oh well done.

I do like how it's called "against all odds" and the champ is actually having to "fight the odds". Well done.

But yeah if I watch it I'm rooting for Bubba on Sunday just cuz.

I don't care if it's the most terrible PPV in terms of match quality ever, if Bully Ray wins the title this will be PPV of the ever.

One of the reasons it'd be cool if Bubba won would be that 5 of the TLC sextet will have won world titles (counting Matt Hardy's ECW title) (whatever)

I quite like that idea, and if anything shows what a properly-built tag division can do in terms of developing stars, that does I guess.

Debuted in June as part of a tournament to develop new X-Division stars with a contract for the winner.

He won the contract in July at Destination X in a four-way against Zema Ion, Low-Ki, and Jack Evans (in what is generally considered the TNA MotY for 2011), and then pretty much immediately got into the X-Division Title picture, winning the belt on his second try in September from Brian Kendrick at No Surrender.

He has held the title ever since, and nearly cleaned out the entire division.

If Aries can survive one more week with the title, he'll have the 2nd-longest X-Division reign in the title's 10-year history.

A tall task though, considering he defends it on Sunday, and then they tape two weeks worth of Impact on Monday and Tuesday.

Also not in his favor: not a single TNA title has yet changed hands in 2012.

There has been a fair amount of title stability in all companies lately. Here's a ranked list of the current WWE/TNA/ROH Champions, based on the length of their reigns:

1.) Davey Richards
2.) Cody Rhodes
3.) Jay Lethal
4.) Austin Aries
5.) Beth Phoenix
6.) Gail Kim/Madison Rayne
7.) Bobby Roode
8.) Robbie E.
9.) Gail Kim
10.) Crimson/Matt Morgan
11.) CM Punk
12.) Daniel Bryan
13.) The Briscoe Brothers
14.) Primo/Epico
15.) Jack Swagger

CM Punk has had a fairly stable 3-month reign (by WWE standards lately) and he's still pretty far down the list!

I like how on the last episode of Impact, they kept building the storyline that "Against All Odds" was a great name because the odds were really stacked against... the heel champion. Isn't that like, you know, a little counter-intuitive?

The thing I've never understood about that logic is that the odds are all equally stacked against all four guys. Yes, the odds are stacked against Bobby Roode, but individually they're just as much stacked against James Storm, Bully Ray, and Jeff Hardy. There's no actual disadvantage.

Yes, on some level he does have the most to lose in the match, but does he really? The three challengers HAVE to win, or else risk falling down the contender ladder. Should Roode lose, he'll at least know that he's due another title shot very soon.

He pinned James Storm (technically cleanly!) after Angle destroyed him in the locker room sneak attack.

He beat Styles at Turning Point due to shenanigans, and then after the time-limit draw at Final Resolution, he beat him in the "5 minute overtime" on Impact.

And then the two matches with Hardy.

So he's 3-1-2 in his 6 televised title defenses thus far.

I like how Bully Ray has manipulated the system. He lost to Abyss at Genesis, but has basically gotten a title shot purely due to force of will, inserting himself into the main event scene purely by beating down top contenders.

Also I wonder if Roode's disingenuous promise of a title shot for him played into Ray's favor, with the honorable and vindictive Sting in part punishing Roode for his heel transgressions by making him live up to his word, to Ray's benefit!

The Abyss thing is kinda funny in a classic TNA sense too.

Abyss wins the match (and thus seemingly the feud), and then later on in the show we see him and Bully fighting their way out of the arena, and then even later we see Bully coming back with blood on his hands, and when asked what happened to Abyss, he completely denies having any knowledge about what the question is even about.

And now here we are 5 weeks later and still no Abyss.

Nice work Sting, letting an employee go missing for over a month! It's Samoa Joe getting kidnapped by ninjas all over again!
