The Official TNA Discussion Thread

[Jaysin]

So, three big matches advertises for the live Impact tomorrow.

Austin Aries vs Zema Ion vs Chris Sabin Ultimate X for the X Division title
Mr Anderson vs Bobby Roode for the World Title
12 Man Bound For Glory Series Gauntlet Battle Royal

The first two have potential to be pretty good matches. I hope the BFG series is less convoluted this year because I like the concept, just didn't like their execution of it.

[Hyde Hill]

Check out their website or some of the news sites. They have made it a straight round robin so barring injuries etc is everyone has same number of matches and faces each other once. With a point system covering the type of win/draw.

And yeah Impact is looking good. Hope the good press from the Slam increases viewership a bit.

[Jaysin]

Apparently it's not a straight round robin tournament...

But, let the speculation begin

[Astil]

Somewhere, backstage, Samoa Joe was in the fetal position, rocking back and forth going "Not again..."

Lol, hell maybe they will explain it now sometime. Its probably one of the biggest loopholes left over from that time. Anyhoo Jarrett vs Sting called it lol. Love the worked shoot stuff they have going on.

Not pure round robin as the start wasn't one but everyone, barring injuries, will have the same number of matches and faced each other once.

I am probably in the very small minority but I am glad to see Jeff Jarrett coming back and I hope that it is him behind the attacks. I have always been a fan of Jeff's going back to his days in Memphis and I think people tend to crap on him for no reason.

Is he the best wrestler out there?

No but he is pretty good and he has always kept me entertained.

Let us just hope that this feud does not go into Black Scorpion territory.

[BHK1978]

Well I just read that Chris Sabin tore his ACL. This guy cannot seem to catch a break.

I think most people would agree that Jarrett is a good worker and if he had been an upper midcard, occasional main event level worker most of his career people probably would have no problem with him. I like you have considered myself a fan. I loved his work in the WWF in the later part of the 90s. The man was a heat magnet during his stuff with X-Pac and then the woman beater angle lol. I even liked him in WCW. He just isn't a guy who should be a 10 time world champion and he certainly should never be a guy who a company is built around.

Loophole? I thought he was stolen by Samoan ninjas who trained him in the way of the Nation of Violence. No loophole there.

EDIT: Too much to hope this is a Joey Ryan led rebellion?

[Hyde Hill]

Wrong choice of words plothole is what I meant. Nation of Violence was pre abduction and actually toned down to just his intro post abduction. The whole abduction was to get him away from that inc on his face knife wielding gimmick. Now it probably just refers to Samoa in his intro. Who or why etc abducted him was never explained.

I think we might get a Joey Ryan led anti TNA faction with the goal of bringing back Impact fans lost during the 2009-2011 period. But that it is a separate storyline I think. Could be the same though or a shoot, hell its fun either way but still thinking work.

Another thought I had was Daniels already starting a new storyline for when the AJ one plays out. It would fit with the current persona he is portraying. Avenging Angel Sting vs Fallen Angel Daniels could be a good program if played right.

[Jack Hood]

All 3 seemed a little bit taller than Sting who is like 6'1-6'3, so its pretty big dudes. That leaves out Ryan, Morrison, and most of the AAA promotion whom Jarrett is down with, and with TNA use of social media today to promote storylines and work angles - I imagine he is behind it. If I had to guess it would be Cliff Compton, DH Smith, & Jay Bradley.

[Hyde Hill]

Yeah but as we don't know where they are going with it its just fun speculation, they might never be revealed and just referred to as hired goons kinda like muhamed hassan's pals who did that job on taker that caused such a storm. They could just be some 3D students and or OVW talent, like with the other Abyss at the Slam.

Jimmy Reiher Jr.(right), Chris Masters(left), John Hennigan(middle)

YOU WANTED A WAR! YOU GOTTA WAR!

[Jaysin]

I could see the one on the left being Masters, but Deuce and Morrison are tan and not one of these guys is tan.

[Astil]

If it's some old WWE midcarders Ill be very upse-

dissapointe-

Okay, I'll just sigh and go "figures"
