Aces & Eights

Any World Heavyweight Title is designed to be the ultimate culmination of a wrestler’s heroic journey. So, why even in doing the right thing and putting the right person in position to knock off the man who has been the company’s top heel for the last year, has TNA done the sloppiest possible job of telling the tidiest, most archetypical story in existence?

Above all, this match felt like a real main event. Wrestlers in a top storyline were fighting with something meaningful on the line, and they delivered a match of worthy length that told a story that, even with many bells and whistles, was easy for the crowd to get behind.

After building last week’s edition of Impact Wrestling around a World Heavyweight Title change, TNA goes into this week promising to resolve another title situation by introducing a new X-Division Champion. Along with the surefire title change, TNA is advertising a big time Bound for Glory Series matchup between A.J. Styles and Jeff Hardy along with two other BFG series contests.
