Stop defending this s***, man. You know damn well that all this is a bunch of crappy crap crap. Yeah, how dare I like that one of my favorites just won the big belt? What is wrong with me?! It's not that you like that Storm just won the belt. It's that you're trying to defend a booking decision that makes zero sense given the last four months of build have all pointed to Roode winning the title, and has just buried him in a manner that Triple H would envy.

So TNA has this months-long series leading up to Bound for Glory which advances several guys, none more than Bobby Roode. He wins, and gets a full build to the event with wins over his stablemates, video packages detailing how he's ready, and has the crowd solidly behind him. At the event, people are salivating over the idea of this build-up paying off, only to have it snatched away with a screwy finisy. Then, two nights later, the title changes hands in a short squash match at an Impact taping, with James Storm becoming the Champion. Sounds like they really TNA'd this. Four years ago when I was actually watching TNA I would have given anything to see James Storm win the TNA Championship. These dunderheaded morons found a way to make it happen where it feels dirty and wrong. BTW, Hogan getting his way in 2011, down to being able to derail guys in the process of being built up is really sad. Might even say pathetic on TNA's part.

Hmmmm.... We all knew this was inevitable. Knowing TNA "Creative" they'll bring her in as a heel working for Karen. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Well done, sir.

In that synopsis there were a total of two matches, none of them seeming to last more than five minutes.
And as mentioned before, a 45-minute opening promo.

I will laugh if Sting turns on Dixie and Hogan and takes control of TNA by nefarious means.

Sorry, but I don't think that's enough of a reason to permanently hate this move.

What an awesome wrestling show this looks like. Around 8 minutes of actual wrestling and probably around an hour and a half of various promos. #WRESTLINGMATTERS

I'm glad James Storm is the World Champ, but the circumstances surrounding the win make little sense. And you wonder why I don't watch TNA often anymore.
If there's any positives, we might get to see Beer Vs. Money for the TNA World Title at Turning Point.

I love Storm, so on the one hand that's great.
Why on Earth did they not just go that route in the first place?

That doesn't change the fact that Jimmy Storm just picked up the title TWO NIGHTS after Roode, by all rights, should have won. Especially if Kurt was injured going into BFG. If he was, they have no excuse whatsoever.

No explanation will make it make sense.

So essentially you're saying that one night of promos/builds could undo the 4 months of BFG Series + the month of promos about how much the title win would mean for Bobby + him beating every member of Fortune, including James Storm?

Sorry, but Sinister's right. We DON"T know what leads up to it. Yeah, I still think it's stupid, but if the Cee man is happy about it, that's cool for him. I'm getting a bit sick of the bashing and will start handing out warnings if it doesn't stop.

They had MONTHS of build up, MOTHS, and they could have had Storm go over in the tournament finale, which would have lead to this exact result last night, but with a story behind it that made sense. Instead, they put Roode in the finals, he lost, then Storm gets a title shot and cashes in in the same night. I'm fine with the end result, as I LOVE James Storm, but if the would have changed the finish to the "finals" and had Storm go over, an easy thing to do, it would not be getting criticized, at least not by most of us.

Sorry, but I don't think that's enough of a reason to permanently hate this move. Here's the facts: -Bobby Roode wins BFG series -Bobby Roode is built up for months as a title challenger including endorsements from Sting and emotional video packages -Hulk Hogan says Bobby Roode isn't ready -Of course, Bobby Roode loses by screwy means in a rushed match to an injured world champion -Sting (the guy who endorsed Roode) decides on the next Impact that his tag team partner gets a title match against Angle instead -James Storm beats Angle in 2 minutes to win the title -Bobby Roode stands there and likes it That's about it. What could possibly change that being bullshit?

There is nothing that can be said or done for me to not be happy for Storm right now, he's my favorite person in TNA and this should have happened years ago imho.
I see where everyone is coming from with the anger but the James Storm mega-mark in me is currently overriding all sense.
