I knew this was coming as I've said before Roode will be an awesome heel but do u think TNA did it too soon? I would have like to see them stretch it out for a bit. Maybe have Roode get screwed a few times. They could have taken away his title shot or have a run in where Roode loses his chance again. Just something to build it where he needs to cheat to win, would have been a better pay off. I mean Storm had the belt for 2 wks they could have built him up a little bit more too.
I didnt read the spoilers for next wk so plz dont post them. First time in a while I want to watch TNA and not read about it.
Thoughts?

Honestly. Wrestling just isn't booked over a span of 6 months anymore, a few months even. It seems too soon because we're still so used to the golden era, where rivalries would be built up for months. I'm really enjoying the story and honestly, I'd rather them get the turn out of the way and get right into what is going to be a great feud; than drag it out and have the fans lose interest.

Zig With Swag is right, really. While we'd like to see it happen that way, this is no different than Christian/Orton or Cena/Punk. The longer this happened the more I would've been bugged by a cliche heel turn. We all knew it was coming so if they're not going to come up with something new or original without a heel turn involved I'd rather they just got down to business and it was over to let the feud begin.

I would've had Roode win at BFG and is celebrating with Storm on impact and Roode cut a promo saying i finally did it and i realised one thing, that beer money held me back. then attack Storm

Yea I know the business moves a lot quicker today doesn't mean they can't build it up a little better. I personally hate that the belt changes every month. I hope roode holds the belt for a bit and becomes a heel machine. Like he turned ti the darkside and has become stronger and more powerful. And hopefully as a heel he can get some clean wins and not have to cheat every match.
@ltd73 If Roode cut a promo saying beer money held him down it would b bully ray n team 3d all over again.

I'm glad they went the route they did. Roode didnt just turn on his partner, end his friendship with him, he turned Storm's dream...the title that was dedicated to his dead father into a living nightmare. He destroyed Storm's dream, spit on his father's memory and took the ultimate high into the most bottom of the lows.

This is actually one thing I think TNA has booked right in about 10 years. I just wish the show wasnt taped so it could still have the "shock factor"

I dont even think that angle will play out, let alone cross the writers minds to implement it. There's a deeper angle here and that's two friends feuding over the title. was it rushed? Like everything TNA does, they f'd this up again. Shoulda festered until at least lockdown. Roode makes a great heel and Storm is the perfect antagonist as face, but this whole thing, even after the BFG fiasco, had the potential to get really good. I'm glad they turned him heel, but, I miss the days when stuff was built up. TNA did it for a month with Roode, but couldnt with Storm, sad. This is actually one thing I think TNA has booked right in about 10 years. I just wish the show wasnt taped so it could still have the "shock factor" Are you applauding the heel turn, the abruptness, or both? |

Honestly, its not pro wrestling's fault. Its people's desires for instant gratification and non desire to watch things unfold. Everybody wants everything now. Twitter, facebook and the ability to see this instant news, postings, etc on our cell phones are all examples. Hell, cell phones are a great example. I am just as guilty when it comes to this as I social media on my phone. But I still enjoy a good story and a good build. Sadly, I am in the minority. |

Hogan-Sting in the same company got almost two years build to a confrontation/match in the ring. Storm and Roode can't even have a month of build to their first Title match with each other?

Both...The heel turn was perfect cause most would agree that Roode is better as a heel then a face anyway. You couldnt have built it for a longer time but to be honest, most people would have lost interest in it after about 2 weeks. They did a "OMG Roode got screw" segment then within what, 2 weeks it was boom "OMG Roode just turned heel and got the belt" and got strong quick heat. Works great for Roode. It will still take TNA nowhere though lol |

Yeah it feels a bit rushed, but so does most storylines this day and age. It's common nowadays.
IF Storm is really out for a couple months it may help prolong the feud a few awhile. They could have Roode feud with Anderson or Sting for the time being till Storm returns. And then TNA needs to book it as their most personal/violent feud ever.

I like the idea of letting the originals battle it out some. |

Sure the originals are now in the main event, but look at where the majority of the focus seems to still be...bischoff, hogan, hardy, etc. Not saying there shouldn't be focus there, but let's take the same amount of dedication in storyline building that you do with these other feuds as you do with Roode/Storm. Ill admit, Im still interested, just think this coulda had a bit more longevity to it,but we'll see where it goes. |

I think the heel turn needed to come right away, but on PPV. I would have paid to see Roode win the title and it happened for free. I'm not complaining, but from a business standpoint I don't really agree with that.
I agree though in the sense that nothing gets built over time anymore because wrestling fans and just people in general no longer have any patience. Tom used Cena and Punk as an example and I think it's the exact same situation personally. Could have been stretched out a little and been better? Yeah, absolutely imo, but here we are and I like that it happened so can I really complain?
Personally, TNA needed to put the title on Roode and turn him heel and now that is done. Same goes for WWE with Punk and bringing him back as champion to face Cena. They got the result they were looking for so how they got there is sort of, if not completely, irrelevant imo.
I'm a fan of great storytelling, but that sort of element of WWE and TNA, and maybe just pro wrestling in general, seems to be a thing of the past. It's really sad on some level, but pro wrestling is more popcorn entertainment than I think it has ever been. Still entertaining but just not in that deeply developed type of way.

He is perfect in the role he's in right now. Anderson, ok, but not right now. I'd like to see AJ and Joe get in the title mix while Storm is out. As for how TNA needs to book this, you're right. This is their HHH/HBK. They better book it as such or this'll be another blown opportunity on TNA's end. |
