Wait, wait, people dog Chris Harris for being a bit out of shape at one part of his career? What about James Storm? He's gained weight and starting to look fat, yet everyone turns a blind eye to him because he's part of a successful tag team? What else has he done? He's been part of two successful tag teams, his singles run was forgettable, and he has no accomplishments at all aside from his tag team championships.
I agree, James Storm is on the same level as Chris Harris. Why? Because people seem to focus far too much on the whole Braden Walker thing and forget about Chris Harris's entire career before that. He was great in America's Most Wanted, and he was even fine as a singles star. He had just as memorable a singles run as James Storm did if people don't use their own revisionist histories.
I actually do think Robert Roode would make a far better heel main eventer then AJ Styles, and I'd much rather see Robert Roode as the main guy in Fourtune over Styles. Turn Styles face, that's where he belongs and if it wasn't for past their prime wrestlers playing politics and grasping at the position of the top Face in TNA then AJ Styles would be there, as he SHOULD. Robert Roode would be a far better guy to have the top spot in Fourtune, then if TNA wanted they could definitely bring Chris Harris back and reunite America's Most Wanted as the tag team of Fourtune down the road. It's really not that bad of an idea. Is it likely? No. Do I care either way? Not really.
I do think people bash Chris Harris for a very small part of his career, dismissing the much longer part of his career where he was a good performer, had great matches, was part of the most successful team in TNA history, and even had a few bright spots on his own such as a few challenges in the main event and for the World title. He's not as bad as people with short term memory syndrome make him out to be.
