Great PPV last night. Really surprised with Aries winning, but it feels right with the momentum he's been gaining.
Also, not sure why many here are questioning Storm's ability both as a wrestler and as a crowd favourite. He and Roode have been revelations these past 12 months and have really elevated the quality of the show as a whole. Those questioning Storm's ability to get over with the crowd need to watch the match he had with Hardy a couple weeks back. Crowd was hot.
It's more that everyone was expecting Storm to beat Roode for the title at Bound for Glory. Now that they chose not too, they wonder why TNA decided against it. All signs were pointing to the long term plan being Storm taking the title off of Roode.
Now I reckon Austin Aries sudden rise to the top messed up that plan, and I do agree with their choice. Aries really did push himself to this level and the whole "X-Title In The Bank" gimmick could only end with Aries winning the championship, because really, what good would the gimmick be if the first person to cash in didn't win the title. That would suck with promoting it for next years PPV.
So yeah, good choice, I understand where the people are coming from and it's a shame the Roode vs Storm match won't be for the title. Unless, I dunno, three-way between Roode, AA and Storm at BFG? Although that would make the BFG Series less important, so I guess no.
