Week 1 (11/3)
TNA champion James Storm interview. Robert Roode comes out they have a love fest and say they'll tear it down tonight.
Madison Rayne and Gail Kim beat Tara and Brooke Tessmacher for the Knockout Tag Titles after Karen Jarrett interfered.
Garrett Bischoff talked, brought out Eric and apologized for this - then beat him up, bringing out Flair and Gunner.
Jesse Sorensen beat X-Division champ Austin Aries non title with a rollup.
Robbie E and Rob Terry out to call out Ronnie from Jersey Shore and Eric Young. Ronnie spears Robbie E then gets held by Terry and whipped. They set up tag match set for next week.
Bully Ray and Jeff Jarrett vs. Anderson and Jeff Hardy goes to a no contest when Scott Steiner interfered and the 3 Immortal guys beat down the faces.
Matt Morgan called out Crimson and challenged to a match for Turning Point and Crimson accepted.
Roode beat Storm for the title after a great match via beer bottle when ref was down. Big heel heat for Roode.
Week 2 (11/10)
Crimson beat Pope in a short match.
Gunner vs. Garrett Bischoff ended in a DQ win for Bischoff when Flair interfered.
Zema Ion vs. Jesse Sorensen - a real quick match Sorensen won with roll of dice. Kid Kash brought a contract for a 3 way with him and Aries for Sorensen...then they fought until Aries came down and they beat down Sorensen.
TNA Knockouts Tag champs Gail Kim and Madison Rayne beat Velvet Sky and Mickie James when Kim hit finisher on Velvet.
Robert Roode promo. Big heat and "Cowboy" chants and he comes out. They brawl with security, D'Lo Brown, Al Snow and Simon Diamond out. Roode bails and Sting comes out and makes the rematch for tonight.
Robbie E and Rob Terry vs. Ronnie and Eric Young...funny spot where EY tagged in and ran around in a circle and accidentally locked up with the ref. Ronnie gets the pin on Robbie E.
Bellator CEO joins Taz and Tenay on commentary.
AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels...AJ has new music. Daniels grabs screwdriver and RVD comes out and takes it from him. AJ hits the Styles Clash for the win
Immortal (Jarrett, Ray and Steiner) vs. Anderson, Hardy & Abyss...Black hole slam wins it. Anderson legit hurt his left ankle/knee and limped out.
Rematch Storm vs Roode. Storm got jumped backstage but match still on...Storm hobbles out then dives at Roode then collapses...ref throws X and everyone looks concerned. AJ and Kaz out, Roode tries to help up Storm then rolls him up for pin and dives out. AJ challenges him for Turning Point and Sting makes the match.
So Roode is heel. AJ is facing Roode at Turning Point. Should be good I just hope Roode has a long reign.

I'm happy with the KO stuff. I guess Jesse Sorensen is going after the X-Division belt; from what I've seen he is decent. The World title scene is kinda confusing to me.. Roode really should have won at BFG but I guess they wanted him to be a heel?  AJ/Roode should be good. |

I honest to God want to sit down with the booking team and ask them how the they come up with these decisions. You kill Roode's moment at BFG, you take a different turn with Storm winning, you set up the logical feud between Beer Money, and now AJ is facing Roode at Turning Point. I am literally blown away by the ignorance here. Where is the feud between Storm and Roode? That is what people want to see. |

^ I would think it would continue on but just not for the title match at Turning Point.
They made Storm's character injured so he'll probably be out til after the PPV and then they can have their title match at the Dec TNA PPV [name?]..

Nice to see Hardy back in action with Anderson against Immortal.
Yeah, that World Title Picture is quite confusing, their idea is not bad, but they could've waited for Roode to turn heel against Storm on PPV..
AJ getting a Title-Shot is a good thing..I'm excited to know what they do next..

TNA gives people what they want by making Roode the Champion and pushing homegrown talent like AJ into a title match at the next PPV and people still bitch because they didn't like how it was done? GTFO.

Things I dont get:
How is Jarrett the bad guy and Hardy the good guy? Jarrett is right.
Why rush the Roode heel turn? Could have given Storm a little bit of a reign.

GTFO. This is professional wrestling. Storyteling is just as important as booking decent matches. GTFO. |

GTFO. This is professional wrestling. Storyteling is just as important as booking decent matches. GTFO. And the storytelling here is fine. James Storm won the title, something his friend Bobby Roode couldn't do on the biggest show of the year. Roode is given a title shot against him and wins. He turned heel on his parnter and then injured him the following week before there re-match, thus furthering the heel turn. A TNA Original gets pissed about it and challenges for the belt, which has ben a while since he's had a title shot. Pretty simple stuff. |

The storytelling is extremely rushed, devalues the World Title and is just another case of LOLTNA, just with more rage from fans in this case. Absolutely no reason at all that Roode should have lost at BFG. People were behind Roode as a main event act after a couple months of hard selling by TNA, and the majority were ready for a new, fresh name with some credibility and talent to be a World Champion at TNA's biggest PPV. So, what happens? He gets upstaged by Hogan, likely had his match cut short because of HULKAMANIA RUNNIN' WILD AGAIN BROTHER, and lost in a cheap way to end the show. Then Roode's partner, who has no reason to get a World Title match gets one because his friend lost on PPV and Angle has a clause in his contract that apparently can't be taken out by Sting or Dixie, and was just groan-inducing knowing what Hogan said about Roode and seeing why he wasn't getting a Title rematch. James Storm, guy with no build-up at all, beats Angle in a minute in a joke of a main event on a joke of a show in the sense they promote wrestling and had seven minutes of it in two hours.
So now James "Walmart BROTHER" Storm is Champion. The bright side is at least if Roode got shafted at BFG, now another fresh name can carry the Title for a while. What happens? He gets upstaged by Eric and Garrett Bischoff, as well as Ric Flair on a show where his next opponent on "free" TV is determined. Who is his opponent? His tag team partner of three years, Robert Roode. That match gets made not a month, three months, six months at LockDown or a year at BFG later, BUT THE NEXT WEEK ON IMPACT. Terrible and a waste of a good time to build-up both guys as the absolute best in TNA with the focus on them, not former a Referee, former authority figure with no defined role in the company and a guy who people feared suffered a heart attack in the ring a month ago. OK, looking past all of that, surely TNA realizes they need something screwy in the match five minutes in to keep both guys strong, keep the idea of that thid singles match for the World Title is a dream match and not give away another full-fledged Title match on TV that should have a great story behind it, right? No. They change the Title again (on TV) and turn someone we feel bad for heel. Now Roode is facing AJ Styles, another friend who has at least won matches recently on PPV, and that match for the prestigious TNA World Championship gets made on the go-home show.
A storyline that seemingly at worst could have carried TNA to LockDown, ideally BFG and a little beyond was made worse than imagined.

Then you get fans bitching, just like WWE fans who are complaining about how long this power struggle angle has played out. James Storm was "injured" which pretty much garuntees he'll be "back" to further the feud. |

One, people will be more receptive to a half-decent feud between wrestlers over a Title or something personal (like Jericho-HBK) more so than they will be about suits arguing about who gets to control the wrestlers who get less TV time as a result of people talking about ownership and paperwork. Second, it doesn't matter if Storm will be back in a month or sooner or later, they didn't need to do everything so quickly with these guys. Let Storm actually become credible as World Champion by winning matches and cutting good promos, and tell a story with Roode trying for redemption after coming so close and his friend winning the Title. Let it play out, make fans want to see the match so badly they'll pay for it or watch Impact in droves (relative to how many people normally watch the show). It's just dumb to rush everything as quickly as TNA is doing and not letting everything simmer and build long enough to mean more than any other World Title feud, the same thing WWE does with so many potential feuds and matches.
If TNA can build to crappy factions forming and wrestlers way, way past their prime wrestling for a year at a time, why can't Roode and Storm get their shot at building a money match from October-to-October?
