The TNA World Title Series

[roipdh123]

So tonight was the second week of the TNA World title series and the rest of the groups for the series that will play out until January were revealed.

I want to know what are you're predictions to the series so write them below and tell everyone (the people like me who know what will happen please don't spoil it to every body else..).

I think it'll end up being Lashley. Though this whole series thing that TNA likes to do I think isn't going to drive viewership. They want to make money on this? Do what WWE has done in the past. One night tournaments. Dedicate a pay per view to it. Have qualifiers on tv during tapings, and have the quarters, semis and finals on PPV. The points system thing they like to do for the BFG series and this I think is too much. A set tournament with brackets essentially gives fans a beginning and end of the whole thing where with the series, they usually don't announce when it ends.

I agree with having the Quarters - Semi's - Final in a PPV, KOTR type format.

I think it'll end up with Drew Galloway pinning ECIII in the final, I suppose it all depends on when the Finals take place & where.

How can they have PPV - when it been taped all ready.

I want Drew Galloway to win it by pinning EC III in the final.......

The smart money is on either Lashley, EC3 or Drew. I'd really like to see Roode, EY or Aries win the tournament, but I don't think any of those guys will actually pull it off. I like the idea of EC3 getting his first loss during the tournament (possibly in the final match), but I don't know if that will happen. I think EC3 has the best chance of winning the whole enchilada, through some type of shenanigans again. He'll probably face either Drew or Lashley in the finals; I'm just not sure which one. With Tyrus waiting in the wings for a shot at the champ, EC3 seems to be the best option.

Even though the way this tournament came about was kind of stupid, I like the direction that the story is headed. What's up with the Knockouts being part of the tournament though? Are we actually going to see "real" intergender matches at some point? That will be weird. I can totally see Awesome Kong wrestling a man, but the idea of Gail/Brooke/Madison vs. a man just seems awkward & strange.

I love the idea of having the finals in a PPV setting, like the late 90's KOTR PPVs. That's how TNA should do it. I don't read TNA spoilers; has the entire tournament already been taped? Was a winner already crowned? I don't want to know the results, just if it's already happened. To the best of my knowledge, there have only been two TNA PPVs this year (Slammiversary & BFG). A third PPV in December (or possibly the first PPV of 2016 in January, "Genesis" if I'm not mistaken) to crown a new WHC would be great. As Gallops77 already implied, this could be a great way for TNA to generate a few extra PPV dollars.
