We’ve
seen predictions from Sam here at Tie Up Wrestling, and now we are excited to
be able to share her very first wrestling post with you all. We hope that you
enjoy reading it as much as we did. Please leave a comment at the bottom of the
page and share it with all of the other wrestling fans out there.
The IT Factor, Bobby Roode, will not shine so brightly this Sunday at TNA's Final Resolution. While he is one of the most formidable heels in the wrestling business, he will not take the World Heavyweight Title from Jeff Hardy. The irony is he really has no control over the factors.
The IT Factor, Bobby Roode, will not shine so brightly this Sunday at TNA's Final Resolution. While he is one of the most formidable heels in the wrestling business, he will not take the World Heavyweight Title from Jeff Hardy. The irony is he really has no control over the factors.
Even
though Roode handles the pressure of being a World Champion, single or tag
team, I do not think he will be handed the gavel this time. It is public
knowledge that Jeff Hardy has not signed a new contract with TNA. His contract
is due to expire in early 2013. Until
TNA and Hardy come to terms, the apple cart will not be upset. It is imperative
that Jeff Hardy is kept happy and in the lime light. He brings in viewers and
money that TNA cannot afford to lose at this time. Even though Roode is a great
champion, he does not carry the viewer rate or the merchandise sales that Hardy
does. Until a new contract is signed, which Roode does not control, I foresee a
“whatever Jeff wants, Jeff gets" aspect of TNA.
Another
reason the IT Factor will not be successful is that James Storm is now battling
a rib injury. After a year of build-up, fans are truly ready to see Storm put
Roode down in a title match. It did not happen at Lockdown in Nashville, as
some of us (me) thought it would. Roode and Storm have given the fans those
great OMG moments and can continue to do so. Even though Roode left Bound for
Glory as the "Tack Factor", I do not believe that was the end. There
are still moments to be had between the two; but with Storm out, the story has
to pause. Some of us are holding our breath for the next match between Roode
and Storm. Could we be looking at another Lockdown match with a locked cage?
Sure hope so. Storm's injury is another factor that Roode could not control.
Don’t
forget the no Roode versus Aries again clause. While I am sure that there is a
loop hole, is TNA ready for a heel versus heel run? As a fan, matches between them
would have no emotion. No reason for the crowd to really back either one. Would
the Selfish Generation overcome the Greatest Man That Ever Lived? Doesn't really matter at this point in TNA.
There is just not enough room to have two dominant heels in TNA unless they
become a tag team.
Aces
and Eights will be a factor on Sunday night. The question is, who benefits more?
Roode or Hardy? At this point, it is not the fans that are growing more tired
of the stagnant story line with no new revelations. Roode can't be the leader
of the Selfish Generation in a club that he can't control. Not to mention
selfish consist of one, not a group.
While
I am not a fan of Bobby Roode, I do respect him as an athlete and entertainer.
He has many accolades in professional wrestling, but I just don't believe he
will regain the World Heavyweight Title at Final Resolution. It is not time for
lightning to strike again. However, I do believe his time will come and soon.
Remember - TNA, Roode, and Storm worked too hard to let that feud die quietly.
Storm will still get revenge and the title that Roode will be holding.
Just
a little insight into my feeble mind. Let me know what ya think.
Sam.
You're a really good writer! I enjoyed reading that. You make awesome points. You should try to get in on TNA creative!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mama on the storm vs. roode segment line. And as far as A double A goes I do like his character, but I still can not see him as a raining main event talent. Only because I can't take him seriously still. Now, Jeff vs. Roode...yeah the lime light will still shin on Jeff cause your right it will lose a lot of $$$ for TNA. But than again you know my reasons for cheering for Hardy...See you in the TNA chat Mama!
ReplyDeleteSam, that was a fantastic read. Just like Emma said, you've raised some great points and you're a great writer. It was to the point, entertaining and funny! Loved the "Tack Factor" ref.
ReplyDeleteAgree with what you said about Storm/Roode down the line. When Storm FINALLY overcomes Roode with the gold on the line, it'll mean SO much more. Unless of course Hogan sticks his oar in and fuc*s the whole thing up again. Great read though Mama!! :)
