Matt Hardy Vacates The TNA World Title

[BaconBits]

Looks like we are getting a BFG type World Series Tournament to name a new champion. They will be using previously filmed footage to splice together the tournament. As stupid as this idea sounds how funny/cool would it be to see them use the best matches in the company's history while trying to pass them off as new?

First Round. First Match. Daniels vs. Styles vs. Joe. Who will pick that all important first victory?

I say they go with that fake mma match Angle and Joe had.

Also, in before the rumors start that the Hardys are on their way back to the E.

2. TNA doesn't have 32 people on their roster to put in a series. Who are they kidding with that number?

With they way this is playing out we are going to see some names from the distant past. Team Canada might reform only to see EY turn and join World Elite. Then he bails on them to fight crime, gets hitched to ODB and finally turn crazy before making the finals. Im looking forward to TNA Originals "returning." I just hope they try to pass of a Lashley MMA bout off as a gimmick match. This is going to be funny as fuck.

Well they had those marathon tapings a few months back with the One Night Only shows. I looked it up and they have 53 matches available from those. That could cover TNA for months, meaning we get to sit through a long dull series because this is what TNA has sunk to.

I guess it's a silver lining for them, because they also voice over the shows separately, so Josh and Pope can do that and not be out of sync with what's happening on television.

It'll be boring at first, but at least this will make sense in the end, even if the reason this is happening is stupid.

And lucky us: we get to watch a 32 man Bound For Glory Series, which have worked SO well in the past.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I mean, I think it'll be more interesting down the line, but yeah, the opening matches are going to just be random throw-togethers.

 

[klunderbunker]

That's the problem with most tournaments. There's no point in watching anything until they get to the end, which could be months away.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Right, but they have to fill content, so they'll make it work. Hopefully the backstage stuff they produce helps to seam it together well. I have a feeling we're gonna be watching some really, extra boring episodes of IMPACT in the coming weeks here before the India tour.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh yeah. And the end result of this is likely Ethan getting the title back, meaning we'll be right back where we started a week before Bound For Glory.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Yeah, or maybe Galloway? I'm not sure how far they're expecting to project this. When is the India tour again?

 

[klunderbunker]

Well if the reports are accurate, they have 53 matches taped. Figure six matches a show for eight weeks. The India tapings are penciled in for late November/early December, even though they haven't been officially announced.

Well that's 31 matches out of the 53. I'm guessing the other 22 matches are tag and women's matches.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I just..... Don't know what to say... This is beyond WCW bad.

 

[Shocky]

And apparently the women are included as well? Good lord.

Well it works in Lucha Underground and Brooke is totally the same as Sexy Star right?

Gail Kim and Kong are both in it, apparently.

I doubt they'll allow the women to compete against the men. Were any male/female matches recorded? I don't recall any.

If they go this route, it won't happen until the India tapings, well into this series.

You actually need 63 matches for the tournament.

Every group has six matches (three rounds of two 1v1 matches), we have eight groups. 48.

Two advance per group, so eight matches in the next round, four in the quarterfinal, two semifinals, one final. 15.

48 + 15 = 63. My guess is they have the group stage matches taped and five are for the case of ties or something.

Does TNA even have 32 wrestlers on their roster?

Probably not, but they do have matches taped with 32 people total.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Probably not, but they do have matches taped with 32 people total.

Wait, are they seriously considering using taped matches? That is just sad.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah these were all taped about three months ago.

I dont know who will win this TNA tournament thing, but I do know who loses: wrestling fans.
