I enjoyed Slammiversary but i had a problem with Angle going over AJ Styles. Chris Sabin getting that X division title was a good look. TV Title match was a waste and the tag title match was good. Im happy that Sting is out of the title picture forever
 
I'm really glad that Sting lost last night despite continuity gaffes during the main event (if A&8's are ambushing the TNA guy where are the TNA guys backing him up as they've done on Impact numerous times now?). The WHC needs to be fought for amongst the 45 and younger crowd only.

Angle and AJ is being set up as feud that will go on for a while. I have no issue with AJ not winning because that would've been much more predictable. We all know AJ will win the BFG series anyway and go on to dethrone Bully at the BFG ppv. He has a finishing move that focuses on hurting the calf while calfzilla is the champ. How more transparent can it get?

They will have a rematch and AJ will go over and get a huge rub going into the BFG series. Kurt has been limited to jobbers these past couple of months. He needed another credible win after so long especially on the night of his HOF induction. I don't think it hurt AJ at all it just highlights that the journey towards his upcoming title run won't be as easy as we thought it was going to be. It's called pathos. It's a way for us to realize that the struggle for AJ will be real and make us more involved and sympathetic towards him during his journey to the top of the food chain again.

This was a good ppv overall. I'm finally impressed with Taryn Terrell outside of her being another blonde with a pair of fake tits and a killer smile. Her performance last night is how you go about gaining respect. She really stepped up to the plate. Nobody could knock that knockouts match last night.

Is Crimson still in OVW? more importantly has he gotten better? I'm curious cause Bully brought him up during his Q&A session this past weekend as someone he would love to have in Aces & Eights.
 
Last night's episode was really great. The opening promo was hilarious and a great set up for the main event. I didn't even realize how much I missed seeing Meth Hardy on TV until that segment. The 6 man tag match was crazy ill. All 6 guys had a crap load of chemistry in the ring and even Gunner looked good working in there. Sabin's finish was classic shit & he seems to be getting that push which is a good thing.

I'm really liking the return of the oblivious and conniving heel Micke James. That's where she's really in her element since it's the closest to her "out there" real life persona. Makes her come across a lot more natural and makes her seem sexier than she already is. Magnus is a lucky dude.

Rampage and Angle staredown was dope I just hope this goes a hell of a lot better than the King Mo experiment did. I have faith cause Rampage actually really loves wrestling unlike King Mo so I expect him to take it much more serious. He is also the one of the only MMA guys outside of Chael with really serious charisma and mic presence even if he seemed a bit nervous out there last night. He could legit be one of the biggest stars in the business if he pulls this off right. He's already got the mass appeal and credibility. The crowd fist pumping to Robbie E's theme was funny as hell and the atmosphere overall was awesome. TNA really needs to go to GA more often.

They're coming up, I say within the next 5 years, they will be competition for the WWE. They have a few kinks to work out, but they've been doing a good job.
 
Don't really watch TNA but been hearing about this Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell match and just watched it.

Great match yall need to check it out if u haven't
 
Knockouts matches are GOAT, they put on a show. My wife dislikes wrestling but she likes to watch the TNA Knockouts wrestle, she said they're really good and wonders why WWE doesn't have the same.
 
Main Event Mafia coming back. So far it's Sting and Angle, i wonder who else they bring in for the group. The BFG series should be entertaining since no jobbers are involved this year

Should be a new crew, not the same people.

Put Crimson in there.

Nah I only see it being joe sting angle and abyss..and maybe someone else..former world champs..

It's pretty easy to see who will be in it; Angle, Abyss or Park, Hardy,

They might possibly have AJ as the "last man" kind of thing.

It's gonna be all whoever Aces & 8's has attacked, basically.
 
The new Main Event Mafia: I definitely see Hardy in there eventually. Samoa Joe too but not AJ Styles. It would just completely derail any impact his new lone wolf gimmick has made.

They're gonna need to scrap that, it's not working out. It's too dark and dull for AJ.
 
Except that the majority of fans are actually enjoying it (myself included) and AJ himself has really liked the challenge of of working a different gimmick. So I seriously doubt we'll see a change. Maybe after BFG but definitely not going into it.
