TNA Tag Team Champions

Team Pacman​

They will only hold the gold for about a month as I do see them losing the gold to Styles and Tomko at BFG. Only reason why TNA put the gold on Pacman Jones was that they wanted so media coverage and they got little. So I just see them holding the gold for month. This is crappy that TNA gave Pacman the gold but oh well I hope it just last a month and Tomko and AJ get the gold.

That was a good match at No Surrender between Angle and Lethal and i for one was quite shocked when Angle did the job so Lethal could win with a clean pin. this should do something good for Lethals carrerr though with the Black machismo gimmick it will set him back as no one will take him that seriously and if he can go back to just Jay lethal it could be good. But nothing can take away what this did for him now. Though now lets see someone like Petey get a shot but IMO it be Daniels

I agree. I hope what we have in store is a good future with TNA, especially their X Division after things really got bad with the overall product of TNA. I really hope Jay Lethal becomes an actual star after TNA goes to 2 hours and the X Division will get their push. I hope with the time being given, their shows can be just as good as the old weekly PPV's with a combination of SOME (not all) ex-WWE guys/legends as well as establishing a future for names with potential.

Kurt Angle, who earlier in the night insisted that he put over Black Machismo clean, was furious with this. Angle even turned down a proposed idea to have interference lead to him getting pinned. Angle was enraged with the fact that he just put Machismo over and the TNA bookers damaged whatever ha had gained from the big win over angle by treating him like a jobber just an hour later on the same show.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Although self-centered, Angles completely right. Machismo just beat the Wolrd Heavyweight Champion AND the X-Divison champion. That should/would have given him an amazing amount of momentum, enough to actually make his win worth something. Jobbing him out later just killed all that.

TNA Tag Team Champions

Team Pacman​

I wasnt surprised as i said i would be earlier. This is statement o what ever to get media coverage by giving the titles to team Pacman. I believe this is terrible because he cant even wrestle, it also makes the tag division look weaker by making it a one man show basically. it was boring to see the Truth do all the work with help of Angle.

Future Contenders i see LAX or Tomko and AJ Styles or the Motor City Machine Guns

TNA X-Division Champion

"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal​

I thought the match was entertaining at the last PPV. I was glad to see angle lose cleanly and try to put over Jay Lethal even if he does have that gimmick. I believe there are better people suited like Styles Daniels or Williams or even Sonjay Dutt. But atleast jay lethal will get a title run like he deserves.

TNA World Title-First off to be a world champ you have to be good on the mic which angle is.He has great matchs and is really fun to watch i like him as champ i always wanted him to come to TNA and become champ and now he is.I think angle is prefect for TNA World Champ.
If angle was to lose it i would want it to be either Sting or Rhino.Becuase i can feel a nother title run for Rhino and i would like to see it and Sting is one of the best wrestlers alive today and he should win the belt again.

X Divison Title-I think i like Black Machismo i like his stlye and he is prefect on the mic he is a great champion he can wrestle quite good and knows how to control the crowd pretty good.
I would like to see AJ Stlyes or Chris Sabin or Daniels with this belt becuase AJ Stlyes made the x divison great and he is one of there best champs.Chris Sabin is lord of Ulmaite X he knows how to win at all cost and could ut on a great match.Daniels just like AJ

TNA Tag Team belts-First off thizs belt is nothing anymore that Team Pacman holds it they stink on the mic one part of there team cant wrestle enough said
I want to see Motor City Machine Guns or Team 3D or even LAX with the belt becuase they are all great.I would like to se Daniels and AJ come back as a tag team to.

I agree with you on the VKM and MCM, VKM should be managing to help get others over and MCM is just staring but they would have a nice feud. Angle is good but he is getting to the point where he can be used to get over more superstars or manage too. Samoa Joe and Rikishi would be a nice feud but Rikishi isnt as agile as Joe so I wouldn't know... but battle of the Samoans is a nice match. Jay Lethal prob made his career as Black MOnchismo. No one really knew him as he was but now they see his charisma a bit more. Once the two hours come, if they do not focus on the X Division more, I will not tune in. Ratings will drop. But TNA overall is pretty good.... OHH NEVER MIND THEY HAVE PACMAN JONES AS A CHAMPION, IF HE WRESTLED I WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT BUT HE DOESNT AND I CANT WAIT TILL HE IS OFF SUSPENSION

 

[bigcity]

Angle is good a champion, but I think they need to to put the title on Joe while they still have him. He's the CM Punk of TNA except he doesn't have the title.

Lethal- I love the gimmic, but I think in oreder to return to credibility to the X division title they need to take it off him in some type of Ultimate X match. Perhaps a six way match between Lethal, Styles, Daniels, Sabin, Petey William, and Kaz. This match would still the show at any PPV. TNA or WWE!!!

Team Pacman- This is bull***t. Give the title to any legitimate team. Hopefully either XXX, LAX, or MCM. Heck put AMW back together since the push that they both of them are getting sucks.

Team Pacman Winning the tag titles did just as much damage to the titles prestige as the finger poke of death incident between hogan and nash back in wcw. Pacman Jones is not a wrestler he is a gimmick and thats it, Giving them the titles was a means to add some star power to the tna roster(which they have plenty of,its just being mis managed). with stars such as RVD chris jericho and a rising star in the alpha male (who is a former tna wrestler) out there waiting to be recruted TNA moving to two hours. TNA can easily draw more talent away from wwe. Anyways back to the topic. Petey willams for X-division Champ or AJ styles. aj styles and tomko for tag champs, or I think a great tag team and tag team champs will and should be Somoea Joe and Junior Fatu, a tag team bound for greatness in my mind.

 

[RVDgurl]

So Sting gets the win over Kurt Angle at BFG tonight. I was a little surprised by the move as Angle has been their golden boy for the past several months. I think Sting will serve to be a transition champion, but it's definately not clear who his next fued will be with. Kevin Nash definately played a big role in the match, but his return to the ring as an active wrestler is still up in the air.

Any thoughts on the Sting/Angle match from BFG? What kind of title reign can we expect to see from Sting?

A decent Match, but there is no reason for Sting to be champ again, they should of kept the belt on Angle, I hope that Sting drops the belt within the next month or so, Angle Christian, AJ, Abyss and Joe are far better choices for champ than Sting, personally not all that happy with this decision

 

[Kliq]

Thank God Sting won the title, finally someone worth watching now has the belt. Hopefully Nash uses this as his opening and begins to fued in the main event again. Thanks TNA for bringing back a little class to your world title.

 

[Lil Wes]

I don't watch TNA, Couldn't care less about what happens but I see Sting winning the title as just a move for viewers, TNA has just moved to 2 hours, Sting has always been a good draw, So maybe they are hoping having him on top will bring in ratings and money not sure it will work though. After all it is TNA.

Angle is a troublemaker anyways, Driving drunk, Always involved with something to do with Roids'. Jesus Christ, Sounds like the Old Randy Orton. Sting doesn't need the run but he'll make a good champ, and I might actually pay attention now he's on top due to his past success. Give him a break, I'm sure it's just for a short time anyways and with this about a Kevin Nash "return"...*Yawn* Didn't I see this 10 years ago?

 

[schoondog]

As much of a fan I am of angle, I'm a huge sting fan and it was nice to see him have another title run. As far as the next guy in line, i don't think joe is going to get a run with the title until he signs the contract extension. Personally i'd like to see a Sting Roode program to elevate roode. then sting dropping the title to angle later on.

 

[Show188]

The Knockouts match was surprisingly ok as the women wrestled much more fluidly and had more moves than some of the divas
however the worst part of the match for those that saw the PPV was the temporary "unveiling" of awesome kong when she got eliminated .

 

[A.J.]

See I dont see the point in getting the belt of Angle as from the looks of it he could very well get the belt back in some type of 3-way match. I mean Sting is going to be nothing more than a transitional champ like last year when he won the gold at BFG. That match itself was ok just the ending was meh with all the Nash interfering. But i shall see what happens

Gail was the best choice for the gold as TNA womens division has more heels than faces so it works out best for her. Be interesting see how they go with the divison now.

Sting​

Pointless. Why take the title of Kurt. It's a new belt so a lengthy title run should have been the only option. Especially considering that Sting is supposed to be retiring soon. He'll aslo only hold the title for a matter of weeks. Which is again pointless. Couldn't Angle have put over somebody else instead?

 

[BooCocky]

I am a fan of both Sting and Angle i just didnt understand what the point was giving the belt to Sting, because at this time in his career does he really need it? I think not, Sting is a wrestling Icon who has always been over with the crowd. The match it's self was ok, but nothing to special because imo Nash's interference screwed that match up and was a terrible booking on TNA's part. Like mostly everyone i believe Sting will be nothing more than a transitional champion. I believe Angle losing had something to do with his conflict with Jarrett and thats not a good this because of Jeff's saying in the business. I still see an Angle feud or maybe even a Joe or Cage feud but one thing for certain, is if Nash returns to the ring i hope he doesnt get a title shot. But still i believe the Angle feud will still continue because quite frankly TNA has several stars still locked in feuds so Angle is the safer bet.

 

[Shocky]

On Sting and the title.

I know there was some complaint going on that TnA didn't punish Kurt for his DUI, but people didn't realize that Impact was already taped for that week.

So reasons why Sting won;

1: Angles DUI forces TNA to remove the belt off of Kurt Angle earlier then anticipated. This is simply a punishment, which Angle deserves. He is living a wreckless lifestyle, and hopefullly this is a mini-wake up call.

2. Jeff Jarrett's Politicking wins out: You never know what goes on backstage, and maybe Jarret got into Carter's head and she pulled the trigger on this move.

3. Angles half commitment to TNA. TNA is trying to establish itself to the main stream, and Angles attention seems to be divided. I know as a company I wouldn't want to put my belt on a guy that seems more and more likely to split his time with MMA and wrestling. We all know wrestling is staged, but how bad would it make your company look if your champion gets beat down by some shmuck in MMA? it's all about image and the illusion that wrestling is real.

4. TNA is simply using the name value of Sting while they can: Let's face it, Sting isn't over the hill, but certainly past his prime. He is capable of putting on good matches still, and TNA realizes that he only has a few years left in him to draw. Sting, Angle and Nash, any coincidence these three were all involved in the main event last night? These are TNA's biggest names, and whether the IWC likes it or not, they are TnA's three biggest main stream draws. TNA is simply using the name of Sting while it last. Kurt is considerably younger in wrestling years to Sting, so Sting having a title run now won't effect Kurt. I would Imagine we are going to see the belt around Angle longer.

I don't have a problem with Sting winning the belt. He's proven, he's established.

I'm not too happy about Sting winning the title. I would much rather see it on someone like Joe. I do think that TNA did the right thing for punishing Angle for driving drunk. I just hope this reign will be short.

About Gail Kim winning I'm pretty pleased she's the msot talented diva on the roster and deserves to be the first champ. Interested in seing how TNA will deal with their women's division.

Im glad tna is actually listening to us, angle needed to get the belt off of him, the dude is in serious trouble with the DUI and its making the company look bad, with sting it gives the title meaning and having a credible champion who has no history of drug use and abuse, i think its a good call and elevates the belt, sting is a credible champion that still can go so why not???

Heres the Updated with Picture

I really hope that Jay Lethal gets a new feud as him and Daniel is getting on my nerves as it was a solid match at BFG, but its been done to death IMO. I like to see someone like Sonjay get a shot but he is a face so i guess not. Though Senshi be nice, but I think this is just the beginning of a long run for Lethal.

 

[cobain]

I think Sting won the title so he can drop it to Christian.

Angle couldn't drop it to Christian because that woudl be heel vs heel.
Even though we have seen things like that before I think it would be bad for ratings.

I think this is building a storyline, now that Tomko and Aj have teh tag titles and Christian is without a title they can focus on helping him win the world title. They can try to bring down Sting and then become the most powerful faction in wrestling...
