View Full Version : Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...*Impact! SPOILERS*

So the TNA Impact tapings were today, and the reveal of "They" happened...
During the match(Jeff hardy vs Mr. Anderson), a ref is bumped and Immortal hits the ring and starts beating down Anderson, but then The Fortune members stop and attack Hardy and the rest of Immortal. So, "They" are AJ Styles, Kazarian and Beer Money. Matt Hardy, Rob Terry, Jeff Hardy, Gunner and Murphy look on in shock. Styles starts cutting a promo but Bischoff comes out and calls Hardy an ungrateful son of a b**ch. Styles says that Bischoff ran another company into the ground but they aren't letting Bischoff do it to TNA. There's a mention that a ruling will be made in March over the power struggle between Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter as well. So, it's Fortune vs. Immortal.
So...Fourtune teams with Bischoff and Hogan only to eventually turn on Bischoff (and in turn Hogan but apparently he wasn't there tonight...)
What? Maybe there's more to it but I think TNA may have sealed their fate now...

AJ and Kaz should be faces anyway. Luckily I had low expectations so this reveal doesn't really bother me. In fact I think it could be ok.

Ah, the old "We're going to take everything you gave us and use it against you" routine.
Fortune never should have been in Immortal anyway.

Why is Bischoff calling Hardy an ungrateful son of a bitch?

Either it was a fault/typo of whoever wrote the original spoilers or Bischoff screwed up.

That's a pretty good swerve. Now that Ric Flair's out of the picture, AJ, Frankie, James, and Robert can really shine on their own as they had in the past.

This is what happens when you book an entire angle (your main angle) around a bunch of guys who aren't even under contract. Fucking idiots. Not even that, but this is the BEST they could come with to remedy their stupidity!??

You know I've really tried to give TNA a chance but this shit is fucking crazy. Hell, just last week Crimson choked out A.J. Styles and told him that "They" were coming. I guess that was Russo's way to swerve the "smarks"....fucking unbelievable !
And next week, Fortune rapes Immortal and then reveals that it was the Main Event Mafia who slipped them the rufie.
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!

You mean that you saw that "They" would actually be Fortune ....or that TNA would screw up the angle ?

Fortune never should have been in Immortal anyway.
But better late than never. AJ Styles is a far better face anyway. I hope Beer Money are also faces so that they can feud with a heel London Brawling.

A.J. as face = win. I like the idea. The originals should be with Dixie anyway.Flair is gone so it kills two problems at once. Hardys vs Beer Money coming up for sure.
What's this talk of Flair beign gone? Is this to do with him "no showing" the Berlin trip?
God I hope he's gone for good!

That's one of the reasons why I think this is so weird and convoluted.

I mean it makes since those guys would be defending Dixie, but the road to get there is freakin retarded. Im talking TNA like it should be easy to understand though, so my bad.

Flair hurt his shoulder but apparently will be part of the tv taping tonight. I guess it was a swerve because Angle knocked A.J. on his ass a few weeks ago in the back during a segment too. TNA doesn't market shit right at all when it comes to these things,or this is them trying to clean up The Mafia mess and it's all WWE's fault.
So he's coming back? :nono:

yep they are better faces anyway, an the way beermoney interacts with the crowd it is hard for them to get booed and they need to keep up there shirt sales. vince and nash did tna a favor no mem reunion and the new horsemen are faces again.

Abyss beat the shit out of Jeff Hardy weeks prior to the first 'They' as well.

The way they got here is convoluted indeed, but at least they got to the right point, eventually. Fortune should have never been aligned with Immortal, and always should have been defending "their" company. AJ Styles and Beer Money have the potential to be top merchandise sellers for the company, as well (and hell, probably already are).

Yeah, but the mind set seems to be that anytime WWE releases someone, TNA has to get them or ratings will drop. Regardless if their home grown talent is held down by it or not.

Or Angle for that matter! Nothing about this looks like they put any thought into this whatsoever. The whole thing just screams damage control due to them not retaining Booker T or Kevin Nash.

And furthermore, where the hell does Matt Morgan come into play in all of this? Wasn't he once a part of fortune and was kicked out like 2 weeks into this whole Immortotal deal? If this was some sort of grand scheme, does that now place him back with Fortune?
I thought WWE expected it's fans to have a short memory, but TNA seems to think that it's fans forget what happened just about a month ago.

they can make morgan the mastermind they can say he talked aj and kaz to turn on bischoff. stiener and crimson can be free agents like apa was.

Knowing TNA, Morgan will probably have a few words with AJ Styles about it. Basically, I expect Morgan to be pissed, and Styles to be all "whatever, man."
TNA just needs to release Scott Steiner and have Crimson join Fortune, I guess.

after watching it, it looked better then the spoiler said. even though anderson is the champ it showed aj is the face of the company. i kind of marked out when they turned on the hardys and then went off on bischoff an hogan for bringing in all those old guys.
