TNA Champions Discussion Thread

[Los666]

Samoa Joe should be the next champion, TNA need one of their own to hold the belt rather then former WWE superstars (Angle, Christian Cage, Booker T...) or WCW superstars (Sting). By doing so, they could show everyone that they don't need already established superstars from other companies to live off, and that they can build up there own star.

The MCMG need to win the Tag Titles, or split up and face each other for the X Division Championship.

 

[ccs48]

ok first of Kurt Angle is a good champion but he's getting old fast and Somoa joe will probably win the World title from him at lockdown so the X division title Jay Lethal is cool but they need to actualy put him in a feud instead of just feeding him a random guy each ppv Lethal will probably lose the X title at lockdown to Sonjay Dutt the tag titles Aj and Tomko have been great champs but i dont see them holding the belts much longer LAX will win them at the ppv after lockdown the start a feud with McMg the knockout title kong is good but will lose it toODB in the near future

 

[corvid77]

Will ANY woman legitamately beat kong? I love gail kim, but her win over kong was dubious at best. I cannot see any one woman beating kong in the near future. Kong isn't only big, but she can move and even do high risk. Awesome kong really is awesome, and I can only see a big brawny woman beating her. Little 120 lb. women aren't going to beat her

There are plenty of women that are capable of beating Kong and making it look believable in TNA . Cheerleader Melissa is more than capable of doing so as she was really the first competitor that Kong had on the US indy circuit that chopped the big woman down to size. Roxxi Lavaeux as Nikki Roxx put on a real nice match with Kong that went nearly 20 minutes. Roxx came close several times to pinning Kong in that match. Gail Kim is more than capable of putting on a good match with Kong and picking up a believable win. Gail has quickness and agility. She has a deep wrestling background in lucha as well as lucha inspired submission's. It won't take just a woman with nothing but power to pick up a believable win over Kong, as a woman with the right technique is more than capable of doing so as well.

First off im a huge supporter of The MCMG and totally agree that they need to win the tag titles, but the beutiful thing about a good title win is when its long coming and not an immediate thing just because a team or individual deserves it. Furthermore, im totally against the whole 'tag-division is a stepping stone to a singles career' mindsight, sure some of the best have done it (HBK, Edge for example) but then again, Team 3D don't need singles runs and have never really had them for any significant length of time (like the hardy's and even DX to a much lesser extent, they will always resurface as a duo from time to time)! Look at HBK, he spent nearly a decade as a tag wrestler & until it happened, no-one was saying the Rockers needed to split-up.

As for the Joe being champion, I also agree, plus this has been long coming. However, Joe isn't a 'TNA' guy, he is known as the ROH legend so i'd personally choose someone like James Storm (or Chris Harris were he still there) who did the indy scene yet found his fame in TNA.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Well, that's a lot of new champions. In theory, this section would be alight with discussion considering that. I'll do my best.

Samoa Joe: Has caught quite a lot of stick, from people who do and don't want him to be champion. It's either the wrong time or he shouldn't have the belt at all. As a fan of Joe, I find that such a shame. I think he'll be a good champion. Not great, but pretty good. I doubt he'll have it too long anyway.

Tag Titles: Let's list all the teams that actually deserve the tag titles: Motor City Machine Guns. I'm sorry, there are no others. Either give them back to AJ and Tomko or get your asses out of your head. They're actually good for a team made up of two individuals rather one that properly gels.

Petey: Yeah, whatever, it's not as if people actually care any more, is it? Might as well give it to another comedy character now that people "care" about him. This title will never be anything serious again, otherwise they'd give it to people with proper gimmicks.

 

[AndySmithers]

Petey: Yeah, whatever, it's not as if people actually care any more, is it? Might as well give it to another comedy character now that people "care" about him. This title will never be anything serious again, otherwise they'd give it to people with proper gimmicks.

I can see what your saying. I must say there are people in the x division that deserve the title more than Petey does at this moment. But just because Petey won the title it will never be anything serious again? I think your blowing things out of proportion there. Personally I would have preferred someone like Sunjay to have won the title from Lethal. It was too early for them letting Petey cash in the title shot. At least 2 months to early I would say. But anyway, I dont think he is as bad as people on this forum make him out to be.

 

[misskim]

People care much much more about Petey now than ever before, I don't get how you can think othervise. And the way he won it was great, really heelish and good.

I know that I never cared about Petey and none of my non smark friends either, now after his storyline with Scott Steiner people actually know who he is, he has gotten a cool character too, stop believing that the smark crowd that counts because it's not. The X division is getting tons of good characters and that is always good.

 

[SexyBeast]

Finally Samoa Joe won his title it's been a long time since he had a title shot against the TNA World Champ

Petey did win the X Division title and I'm happy about it

Awesome Kong I DON'T LIKE HER

 

[Uncle Sam]

I can see what your saying. I must say there are people in the x division that deserve the title more than Petey does at this moment. But just because Petey won the title it will never be anything serious again? I think your blowing things out of proportion there.

No, the fact that it's only contested by people with cartoonish gimmicks is why it'll never be serious division again. I mean, you have to have a cartoonish gimmick to be in the X Division these days. Who decided that? I'm not saying they won't be successful, I'm just saying it won't be a serious division ever again.

Personally I would have preferred someone like Sunjay to have won the title from Lethal. It was too early for them letting Petey cash in the title shot. At least 2 months to early I would say. But anyway, I dont think he is as bad as people on this forum make him out to be.

I'm indifferent to him. He's no better, nor any worse than any other cruiserweight with a silly hat in the X Division.

People care much much more about Petey now than ever before, I don't get how you can think othervise.

Because there's no actual evidence either way? Until people actually start bringing in signs saying "I care about you Petey" then I'll be meh. People cared about AJ Styles more when he didn't have his gimmick. Of course Petey will get more of a reaction now, but that's more of a result of being the X Division champion than anything.

I know that I never cared about Petey and none of my non smark friends either, now after his storyline with Scott Steiner people actually know who he is, he has gotten a cool character too, stop believing that the smark crowd that counts because it's not.

Smark crowd? What are you talking about? You don't have to be a smark to find cartoonish gimmicks difficult to watch. I certainly couldn't recommend TNA to any of my self-respecting friends. And what do you mean Petey has got a "cool" character? He's got Scott Steiner's character, only it's a poor imitation.

The X division is getting tons of good characters and that is always good.

Whacky doesn't mean good. Whacky is why half the people on this site I talk to won't watch TNA. Whacky is what makes me cringe more than an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm before changing the channel.

 

[Instant Classic]

Samoa Joe: Has caught quite a lot of stick, from people who do and don't want him to be champion. It's either the wrong time or he shouldn't have the belt at all. As a fan of Joe, I find that such a shame. I think he'll be a good champion. Not great, but pretty good. I doubt he'll have it too long anyway.

Joe is quite possibly the most boring champion in recent memory. What does having him as champion actually achieve for TNA? You can defend him all you like but the declining ratings do not lie- since Joe was champion ratings have slumped, and its obvious why, Joe fans can blame the timing of the title reign or uninteresting feuds all they like, and they are certainly a major factor. However the fact is Joe is extremly overated, yes he's had great matches but against who- Angle, Christian, and AJ. The three best guys in TNA,put him in there with someone of similar ability and his matches arent that good. Add that to the fact that the guy lacks mic skills, and only just gets by on his tough guy gimmick, and its obvious to anyone with half a brain that Joe simply is not championship material. I echo the thoughts of previous posters who point to AJ and Christian as replacements, Christian is proven and you know he will do a good job as champion, AJ is a great wrestler and has much more potential than Joe ever had.

Tag Titles: Let's list all the teams that actually deserve the tag titles: Motor City Machine Guns. I'm sorry, there are no others. Either give them back to AJ and Tomko or get your asses out of your head. They're actually good for a team made up of two individuals rather one that properly gels.

MGM? lol these guys are just like a couple of circus performers or acrobats. LAX has credibility being previous champions and fantastic wrestlers IMO espcially Hernandez. MGM are spot monkeys, though i do enjoy some of there double team moves they do it far too much for it to be remotely intresting anymore, if they toned it down a bit they could be decent but not champions,not even close. I liked Sabin as a singles wrestler and I would prefer that they made him one again, a feud with him and Petey could be potentialy intresting. Just anyone but Kaz really please.

 

[Crimson Bonez]

my opinion i agree joe is a boring champ this may be biased cause hes my fav. TNA wreslter but i think Cage should be the world champ i just think he should adadt a submission move as for tag team champs LAX to me is a good tag team their chemitry talent power speed agilty good finishers, its all good. as for the X division kaz maybe or the 1 from motor city machine guns would be good and as for the knockout champ kongs time should be up i think love is getting better in the ring and good that shes taking on ppl like odb roxxi and kim but i think in a short time she should be knockout champ between her and roxxi

 

[Hart_Break_Kid_4life]

Joe is a boring champ because he lost his edge. When he was X Division champion he slaughtered men left and right but now he is getting punked out by Bokker T. It maybe that he cant keep up with the bigger guys or that he is not a good character to see as a face. either way he needs to either lose the belt or start destroying people again

Petey is an awesome wrestler and finally has a reason to be pushed into the limelight after the fall of team Canada. He has always had the talent but now with Khan and Steiner he has the story and team to back him up again.

LAX are no doubt very talented but i think its time MCMG got their title reign. They have been around for a while and were voted tag team of the year in 07. TNA management needs to give these young kids the push they deserve. Also in the WWE neither LAX or MCMG would get their pushes because they are too small and Hernandez is not their look. Maybe a tag title run, maybe.

Taylor seems like she has talent but to just jump past Roxxi, Gail Kim and ODB is crazy. She doesnt deserve the title just yet.

 

[Beeyond_Good_and_Evil]

Samoa Joe is a dry world champion. Is he a great wrestler? Sure. Is he filled with intensity? Of Course. But there is no denying that Joe won the TNA title because TNA targets the same audience ROH does and Joe was a legend in ROH. I think they pulled the trigger too late on Samoa Joe, and his reign has suffered because of it. He should've won it a long time ago and now he needs to be built back up to a credible main eventer again before he reaches his next reign. I'm pulling for Booker T at No Surrender although I think Joe will win.

Petey Williams X-Division title reign has been pathetic so far. He is hardly ever on tv. He is nothing without Scott Steiner and that's sad seeing as how Scott Steiner sucks. Little Petey Pump needs to scoot over and make way for the Phenomenal AJ Styles.

LAX are far better heels than faces. I hated them when they were gonna burn the american flag it got them great heat. As faces they're no good. Because they call us gringos they have racist maneuvers and they disrespect our country. I look at them as tweeners because I don't understand how they can be faces.

Taylor Wylde is solid in the ring and she has a nice body. But she has a messed up face and she didn't earn her title reign. I would had Gail Kim or Roxxi beat Kong not a rookie. I wanna see Angelina Love take the title. The Beautiful People have the highest rated segments in the show ususally. Since Velvet is made out to be a jobber. Then Love should beat Wylde for the belt.

 

[Syxx-Pac]

I seriously hate Samoa Joe with a passion! His mic skills are TERRIBLE, and his matches are BORING! I have no clue why TNA keeps him, yet alone making him TNA Champ! And even putting over Booker T. I don't know how TNA lets him use the microphone, and I don't know how his segments even bring in a .000001 rating. My dada and I have a DvR, so we can skip commercials and stuff, and we mostly skip all of Samoa Joe's crap. PLUS! HE'S FAT AS CAN BE! It seems as if he doesn't even work out! I'm done here. PLEASE TNA: MAKE JOE DROP THE TITLE!

 

[Disco Sucks]

Taylor Wylde is solid in the ring and she has a nice body. But she has a messed up face and she didn't earn her title reign. I would had Gail Kim or Roxxi beat Kong not a rookie.

Then Love should beat Wylde for the belt.

I agree with you most things except for this statement. Mainly because it seems you're mixing her looks with her talent. If womens wrestling is ever to truly progress than how "hawt" a certain wrestler is shouldn't be an issue. The two best womens wrestlers in America, and possibly the world (not likely, Joshi kicks too much ass) aren't exactly supermodels, but this is WRESTLING, not a modeling show. By the way I'm referring to MsChif and Sara Del Rey. Wilde has been pushed too quickly, and I agree she should drop it to Love, but not because she lacks good looks. Hopefully TNA will wake up in Gail's absence and rid Melissa of her Saeed gimmick and push Cheerleader Melissa as a face. She's among the greatest as well.

 

[MisterRob]

Petey Williams as champion right now is forgettable and its a shame too. I didn't mind his new "Mapleleaf muscle" gimmick in the beginning, the way he was showing more personality and developing catch phrases, but when he became nothing but a clone to Scott Steiner with the moustache and hair color that's when it went from the hint of potential to sad and ridiculous. He doesn't need to get over by pretending to be a small version of someone else, that's totally unneeded. I miss Petey Williams in Team Canada. I miss Team Canada in general, as Eric Young was FAR better and actually amusing and watchable back then as opposed to the crap he's doing now. The only one that's fine right now, with the gimmick and direction he's been given is Robert Roode (but I don't like his singles push being dropped and him being tossed into some throw together tag team). They should really have Williams, Young and Devine get fed up with the crap they're doing in TNA right now and turn back into Team Canada.

 

[anonymous]

Samoa Joe-The biggest problem with Samoa Joe in my opinion is that he is not presented consistently as equal to other talent like Booker T, Kurt Angle, and other "established" talents. Also, he was given the Title a year to late. On the other hand, Joe did beat Kurt Angle clean at Lockdown and gave Booker T the beating of his life at Hard Justice. To say that creative has NEVER tried to book him as equal is obviously proven wrong by the above incidents. Seeing that the "established" talents really don't need the TNA World Championship, I hope that the wrestler who beats Joe for the Title is a "homegrown" talent like Aj Styles.
Petey Williams-Many fans don't like the whole Mapleleaf Muscle thing, but I feel that having a personality is better than being some vanilla wrestler with a cool finisher. I have no problem with his gimmick because wrestlers like Petey Williams, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, Christopher Daniels, and etc are so talented that they can get over with the fans even with a generic gimmick. Everyone of these wrestlers show more personality now than they did when they were just crazy X Division wrestler A, B, C, etc, even if they all have wacky gimmicks. I know that it is unfair, but it is either these wrestlers have a wacky gimmick yet show some personality, or be some vanilla (plain) X Division wrestler. Petey's feud with Consequences Creed is an undercard feud for sure. These two will put together some great matches. I honestly feel that they are in the right place right now in that they get television time on Impact and get to be the opening match on PPVs. To expect more from these two is kind of unrealistic.
Taylor Wilde-Creative decided to hotshot her to the top of the Knockouts division at the expense of Awesome Kong. In one way, it worked in that most fans see her equal to say....an ODB, who is a top babyface of the Knockouts Division. There are only three REAL heels in the Knockouts Division-Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Awesome Kong. While Taylor can work with these three for a while, I always thought that it would be cool to see Roxxi turn heel and feud with Taylor Wilde because she is kind of lost in the mix. Hopefully, someone like Daizee Haze can take Gail Kim's spot.
Beer Money-I am totally indifferent to this name unlike many fans and critics because there have been great tag teams out there in the past with totally generic names such as: The Rockers, The Eliminators, The Smoking Guns, The Body Donnas, etc. It is unfortunate that they were put in a tag team when their singles careers have taken off, but in all honesty, there really is not too much room for these two at this time in the upper midcard/main event level like many would like them to be. I mean, who could they really feud with that is on the upper tier that isn't occupied with a feud or angle right now? I feel that there are more deserving tag teams especially LAX or MCMG who could use the tag titles more. I am just waiting for a potential MCMG vs LAX feud. Hopefully, one of those tag teams has the tag titles if they ever feud.

 

[Thomas]

I agree that Samoa Joe is not presented consistently as equal to other talent and maybe having a continuing feud with Booker T may help get him there. I had thought of what TNA could do for Samoa Joe and to keep things interesting. There is one final qualifying match coming up this week. I was thinking that maybe TNA could change their IMPACT! schedule to something like this... The first match of the night would be the qualifying match. Then they could have Samoa Joe defend against Booker T just 3 days before the PPV. This match could be at the top of hour 2. There would be a stipulation though. Whoever is the champion at the end of the match would go to the 4 ways to glory match and whoever isn't the champion would lose their spot in that match. Then the main event would put the 4 losers of the qualifying matches in a "last chance" match, meaning they would have another chance to qualify and the winner of this match would take the vacant spot in the 4 ways to glory match. Now lets say Booker T loses to Samoa Joe and lets say that AJ Styles loses his qualifying match only to win the last chance match and becomes the 4th man in the PPV match. Booker T would show up at the PPV and cost Samoa Joe the title and AJ Becomes the new TNA World Champion. Over the next few weeks Booker T and Samoa Joe would be too busy feuding and forget about the championship for awhile. Meanwhile AJ, as the champion, would try every week to prove to Sting that he does respect him and the business. That's where we would see Booker T join Sting and Samoa Joe joining AJ Styles. Joe/AJ would add to their stable while Booker/Sting would add to theirs. It;s just a thought.

 

[Shock]

I'll rate as follows: thumbs way down = 1/5; thumbs down = 2/5; fist = 3/5; thumbs up = 4/5; thumbs way up = 5/5

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe: Samoa Joe has personality, talent, charisma, and wrestling knowledge. The only problem I have with him that most have with wresters the the Undertaker or Triple H (I can't think of anyone else in TNA). That he is predictable. Whether it's what he says or what he does, Samoa Joe is pretty predictable. But I look past that and give Joe a fist.
TNA X Division Champion "Maple Leaf Muscle" Petey Williams: He is awesome. He is strong, quick, and he knows his stuff. He has mic talent too. Now to address the one problem people seem to have: his gimmick. Come on people, "Little Petey Pump" has nothing to do with "Maple Leaf Muscle". At least the Scott Steiner gimmick had a storyline behind it. And he's done a lot better since he's acquired this new gimmick. So, whatever you may call him, "Maple Leaf Muscle" or "Little Petey Pump", Petey Williams gets two thumbs way up from me.
TNA Tag Team Champions Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode): Wow. This was... a surprise. First, we're surprised to see two of the best heels in TNA join forces. Then, we see them officially become a tag team, naming themselves Beer Money Inc. Now, they are definitely impressive, two strength wrestlers showing their skills. I was fine with that, as I'm actually kind of a fan of Robert Roode. But then we see Beer Money, Inc. Win the TNA Tag Team Championships. Not that it's a bad thing, but now that LAX has no titles, I don't know what's going to happen with them. But this isn't about LAX, it's about Beer Money, Inc. So, as a tag team, and a gimmick, I give Beer Money Inc. a thumbs up for being able to be be a tag team, and still being able to keep their original gimmicks.
TNA Knockouts Champion Taylor Wilde: Wha- hu- What? Where did this come from? When she won it, I was like, wow. She'll end up keeping it for a few weeks and then Gail Kim will come and win it. But then she kept it, and I was disappointed. She hasn't even defended it. I mean, come one. And now she's having her first title defense against Angelina Love? My god. Not that Love isn't impressive, but we need to see Roxxi, ODB, or even Jacqueline making a comeback. Now that Traci Brooks is in charge of the Knockouts, maybe she'll do something about this. All in all, I give Taylor Wilde a thumbs down.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Sting- He's cool and all, but I actually wanted Joe to retain. TNA doesn't need to copy WWE by having Sting be their "undefeated wrestlemania" type of character. He wins every bound for glory.... could be worse though. I doubt he will hold the belt for very long.

Bashir- sucks and I can't stand his promos. Creed should be the X division champ not this guy! I don't care who he drops the belt to, even if its someone that sucks, because he just does not deserve it.

Taylor Wilde- The best knockout! I hope her title run keeps going even longer. I always root for her no matter who she's up against.

Beer Money- pretty good tag champs, and I doubt anyone will take their belts anytime soon unless 3D are going to go for 25 reigns rather than the 20 they already have.

not bad, but smackdown and raw both have better champions right now.

 

[My$terio_Fan]

Sting: Sting is a huge icon and is probably the biggest legend in TNA today. He is also probably one of their biggest draw's aswell, but I just don't like him as champion. Maybe this new angle will make Sting a better champion, but I find he boring in TNA. Joe wasn't a very good champion either but I also thought he put on pretty good matches. I just hope this new reign is booked properly.

Taylor Wilde: I really do like her. I feel unlike alot of WWE underdog diva pushes(Kelly Kelly, Maria, Ashley) this one actually works pretty well. I find myself wanting Taylor to win because she play's the baby face role so well. It doesn't hurt that she can wrestle pretty well too, and she seems to work well with most of the knockouts.

Beer Money: I really like Storm & Roode individualy and find them as a team to be a great combination. It's rare that you find a tag team where both guys are both great talkers and good in the ring. I think that both wrestlers deserve better than tag team champions, but right now both are helping elevate the belts. Also to me anyways they feel like a legit tag team instead of some random pairing, probably due to their chemistry together. There feud with LAX is also something that interests me(minus Hector).

Abdul Bashir: I'm surprised at how much I like this guy. I mean it's Davari, but I feel that he was able to find a good character and now that he is given the time he is able to pull it off. While he's character is sorta dated and the "anti-american" stick has been done to death, I still find him convincing. He also gets a fare amount of heat(which in TNA is pretty easy but still)and I regularly enjoy his mic work and his in-ring work is decent as well.

Right now, I'm pretty happy with the current champions. I'm not a huge fan of Sting but with this storyline I think he may be able to change my mind. I hope Styles is the one who beats him in the end. Other future champions include Consequence Creed(X), LAX(tag), and Kong(womens).

 

[Dead Kennedy]

TNA World Champion: Sting

Okay, what happened to the plan of keeping Joe the champion for at least a year? Not that I care really, as his reign got boring and stale fast, through little fault of his own, but of all the possible candidates, dropping it to Sting at this point in his career doesn't seem like a good choice to me. The guy doesn't work house shows at all anymore. People wanna see the champion defend a promotion's top championship at house shows don't they?

Nothing Sting has done in TNA, while I admit I have not watched all that much, has really ever taken me aback to the WCW glory days and the fact that he's world champion at this stage in his career sounds really weird to me. TNA have loads (read: two) of other eligible candidates for world championshipdom, why pick Sting? For some reason, I don't smell a long reign from Sting. I could be wrong I guess...

TNA Knockouts Champion: Awesome Kong

I like seeing the belt back on Ms. Kong. She's basically the most dangerous female (although I sometimes doubt that >.>) in wrestling and looked unstoppable as Knockouts Champ. I never really liked Taylor Wilde as champ for some reason. It just wasn't as fun as watching Kong squash everyone. I hope they don't change a thing in Kong's second reign, since Beth's second reign as Women's Champion has so far been a shadow of the first one.

TNA Tag Team Champions: Beer Money, Inc.

Robert Roode is one guy WWE should steal. This guy is the freakin' bomb. I don't seriously have to explain myself here do I? James Storm is the proverbial Marty Jannetty of this team, but it's actually pretty even and I enjoy both guys' work. Beer Money is sort of a new APA, and you can't go wrong with that. Although I liked LAX more as champs, they do a pretty damn good job with both wrestling and promos. Entertainment value all the way.

X Division Champion: Sheik Abdul Bashir

Daivari was always an underrated worker in WWE. He could draw heat, wrestle pretty well and work the mic but I guess he was a tad short to be a contender for any championship, not to mention that the whole Hassan gimmick was basically a career killer, perhaps in a lesser degree to Daivari than to Hassan (duh).

As Abdul Bashir, Shawn Daivari tweaked, changed and perfected the evil foreign guy character. He's equal to Santino in the way he works...err, bad analogy? He's a damn badass heel in TNA and one of my favourites on the TNA roster. I don't watch much TNA, but I'm gonna watch all of Bashir's matches as often as I can.

 

[Rusty]

I'll just give my opinions on the current champions in TNA.

TNA Heavyweight Champion - Sting
Well since winning the title at Bound For Glory in October, he hasn't done a real lot except being the 'leader' of the Main Event Mafia. He doesn't get booed as much as he should, but he plays the unique heel by being quiet and barely speaking. I can't see him losing the belt until March of next year. Which could be when the whole Mafia/Frontline rivalry ends. I see A.J Styles winning the title off Sting next year, but Sting seems fine as champion for now.

TNA Legends Champion - Booker T
I'm not a fan of introducing this belt in the first place. Booker has done nothing with it except defending against 2 or 3 challengers that had no hope of winning. I know it's meant to give Booker something to do as well as give the Mafia another belt so they can look even more dominant. But I hope when Booker does lose the belt, that he loses it to a young superstar such as Eric Young, Jay Lethal or even Alex Shelley.

TNA World Tag Team Champions - Beer Money
These guys are probably the best booked champions, currently. They have beaten many credible challengers and look very strong. Hopefully after this reign is over, one of them can go on to challenge for the TNA World Title and possibly even win the belt. Let's face it, Roode and Storm are the future of TNA. I enjoy watching these guys every single week and this tag team title reign has actually been a blessing in disguise.

TNA X Division Champion - Sheik Abdul Bashir
I'm indifferent to him. I'm never been a huge fan of Bashir. His reign has been average but I just don't care much for the guy. He's a good heel though as he is hated by the fans in general, which is a good thing. His gimmick works well as a heel but it limits him in a way. I can't see him going past the X Division stage with the current gimmick, but it works well as of right now.

TNA Knockouts Champion - Awesome Kong
I hate Kong as champ. She is always booked as dominant. And I mean always. Now, I know she's a large female and could squash any other Knockout in TNA, but she always gets the upper hand and it's just plain boring. Even when she lost the title last time to Taylor Wilde, she was still booked as dominant as she only lost by a "fluke" rollup. Hopefully she loses the title soon to Roxxi by actually putting her over.

Wow, all 6 champions are heels. I'm not surprised though, as TNA is too heel based for my liking. Decent champions overall, except Kong though who I dislike as the Knockouts Champion.

 

[BigLeagueG26]

Booker T in my opinion is just off the scale as far as champions go,like that Impact a few weeks ago when he was in the ring whipping ass and broadcasting at the same time ,that was just classic.Oh yeah his Don West Impression is a 10.That T.N.A Impact was the best this year!And Petey Williams is my guy his Canadian destroyer is the best finisher I've seen in a long time he has the skill 2 go to the top but first please drop the Petey Pump that's not u,That Big Poppa's Gimmick.
