I feel like if anyone posted the LD before IDR that they would never be seen or heard from again

Also, I could totally get behind Velvet Sky(insert period here) and Austin Aries teaming up. Two of my favorite people in the company.

I've got:

Magnus - Because it would be dumb to take the belt off him now. And the annual Sting to WWE rumors have begun again.

Angle - The way they've built this it seems like this match is the culmination of the feud.

Aries - My previous statement about him and Velvet aside, I wouldn't like the belt changing hands again so quickly. But this seems like the type of match where some sort of payoff has to happen.

Gunner - Why give him the case if not to use it to build him up? It's not like Storm isn't still very over despite bad booking anyways. Both are still face, but I think there is a chance something changes about that soon. My initial thought is Gunner, though that would be a waste(or a long time holding the briefcase) while Magnus has the belt.

Not watched TNA in ages, this card is stacked though. I'll be watching.

There's been a few times I've not been able to do it, but yeah, it's basically routine now.

 

[klunderbunker]

TNA has done a good job of building up stories to culminate in blowoff matches. Why can't they do that more often?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Wait, I thought Sting lost the ability to ever challenge for the title ever again? What did I miss? Ya know, besides the last 6 months of programming.

It's TNA. That's your answer.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Did they ever acknowledge that stipulation or did they just decide it never happened?

 

[klunderbunker]

They mentioned it a week or so ago, but Dixie agreed to let it happen.

 

[Lowdown]

Gotta set the DVR again. Got the Lakers at Heat at 8, then Kings at Ducks at 10. The dance card is booked.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'll be on delay as well. Rangers/Blues.

Really pumped for this card though.

 

[Thriller Ant]

1-0

They explained it during the segment between Magnus and Sting. Magnus said he'd get Dixie to lift the stip, in so many words, if Sting agreed to put his contract on the line.

1-0

1-1

 

[klunderbunker]

Again, never means for awhile in wrestling.

 

[klunderbunker]

These power struggle stories are becoming a running joke.

 

[lil steroid meat]

Another "takeover" in TNA?

 

[lil steroid meat]

Who plays these lawyers in these pro-wrestling shows

I wonder where on the totem pole as an actor you are if you are on pro wrestling shows

 

[klunderbunker]

Was it just me or was the editing in this really awkward?

 

[Galvatron]

Why is Magnus mad that Sting has 1 person in his corner? Magnus will have every heel on the roster in his corner.

 

[klunderbunker]

Dixie: Where's Ethan?

FOur minutes later.

Oh there he is.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's a heel. He's supposed to be a hypocrite.

 

[ABMorales787]

Sting's the investor, isn't he?

 

[lil steroid meat]

Was it just me or was the editing in this really awkward?

The camera was more steady.

I think it had 2 shots, a steady one, and the reality show shaky one we are used to.

I like it.

 

[klunderbunker]

So to clarify: we're coming up on Lockdown and AJ, Jarrett and possibly Sting will all be leaving.

We could be looking at an old vs. new power struggle. You can feel TNA's mouth watering at the possibility.

Jarrett is apparently gone.

IMO they should have let EC3 go on a Legend Killer type thing.

I hope AJ Styles or someone somewhat neutral is commissioner/president/whatever by Lockdown.
