Impact started with the New World Heavily Weight Champion James Storm celebrating with fellow fortune members and friends. However the celebration was short as they were interrupted by Soma Joe who wished to challenge Storm for the TNA title. Joe accused Strom’s title reign will only be defended among his friends and nobody else. This confrontation led to Sting to appear to make an official match between Soma Joe and Storm’s tag team partner Bobby Roode.
Roode was victorious as he stood in the middle of the ring with Storm pondering with the idea that they will face each other next week for the title. Although it was nice to see Soma Joe being useful on the show, He is still being poorly misused and hasn’t gained the audience’s attention in several months. What was once an unstoppable machine is now considered a simple fill in for whenever the TNA writers run out of ideas.
As for the storyline between Roode and Storm, it’s developing nicely. Although it was already announced through spoiler alerts, that Roode will turn on his partner and become the New World Champion, The audience was still excited of how nicely the transition is becoming. However, some the internet fans are furious on the notion that the company wanted them to pay a high price Pay Per-View and the title changes hands on a free taped television show. This type of strategy is rarely used in other companies as a way to keep their shows interesting. But it seems that TNA is constantly using this strategy that the fans are becoming more aggravated than interested.
Also on Impact, it was announced that Ronnie from the T.V. show, “Jersey shore” will be soon appearing on Impact. This would be the third cast member to make an appearance in TNA, and once again received less media hype from it. Not even when one of the cast memeber J Wow was actually considering going to be a wrestler, there wasn’t any major media interest. Granted it is important to keep up with the audience interest by bring in celebrities that are currently popular. But when you know target audience is not interested in that celebrity, then you need to move on with a new strategy. Not to say this strategy couldn’t work.
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) had successfully advertised Snookie, from the Jerseys Shore television series to appear in Wrestle Mania 27. Although the WWE did not receive a lot of the fan’s interest in the advertisement provided, but it did create a lot of the media attention. Whereas, TNA who received neither the fan’s interest nor the media attention. TNA must consider revaluating who their fans are and what type of new ideas that they are willing to accept.
