Eric Young is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and while Id like to think that its just TNAs way of saying thanks for ten years of loyal service on EYs part, the timing cannot be denied. A small skinny bearded wrestler wins the championship from the bosses handpicked champion? Cant imagine where Ive seen that before! At least Daniel Bryan was involved in a lengthy title chase beforehand. Bryans victory at WrestleMania was the culmination of an angle spanning many months and was helped by the demand of the vocal fans and a reshuffle of ideas after CM Punk quit back in January. Young had no such build up. He won a gauntlet match on the April 10 Impact and challenged for the title that same night. What a waste of Magnus, who really hadnt grown into the role of champion yet. And the champion isnt the only familiar character in this story.
As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG.
I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
