TNA iMPACT! LD for 06/03

[JJYanks121]

So let me get this straight; a historic career midcarder with absolutely zero name value or main event experience is now a superior talent to Sting, AJ Styles and Jeff hardy (otherwise known as three of the most popular talents in the company).

Guys have to make it to the main event somehow. Roode did once feud with Booker T so he can go with the big guns, and he's getting experience with Hardy at the moment. I see a lot in him as an in ring performer and as a character. He has a lot to offer, and if given the right push, I really do think he could outshine a lot of guys.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Disagree, they should let Roode out on his own. That dude would be a better main event heel than Sting, AJ, or whoever else they could throw out there. As much as I like Beer Money, I would love to see Roode get a chance to truly shine.

Yeah I love Roode too, but as long as they're a tag team why not have them as contenders? Isn't BMI one of TNA's better tag teams? Why have them as Flair's lackeys?

They were there too long any way. Glad to see them do something else for a few months.

I'm just not a fan of the whole henchmen role. Again, they're better than that.

I miss Storms boozer cruiser.

Sting hasn't done much in years and this heel turn is going to fail fast because I don't see him winning at Slammiversary.

I would rather see Storm in the main event than Roode.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

Yea. Orton's turn was slow and because he's actually good, Anderson's was fast and because he's great on the mic.

It was slow? Here I thought he went from taking on Kofi and Cena as the clearly defined heel only to three weeks later get face pops for taking on Shemus. Official face status came what, a month later once he broke it off with Legacy. That isn't very slow.

The other part is debatable, but I'm trying to watch wrestling so I'll keep it to a minimum.

 

[JJYanks121]

I agree, actually, but I want the BMI split to be done well and done over a long period of time.

Yes, it could be a well done feud if done right, and if booked right where Storm becomes a face and Roode the heel, it could do wonders for them as singles. Both of them have potential to rise to the main event, though I think Roode has a clear advantage in talent.

Because the show revolves around Flair vs. Hogan at the end of the day?

 

[Gelgarin]

Robert Roode is fine. I doubt he'll ever make it to the main event, but he's perfectly acceptable. Calling him better than Sting or Hardy though is a complete joke.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Roode has a boatload of potential. He's a fantastic singles wrestler, and quite frankly, so is James Storm. Their split should be an instant candidate for "OH SHIT!" moment of the year. It should be well done and build extremely well. The split should happen at a major PPV as well.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

Agreed. Roode should be pushed over Storm.

What exactly has Hogan done this week? A 90 second announcement at the opening; he's hardly dominating.

I don't see the problem. They're wrestling two main event guys. Its better than what the Guns are getting.

 

[Gelgarin]

This is a pretty good match.

 

[JJYanks121]

See, without quoting me, you are twisting my words. I said he has the POTENTIAL to do better in a main event heel role than Sting, and I believe he does because I'm really not buying Sting in that heel role. As for Hardy, as great as he was in WWE, his TNA run is nothing special and I think Roode could get over just as much as a main eventer over time. Of course, Roode would work as a heel, so it's a tough argument because it would be tough to prove, but I do think Roode has POTENTIAL to be a true singles star.

 

[Nate DaMac]

This is a pretty good match.

Agreed.

 

[ABMorales787]

Because the show revolves around Flair vs. Hogan at the end of the day?

For once, that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

That was a good match.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Excellent match, indeed.

 

[ABMorales787]

Storm is just as good as Roode, dammit!

 

[klunderbunker]

What exactly has Hogan done this week? A 90 second announcement at the opening; he's hardly dominating.

Yeah but it's still Hogan's guys vs. Flair's guys.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I like the potential of the PPV match from a wrestling aspect indeed. The 4 of them should work well together.

 

[JJYanks121]

That was pretty good..............ok, untie Russo, no one can make a run in anymore!

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah but it's still Hogan's guys vs. Flair's guys.

You're kind of grasping at straws there. You're right, but nobody else notices trivial things like that.

 

[Gelgarin]

No you didn't.

they should let Roode out on his own. That dude would be a better main event heel than Sting, AJ, or whoever else they could throw out there.

See.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

I guess I'm the only one that didn't like the match.
