cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 This is a pretty long notice though. I can see doing a couple of jobs on TV and then leaving, but he's been jobbing out for about 2 months. I don't know what the hell is going on with this Nash/Joe stuff. Didn't Nash just walk out on him during a PPV match? How is Nash now in position to calm him down?

Jingus 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 My original point still stands. Her entire appearance on the PPV was a brief cameo in a dumbass backstage skit, and then on the next Impact she's still not in a match, and then finally two weeks later she beats one of the amateur pornstars. This despite having won the #1 Contender's Gauntlet thingie at the last TV before the PPV. Not exactly striking while the iron's hot. Come to think of it, have any of the Gauntlet winners gotten their title shots? When's that gonna happen? Hell, when are the guys who won the briefcases gonna get THEIR title shots?! God this company's booking is fucking terrible. - VKM comes out and Kip wants to know who BG's partner is. BG reveals it to be his father, Bullet Bob Armstrong. They all embrace and leave together. You shoulda bolded that too. I guess that TNA needed to scoop the WWE's elderly heat with having a guy who's even older than Ric Flair wrestling on their show.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 So will BG James and Bullet Bob be a tag team in TNA that actually gets along, or are they going to end up getting R:TPTDGA-ified, especially since no one ever expects family members to turn on each other in wrestling?

Not to mention approximately 100x less over than Flair. I mean does anybody north of the Mason Dixon line give two shits about Bob Armstrong?

luke-o 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Hell, when are the guys who won the briefcases gonna get THEIR title shots?! God this company's booking is fucking terrible. Although it was never explained, which is poor on their part I agree, the breifcases work in the same way as MiTB, as in they can cash in their cases when they want their title shot.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Should they really be doing rankings and #1 contender stuff when they already kinda have that with the MITB briefcase guys? I would think they should do that after those various guys cash in. I have the terrible feeling that the Armstrongs angle is going to lead to Billy Gunn turning on Road Dog and we'll that as a feud.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 First of all, ODB is a horrible wrestler with a horrible gimmick (opinion based solely off her TNA work). Second, I thought Abyss' big secret was that he was inprison for shooting his dad, who was hospitalized. What the fuck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, I thought Abyss' big secret was that he was inprison for shooting his dad, who was hospitalized. What the fuck? I guess his father found out his mother cheated on him with James and shot her and then Abyss shot him...or is Abyss mom still alive? I am so confused by that storyline that I no longer care, and I like everyone involved in the storyline! Also, Christian ALREADY pins AJ? Wow, couldn't let something interesting build to a boil huh TNA. Dammit, I love the wrestling but the angles are pissing me off so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 The one argument I have against Abyss always being a ruthless monster is that a ruthless monster can only go so far. Cause eventually the monster heel will end up jobbing to the main babyface and then there's nothing you can do with him (see Umaga in WWE). Turning Abyss face or adding things to his character will prolong his career in TNA....though I'm not sure if this particular storyline is the way to go, haha.

Turning Abyss face or adding things to his character will prolong his career in TNA....though I'm not sure if this particular storyline is the way to go, haha. I see what you mean, and to an extent agree. I think it would have been entirely possible to turn Abyss face without this stupid backstory, though. Have him lose whatever big match, whether it be to Sting, Christian, Joe, whatever. Mitchell berates him, brings in a new monster to replace Abyss. Mitchell's new guy(s) repeatedly blindsides Abyss, thus giving him fan sympathy. Then he can feud with the new monster heel. He can still be the same character, but because of the revenge factor has crowd support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2008 Hardly ever post here any more, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the main event. Christian and AJ Styles had great chemistry and did quite a bit despite not having all that much time. The fact that the main event ended in a clean pinfall off of a logical progression of moves in the ring was nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
