If Bound for Glory is supposed to be TNA's Wrestlemania, they need to make the main event feel more meaningful. Bobby Roode's big build-up to a title shot was good. Hogan making media rounds saying Roode was the wrong choice was bad. Angle getting a cheap win in a short match... that's not "Wrestlemania" and certainly doesn't make Roode into a star.

And after all this time, Velvet Sky deserved better in her first title win than in a four-way where the spotlight was shared with two knockouts too many.

And AJ Styles vs Daniels? Words fail me.

Bound for Glory has come and gone and Bobby Roode's destiny was left unfulfilled as Kurt Angle defeated him to retain the TNA World Title.

So we have a months (plural) long feud, featuring most of the top names in the company, in this complicated, tiered tournament to determine the #1 contender at TNA's biggest PPV of the year.

Then the title goes to his tag partner the next night with zero build.

I like Storm. Heck, I like him more than Roode. But TNA? You're friggin' idiots.

[Beat]

Months of build up ruined for another attempt to channel Hulkamania.

TNA has supposedly been trying to do their best to get their proverbial ship righted. They got co-writers to shadow Russo. They pushed a popular original tag team as singles competitors, and they re-hired ROH vets to try to breathe some life back into the X-Division. But when you keep screwing up the payoffs with insulting junk like this, what else can we possibly do but shake our heads and change the channel?
