Alright, now that I've calmed down since last night's waste of $50 I want to address this specific comment because it represents all that is wrong with looking at TNA through rose coloured glasses. Regardless of whether Storm wins the title at Slammiversary, they've lost a potential group of buyers for that show with the screwy finish last night. There was no better time for Storm to win the title than last night and nobody is going to make me change my mind on that.
Let's examine TNA and assume that their two biggest shows are Bound For Glory and Lockdown. If that is true, they have done the exact same thing leading up to and at both of those shows. Bound For Glory had months of build, the entire BFG series, vignettes of Roode training hard and then on the show itself he came up short. Lockdown had months of build, a huge focus on James Storm's quest to get a rematch with Roode after losing the title to him in November and then on the show itself he came up short. If Slammiversary is their next biggest show (or even bigger than Lockdown), does it not stand to reason the same thing will happen again given this recent history? It's called a trend, and this one is disturbing to say the least.
At some point, TNA has to realize that people are not going to continue shelling out money to see lame finishes like that. I don't care if it furthers some angle like it did after BFG, the bottom line is that this is the second time in less than a year (and at their two main shows) that they have hyped people up to the point of wanting to see a title change and then they didn't deliver. It would be one thing if they did that on a B-show like Victory Road or Sacrifice, but to do it on their bigger shows, and repeatedly no less, is not the right way to do things.
It's not going to make me stop watching the show, but it will make me seriously question paying for their PPV's, which is something I have never had to do before (and that includes after BFG). When you make one of your most loyal supporters question things like that, something is wrong and something needs to be fixed immediately.
