The following is from Wrestlezone.com:

Quote :: F4WOnline is reporting that at tonight's Impact Wrestling tapings for next week, Robert Roode defeated James Storm to become the NEW TNA World Heavyweight Champion! It is also being reported that Roode used a beer bottle to the head, making a full-fledged heel turn in order to capture the title.

I can't believe how much TNA dropped the ball on this. First they mess up by having Roode lose at BFG then they do what they always do and have someone win it on free TV, this being Storm. Now, only two weeks into Storm's reign, Roode turns heel and wins the Championship from his former tag team partner, once again on FREE TV.

The other title change...

Quote :: As previously reported, Bobby Roode defeated James Storm at tonight's Impact Wrestling taping to become the new TNA Champion. Several readers have sent in word that in addition to that title switch, Gail Kim and Madison Rayne defeated Tara and Brooke Tessmacher to become the new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions.

As much as I love watching Gail in the ring and I do believe that Madison has what it takes to become one of the best, with a lot of help first, this was a terrible decision on TNA's part. Sure, Tessmacher is still a bit green but that is why she is teaming up with Tara. Plus, as good as Gail is, she has only been back for two weeks and she has already been given a Championship? Terrible booking on the part of TNA and this just goes to show why TNA are stuck where they are.

the thing with giving it away though is that ratings spike. even if its taped. mick foley won the wwe championship on raw and wcw gave the spoiler that it was going to happen, and that was the first week that wwe won the ratings war. sure, he could have won it at the rumble or even st. valentine's day massacre, but he won it on a taped raw. as tony schiavone said "that'll put butts in the seats".

as for the knockouts tag titles, i disagree as well. why should the titles be a catalyst to make people start being talented? also, this isn't like the old days where tag teams travel together, and the veteran of the tag team instills knowledge into the rookie. everybody travels together. so nowadays, all teaming with tara gets miss tessmacher is less ring time. it would be more advantageous if she worked with tara instead of teaming up.

You're wrong. The first time WWE won in the ratings after WCW's long run on top was when Austin vs. McMahon was the main event in April 98.

And Schiavone's comment was meant to be sarcastic.

Typical TNA booking. It's just so sloppy. It's almost as if you go ahead with your plans and all of a sudden want to change things around for no reason and it turns out to be a failure! (Waits for Hazza to read)

True but would have thought things would have changed now that Russo is not Head Booker.

They're trying to raise their weekly rating, and I can't blame them. Whether you agree with this or not, it makes for interesting TV

That's what WCW tried to do. Guess what happened next...

Well, maybe TNA will learn from WCW's mistakes. Get on FB by the way
