There's no excuse for this shit. Two title changes on free TV within a month span (no idea what date this is airing), all because there was some "plan" to swerve the internet.

100% sure now Hogan did what he did because he wanted to make BFG about him.

They're going to get a surprise when they realize that they can't susatin a rating without a world title change every other week.

[Jordan]

Jesus fucking Christ this show is worse and worse every week. Somebody needs to put this lame horse out of his misery.

[Xero]

Also, from PWInsider:

Gail Kim & Madison Rayne won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team belts as well, defeating Tara and Brooke Tessmacher.


--

FTR, I will be updating the original post when all the results come out.

[VSG]

This will happen within the next 2 weeks. Thanks for another FU, TNA. I can't wait to see more "tweets" on fooling the fans.

[Jordan]

Again TNA just admits WWE has better workers by giving a title to one right off the bat.

[Lock Jaw]

Really, if anyone should have done the heel turn, it shoulda been James Storm.

[Xero]

But you see, that's a swerve. It's a swerve within a swerve.

[Mr. Nerfect]

To be honest, I'm kind of having my interest piqued. I'm glad they did the heel turn right out, anyway, instead of dragging it on for months when it would become so predictable. I mean, I'm not shocked that Roode turned heel in the slightest; but if he had done it in an announced PPV match, then Storm would look foolish.

TNA is at least trying to make Roode and Storm stars, and I commend them for that. Also, with Kurt Angle guaranteed a rematch, we're likely to get a Roode vs. Storm vs. Angle bout in the future, which could be a tremendous three-way. There's good to be seen here, along with the bad.

Also, the Knockout Tag Titles should really be dissolved, in my opinion. There was a time when they were appropriate. But now it seems that every team holding it is also involved in the singles scene, and that's just messy. Have Karen Jarrett deactive the championship, but let Gail Kim and Madison Rayne carry the belts around as a reminder of how great they are.

It would benefit TNA if they cut down the number of PPVs they had a year, too, in my opinion. PPV is not something that makes a lot of money for TNA (in fact, I'm not even sure if their PPVs make money), and they might be able to get more out of their television if they use Impact to showcase some of the matches they'd usually put on PPV. You know -- instead of being a shitty WWE knock-off.

[MoFo]

:rofl:

[MoFo]

Roode goes thru 8 months of a no.1 contender tournament and loses

Storm asks for a title shot the day after and wins the title

Roode wins it a week later

:lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Truthfully, I do think there's a good story here:

* Roode's heel turn comes from his frustration that his partner did so quickly what he took months to work towards and blew. Roode couldn't get it done, whereas his partner could. That leads to bitterness and there's a human story of redemption there for Roode.

* Storm is going to go through a lot of emotions; because he finally reached the top and then had his best friend snatch it away. Maybe he shouldn't be surprised, but now he's got to decide what means more to him -- friendship or the World Heavyweight Title? Storm easily chooses the World Heavyweight Title and becomes sort of a lone-wolf bad-ass looking for his back.

* Angle can come back and say that he is owed a rematch, and that Storm only beat him because he was injured/was caught off-guard, etc. Not to bury Storm, but to make heelish excuses for himself. Angle could even drive the psychological wedge between the former Beer Money partners by suggesting that Roode was the guy who hurt him, and Storm took advantage of his work.

I see what TNA is trying to do here, but it's not flawless. For example: Storm was in the Bound For Glory Series and lost. So that goes to show that this isn't some "masterplan."

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. They need to figure a new way to make money aside from PPV's. It's a product nobody wants to spend money on so why not just build a TV base, that may even increase house shows if they were able air commercials and build smaller angles on them on specific house shows. Or even use them to further storylines and mention them often on TV like

"Last week in Omaha Bobby Roode cost Mr. Anderson his match against Samoa Joe which was for a shot at the number one contenders spot for the TNA title, so next month when we return to Omaha Ken Anderson has challenged both Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe in a triple threat match."

Then you could release these events on DVD or on an online service, could make some decent money with good booking. Plus if they story is good the ratings are up, and if it's consistent then then people will be more likely to buy stuff the company sells.

They should cut a deal with Verizon or some shit so that they can get onto smart phones in a cool way. Pay 5 or 6 dollars a month and get certain features like a half hour Impact, or special interviews and exclusives. Redneck's would be eating that up. Instead they make hot fries.

[loopydate]

Roode chasing Storm, then turning on him could have been TNA's defining story leading us well into 2012.

They told it in a week.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I dunno, loopy. I kind of agree with you, but I think that if the story was spun out for so long, then it would have lost steam. Roode's fucked his mate over, shown his true colours without too much hesitation, at all. It makes him a pretty despicable heel. TNA fans will really want to see James Storm catch Roode and kick his ass. That being said, there could still be twists and turns.

Roode could claim that it was a heat of the moment thing, and that he just wanted his moment. He could apologise to Storm and really put Storm in the position of making these hard emotional decisions. Then, when the two have another match out of "respect," Roode could royally fuck over Storm, which would pretty entertaining, to say the least.

I dunno -- I kind of like the idea of Storm being a bad-ass face chasing the man who snapped due to his own shortcomings but is still somehow on top of the world. I think it's a good story to be told. But I'm not sold yet, and TNA needs to give me more reason to watch Impact.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm going to assume nowhere earlier in the show it hints that Roode might have been jealous or somewhat upset that Storm got the belt because of Angle outsmarting him from a rematch clause. At least in the case of Edge and Christian, Christian finally snapped because of Edge constantly winning everything (titles, Slammy's, etc).

Also makes the whole 8 months or so of building up Roodes to be potentially the next big face gone within a week even though TNA favored Crimson until his injury.

At least Roode gets the title even if it should have occurred at BFG and does give a bigger reason for a Storm vs Roode feud to go on besides friends just wrestling each other initially.

[Blakeamus]

:roll: You fooled me Bishoff and Hogan! Curse your EVIL ways!

[Testicle]

This is gonna put butts in the seats...

[St. Jimmy]

lol @ Heel Turn.

[Nicky Fives]

just when you think TNA is going to turn it around, they fuck it up again..... they could have had 4 months build of Roode slowly getting more and more jealous, and then turn heel.....

[Innovator]

BUT THEY DID IT IN TWO WEEKS SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERVE

[screech]

wow

[KIRA]

They turned Roode heel...really...really in two weeks I just :nono:

[Droford]

how will Storm buy his beer now?

[Wake Up Call]

I love the fact that Roode has the title. I LOVED him as a heel before he joined with Storm to form beer Money. Thought he played the role quite well. Do I agree with the timing, no, like many of you have said they could have dragged this on a little longer, but whatever.

It's not like the WWE doesn't drop the title every month, the only difference is, they do it on PPV.

[Droford]

maybe this is TNAs way of admitting no one buys their ppvs?

[Rammsteinmad]

100% sure now Hogan did what he did because he wanted to make BFG about him.

You say that as if it wasn't obvious.

[owenbrown]

History does repeat itself doesn't it

[Razzamajazz]

beer money broke up?

[Fox]

Problem is that Storm isn't a good face. He should be the heel. Fuck, they should BOTH be heels. This is stupid.

[Londoner]

Really, if anyone should have done the heel turn, it shoulda been James Storm.

This. Fuck sakes.

WWE shouldn't be hotshotting it either. It's bad for the title.

Full results going up in a second.

[Next Big Thing]

Really, if anyone should have done the heel turn, it shoulda been James Storm.

Yeah, but a redneck beating the hell out of a Canadian in Macon, Georgia probably would have led to more cheers.

[Mr. JL]

Way too soon TNA.

[SammyG]

lol Ronnie from Jersey Shore

[Innovator]

Ronnie is gonna be so short on TV.

[Haze]

Much would have rather seen them go the route of having Roode on the verge of winning and Storm forcing a DQ with the beer bottle. Would be interesting to see them work a story around Storms title win going to his head.

[Lock Jaw]

"Immortal (Jarrett, Ray and Steiner) vs. Anderson, Hardy & Abyss."


So.... Anderson, Hardy, and Abyss are all good guys again now?

[Blakeamus]

There goes the Roode/Storm feud. Enter AJ Styles.

[Haze]

"Immortal (Jarrett, Ray and Steiner) vs. Anderson, Hardy & Abyss."


So.... Anderson, Hardy, and Abyss are all good guys again now?

It's TNA, If someone is a heel or face...wait a week.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah. Part of why I never got back into TNA. Used to watch it regularly (and enjoy it). Then got so busy, I had no time to watch it anymore.

By the time I tried to watch it again, pretty much everyone who had been a face was now a heel, and everyone who was a heel was now a face.

[Wake Up Call]

I am going to watch the show tonight, just too see if t actually as bad as we all make it sound. I believe Supreme said in the Smackdown thread that all shows are going to look like shit if you just read it. So I'll give TNA 2 hours of my life tonight.

[erickman]

yeah on tna the shows are always better then the spoilers, i guess they know how to edit there dumb storys. poor storm he is just a 1 week champ, but i like aj roode storm fued, add gunner and we would have a good 4 way.

[bigslimjj]

Give the TNA poster boy the belt. AJ FOR CHAMP! (At least Jarrett's not the champ,it could be worse)

[Xero]

Oh, you mean AJ Styles, the guy Hogan says he's a young kid who's going to go far one day, despite being with the company from day one?

[bigslimjj]

Oh, you mean AJ Styles, the guy Hogan says he's a young kid who's going to go far one day, despite being with the company from day one?Well you know my views on Hogan.Fuck that guy. AJ carried em for like 6 months before, and can do it again. Make him the guy that steps up and stops all this title swap nonsense. But this is IMPACT wrestling so its doubtful they will. I'd like to make a motion to stop calling it tna on these forums.It's changed so much that it's not even TNA any more. TNA was my fave company at one point,during the Joe/Angle matches and MEM I loved it. This is some mutant child of tna and Hulk Hogans rockin wrestlin or something.

[CSL]

definitely all Hulk Hogan's fault

[bigslimjj]

definitely all Hulk Hogan's faultYes it is. So is the economy,and AIDS. His mustache causes cancer.The vitamins he used to take were roids. The Ultimate warrior was better. i could go on.

[Droford]

Sting will eventually have to beat Roode for the title.

[erickman]

"Immortal (Jarrett, Ray and Steiner) vs. Anderson, Hardy & Abyss."


So.... Anderson, Hardy, and Abyss are all good guys again now?

i am liking the jarrett hardy fued, i think they can put on some good matches if hardy stays sober. an steiner and bully they would be great on the mic fatass and steroid boy.

[Mr. JL]

Pretty sad that tonights episode closes out with Bischoff and Son...

and not the number 1 contenders match that leads to Storm vs Roode for the TNA World Championship Match next week.

[Wake Up Call]

Gotta tell ya, with the Hockey games, and Baseball game on, I forgot to tune in. Oh well, GO OILERS GO!!

[XL]

Yep. Pretty stupid move and one of the things that allows people to accuse Hogan/Bischoff of booking the show around themselves.

[Mr. Nerfect]

At this point, I don't even care about Roode vs. Storm. They could make me care, but whatever. I'd much rather see Storm help AJ Styles win the World Title, and then at the December PPV we get Styles defending against Roode, Storm & Kurt Angle in a Four-Way.

[Xero]

And Angle wins it back, making the last two months completely meaningless.

or replace angle with gunner

[Mr. JL]

Very likely

or

Jeff Hardy is given the belt back way too soon without proving he can stay clean for any significant amount of time (while wrestling). Because I'm betting there is a big difference between being staying clean while not wrestling and staying clean while wrestling. Especially given Jeff's style.

[XL]

or replace angle with gunner
Or not.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Gunner would make a fine TV Champion, in my opinion, but keep the dude away from the main event scene right now.
