT Cruiserweight Championship situation. Thanks everyone  Nealvipperman (talk) 00:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

It is not the same situation as CM Punk or the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. In neither of those was a separate championship sanctioned. In both of those, both wrestlers were recognized as holding the same championship. Moose's TNA World Heavyweight Championship was sanctioned as a separate title from the Impact World Championship. Moose is not recognized as a former Impact World Champion, as he never held that title. --JDC808 ♫ 05:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
