If not Rhino, who else? There is no one else with enough credibility to even be called the World Champion at this juncture in TNA's arrival to the main stream - Raven is being set up for a run down the road, AJ Styles is the X Division champion, Jeff Hardy couldn't carry the belt, and Monty Brown and Lance Hoyt just aren't over enough yet.
The only other route they could have taken was to allow Jeff Jarrett to walk out of Bound For Glory with the World Title intact. That would be like Hulk Hogan and Mr.T jobbing for Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff at WrestleMania - they're trying to start a reputation for BFG as their own biggest show of the year - and they needed a happy ending.
Like I said, what would you have done differently?

Let's not compare Wrestlemania to a TNA PPV. Cause I'm sure nobody other then hardcore TNA fans would of realized this was BIG DEAL.
I'm almost positive JJ would of retained here setting up JJ/Raven at the next PPV, you know, the storyline they've actually been pushing. But that's all fucked now.
Meltzer is saying what I was saying about them not wanting to shit on the fans that ordered and came to the show because of Nash not being able to wrestle, so they did a surprise ending. I get that, but 'hot shotting" shit never works. And if they were putting the Title on somebody, why in the fuck didn't it go on Raven. It goes to Rhino, a guy who's remebered by most fans for.....well nothing really. He jobbed a lot on WWE TV I guess.
They had Styles, They had Joe, They had Monty. But it goes on Rhino. Yea, he'll sure put people in seats.
Like I said, stupid short term move for TNA and I swear if JJ wins it back real quick, I'm just gonna LMAO at this.
