TNA: Turning Point Is Over, How Will the Results Affect the Future of Impact?

Did anyone expect a different outcome from Turning Point? Come on, raise your hands—it's okay, we won't laugh.

Seriously, Turning Point may have been a predictable PPV, but it was nothing to write home about, nothing to get excited about.

Sure, we saw Bobby Roode retain his TNA World Title and Gail Kim take the Knockouts Title from Velvet Sky, but those things were predictable. Injuries, bad planning and a failure to market led to those outcomes.

The PPV  deserved a "C+" on a grading scale. And we wanted to see more.

Now comes the hard part of waiting until Thursday to sort it all out.

Here is what we know, or at least think we know—TNA still needs a barn burner of the change, something that raises the roof and hits the masses with one big body slam.

Bobby Roode holding the title is a good thing right now, because he can hold onto it for a while, wait for James Storm to return and then feud like nobody's business. And along the way, we can see development in stars like a Crimson or Matt Morgan, a Pope or maybe someone like a Kazarian.

We need to see more people step up and challenge.

As for the Knockouts Division, I have no issue with Gail Kim winning gold, because she is a great talent. I do, however, hate to see Velvet Sky hold the title for less than a month and then relinquish it. And I certainly don't want to see Mickie James pull it back onto her waist.

Oh, Melina, where are you when we need you? Where is ODB? Hell, Lacey Von Erich would work for me as well.

What we need is a real commitment by creative to keep these titles on the current champions for a bit and sort everything out so there are viable feuds that "matter" to this company.

And hopefully a great buildup to Final Resolution.
