...another one bites the dust.

well that kinda sucks. TNA is just running rampant with backstage politics.

wait for it. what was that again? Just so there is no confusion it's not booked in past tense...but books..in the present tense. So you DID say it. Those are all guys who could step in to a main event. If built up properly you could add Raven, Daniels, and Hardy to that list. What i'm saying here is that TNA has no long term plan. Abyss maybe. But besides him who can you see taking on Styles for the belt? Maybe Brown, Maybe Jarrett again. But that is lame. Dusty booked this for Styles to go over, and that is it. TNA's wad is blown. If they wait 1 fuckin month. Jarrett drops the belt to a newly turned face Monty Brown. They have the obvious rematch and Brown goes over again. Ending this fued. Then they have any number of heels that could take on brown. Abyss, Raven, Daniels, Rhyno...etc. And they could have Jarrett feud with Styles. Monty drops the title to a heel...Raven? Daniels? and Styles wins it from them. All that would take 6-8 months at least. Now thats long term planning. But no...they've already blown the AJ win back, so WTF are they gonna do now? And just for shits and giggles... DDP and Nash - yes they were brought in to job. DDP can still go, so he can help get other talent over. Nash is injured btw, but he sucks anyways, he serves no purpose except name recognition. Styles - The current Champ, obviously a credible ME. Killings - Yes he has been booked horribly, but he almost beat abyss for the #1 contender. So obviously they still see him as uppermid-ME level. Abyss - he has been getting screwed - but he's won 2 #1 contenderships, and just ME the lockdown PPV with Styles. Monty - The heel turn was a good idea. How else are you going to keep Monty away from Jarrett for 4 months while they are slowly building up Slammaversary? Monty turns..tells Jarrett "you owe me one" meaning a title shot. Then monty win Gaunlet for #1 contender. Jarrett on impact says he's not working the next PPV cuz Monty is gonna lay down for him...Monty pounces Jarrett. and all he has to say is Jarrett didn't follow through with his promise ofthe title shot, so monty is just gonna take it. "Keep you friends close and your enemies closer" type thing. etc... etc... etc.... Again Jarrett booking things for the long term. But Dusty for whatever reason, just wanted to give the belt to Styles again. Randomly. Now TNA has no direction. And you wonder why i blame Dusty?

I agree, they were building up that the 6 sided ring was gonna allow the wrestlers more room than a 4 sided ring. But the 6 sided rings they have are tiny as fuck.

Ok....first line...listen to the crowd. Second line..don't listen to the crowd. Way to contradict yourself. Again, get your facts right. Dusty booked this title switch! He quit but they stayed with HIS plan. If jarrett was in control, he would have held off for Monty. REACH!!!! And what a coincidence, your name is "desperate" housewife. Everything you've typed is babble. You can post your pictures and be funny, but when it comes to having an understand of what is going on with TNA, your just as lost as their booking committee. Styles, Abyss, Brown, Nash, DDP, Killings. If you wanna get technical. The Jarrett's own TNA...but the money comes from Panda. So they have to please Panda or the plug gets pulled. So really Panda are the real owners. And every wrestling news site on the web has already said. JARRETT IS NOT BOOKING!

are they sure Outlaw clotheslined JAMES. that doesn't make sense to me. I hope AJ doesn't start using the spiral tap as his finish. Thanks 4 postin that.

Who reads the Torch? SMARKS! If you want to draw any fans besides Smarks, you have to have someone that is known on top of the company. Like it or not, Jarrett was TNA's biggest name, and argueably still is. (DDP, Nash are others) Of course TNA has built up nobody to challange Styles...cuz Dusty is an idiot and so are the rest of the booking committee. Thats what happens when you think you gotta rush a title change. If they would have held off for Brown, they would have had time to build up other guys, but now they have no direction. And people say that Jarrett wanting to drop it to Brown was Jarrett's excuse to hold on to the title for another month or two. Please, that is such a reach. But then again so is most of the anti-jarrett babble. Next thing you know it's gonna be Jarrett's fault that Apollo can't get over.

I tried to declare for the draft when i was a junior in high school. NBA sent me a letter saying that i had to be outta high school. It looked like a pretty standardized letter, so i bet a lot of people have done this, just not gotten this far.

Great post! I agree that Jarrett is not a household name...but he's the most well known main eventer they had at the time.

Although i don't agree with the "dropping the belt, just i can win it back" attitude. It's a smart decision to debut on TV with your most well known guy as champion. And Jarrett didn't get Dusty fired, Dusty quit, not because of Jarrett, cuz he was booking and didn't want a committee. Like Jacques said. Try to know what your talking about before spouting off next time.

I'm sure AJ would like to go from Main Eventing PPV's to opening Velocity every Saturday Night. And if Jarrett had total control he'd still be champ right now.

AJ would have a job...but he would hate it...and he would be nothing more than a cruiser...he would also probably have to do some crazy gimmick. WWE is not the place to be if your small. Jarrett doesn't even have control! That is obvious with what happened at the PPV.

Where else are they gonna find work? I'm sure they can still honor indy dates, and probably book new ones. Seriously WWE wouldn't take Daniels and AJ would just be exactly what Paul London is.

Yes this is Abyss' second title shot that he won, and won't get. TNA never made much sense, but now they are just lost. The Main Event although it's totally random, sounds ok, i bet Styles retains. Setting up Abyss vs Styles, Monty vs Jarrett feuds.

Matt- This show was shit live. The crowd seemed pretty hyped, popped major for Batista. A few chants of boring i noticed during the Vis segment and during the Kane vs Edge edge match. Also a chant of "She's a crackwhore" directed at Lita, not sure if that came off on camera. To give you an idea of how stupid the fucks where who sat behind me, he's a direct quote from the Randy segment. Fags: "RANDY...RANDY....RANDY...RANDY....RANDY!!!" Randy: "Shut Up I got something to say!" Fags: "I'll Fuckin Kill You...You Suck...BOOOOOO!" nl5xsk1- I don't know who the guy was, I went and got food during this match. He was announced from Lincoln, Ne. I used to ref/wrestle with the only indy promotion(now dead) in this area and i've never seen him, so it was a gimmick hometown probably. edit: WWE was giving away tickets, my friend who doesn't even like wrestling got 4 free tickets just for being in the mall. They had alot of the upper deck tarped off. I was gonna try to ahold of Lushus to give him a couple but my friend, thought he was gonna go then changed his mind at the last second. Sorry dude. Also I'm pretty sure i didn't get on camera...i was hoping to get my Vikings Lesnar jersey on camera though.

Here is a few still around. Dead Prez, Paris, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Non Phixon.

I even heard some little kid tell his dad who was sitting behind me, that Lita was gonna go with Edge and screw Kane. Even the marks knew about the turn. Thats why nobody cared. Then the douche bags behind me kept saying that Matt Hardy is still signed and he's gonna come get Edge. Then to top it all off, one of the guys gets on the phone and tells someone to tape RAW and tape Smackdown on Thursday cuz WWE just taped Smackdown before RAW. I just looked at him and shook my head.

This pisses me off. Why doesn't TNA snatch him up? Maybe he has turned them down already.

Which American title is the most important in your opinion? What title did you always consider the top title in the business? When WCW and ECW were around 1. WWF World Heavyweight Championship 2. WCW World Heavyweight Championship 3. WCW United States Championship (this title dropped a lot around '99) 4. WWF Intercontinental Championship 5. ECW World Heavyweight Championship Current 1. World Heavyweight Championship 2. WWE Championship 3. Intercontinental Championship 4. NWA World Heavyweight Championship 5. United States Championship Honorable Mentions: ROH World Heavyweight Championship, TNA X Division Championship

Oh, well that's respectable and i suppose your implying i think thats better than smoking weed. I never said that.

I have nothing against Styles. And i think he should be champion. Just not now. The reasons why i feel that way are in the Dusty's Gone thread. and a bunch of others too. I'm not comparing Styles to Jarrett either. I think Jarrett should have dropped the belt, but not at this PPV. TNA just JBLedx10 Jarrett's title reign.

After viewing your pictures, your condemnation of Slug smoking weed befuddles me even further. Read the thread again........"above".......implying thats not what i think. But what i thought was he would think he's above it....just a vibe i guess. I wasn't saying smoking weed is horrible and i hate weed smokers. I have friends that do it, it doesn't bother me. i don't smoke weed, i used to, but didn't like it. i just smoke newports and black & milds constantly.

oh i see. That tag match is just building up BG and the Outlaw angle even more. Very nice. FUCK at the gauntlet winner. That means something horrible will happen in the main event tonight. Yep main event was gay. Styles wins. TNA is retarded.

It would make the last year of Jarrett having the title a waste. AJ would be a good champion, but i think it's not the right time for this. If they consider this a feud. It's just as poorly booked as bossman vs big show. If they hold off just one more month for Monty....there would at least be a build and a well known history between the 2. They aren't even playing up the fact AJ beat JJ once already for the title. They aren't playing up their history and there hasn't been any interaction between them. It would just be horribly random for AJ to win tonight. Now if they waited another month and put it AJ it would be ok, cuz at least that would allow time for them to build up this match to have some pay-off. Not as much of one as putting the title on Brown would have though.

why the spoiler tags? Traci? thats weird.
