The road to the June 2nd Slammiversary Pay-Per-View event continues!​

 

[Starkist]

I don't see Aj joining Aces and Eights for the long term. If he does then what purpose would it serve him? Will he automatically become VP if he joins the group; or would he be belittled to a prospect? Very interested to see where this is going. Also, who's going to be Storm's partner, my guess is King Mo. Can't wait to watch tonight!

 

[Coco]

I've fast-forwarded through most of Impact this year. I reckon it's finally time to cancel that series recording.

Unless they really try to swerve everyone, It's going with Anderson being full of shit for right now claiming that AJ is going to join, and AJ eventually will be the guy to take the belt off of Bully(likely at BFG).

Also, who's going to be Storm's partner, my guess is King Mo. Can't wait to watch tonight!

It can't be King Mo, he has a Bellator fight right around the same time as Slammiversary, so he is in camp right now, not preparing for a wrestling match.

The real question is, will Storm even be able to wrestle at the event? There is a good chance he won't be healthy enough to compete. Then we have to wonder how they will alter the match. Hopefully it won't be part two of the somewhat underwhelming 3-way match from Lockdown, and they can come up with a fourth team of some sort if the Cowboy can't go.

 

[Starkist]

Yeah I forgot about Storm's healthy situation. Either way it would of been a lot more interesting with 4 teams than 3. Well guess we're not going to ever see Mo wrestle. Oh well lol.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Styles will walk out on the ceremony tonight.

Also I see tonight as the night for TNA to pull the trigger on the Mickie James heel turn. Have Velvet roll her up for the win then as she celebrates, Mickie kicks the crap out of her.

 

[klunderbunker]

That's a random name drop.

 

[klunderbunker]

I've never exactly gotten this. WHy does being world champion mean you have power?

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

This is so fucking boring.

 

[klunderbunker]

Brooke, you're not bad looking but your music SUCKS.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

This is the worst fucking 12 minutes of TV I've seen in awhile.

 

[klunderbunker]

You know, Suicide really wasn't that big of a deal in the first place.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

Anyone know who Suicide is tonight?

 

[klunderbunker]

I've heard Shark Boy, Kaz or Daniels. Odds are the first though.

 

[Mailman]

Some seem to think it's Dutt.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd put AJ under there. It's a way to keep him sharp and it's not like it means anything if he's under there.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep it's a Hogan show tonight.

 

[klunderbunker]

This sisterly love between the Knockouts gets really old really fast.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

Every time I see Wes Brisco on TV I question why I watch TNA.

 

[klunderbunker]

So why not just have Brisco in the tournament?

 

[klunderbunker]

Every time I see Wes Briscoe on TV I question why I watch TNA.

I don't mind Wes. He's WAY better than Bischoff.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

This sisterly love between the Knockouts gets really old really fast.

Don't worry, Mickie is probably gonna beat the hell out of Velvet tonight.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

I don't mind Wes. He's WAY better than Bischoff.

That's true.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Can we seriously reunite Joe and Magnus? Would MUCH rather see them in the tag title matches than Chavo and Hernandez.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

A No-Prize and rep to the first person to post Magnus's name when he was on Gladiators.
