TWO 6 Sides of Steel Matches at TNA

[Guest Deadbolt]

AJ Styles, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Diamond Dallas Page, and The Outlaw will be featured on the TNA Lockdown PPV poster. The PPV is scheduled to have two Six Sides of Steel matches

TNA are throwing everything into their Pay-Per-Views and that’s the right move. They need to pull out all the stops and make each event as big as possible, unlike WWE who can throw anything together and still expect a nice profit at the end.

 

I would expect the matches to possible be DDP vs. Jeff Jarrett in a rematch for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and Alpha Male Monty Brown vs. Trytan in the finale of their feud. I can also see a very good TNA X Division Championship Match between Christopher Daniels (As Champion) vs. Ron “The Truth” Killings, and maybe AJ Styles vs. Kid Kash.

 

I would personally throw the Jeff Hardy/Abyss feud into the mainevent Championship match and make it a 4-Way Dance for the gold, but either way I see the makings for another great PPV from TNA.

But wont this be an overload of the Six Sides of Steel gimmick?

to us Smarks it will be.. but if they book it right.. there could be **** matches on one card.. the fans in attendance will be thrilled and excited.. and it's probably a move to get it out there hopefully...

 

I'm not for 2 of the same matches unless is tied into the same overall idea (like some kind of world, tag or x title thing.. which involves both cages in the same challenge) if thats understandable.

 

However, If its too blow off to seperate feuds then im not really for it. But what can you do, hopefully both matches will be off the hook and help TNA get out there.

The problem with having two Six Sides...matches on one PPV, is that the second will have to follow the first, and if it isn't as good as the first, or better, it'll be seen as a disappointment. Not only that, if the second one is really bad, it'll somewhat tarnish the first one, which won't stand out as much as it could have if it had been the only Six Sides match on the card. It's one thing to overload a card with gimmick matches, but it's stupid to have more than one use of a gimmick match on a card, because it dilutes the impact of them both.

[Guest WordLife]

I just hope one of them is Chris Daniels vs AJ Styles. I just wish TNA would give us another King of The Mountain match. Maybe at the 3rd Anniversary they could have this card....

 

Ultimate X

AJ Styles vs Chris Daniels vs Petey Williams

 

Six Sides of Steel

America's Most Wanted vs Team Canada(or maybe *gulp* Outlaws)

 

King of the Mountain Match

Jeff Jarrett vs Abyss vs Jeff Hardy vs DDP vs Ron Killings vs Kevin Nash

 

What does everybody think of that idea?

I see where you are coming from, but I would actually take this as a positive. Let’s says Alpha Male/Trytan pull of a great match; that means the pressure is on Jeff Jarrett/DDP to top it. WWE have a great match at the beginning of their Pay-Per-Views to set the benchmark for the rest of show. Whatever your thoughts on Jeff Jarrett are, you have to realise that this man is a near 2-decade veteran. DDP is no stranger to pressure as well. In big match situations DDP would always pull it off, and Jarrett, like him or not, can work. That’s of course presuming that those are the matches, but even not, the same still applies. Like them or not, you can't deny Tna are filled with extremely talented Professional Wrestlers who can more than handle the pressure of follow a great match; men like Sabin, Styles, Alpha Male, DDP and Christopher Daniels thrive on it.

Let’s says Alpha Male/Trytan pull of a great match;

Never will happen. Trytan is fucking terrible in the ring, and Brown still has a good way's to come (though I will admit that he's far better than he was even six months ago).

WWE have a great match at the beginning of their Pay-Per-Views to set the benchmark for the rest of show. Whatever your thoughts on Jeff Jarrett are, you have to realise that this man is a near 2-decade veteran.

...and? Jim Duggan's been wrestling for longer, and he's always been terrible. One's career length has little to do with their talent.

DDP is no stranger to pressure as well. In big match situations DDP would always pull it off, and Jarrett, like him or not, can work.

I'm not disagreeing with DDP's ability to pull off good work even while not under pressure, but to say Jarrett can work is, to me, a bit of an overstatement. Seeing as how I pretty much begat the Jarrett hate here (or was at least one of the first few to really stand by the "Fuck Jeff Jarrett" phrase), my reasons for disliking him are simple: he can't work a match outside of what he's used to. He needs to be carried in most of his matches, and his best matches have been overbooked to all hell. He's never given me much of a reason to care for him in the ring, be he a face or a heel, and hasn't had a match worth watching since King of the Mountain last year.

Like them or not, you can't deny Tna are filled with extremely talented Professional Wrestlers who can more than handle the pressure of follow a great match; men like Sabin, Styles, Alpha Male, DDP and Christopher Daniels thrive on it.

And how many of those people that can put on good/great matches are actually at the position on the card that they should be? Sabin should be a CONSTANT contender to the X-Division title (and a heel, but that's neither here nor there), Styles should be in the main event, Brown is over enough with TNA fans to be in the main event, DDP is pretty much the only old-timer leftover from WCW that can still work a decent match (this is a long-winded, mean way of saying "sure, keep him there," FYI), and Daniels should be in the main event as well (simply because of his ability to work ANY style of match with ANY opponent).

No matter what people might say, I still blame it on the constant thinking of Cruiserweights = Zero Ratings. Sabin is a very good X Division worker. He relys mainly on many, many spots to get over but doesn't wrestle a very good wrestling match. Styles is probably the biggest draw out of WWE today, including Heavyweights in North America but excluding Japan. DDP isn't very memorable anymore besides a Nirvana entrance theme rip off and Daniels has the skills to be a main eventer but just doesn't look the part.

 

If TNA would actually demolish the whole X Division thing, bring all the wrestlers into the main event scene, sign some of them on big money contracts (Punk, Joe, Shelley, Strong, Evans) and weed out all the Heavyweights with no futures (Nash, Gunn, Dustin Rhodes, Jarrett) and start having feuds like A.J Styles Vs Christopher Daniels for the NWA title, the main event scene would be looking much better. They could actually start copying ROH's formula (Like WWE did ECW) and make these small guys actually look bigger as performers, they could well blow whatever WWE has out of the water and start making some money.

 

Never will happen. Trytan is terrible in the ring, and Brown still has a good way's to come (though I will admit that he's far better than he was even six months ago).

 

Don’t be so negative, you never know, you might enjoy the show if you let the workers entertain you. It wouldn’t be first time a match has went above and beyond expectations; Warrior/Hogan @ Mania?

 

...and? Jim Duggan's been wrestling for longer, and he's always been terrible. One's career length has little to do with their talent.

 

If you read the rest you would have seen I was referring to the pressure of following a big match on a big event. Frankly, Jeff Jarrett has the talent to pull off a good match, but that’s not the subject matter.

 

I'm not disagreeing with DDP's ability to pull off good work even while not under pressure, but to say Jarrett can work is, to me, a bit of an overstatement.

.

 

Yes his gimmick is boring, but Jeff Jarrett is good Professional Wrestler and has been over more times than a lot of workers could dream of. TNA need to put to him back to old “Slap Nuts” Gimmick and stop pushing him as “The Triple H of TNA”. He’s much better as the annoying underdog and can cut a great promo with the gimmick.
