According to the sheets, Impact's original plan for the Eli Drake match was for either Low Ki or Joey Janela to be the mystery opponent.
Seems Janela was the first choice but then he got injured, then Low Ki as the backup but contract talks fell through, and then Ellsworth as the final backup. |

Thought crossed my mind, but what a stupid fucking work. Totally Russo-esque if that's the case. But I guess TNA is desperate enough to want whatever attention they can get, so blowing all the tension to admit its fake bullshit doesn't seem out of character. Especially since the brain trust there has had a big week knowing that they are slipping further in the ratings and had their show moved. They're kind of walking the tightrope between holding it all together and be logical and "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." If that is the case.
But it seems like it might be real. Which makes more sense from the perspective that there is nothing to be gained by Aries no-selling a finish. If that's the case, the dude really is a miserable bastard, haha. |

Is he heading back to 205 Live now that it's good?

I imagine he probably goes into recluse or does something with ROH or in Japan.

slick it somebody took it upon themselves to change the title of the thread without really consulting with me. They even had it as Bound for Glory 2019 for a bit until I realized it, was just making me look dumb. If they were going to change the thread could have atleast put the last page that was current.

I mean he's technically been a free agent since winning the Impact World Championship. He's said multiple times he's not under contract and has even appeared on ROH TV. Still think it's a work and Aries will be back soon enough. Don't plan on checking out any spoilers and hope none get posted here.

Personally I think Aries should have won the match. If there is any chance of them getting Jericho to show up its having the "best in the world" story that would make it work and I think Aries fits that better. |

Also figured it was slik as he took Scarlett Bordeaux out of the title and no straight guy would have done that. Last edited by Simple Fan; 10-16-2018 at 12:41 AM. |

I do like that they've set up Sami Callihan vs Cage. That's a great X Division feud with two different styles that should be interesting.
Rosemary returning to take on Su Yung has been building all year and I'm ready for Rosemary's return. Tessa should hold the title until Rosemary gets out of the undead realm and challenges her. As for the tag titles they've got LAX/OVE that could start things off but also could see LAX/Lucha Bros idmf LAX gets past OVE. Tag division has been the weakest in my opinion which is why I thought doing the LAX/OGz feud was a good idea to hide it. They've built up Lucha Bros and KM & Bah in the mean time, OVE was already established. Not sure what is up with the main event scene. Could see it being a work but at the same time can see it being real. I feel like Aries should have won but also understand why they'd go with Johnny. If it is a work they did a good job but completely undermined their BFG main event in the process. If it's real than they have a serious problem with keeping their top talent happy between this and the Alberto El Patron deal earlier in the year. |

Morrison was the right choice. Aries is a good wrestler, but he's got a lot of 205 Live and "never really proved his potential" stank on him. He's basically been the same dude since 2004. I can understand why you'd go with him when you've got slim pickings, but it was time for him to drop the belt and move onto other things.
I doubt they get Jericho. He's a smart businessman. I know he's working with Impact guys for his cruise, but to reciprocate the relationship is risky to his standing with Vince McMahon and New Japan. And what promotion is he going to get out of it? Anyone who follows TNA already knows the TNA guys are going to be there, and they're more than likely going to be presented like indy talent. |

I totally understand going with Johnny Impact. As far as the Jericho stuff goes I don't really see it as a possibility either. Maybe if they continue on the path they've been on I could see it in 2019. People thought he would show up at BFG but I really didn't see it happening. He's got to have something really good to show up and its just not there yet. Only thing I could have seen was a Jericho/Aries bout with the best in the world thing going.

We'll see how they're faring in 2019. Right now, given their shift in time slot, it may be much healthier for Jericho to keep working with New Japan or take a new deal with WWE. The only reason I see him going to TNA at all is if Jericho feels really bad for Callis and wants to experiment in order to try and see how much he can rekindle a husk. But it runs the risk of exposing it (or himself within certain contexts) as completely flat.

So I totally forgot to post about this.
Scarlett Bordeaux is the hottest woman I've ever met in person. I've never been intimidated by how hott a chick was, until I met her. |

I decided to give the latest Top 5 ae watch to see if TNA is still as bad as I remember.
Good god, the Indian stuff so bad. I'm watching it with no sound. It's really bad pantomime. The babyface -- who I think randomly turns heel just stands there while this new heel slowly gets into the ring and hits him from behind. Really bad WWE stuff. Lol, Moose and Eddie Edwards just did this really bad drawn-out fight scene. Fucking Sami Calliha is a hammy cunt. Brian Cage has a good look. These other guys are geeks. Lol, Cage uses the F5. So many wannabes in this promotion. I'm watching this with no sound. It's hialrious. Some girl just did some of the worst acting I have ever seen. She went to confront this demon girl and then backed away. Good god, this is so bad. Lol, either the LAX or the not-LAX group just did this awful run in where one guy almost fell over the barricade. This is dress-up WWE and it just seems "boring." |

Your deaf analysis is much appreciated although you couldn't be more wrong. Impact's storytelling is alot better than WWE's.

Why would you watch without sound... like what is the point? Couldn't you be doing something more productive than watching and shitting on a video you're so uninterested in you can't even be bothered to turn the sound on?

Don't give him any ideas. We don't want the blood of aboriginals on our metaphorical hands.
