The following contains a spoiler regarding Thursday's TNA Impact Wrestling television show.

New TNA Champion James Storm issued his first public comments since he captured the title. "One hell of a belt buckle I won tonight," Storm wrote on Tuesday. "Thanks to all the fans, family, and friends.

"This is for my dad in heaven I used to watch wrestling with 20 years ago. Love you all. Impact Wrestling Champion of the World. I've busted my ass for the last 15 years entertaining you fans. My time has come. Thank you, God." Follow Storm on Twitter at Twitter.com/Cowboy_J_Storm.

Powell's POV: It's amazing to think that many of us (myself included) were of the opinion that Storm's former tag partner Chris Harris was going to have the better singles career when Harris signed with WWE. Storm has proven a lot of people wrong and it's great to see one of the true TNA originals get this opportunity.
