TNA gets it right (kind of) by announcing Bobby Roode vs AJ Styles for Final Resolution

Last night (Nov. 17) on Impact Wrestling, TNA did something they deserve a little credit for. They actually properly announced a pay-per-view main event a full three weeks before it's scheduled to take place.

I suppose it's a testament to how bad things can be with the company when they do something like this and it deserves attention by itself but I digress.

Bobby Roode will defend his TNA heavyweight championship in a rematch with AJ Styles on Dec. 11, 2011 at TNA Final Resolution. Except this time, it will be a 30-minute Iron Man match. As usual, the rematch deserves a stipulation, though I find it difficult to call a 30-minute match an "Iron Man."

That said, at least the company has the proper amount of time to promote the match, unlike at the last pay-per-view, Turning Point, when the main event wasn't announced until the final segment of the go-home show.

Baby steps.

The rest of the card has yet to be filled out, save for the Knockout's title match pitting Gail Kim vs. Mickie James. Now that, my dear Cagesiders, is a women's match I can get behind. Should be a good one.

Watch the video of the angle to set up the Roode vs. Styles rematch after the jump.

He does have one of the best, if because he’s got one of the only ones, Catch Phrases in the biz right now. And I hate “Team Bring It”… Its like Rock decided to use the Cena method & got on twitter & all the kids could come up w/ that pile of poop.

I hate to see Beer Money go… that was a great tag team name… Oh well.

The Iron Man concept isn’t the time limit.. though it surely does imply it don’t call me shirley.. any way.. its the counting of pinfalls in a given time period. We all know that its already going into sudden death.. everyone of these match types does.. They will probably have a 20minute sudden death.

I hope they have to keep going into 5 minuter overtime periods

When Mike Ditka calculates pi it's decimal representation ends.

Yeah opening segment was pitch perfect. Storm is really bringing it and Roode is transitioning very well into his heel character. Beating Styles on top of Dixie was just great heel work.
