According to TNA, as of last night, reigning champion Bobby Roode is currently the longest-reigning TNA World Champion in the company’s history after his taped title defense against AJ Styles in what was a phenomenal match-up… of course, since the show was taped, it goes without saying that it would be a shoe-in for Roode’s reign being the longest.
I was able to nab a few moments of Impact last night, but I have to admit that the show was a hell of a lot better than the last time I saw it… and that was ages ago, seemingly. Even with Hulk Hogan’s mugging, Garret Bischoff’s suckage, and the re-debut of Sting to the surprise of fuck all, I thought it was a pretty solid showing of Impact Wrestling. Perhaps it’s due to the Open Fight Night thing they had going on last night and I do hope they stick with that for a good while, because the concept is sound and it has potential.
By far, TNA has managed a much better product than RAW did this week and had enough of a showing to live up to its “Wrestling Matters” tagline. If anything, this makes me hopeful that the live showings will turn out well.
Nice work, Dixie. You win this round… this time.
