I must be the only one who likes the win. Unpredictability. I could have been TNA Champ too. That would have been unpredictable.....and more credible. You should show up to Dixie's hotel and airport everyday for a long period of time bothering her about it, I bet she'll probably cave in at some point and give you a run. Your gimmick could be attacking the camera men.

I know we don't always see eye to eye but 100% agreed with the first post. This somehow makes LESS sense than giving the belt to Sabin last year, which was a total flop and out of nowhere as well. I can't even be bothered by TNA with the questionable booking decisions they make these days. I just shake my head and say "same old, same old."

That was a shock, but there was still build to it. In a world where its very easy to predict outcomes to matches, I was totally shocked and overjoyed at this. Sabin IS someone who deserves a run with the belt. Fantastic performer that had a little push goin and BAM! Sabin was a great under dog story....an underdog who had battled back from career threatening injuries. EY is a clown.

I don't watch the show week-in and week-out admittedly so I guess I could be wrong. And I like Sabin so I was happy for him, but I don't think his title victory really did any good in the grand scheme of things. It didn't seem to be well-received from what I saw, and immediately after losing the title he was shoved into midcard purgatory.

The problem with this title change is we all knew that AJ is taking the BFG series and would main event BFG. It didnt make sense for Sabin to face AJ....so back it went to Bully. I think the timing was worst part of that. And yes, after losing the belt he was shoved back into midcard hell.....and was then turned heel in what made no sense.

Part of the issue with TNA is the same issue with WWE. The titles have different levels of importance.
I can remember the beginning days of TNA when you could easily argue that being the Tag Team Champions, the X-Division Champion, or being the NWA-TNA World Champion had the same merit across the board.
Now days, it's almost like you win a World Title, you've suddenly peaked, and anything beyond fighting for the title or holding is "less important".
I've been saying this for years. but one of the best things that fans actually enjoyed about TNA was that sometimes less is more. But now they are trying so hard to be a much bigger and more involved company, that they are going in a million different directions at once. Nothing makes sense, and it almost seems like the second something does start to make sense, they drop it.

Old TNA is like old Family Guy and New TNA is like New Family Guy, as in they are almost two different things altogether. I guess we'll never know.

The Daniel Bryan story line is A COMPLETE copy of 2004 with Chris Benoit. It's copied so bad, that in 2004, Benoit had Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista and Kane as his main challengers.
At least Daniel Bryan has... oh wait... he has Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, and Kane as his main challengers.So shut up to those who say TNA is copying the WWE's story line. They aren't. If anything TNA copied ECW's story line with having the underdog like Mikey Whipwreck win the ECW Title, they did that with Eric Young winning the TNA Title. Wow, I would have never realized that. That's crazy. I understand reusing a storyline, but with 4/5 of the same wrestlers? Thanks for posting, great fact.

Benoit was feuding with the Smackdown GM, won the Rumble, and moved to Raw. Bryan has been trying to win the same title and getting constantly screwed over for over 6 months, as a part of the same feud. Benoit also never feuded with Batista over the title, plus the whole Gold Rush tournament leading to Kane getting his shot. Similar people does not in anyway equal same storyline.

Exactly, and unlike TNA, the storyline makes total sense and has been brewing for several months. To me Eric Young's win just looks like a desperate attempt at garnering ratings and at the same time comes off as a complete rip off of the WM conclusion, whether it was intentional or not.

And it did the exact opposite. I LOVE how almost 450,000 less people tuned into EY's first show as champ. Proud to say for the first time in YEARS....I did not watch Impact.

I know it's been 6 days since the last post, but I did say on here if I found that TV Trax posted the conversation Don Tony and Kevin Castle had about Eric Young being champion. I know a lot of people do not like Don Tony and Kevin Castle, with many calling them WWE fanboys, even though they've criticized WWE a lot as well. I found the clip on TV Trax's channel. I recommend people listening this conversation, not cause I'm a fan of their show, but because it was a good conversation. Like some on this thread, Kevin Castle did reference Eric Young being champion the equivalence of Santino winning the title.

The amount of time a wrestler is in a company does not mean that wrestler deserves the major title. I mean Val Venis was in WWE for 10-11 years, where was his World Title. Same thing for Funaki, where was his World Title, he's been with WWE for 10 years, even longer. Edge deserved the World title because he actually drew. When he first won the title, that next episode of RAW had big ratings at that time. Plus, Edge could be taken serious, look at the characters Eric Young played. He went from Team Canada to "Don't Fire Eric" to Super Eric to serious Eric, back to goofy Eric. I can't take a man who for the majority of his tenure in TNA was being a comedy character. I like Eric Young, don't get me wrong, he's a great wrestler and he's entertained me with his stuff with ODB and the Don't Fire Eric thing, but he's not the right guy to be World Champion. It doesn't matter how long he's been there, it's what he's done in those ten years that should count whether he deserves. In that case, why not give Jeremy Borash the title, he's been there since the beginning. I mean enough of this "Oh, he's been there for 10 years, it's about time he got the World Title".
