Mr. TNA. (Impact Spoilers)

For those who didn't watch Impact, which I'm assuming is 99% of you, Rob Van Dam beat AJ Styles to become the new TNA champion. Pretty awesome actually, mainly because I don't think anyone saw it coming.

Thoughts.

I mean, I love TNA been a fan for a while now just surprised to see a repreive from people shitting on their product.

I was expecting people to bitch about Van Dam winning with no build and all that bullshit, but I'm pleasently surprised to see the reaction on the Impact thread and this one.

Homegrown talent has been getting the rub for a while. AJ is the longest reigning TNA champ ever, Desmond Wolfe, Joe, BMI, Abyss, Rob Terry and all of them have been in the spotlight. You can't tell me that's not true.

I'm happy because RVD is great, and suprises are good.

I'm also confused because I thought the AJ and Pope fued was unresolved and still has legs. Hopefully it continues non-title, becuause that's kinda bullshit if it doesn't.

I'd like to have known this match was taking place so I could watch it. RVD vs AJ Styles is probably the biggest money match they had for RVD. They gave it away on free tv.

I'm not going to bitch though because it's cool

Did they announce it earlier in the night? I guess it's my fault for not paying attention.

Earlier in the night RVD vs. Hardy was a #1 contenders match for later in the evening vs. AJ.

I know ppl say it was dumb to give it away for free. But let's be honest, when WCW did Goldberg vs. Hogan, it was a well established touring company getting in big buyrates already. TNA is a lot smaller and is just trying to get people talking about them right now. So in a sense, I agree with what they did, so long as they don't do it all the time. I guarentee you that they would've scored a similar buyrate regardless if the main event was RVD vs Styles or any other main event.

If AJ bitched before, he's sure not gonna keep quiet now. I don't think he was the right fit as champ anyways and I'm happy for RVD. He didn't look right trying to follow Flair, but his reign was one of the weakest in wrestling history. Other than the Pope, did he even have a victory as champ during the Hogan era (Hardy beat him on tv; Abyss choke slammed him through the mat at a PPV)

I am in a major minority, but I was never a fan of RVD. So, I really could care less that he won.

However, I feel they should have saved this for a PPV.

He beat Pope by hitting him in the face with a pen. That doesn't end a fued, it just gives it more steam.
It shouldn't end just like that. It's the same as his fued with Abyss ending for the most part, after Abyss got screwed over by a broken ring. That should have pissed Abyss off more and made him want another title shot.
I don't get why they're afraid to have a fued slowly build and go to multiple PPVs, and end with some closure. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with them. They build up title fueds, and only give them one PPV match and even without a clean finish they quickly move on to the next one.

This style of title reign is fine if you're doing the "all challengers welcome" thing, like HBK did the best in 1996. But those fueds weren't as personal and didn't get shortchanged. It was just a string of challengers.

But that's a larger criticism of TNA booking, not this one instance in particular. I'm happy RVD has the title. AJ playing sidekick to Flair just wasn't interesting me.

I wonder how much tonight's TNA booking changed, if at all, when they found out Raw wouldn't be as strong as usual.

I'm wondering if the main event was originally just supposed to be Hardy/RVD for #1 Contendership, but TNA decided to go through and put on the title match and switch to see how much they could draw against a 'weaker' Raw. Dunno. There probably isn't that much into it.

Wasn't digging AJ Flair as champ...

But I'd take it over RVD any day.

Not an RVD fan in the slightest.

Don't know how I feel yet. Fans had to love it though, RVD has been getting extreme pops every time he comes out. Wish I had seen it, actually.

I must say that the "moment" of him winning the title, confetti, being hoisted on the faces shoulders...

It was all pretty much ruined by his terrible theme music.

It shouldn't end just like that. It's the same as his fued with Abyss ending for the most part, after Abyss got screwed over by a broken ring. That should have pissed Abyss off more and made him want another title shot.
I don't get why they're afraid to have a fued slowly build and go to multiple PPVs, and end with some closure. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with them. They build up title fueds, and only give them one PPV match and even without a clean finish they quickly move on to the next one.

This style of title reign is fine if you're doing the "all challengers welcome" thing, like HBK did the best in 1996. But those fueds weren't as personal and didn't get shortchanged. It was just a string of challengers.

But that's a larger criticism of TNA booking, not this one instance in particular. I'm happy RVD has the title. AJ playing sidekick to Flair just wasn't interesting me.
I agree with this. I wonder where this does leave The Pope, who I thought was a "can't fuck up" situation. They haven't really yet, but I hope he isn't shortchanged. AJ Styles has been champion long enough, though, so a change of any sort is welcome by me. RVD winning the title puts it on someone the crowd loves and has name recognition, though. I wonder if they turn Pope "heel" (in the TNA sense of the word) to feud with RVD now? That would be...interesting.

It would be cool if they found someone else for RVD to feud with and have AJ and Pope settle their differences without the title involved.

Come on now dude. Spoiling Smackdown 2 days before it airs is one thing, but "spoiling" something that happened live on national TV 4 hours ago is no where near the same. The internet isn't going to cater to those who missed out. That's like missing the Super Bowl and not wanting to hear anything about it until you watch it on DVR the next day. It's not gonna happen, especially if you frequent wrestling websites.

Impact will rise slightly, RAW will fall a bit. But Impact's replay could probably be hire than tonights show

I'll most likely watch the whole thing on Thursday. I tried watching during Hardy vs RVD but the commercial breaks every 30 seconds pissed me off.
