After every TNA PPV I always go to a site to check the fan reactions. Even if I thought the PPV was great, I still get a bit edgy when I'm about to click on the button to show some of the fan reactions, and today was no different. HOWEVER, this was a GREAT day. It's truly a wonder sometimes just how polar opposite some fans can be. That notwithstanding, fan support was overwhelmingly on the side of the TNA Nation, with a thunderous applause for Victory Road.
As for how I did with predicting the winners?
50/50. In truth, I think that's telling. It shows me that TNA is trying to keep people guessing. It worked against me. I picked Sting, but Roode took the day and bolstered some SERIOUS heel heat in the process by getting Dixie involved. I picked Madison Rayne, but Gail had an ace up her sleeve and took the win from Maddie. I picked Zema Ion, but the reign of Aries continues. I've only got one thing to say, Aries' next challenger should be something VERY special. On a side note: I never did pick a winner for the open challenge from Robbie E. so a win or a loss needn't be tallied. In any event, a big congrats to Devon for the victory to become the NEW TV CHAMPION! It's about time!
In every case of loss, it made me question what the story is going to be for Impact this week. The setup was terrific for Lockdown in 4 weeks and TNA Creative deserves a great deal of credit for putting heel Roode over the top. I will take this chance to brag a bit about my prediction of the Machine Guns' return being imminent in the coming month or so. Okay, that was it. It'll be nice to see how the Guns return will step up the Tag Team Division. Maybe other teams will materialize.
Victory Road did everything I anticipated it would do and was more entertaining than I could have expected as well. With all of the targets lined up in a row, TNA just has to pull the trigger. One person on the site I checked even went so far as to say that 2012 is TNA's year.....I couldn't agree more.
