Because someone has to watch it.

Kurt Angle and Sting sign their title match contract

Bound for Glory Series

Devon vs. AJ Styles

Samoa Joe vs. The Pope

[Droford]

so Anderson/Bully Ray at the PPV..as if anyones gonna care..yea

[el bobbo]

The wholAnderson joining the stable was pretty stupid. The names for both stables are stupid too.

Ms Tessmacher just kissed Tara. I'll watch.

[Droford]

Fourtune was supposed to be the Four Horsemen led by Flair but they couldnt use the name..

[Droford]

Samoa Joe still has ZERO

ridiculous

[Savio]

What is this BFG series?

[DaveBrawl]

It's a points standings system they have for 8 or so wrestlers and the top guy come Bound For Glory gets a title shot at that show.

[Droford]

Points will be earned on a variety of shows (IMPACT, PPV, House Shows) in a variety of match types). The four competitors with the most points will wrestle at No Surrender. The one who wins will earn a World Title shot at Bound For Glory.

HOW POINTS WILL BE EARNED
Submission Victory- 10 Points
Pinfall Victory- 7 Points
Countout Victory- 5 Points
DQ Victory- 3 Points
Draw- 2 Points
DQ- -10 Points

The participants involved are:
Rob Van Dam
AJ Styles
Gunner
Bully Ray
Crimson
James Storm
Matt Morgan (who got 24 points and then had to pull out with a torn pec last week)
Devon
Scott Steiner
The Pope
Bobby Roode
Samoa Joe

[Rollermacka]

D-Von lookin pretty good both in ring and physically. He was always the more in shape one in Team 3D, I think the split actually helped both of their careers

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pope vs. Samoa Joe: The Feud Nobody Understood.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What in this shit commercials is Impact/Spike TV getting? The fuck?

[Droford]

Joe needs to get off the schneid

[Rollermacka]

Lol, a Summer Fest commercial durring Impact

[Droford]

joe gets 10 points only to lose those 10 points and 10 more points..hahaha

haahahah

really

hahahah..

[Rollermacka]

Was that Joe's climax face when he had that choke in?

[el bobbo]

I think Keith Stone would fit in better on IMPACT than Raw.

[el bobbo]

How is Bubba Ray ... Bully Ray this high up on their roster?

[Rollermacka]

That mask really throws off Sarita. I read that she suffered "sudden partial facial paralysis" Does anyone know if it is something that has happen before to her, can she recover from it?

[DaveBrawl]

I thought they only counted Joe's loss as a DQ, at least that's what Tenay kept saying.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So why did Joe resign with TNA?

[Droford]

I thought they only counted Joe's loss as a DQ, at least that's what Tenay kept saying.
Pope got 3 points and Joe lost 10 meaning he has -10 points now.

Also, I think Mexican America beats Beer Money for the belts at the PPV.

[Droford]

that spinning figure four looks awesome

[DaveBrawl]

They probably will. It's only a matter of time until they break them up and try to send Roode after the World title.

[DaveBrawl]

Brainbustah

[Rollermacka]

Hmm, 3 X division stars to debut next week. I'm gonna say its gonna be Curry Man, Kash, and Amazing Red under another crappy mask

[Droford]

They probably will. It's only a matter of time until they break them up and try to send Roode after the World title.

1 of them will make the 4 way BFGS match at No Surrender.

and EY's beard is getting pretty epic..he might have more hair on his face than his head.

[Emperor Smeat]

It could also be the 3 guys that lost at the last ppv even though the whole purpose of the contract match was just for 1 new wrestler in the X-division.

[Rollermacka]

Anybody miss the Eric Young that lead World Elite/ part of the Band?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No.

Was that Scott Baio with the golfclub?

[el bobbo]

Empty Arena Match? What's the difference between that and a normal TNA match?

[el bobbo]

Did they end those Taco Bell commercials with that annoying Indian guy from The Daily Show?

[Rollermacka]

You gotta love the fact that around a month ago Steiner and Crimson werea tag team apposing Immortal

[el bobbo]

Crimson < Seamus

[Droford]

You gotta love the fact that around a month ago Steiner and Crimson werea tag team apposing Immortal

Steiner works 100 times better as a heel..

One of the few random heel/face flipflops TNA does that I didnt mind

[Aguakate]

...Can't believe they've stuck with the name "Bully Ray".

[Rollermacka]

Steiner works 100 times better as a heel..

One of the few random heel/face flipflops TNA does that I didnt mind

Yea, Steiner is a natural heel.



This Hardcore Justice card actually looks pretty good. I mean I'm not gonna order it, but I might look for a bar that might be showing it :-\

[Aguakate]

LOL the contract reads, in large, bold letters: "WORLD TITLE MATCH".

[DaveBrawl]

Sting's fashion sense has increased incredibly since he went insane.

[Aguakate]

Kurt Angle's voice sounds different...either that, or it's been a long time since I've heard him talk.

[DaveBrawl]

Is that podium really necessary for a contract signing? Looks like they're gonna play Family Feud.

[el bobbo]

When did Heath Ledger come back to life? It looks like Sting's born-again bullshit paid off for him.

[el bobbo]

In 3 days...

[DaveBrawl]

I understand that everyone respects Kurt Angle or even HBK in the WWE but theoretically shouldn't they all at least act like they all believe they are the greatest ever. Maybe it's me, but it looks kind of weird when the world champion is saying someone else is the best wrestler in the company or the best of all time.

[Aguakate]

Whoa...when did Steve Austin do a movie called "Damage"? LOL

[DaveBrawl]

Steve Austin soliloquy going on right now.

[Rollermacka]

I missed that last segment, I was watching Cow & Chicken. Did I miss anything?

[DaveBrawl]

I was checking out WWE's site earlier looking for their live events schedule and apparently Austin has a new movie that just came out on dvd. Also the KISS Demon is today's where are they now.

I always enjoyed that guy.

[DaveBrawl]

Not really. Just Angle and Sting reminding us about how much they respect each other.

[el bobbo]

Good point Davebrawl. This is where you have to have "wrestling logic" over real logic.

They want to play up Angle's real wrestling stuff to promote the company. It kind of sucks for the story for this PPV, but I get it.

I love being able to go right from TNA to The Daily Show instead of having to watch it the next day after Raw.

[Aguakate]

I'd guess Sting is winning...since Angle is training in hopes of going to the '12 Olympics...AND, of course, TNA is Dixie Carter's company...not Hogan's, not Bischoff's...

[el bobbo]

They're gearing up Crimson for a huge title run. Unless something stupid happens with booking (which it probably will) they can build up this guy pretty hardcore.

Im a genuine fan of Beer Money. They really relate to my lifestyle (no sarcasm).

[Rollermacka]

I remember he was ok, if he didn't get the Demon gimmick he would have just been another generic big man. I think WCW had the idea this it was suppose to be a "scary evil monster" but its Kiss. On top of that avaerage fans really cared about Kiss since the early 90s (I think that was the last time they had a hit song)

I never got this. Did he have KISS'S approval in doing this? I mean, was he backed by them or something?

[Emperor Smeat]

Yes it was part of the contract WCW had with the band and I think it was the band themselves who thought of the idea for the wrestler.

In the Death of WCW, Bischoff assumed this would have given the company a huge advantage in the mainstream over the WWF but WCW never made any money from the crossover nor regained the money in sales to make up for the contract.

WCW head Eric Bischoff struck a deal with the rock band KISS to create a KISS themed wrestler, "The KISS Demon", a gimmick that was meant to be the wrestling alter ego of performer Gene Simmons. The gimmick was played once by Brian Adams, rejected by him, and given to Torborg. He was managed by Asya, who he later married. The "Demon" character was originally supposed to be the beginning of a stable called The Warriors of KISS, in which the other original members of the band would have a wrestler representing their look and gimmick.[3] KISS was guaranteed their "Demon" themed wrestler would wrestle a Main Event match with the contract they made with WCW.

[Aguakate]

Geez...now that's horrible...

...I even remember that "Kiss Demon" showing up in a Florida Marlins game for some reason...I think his dad was the Marlins' Manager at the time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I'd guess Sting is winning...since Angle is training in hopes of going to the '12 Olympics...AND, of course, TNA is Dixie Carter's company...not Hogan's, not Bischoff's...

How much does Spike TV own of TNA?

[Aguakate]

How much does Spike TV own of TNA?

IDK, but Sting said TNA is Dixie's company, and that he will not let Bischoff and Hogan take over, so, you KNOW he's going to win.
