Breaking News: Kevin Nash Out Of TNA PPV Tonight?

I don't think anyone bought the show for Jarrett vs. Nash, and if they did, they've backed it up completely by explaining he is hurt, and they can save themselves by having a more over and more reliable member of the company go out and win the title (I really think this is going to be a face victory now). If it is a work, Kevin Nash will probably cost JJ the title, just as a "Hey, I wouldn't have done it on my own, but I've made sure he isn't the Champion" victory. This could lead to a solid feud between the two away from the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. I can see what you're saying about the advertising, but I don't think anyone will feel completely cheated if Nash doesn't wrestle. TNA have created intrigue around their main event (whether this is deliberate or not is still undetermined), moreso than they had going for it before, and I think that's what TNA needs to do to seperate itself from the WWE. The E can't exactly switch Kurt Angle in their main event match at Taboo Tuesday without it being called bullshit, so immediately it is something TNA should do (if they haven't already) just to try it out and see how it works out.

WHAT? First of all, Nash is Legit hurt. He won't be wrestling tonight. Not a work. And I don't think TNA is that stupid to throw away money by building Nash/Jaret only not to air the match if it was a work.

Second of all, do you really place a lot of faith in those polls on what the fans want to see. I mean, what if the same fan voted 45 times? What is there the same fans who are chanting every single wrestlers name on Impact every week? Doubt those fans represent your "average" wrestling fans. I would think those would visit the TNA website casually are the hardcore TNA fanbase.

Third of all, delievering surprise matches are nice and all if you don't do them AFTER ADVERTISING A MATCH FOR THE PAST MONTH. How stupid would that be? Any booker will tell you that's the biggest no no that a booker could do in the business. What if there were 400 people that ordered to see Nash. And assuming Nash wasn't hurt and they made the story up, they replaced Nash with Billy Gunn. Do you think those fans are going to trust TNA to put in the guys they have advertised the next time? You NEVER want to lose any fans, even if its just one. And False Advertising will lose fans.

Yea, TNA needs to seperate itslef from WWE, but not nuy making moronic booking decisions and faking people out. Ask WCW
