[Genesis] Roode v. Aries v. Hardy (C) [TNA World Heavyweight Championship]

[PsychoBlack]

I hate the idea of triple threat's for title matches. I've only seen two that I really liked and i don't think this one will be any different than the rest. With that being Said Aries needs the belt he's a natural champion and I feel like he and Roode should have been feuding for a lot longer than they were.

Jeff Hardy is money. Kids love him and TNA can make a bunch of toys around his image. They'll keep the title on him for the money.

Everyone loves the money, you know... cause they're a business.

@Alex: Hogan made the match elimination rules, most likely to prevent that exact scenario.

I hadn't watched Impact whe I posted, so I didn't know. To me making it an elimination match takes away from the surprise a bit, because when somebody gets eliminated it becomes a one on one which takes away from the triple threat idea I feel. The only thing that would make it interesting is that the eliminated party comes back to screw over one the participants.

Maybe it'll be the leader of Aces 'n Eights when they reveal who he is sometime in the next 10-20 years.

In all seriousness though, I do think Hardy will win this one. Hardy = money, and I just can't see Roode or Aries winning here. I mean, maybe at a strech Aries, but the same thing you said about Hardy applies to Roode if he wins. Who is he going to face again? James Storm for the 1000th time?

Hardy = money = winner of this match...I think.

With this being an elimination match I say Hardy wins. I have no idea who will be the first one eliminated my guess is Aries.

Hopefully after Lockdown we can move past Hardy/Aries/Roode combo in the main event all the time and get the strap around Storm's waist somehow.

This should be a strong match. Roode & Aries have been carrying much of the build while Hardy pops in at the right time to take both out by surprise. It's really the best role for him because he flat out blows on the mic.

As for the winner, I'd bet Hardy retains here. I'm assuming that Hardy has signed a new deal with TNA by now but I'm sure TNA wants to do whatever they can to keep him happy for a while. Also, Hardy is the most over face on the TNA roster right now. It wouldn't surprise me if Aries & Roode kind of took one another out or were so focused on each other that it allowed Hardy to ultimately get the win. I could honestly see Aries delivering the Brainbuster to Roode and Hardy jumping off the top with the Swanton Bomb right afterward, then delivering a kick or something to Aries before pinning Roode.

For starters, I don't see the title changing hands... but if it does, I think that Aries benefits the most. He, without a doubt, was robbed of the spotlight he deserved when he was the champion. I think a second run could help solidify him some more.

With that said, the reason why I don't see these men winning is because I'm loving them as a potential heel tag team in the tag division. Let's face it, Chavo and Hernandez both fucking suck as a tag team. Individually, they could be used better, or at least Chavo could... Hernandez can hit the hay and bow out. Ryan & Morgan is meaningless, mostly because Morgan is in the same boat as Hernandez IMO.

I think this match will be the match that does eventually get these two men together. I think that without a successful victory for either one, the two men will become hungry for gold that they'll set aside differences and go for the tag titles... and hell, why stop there? The two of them could even take the TV (Roode) and X Division (Aries) titles and form a power trip esque tag team.
