At the Impact Tapings James Storm beat Kurt Angle in 3 Minutes to win the title COMMENTS:Hogan didn't think Bobbie Rhode was not ready to be champion so they give it to his Partner instead? Gail Kim also returned to TNA

Wow. That's really telling since Hogan just said if it were up to him, James Storm would be the guy and not Roode. Hogan said he liked his American cowboy, beer drinking, fighting red neck (read watered down Austin) because he felt like it connected with a large audience. Looks like Hogan has all the power in TNA as suspected. I give TNA credit for making a bold and fresh move. They gotta try something new. Must be because Angle is wrecked.

did ROH just do this?
build Davey Richards as the "Next" Champion only to keep coming up short...
Davey's partner, Eddie Edwards shocks everyone by winning the ROH title...
Davey eventually wins by beating his partner for the title...
I'm guessing Roode eventually wins the belt from Storm

Hopefully they book this well, but I'm not counting on it. Look for Hogan/Sting and whoever else to main event the next ppv and not these two.

Well yeah borrow from ROH...down to the guy who should get the belt doesn't, so they give it to his partner.
And Gail is back..umm yay? If she isn't as sloppy as she was in the WWE and if she gets her way and gets pushed to the top, maybe she'll put on some decent matches.

I feel like they completely forgot/dropped the whole 12 Large Summit Bound for Glory series they had going and just plopped Robert Roode into the winners spot. Maybe they were like everyone else having a hard time following CHIKARA's series so they just scrapped it mid-way through not really knowing what to copy do.
How much do you want to bet Hogan/Bischoff are so egotistical they figure no one watches/knows about CHIKARA and ROH so they can easily steal even the most recent story lines from them and no one will notice. That's how it looks.
