Over the past month there's only been two belts worth watching: the Doubles Championship (which since Marcus/Trent dissolved and the rivalry between Double J and The Beast Crew has ended there's not a lot of fire in the division currently), and the National US Championship of America. The World title scene has been alright barring Chris' championship run, but one division that seems to be absolutely devoid of excitement has been the Canadian division.
Johnny Talladega, Alan Morrsion, Jordan Wassink, Adam Roggeveen, Dominic Pelletier, Roger Olson, John Polak, and the newly debuted Sammy Zaslanslamar make up the bulk of the championship pool. Although we have see plenty of Talladega and Wassink tossing the belt back and forth like a game of hot potato, it seems that everyone else has had very little time to shine. The people who have made the division worth watching have left for the world title scene ages ago (such as Chris Furious and Mitchell Cooper, to name two).
The roster is adding people en mass to try and keep up with it's US counterpart, and in doing so it's made the division a pool of people who nobody knows. It's hard to take someone new seriously when their last name is Zaslanslamar, let alone Talladega. Hell, the man who has taken hope the Canadian title more times than anyone else can be summed up as a lanky nerd who relies on his significant other to take home wins. When you put it like that, it's not a great sounding division.
With John Polak fighting for the title against Johnny Talladega this Monday, it's going to take a Maximilian vs Thomas tier match for people to start taking notice to the red belt.
