I read somewhere that there's still discussion about putting the belt on Roode, possibly on an episode of Impact Wrestling or a different pay-per-view, which, in my opinion, would still be great but not mean as much because Bound For Glory is their biggest pay-per-view of the year and he had awesome hype going into the match. This same report suggests they may be holding off and putting the belt on Hardy, which I think would be a mistake because he hasn't yet proven that he can be trusted and that he's there to stay for the long haul. Then again they seem to be content with letting people that have criminal incidents represent them because, "Oh people won't look at that, they'll see a former WWE guy that now works for us and is still tearing the house down every time he steps in the ring." Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy are each very entertaining in their own right still but TNA needs to quit enabling their talent's vices and essentially rewarding their bad behavior. There's been enough tragedy in this business that you think someone would've woken up by now, whether it's the talent of the management, and to see that some of them haven't is disappointing to say the least.
Back to Hulk, it was one thing when he used his power to control what happened to himself, but to do it to someone else was another low entirely. As a fan, this has opened my eyes, but I imagine being in a Robert Roode or an AJ Styles' boots is the next step up in being disheartened about this, not only because of their tenure in the business and the company, but because that's Hulk Hogan, someone a lot of us grew up watching and looking up to.
