I'm going to take Booty's advice and vote in my own poll....
As much as I hate the guy, I gotta go with Jeff Jarrett over Bobby Roode. Not taking anything from Roode's reign, which I personally enjoyed (plus I am a big time Roode fan), but I feel if we are looking at the bigger picture of the title, Jarrett has the win in this. Yes, Roode had some classics and really put the TNA Heavyweight Title on a new level, and nobody can take away his bragging rights. However, when I look at Jarrett's title reigns, I'm thinking of a time where TNA was really trying to find their identity as a company, and they did a lot of experimentation as a whole. Jarrett had a few lengthy reigns, but then he also had a few not so spectacular as well. However, I look at some of the things he did while champ like assisting in building new contenders (AJ, Christian, Rhyno, Raven) for his title, which the guys in parenthesis actually won. Also, in the Jarrett era of the belt, we were given matches like KotM and he also brought AMW to a new level as heels by aligning with him. Overall, I feel Jarrett did more as champion and deserves the nod here, and although I would have loved to vote for Roode, I know it would of been wrong to do so as I remember watching Jarrett as champ and recall a few of his runs being more influential, on the whole, than Roode's. I think we need to understand that these are two different eras in the company as well, so it is somewhat difficult to judge.
As for the second showdown, I am going with AJ Styles. Like a few of you have said before, AJ has been the face of TNA, I feel, since its inception when he became the first X Division Champion. It's no secret that his contributions to the company have been great, and I feel he did the same when he won the World Title. Although Kurt had some good matches, I feel every AJ match is great, and it only made the title look stronger when he defended or won it.
