except i think it will be short. Maybe lasts one PPV as champ. i think everyone is kidding themselves if they dont think it will be roode vs storm at BFG with Storm going over. I like that hes champ, but the money match is storm vs roode at BFG. That money match just happened at Lockdown. Storm is hot...but no longer red hot. They blew their load on the feud. it was a fluke win for roode. you cant tell me you cant see the build towards it. Storm takes time off to get himself together. Roode moves on while storm gets through the series. they reignite the fued as BFG gets closer. slowly at first. if anything the lockdown match gives roode something to toy with storm over. "you werent able to get the job done then, you wont get it done now" Storm will have to overcome the doubts of himself, and doubts others may have......which is the PERFECT scenario for a face to go over the heel. BFG: Roode v Storm

I'm going to go through a scenario that doesn't include James Storm, just to throw out an idea if he should, let's say, get hurt. After Destination X: I'll keep this short and sweet, Roode demands rematch, Hogan says "Brother" 300 times and agrees. It's changed to a Hardcore Match a few weeks later, keeping with the theme of the PPV. Hardcore Justice: A Double wins in a match that leaves us confused as to which was better, Destination X or this. After HJ(you know, when you look at the initials, the change to from Hard to Hardcore seems genius): Abyss/Joesph Park finishes Bully Ray fued and challenges Aries. Bobby throws a hissy-fit, and Hogan says "Brother!" another 300 times and sets up a match on the next iMPACT. Abyss wins. Aries-Abyss at No Surrender. No Surrender: Aries and Abyss match ends in controversy and Abyss wins the title. MEANWHILE, in the Bound for Glory Series, Samoa Joe wins. After No Surrender: Aries goes to Hogan and asks for his mandatory rematch. We have a 3-way, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, and Abyss at Bound for Glory. Bound for Glory: Austin Aries becomes a 2-time TNA Champion in another epic match. We all agree that TNA is better. As for beyond that, not going to speculate. Too far in the future, too many things can happen. Also, I would like to remind everyone that there is a reason that I'm not consulted for the WFWF's booking decisions. ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif)

Storm takes time off to get himself together. Roode moves on while storm gets through the series. they reignite the fued as BFG gets closer. slowly at first. if anything the lockdown match gives roode something to toy with storm over. "you werent able to get the job done then, you wont get it done now" Storm will have to overcome the doubts of himself, and doubts others may have......which is the PERFECT scenario for a face to go over the heel. BFG: Roode v Storm Do I see a build towards it? HELL NO! Do I think it will happen? Yeah, probably. Since Storm returned, he has mentioned just ONCE that he was coming for Roode and the TNA Title. ONCE. During the entire time Storm is "taking time off", Roode is goading, bragging or rubbing it in on Storm. He is off taking care of business...Storm is an after thought. Storm doesnt return and cost Roode a match. Storm doesnt come back and attack Roode. Hell.....Storm and Roode havent even been on camera at the same time since his return. ![::)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/rolleyes.gif) TNA has DONE NOTHING to built towards a BFG main event of Roode/Storm TNA Title. Now with Aries taking the title off of Roode...Roode is going to be focused on getting that back and Storm is focused on winning the BFG series. TNA missed the boat with Storm/Roode. They had a strong build, story cemented, locked in the cage at Lockdown. They decided NOT to put the belt on Storm and effectively killed the heat between the 2. Can it be restarted? Sure. But not in a month....which is about what they will have if Storm wins BFG Series and Roode has the belt back by that point. Classic over booking. ROH failed with Tyler Black's World Title win, Nigel's World Title win, etc. Overbooking can be just as bad as underbooking. Fans have moved on and Austin Aries is the hot star right now. Storm occupied that spot going into Lockdown.

They don't want Storm/Roode predictable at BFG yet. That will kill interest leading up to the event. I mean, as if we didn't already see it coming anyway. Fact is, they have to keep their options open. I don't see how the build isn't there - there is still unfinished business between the two and everybody knows it.
Regardless, that unfinished business doesn't need to include the WHC. Now that Aries has the strap, he needs to keep it until BFG. Let Roode and Storm have their grudge match at BFG and Aries and Joe wrestle in the main event. To me, that is exactly what needs to happen. If they wanted Roode/Storm, they shouldn't have let Aries go over. At first I was against Roode losing, but they can still make this work.

When building a feud, you dont just go....."surprise we're feuding, see u at the ppv.". Thats bad booking. It doesnt kill interest....it BUILDS interest. I agree...there is some unfinished business. But right now, its not a priority for either one. Storm's priority is the BFG series and not the feud with Roode. Roode's priority is getting the TNA belt back, not the feud with Storm. Now a match between the 2 at BFG I am all for.....as long as its not for the World Title....which you have contended it would be. If you are changing your mind on that....ok, now we are on the same page. Aries vs. the BFG winner and Roode vs. Storm.....I like both.

I'm hoping the Dixie/AJ/CD/Kazarian/Claire storyline wraps up by No Surrender and British Invasion reforms..wouldn't mind seeing this for BFG:
Aries(c) vs Joe Roode vs Storm Texas Deathmatch? Kaz and Daniels(c) vs British Invasion AJ vs Kurt Devon(c) vs Jeff vs RVD vs Ken Anderson Gail Kim vs Madison Rayne Ion(c) vs King vs Dutt vs Andrews vs Kash KOTM Bully vs Robbie E

I meant more along the lines of not exhausting the feud between Storm/Roode. I remember you being upset about the Lockdown finish, but I actually thought it was the right thing to do. I've been anticipating Roode/Storm at BFG since their rivalry began. Storm is over - a feelgood moment at the end of BFG really needed to happen this year imo as the last two years have been sour. I do think Storm should face Roode at BFG. However, like you said, not for the WHC. I was hoping for the (predictable) Storm BFG Series win to face Roode in the main event. Now that TNA has thrown a curveball (I'm becoming more and more keen on the decision), Aries has to keep the title until BFG. If Roode takes it back, it will not only kill Aries' momentum, it'll hinder the selling point of Roode/Storm, as James Storm was to be the one to finally dethrone Roode. I'm now hoping for Samoa Joe to win the series and face Aries in the main event of BFG. It's difficult to decide who should go over at this point, but I want to say Joe. By this point, Aries will have had a solid 3 1/2 month reign to solidify himself as a key player. I think Joe needs to win to put over the BFG series, first of all. Second, Joe needs to be back in the main event again. It's time they start utilizing him right. Let Roode screw Storm out of winning the series and things get intense yet again. Roode's selfish, he doesn't want Storm main eventing the biggest show of the year fighting for the belt he believes is his. Perfect HBK/HHH scenario right there... Let them settle their beef in a grudge match. This could and should lead to an even more aggressive program between the two to close out the year. If TNA does this, they'll have a phenomenal main event program headed into the new year. You've got so many fresh homegrown talent to feud in and out - Aries, Joe, Roode, Storm, Styles in addition to your superstars such as Angle and Hardy, etc. For the record, though, I don't want to see Angle in the main event anytime soon. Nor Anderson (just no), or even Hardy. RVD should never touch the gold again. I know Hardy blew it, but I absolutely loved his heel persona. If TNA had the resources to fund two network programs ala Raw/Smackdown, I'd have Roode be the main event heel of one show and Hardy the heel on the other. Damn, I'm rambling. I just see so much ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing success in TNA it kills me. I really, really want to see the company go far.

The only thing I'd change is the stipulation to Roode/Storm to a Last Man Standing. Also, you've got the whole Aces and 8's thing going on. I'm still hoping for Jarrett. Maybe a retirement match between Jarrett/Sting w/ Hogan as a special ref?

The main event of BFG will be Roode vs Storm in some way. They've been building that forever. Whether Aries is added and making it a three way or not. I can't see them not having that match in some way at BFG. Without the title it would be sort of pointless.

I stand by it. as you said, they are distracted by other things at the moment. they will kickstart the heat between the two as the series comes closer to an end and BFG gets closer. Look what they did with sting. two weeks before slammiversary he was named #1 contender with little build. right or wrong, TNA will make roode vs storm for the title, and clean up their unfinished business. I like Aries, i just think he will get a raw deal here in the short term. and sometimes getting a raw deal in the short term gets you lost in the shuffle long term. ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif)

Which is why they need to change their plans. They hopped on the Aries bandwagon after it was apparent that he was too over not to win the belt from Roode. Now that he's gotten it, it would be idiotic to take it away from him so soon in order to appease the Roode/Storm program. Aries needs a solid run with the strap headed into BFG to solidify himself and Samoa Joe needs to win the BFG Series and face Aries in the main event of BFG.
Roode/Storm don't need the belt to sell the angle. Their rivalry is akin to HHH/HBK. Roode screws over Storm, bam - their feud is reignited and their beef is settled at BFG and beyond, if necessary.

I can see Storm and Roode going either way for the title or non title grudge match. I would like to see it be just a grudge match because I honestly don't think it needs the title to make it be a huge match IMO.
So if that happens and Aries is defending the championship at BFG well then I would think him vs Joe would be a good match and a good build. I would like to see Aries win then have a long title reign that would end at Lockdown to Storm
For turning point I would have Aries have a rematch against Joe and have Joe still go out strong but losing. Final Resolution have ONE last rematch with Joe in an iron man match and have both men go out strong with Aries winning. Genesis have Aries vs Anderson in a regular match not sure what to do with this one. Against All Odds Angle vs Aries would be nice to see and have a regular match. Victory Road have Aries face Angle in a ladder match. Also at Victory Road you could finish off Storm and Roode in a no 1 contenders match at Lockdown and make it a Last Man Standing match as well. At Lockdown have Storm take the belt off Aries
Maybe have him lose it at BFG, but that all sounds great to me.

James Storm becomes the BFG Series leader. At Hardcore Justice, Aries defeats Roode after Storm superkicks Roode. At No Surrender, Storm wins the BFG Series. Roode then demands a title shot and defeats Aries on Impact Wrestling four days later to earn it. At Bound for Glory, it's Aries vs Storm vs Roode for the title and Storm superkicks Roode and pins him, so Storm gets his big moment after a year's wait. At the next Impact Wrestling, Aries uses his rematch clause to defeat Storm and regain the World Title.
