...even though the match with Lance Hoyt tonight was short, I liked the direction they're taking with Storm and Hoyt at this point.
Ever since Storm turned heel, I kinda cheer for him in a bad guy kind of way. His modern cowboy gimmick fits very well for TNA and I think he's better than Bobby Roode in terms of handling the push.
The beer bottle helps him a lot as well, by having a legitimate, signature weapon, and drinking it before a match keeps him "focused" and "relaxed" during his matches.
Another plus was his new valet, Jacqueline Miss Tennessee. She's always great as a heel and shows more intuition than Tracy Brooks with Roode...probably being in the business longer.
One last plus for Mr. Cowboy is his finisher. Sure its a Superkick, but him in a "focused" and "relaxed" mood due to the beer, it can be very lethal, especially with what Petey sold tonight. A GIF of Petey selling that Superkick would be cool.
I know he does not impress some people here, but ever since Storm moved on from the AMW gimmick, he has won a new fan.

I said before AMW broke up he was a star in the making and this (albeit short right now) heel run is just confirming that. He is TNA's next big star.

I liked the move he gave Hoyt in the middle of the match on the turnbuckle.
I'm liking James Storm now. Never really liked him before,especially around the Weekly PPV era when he was single, but now he's growing on me.

Missed TNA tonight but always liked Storm, he developed a great TV character in a short time.

The entrance theme is fantastic!
I'm digging Storm as well. The Harris feud will be great when it happens.

 I mark. That goes double for his music. He comes across as a legit, badass redneck too, not just a parody like Trevor Murdoch. I still mark for Murdoch, though. |

I like the music and his in ring action, but he's quickly being misbooked, he apparently needs "Miss Tennesee" (not a big issue) and two members of the Chicago White Sox (a big issue) just to beat one person. Stop making your heels look waxing weak, TNA.

I'm digging the theme also, and I agree wholeheartedly he's way better than Roode and his push that went to hell in a handbasket.
I love how this is a slow simmer feud for the return of Harris, they didn't rush it right away and have Storm/Harris fight a million times on Impact/PPVs in a short time like other feuds *ahemAngleJoeahem*
Does anyone have his theme, it's stuck in my head,lol.

If he didn't have to talk or compete within the ring, I'd like him much more.
But at one point, he did one of the finer Skinning the Cat I have ever seen. So, kudos for a guy his size, since he ain't no Shawn, Jericho or whomever to pull that off. He really hasn't done it lately, but maybe he hasn't lost it.

The entrance theme is fantastic! I'm digging Storm as well. The Harris feud will be great when it happens. I'm a huge Storm fan. And FYI, his music is a house version of "Electric Rodeo" by Shooter Jennings. It's a great song. |

I give the guy credit, he's really ran with what was a somewhat rushed heel turn that I never thought would go anywhere. and he's one of the few guys who gets legit heel heat in the Impact zone. TNA should be smart with this one

I totally called it too. I mark for Storm. I always found Harris to be bland ++. This guy actually has a personality and teaming him up with Jackie was a good idea too. Well done TNA, so far so good.

Didn't get to watch tonight, but I'm not totally sure about Storm.
I thought his PPV match against Petey could've been better, to be honest. That said, the guy has some potential, as he's clearly worked on his character somewhat since the last time he had a singles run.
Gotta say, though, that theme song is catchy as hell.

I never thought I would be marking for a member of AMW.

For some reason, Jacqueline looks better to me than she has in a long while. I wonder if she's had work done.

He's definitely growing on me. And that entrance theme is great.
He's the kind of guy who TNA need to have a midcard belt for.
