TNA Slammiversary **SPOILER** (As if anyone cares)

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

So at the last TNA iMPACT Tapings Sting defeated Matt Morgan in a #1 Contender for TNA World Heavyweight Title Match at Slammiversary.

How many times is TNA gonna let Sting main event their PPVs? Let somebody different get a shot for once please.

are also on sale for all your TNA fan needs(if there is any here)

Dixie seems to think so, but I have yet to tell her the cold hard truth of it

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It has no knees. Pretty accurate since she has been sucking Hogan's dick for 4 years.

[Heisenberg]

She also gives him cookies and contracts, Hogan loves cookies and contracts

Come on dude. She might not be the brightest, but she's elegant and classy. There's no need for that type of trash talk on these boards dude.

I also don't really get why he defeated Matt Morgan (granted I only watch the PPV's (illegally.)) What has Morgan done lately to be put in this position?

[Skippord]

Sting should always be World Champion of every company. He is the best.

[Rammsteinmad]

In all fairness, better Sting than Jeff Hardy.

I am totally getting this and making her 69 my Vickie Gurrerro figure DON'T JUDGE ME.

[Heisenberg]

Her control over wrestling is increasing, she is a smart demon in disguise. She haunts my dreams

[Razzamajazz]

was at walmart today and saw 3 behemoths waddling around with identical aces and eights shirts.

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

Gotta be honest I'm just not very excited about watching Bubba Ray Dudley defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Sting headline one of their 4 PPVs of the year.

[#1-norm-fan]

So apparently that will make the 4th straight year that Sting is in the World Title match at Slammiversary.

He is 0-3

So I guess he's putting guys over at least. (Not that the rub lasts because... well... lolTNA.)

[Curd]

Jakks lovingly recreated Dixie's upper am flab! :yes:

[Purgatory]

Does she come with kneepads? I mean, it doesn't make sense not to include them.

[Heisenberg]

Maybe Dixie will bring back this guy

Had an undefeated streak and got beat by Storm and BAM! no more cookies and contracts for Crimson

[Purgatory]

Nope, I think he's in OVW now.

Not to mention him main eventing their even bigger show (Bound For Glory) from 2006-2009.

And you can't say he's putting guys over at that show, he only lost to AJ Styles in 2009.

[Heisenberg]

OVW is the farm-territory of TNA I believe.

[Purgatory]

that's what I figured they were doing now.

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

I really hope Bully Ray isn't still champ by Slammiversary. But I guess it's inevitable with the Aces and 8s going on and him being the leader.

[XL]

Yeah, it's Sting's "fault" that Bully is champ/As&8s are "running riot", so he personally has to make good.

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

I'm guessing Sting will lose and we'll get Ray vs. Hulk at BFG.

[Wolfpack423]

I don't see what the big deal is. It's a big match for Slammiversary, and Bully Ray will look like an even more credible champion by beating a veteran. I am in the minority that has liked TNA better than WWE for the last two years. I like Dixie Carter. I am looking forward to Slammiversary just as I have for each TNA PPV for the last couple of years. People act like there's no such thing as a good match in TNA. There have been several MOTY candidates. THey actually focus on their women's division, have been re-building the X-Division with former stars and newer stars, and I really like their main event scene. You might not, but that's what I think.

[Wolfpack423]

It's going to be AJ Styles vs. Bully Ray at Bound for Glory for the TNA Title. Styles cannot get a title shot until then. They will work towards that. Styles is going to have an Uncensored 1997 moment at Slammiversary where he just beats up all of Aces and Eights.

[Wolfpack423]

Not to mention him main eventing their even bigger show (Bound For Glory) from 2006-2009.

And you can't say he's putting guys over at that show, he only lost to AJ Styles in 2009.

Yeah but that's the guy that should have been put over in the BFG main event, and he was. Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett were established, and Sting dropped the title to Abyss not even a month later, and lost it to Angle two weeks later. Though Samoa Joe lost, that match was really good, and Sting still put over Joe without him winning. He didn't beat him cleanly. They were forming the Main Event Mafia a week later, and they should have had the title for the storyline. MEM when it was Sting, Angle, Nash, Booke T, and Steiner was a great faction.

[Wolfpack423]

Everybody is so busy trying to nitpick TNA that they don't seem to realize WWE has far more problems at this point. I don't know what happened to that product.

[Volare]

Yeah, but the problems are more "derp" based than anything.

[erickman]

i wish they had abyss james park going against bully ray, they always work well togather.

[Majunior]

Nah, I agree with you for the most part.

My issue with TNA is their generally poor booking. Most everything that happens outside of the squared circle is goofy and tends to not make sense. (Aces and 8s has been a consistent improvement in that, but they're drawing heavily from a medoicre TV show for inspiration.) Booking is getting better, slowly, but it's still not where it needs to be.

The matches themselves are oft-times amazing, including the Knockouts (depending on who is wrestling of course) but that is where the vast majority of the quality TNA brings to the table starts and stops.

[James Steele]

TNA has very little to make me emotionally invested in the product to watch on a regular basis and pay to see their pay-per-views. They are better, but it is still average. I also can't stand the fact that Hulk Hogan is at the center of every major storyline.

[Tom Guycott]

Maybe Dixie will bring back this guy

Yeah... right after they bring back Amazing Red, who was supposed to be this guy's brother and how he got the dumbass name of Crimson to begin with.

Speaking of "bring back", remember how over the likes of MCMG, Jay Lethal, and the muthafuckin Pope were? Yeah, if TNA let the guys I just mentioned fall off the earth, I don't see this guy being more than a footnote.

[Heisenberg]

Jay Lethal was the shit with the Macho Man gimmick and I guess his other stuff. Does anyone watch ROH to update on his activity?

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

He kept trying to challenge for the ROH World title in September-October but Jim Cornette wouldn't allow it until Jay showed a "mean streak." So now Jay shows heel tendancies. He faced Kevin Steen for the title in October, it ended in a no contest because Steen spit on Jay's mom in the crowd and Jay went apeshit. After the match Cornette tried to calm Jay down but Jay attacked him and kayfabe sent Jim out of the company. Since then Jay hasn't done much of note, he had another shot at the ROH World title and lost at the 11th anniversary show.

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

So now the match is a No Holds Barred match and if Sting loses he doesn't get another shot at the Title again. Which means Sting's probably gonna win :/

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nobody cares except you for making a thread about it.

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

It got more responses than any of your shitty theme tournament threads.

[MIZantine Empire]

I will give tna this much... I dig that in ring cam. Although the ref looks like a minion from despicable me, and often times it shows the empty half of the arena (reminds me of how wcw would bunch everyone together on one side to look sold out)

[OldSchoolFan]

(reminds me of how wcw would bunch everyone together on one side to look sold out)

Like WWE currently does a lot?

[MIZantine Empire]

Ya, basically.. I just always kinda chuckled when they would show an empty half of the arena and kinda cut away real fast..

[German Suplex]

Really hope the Stinger wins, been a Sting fan my whole life and I always will be

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

I disagree with german suplex but don't think that's worth banning him over.

[MIZantine Empire]

When I was 12 I went and saw sting main event for the first time in person. I bought a sting mask an it broke on the way home.. Disliked him ever since

[Rasslin' Fan 29]

That's hardly the Stinger's fault though.

[MIZantine Empire]

He is guilty by association! (Linkin park now stuck in my head) of course I'm jk, I love the stinger. He is a lil looney now, but still love him

[James Steele]

Quite a bit of difference between the IMPACT ZONE or a 5,000 seat arena being half empty and a 20,000 seat being tarped off in the nosebleeds.

[BigCrippyZ]

These are nosebleeds? I think I see the problem then. Their prices are way too high for nosebleed seats.

[James Steele]

They clearly don't want people's viewed obstructed by the crane camera and the equipment/workers that work on that side of the arena.

[James Steele]

There are people in the Skyboxes though. Also, what town is that from? It must be quite old since it has the old NXT tapings set.

[#1-norm-fan]

They're from around the time Daniel Bryan won the WHC. I remember the pictures circling the net along with these ones...

Also, according to some of the reports, the arena was half full and they taped off the camera side for Smackdown last week.

[#1-norm-fan]

That's gotta fuck with the atmosphere being in an arena with one side completely empty which would just make more people not wanna go back.
