What’s Bothering Me? (In Professional Wrestling)

#1. What Was The Point, TNA?

I was just putting TNA over for what I felt was a positive swerve in putting the title on James Storm instead of Bobby Roode.  However, we're going to now see a heel turn by Roode and a title swap this Thursday night on Impact Wrestling.

Bobby RoodeI'm perfectly fine with Roode's heel turn. I think that will serve him well. I also think Storm will work better as a face right now. But what was the point of putting the title on Storm at all? Roode should have just won at Bound For Glory like originally planned.

Roode beating Storm doesn't devalue Storm's title win. He was never supposed to get it in the first place. He gained from it. Roode's win on Thursday will mean considerably less now. Had he won it at BFG, that wouldn't be the case.

I also agree with Madden's latest editorial. The Roode/Storm feud should have been held off for months. There would have been a number of ways to set it up with the heel turn and it would have meant much more than it's going to now.

I'm still looking forward to Roode and Storm working each other, so I'm not ruling it a complete bust yet, but it's not the direction I would have taken to get it started.
