TNA is stupid, thread #23

[Savio]

SPOILERS BELOW










* Rob Van Dam beat Sting in the main event, a non-title match. Mr. Anderson was the special referee and ended up hitting Sting with a Mic Check, allowing RVD to get the win. Anderson laid RVD out with the World Title belt before Immortal came out and celebrated with him. Hogan came out and shook hands with Anderson to end the show.Anderson joined immortal now? How many times do people need to turn in TNA? bi-weekly?

other spoilers:

* Hernandez and his new partner beat Tommy Dreamer and Brother Devon. Matt Morgan made the save after the match.

* Samoa Joe beat Gunner by submission.

* Rosita and Sarita defended the tag titles against Velvet Sky and Angelina Love. They're doing the deal where Angelina is spaced out from Winter's powers. Angelina turned on Velvet during the match, causing the loss for their team.

* Brother Ray beat Daniels in a Lumberjack Match. Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan both interfered on Ray's behalf and there was a big brawl at ringside.

* A steel cage was put up and Jeff Jarrett cut a promo on Kurt Angle. Angle's music hit and he entered the arena with a zipline, similar to Suicide. Jeff ended up escaping the cage and Angle's wrath.

[Ruien]

Does not sound bad really. They needed someone to fill Jeff Hardy's spot and Anderson for the nudge.

[Dorkchop]

Russo likes turning guys heel.

TNA is stupid thread #23? Like the 23rd thread today about TNA being stupid or your 23rd TNA is stupid thread.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did TNA finally get around to figuring out who the next #1 contender is yet?

I thought Mr Anderson was slowly turning into a heel or at least that is how he's appeared last few weeks and during their last ppv.

[Lock Jaw]

Daniels? Christopher Daniels? He is back? And losing to Bubba Ray?

[El Fangel]

Daniels? Christopher Daniels? He is back? And losing to Bubba Ray?

I just checked through the whole stream and cannot find this match at all.

[seapig4]

Yep, Russo is Bipolar

[Swiss Ultimate]

TNA Suggestion: Turn everyone heel and do an entire show with no matches and just people complaining about Vince McMahon.

[MoFo]

Maybe they should start giving out Smackdown spoilers and say "that'll put butts in seats" after every report.

Also, hire Tony Schiavone to do this.

and rename Impact 'Thunder'.

ZOMG a wrestler turning from a good guy to a bad guy, this is unheard of
this is going to be a 'fingerpoke of doom'

TNA is done now, who knew such radical thinking would be their demise




















/sarcasm

[Savio]

thank you for putting sarcasm because I know you usually like saying ZOMG. How many times has there been a heel turn this year for TNA? 5? and its only march? I might be wrong but I can't think of any heel turns the WWE has done this year.

Its certainly nothing new in TNA. Which is the point being made, over sensitive TNA fan.

The Problem is that Anderson has been feuding with Immortal for a couple of months now, only to end up joining them...

seriously, is that your problem?
have you ever seen wrestling before?

[Londoner]

The problem is TNA does it FAR TOO MUCH. I've said this before aswell.

[BigDaddyCool]

I understand your feelings.

So you like having people turn all the time? Just recently here are the people in TNA I remember turning in no specific order:



Fortune
Anderson
Rhyno
Bubba Ray
Pope
Matt Morgan

I am sure there has been more. I cant name really one person who has turned in the WWE from that same time span and when WWE does do a turn it makes sense and is built up well. TNA does it on a whim.

[Londoner]

Good to know BDC, good to know.....

[Ultra Mantis]

Wait, we're only up to #23?

TNA booking formula = push face > get them "over" > lose feud > want another title shot > lose again > turn heel > feud with the next big babyface

[MoFo]

Henandez called his new group 'Mexican America'

I feel we havent made fun of this enough

they are not turning all the time at the most it's once a year, and that is rare.

That was just in the last month, right?

[screech]

At least half of that list has turned within the last month. How is that once a year?

[screech]

And I see BDC has covered my point.

[Aguakate]

TNA doesn't care about continuity...I'm starting to think that's why I can't get "into" TNA.

[Londoner]

Yeah, well, one of the reasons.

[Aguakate]

^^^
Right, it's ONE of the reasons.

[Ultra Mantis]

Pretty sure Doug Williams only turned face recently and is now heel again too.

[addy2hotty]

It's pretty clear to me that Anderson is just using Immortal to get the title back. As he's an Asshole and all that.

His current character doesn't fit into a stable at all.

[addy2hotty]

And to be fair, he's a tweener if anything. No way is he a fan/other face respecting performer. He's been attacking all and sundry for weeks.

[BizarroKing]

Mexus. Nuff said.

Pretty sure Doug Williams only turned face recently and is now heel again too.

When did he turn heel again!?

[Ultra Mantis]

These are for thursdays (3/31) Show:

* Scott Steiner beat Jesse Neal. Eric Young and Orlando Jordan, who were on commentary, got attacked by Magnus and Douglas Williams after the match.

* Matt Hardy, Abyss and Brother Ray beat RVD, Sting and Mr. Anderson in a cage match. Sting attacked Anderson during his entrance and left him there. Hogan eventually came out and forced Anderson to join the cage. Anderson pushed RVD, letting Brother Ray get the win.

Same show as Anderson does pretty much.

[BigDaddyCool]

Russo loves the swerve.

[Aguakate]

Russo loves the swerve.

...too much.

[Savio]

Pretty sure Doug Williams only turned face recently and is now heel again too.Was he the one that left Immortal around the same time as Matt Morgan?

[Londoner]

Russo loves the swerve.

Stupid me. Was struggling to understand why TNA does it so much, can't believe i overlooked the obvious reason!

[XL]

Thing is, Anderson turning (back) heel isn't even the stupid thing.

In fact, having him join Immortal is pretty necessary because of the other stupid moves.

Stupid Move #1 - Planning the biggest angle in the company with guys that are not under contract. Because TNA couldn't secure Nash and Booker to reform the Main Event Mafia to fued with Immortal, they revealed Fortune as "they 2.0" and turned them face. In doing so Immortal became much weaker.

Stupid Move #2 - Putting your faith in (and your World Championship on) a guy with known drug problems is always likely to end up with the same result. Jeff turned up to the PPV high on somas (allegedly), was "screwed" in a match and quickly dropped from Immortal. This left Immortal with Hogan and Bischoff (who don't wrestle), Jeff Jarrett (already in a fued), Matt Hardy (who nobody cares about anymore), Gunner/Murphy (glorified jobbers) and Rob Terry (useless roid-monkey). Add in Bully Ray (fat, over-the-hill, over-selling sack of turd) and you have a pretty shitty stable with no real headline talent.

Enter Ken Anderson.

Pretty sure we'll see ANOTHER swerve before this is said and done. Whether it be the reveal that "The Network" doesn't exist and was just a ploy to get Anderson to join Immortal or it's revealed that Anderson was using Immortal to win back the title. I'd bet on Anderson being a face (again) by the time the storyline is done.

[MoFo]

Anderson doesnt join Immortal.

Report is fake.

[screech]

It's all a work.

[addy2hotty]

Anderson doesnt join Immortal.

Report is fake.

Believe the hype and all that.
