What Will Angle do with the Tag Team Titles?

[A.J.]

Now that Kurt Angle has all the gold in TNA it brings the question of just what Angle will do with the tag team championship. Now will he get a partner and i can kinda see that but then i cant as there is really no one that angle could align himself with at this time unless it be Nash and I really doubt that. Then heres the other day idea I think could happen and that is Kurt gives the belts away to say a Team 3D or something as you never know. But I still think that they have him be a tag team champion by himself as i really see no one he could join up.

Sadly, He should not have all the belts, Samoa Joe would have had more options, in any case if he is going to have to pick a partner he should pick someone new who he could help elevate or pick two guys like he did with World's Greatest Tag team, so if he picks one partner it should be a young guy like Storm, Roode, Hoyt, and my personal pick Petey Williams but do not forget idiots run WWE and TNA these days so knowing Vince Russo he probably pick some old WWE hack like Black Reign (Dustin Runnels)

I said it in the ppv section, on the Hard Justice post. (I believe) I think Angle will attempt giving the Tag Team Championships to Team 3D to add "heel heat" to them.. in exchange for them helping him keep his World Championship.

Then, I see Cornette coming in, taking the Tag Titles & either forcing Angle to defend the titles in a handicapped match.. or my real theory is simply stripping him of the titles after attempting to give them away.. & have them go into some sorta Tag Team Turmoil/Elimination match with a lot of teams at the next ppv.

ONE extra thought is.. at next month's ppv.. have Angle wrestle three different times, defending ALL his championships. Leading up to everyone assuming he'd lose everything. I could see Angle losing the Tag Team Championships that way to the Steiner's.. then losing the X-Division Championship to Jay Lethal or Christopher Daniels (in a triple threat) & finally facing Abyss & ONLY retaining due to the revealing of Mitchell's monster.

What does anyone think of that possibly happening?

I really doubt Kurt wrestlers three times in one night, but who knows. For the tag titles, maybe his partner will be that douche bag that was with his wife (anybody know who that was? if he was an indy wrestler or somethin) or Kevin Nash. Or maybe he tries to give the titles away and Jim Cornette steps in and says you can't do that and thus the titles are vacated (ala Andre giving the title to DiBiase back in the day).

For the X Division title, I think it's more likely he defends it and loses, but I don't really see that happening either. Why would Angle job to a no name **** with a nickname like "The Fallen Angel" or "Black Machismo"? They shouldn't even be in the same company as Angle, let alone coming into contact in any way with him. What I think probably happens is Angle says he's retiring the title, unifying it with the world title, and then Cornette steps in and reactivates it immediately and holds some kind of tournament/match for the vacant title.

I think this is the best story line, but id have it happen like
triple threat for the X division, in a new X match 4 corners type hype match, with Lethal/Daniels/Williams, and having Lethal cheap shot angle on the outside, distracting from the match, and causing him to rage, while Daniels pins Williams, then having angle freak out taking all 3 out.

Have a Tag Team match with the Steinars vs Angle, and have Angle looking hot, but losing

setting up Angle vs Abyss with Joe as the ref
have Abyss get DQed though, and have angle laid out, but still with the title

 

[kieran_devlin]

Have Angle lose every belt on the night. Joe could interfere in every match, Help Machismo win the X Division because currently although i love Lethal i dont see him beating Angle, also Angle is almost too good for the x division so im guessing they need to step down the title to get some X division guys back to it. Kevin Nash as a Tag Champion as hes become friends with him on TNA after all it makes sense as he was his Dr and helped in tricking everyone. The world title match will have Christian jump in, Tomko run in, AJ run in, then Sting and Andrew Martin (test) run in then the decider to help Abyss win will be Samoa Joe. Tag belts would depend on how Ron Killings get around Pacman not being allowed to fight.

 

[CoreyDavis]

I don't see Angle losing the TNA Heavyweight Belt at all, he has gain a lot of interest from fans with the belt and they will probably maintain that fire until September or October.

I do see Angle losing the Tag Team and X Division title, I expect Angle to get a monster teammate someone who up's the stock for him, but lose the belts ultimately. The X Division title is not right on Angle, and assuming they don't kill off the belt I expect Jay Lethal to retrieve that belt, and wouldn't mind seeing the Steiner brothers get a shot at the belts as they've not held the Tag Titles since the mid 90's in WCW? (could be wrong)

 

[Attack]

I think Angle will probably lose the tag titles to "Team Pacman", and that'll probably end up being a singles in Angle vs Ron Killings, because TNA wants to make Pacman big, but he can't wrestle, so this seems to be TNA's solution.

Well if you think of it that way, they would probably receive tons of press if he carried the belt around in public. While the PR effect didnt work that great the first time with media not mentioning TNA, actually having the belt might work.

Other than that, yes I think Angle will lose the title. Who know though, maybe someone will come in and tag with him that we don't know about.

I'd prefer something to happen and have a tournament with LAX winning them. Shelly and Sabin would be great but I'd like to see them get built up more.

 

[drmagic326]

Well, i think Kurt probably will give them to Team 3D.Thats very possible. But this is highly doubtful but ever since they announced Kurt and a partner of his choosing against Team Pacman it made me think that this is when we may see one more match from Kevin Nash? Highly Doubtful but theres some possiblities.

 

[A.J.]

- During the broadcast, it was announced that next Thursday night on "iMPACT!" it will be Sting vs. Christian Cage vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe in a four-way match with the winner becoming Kurt Angle's partner at the No Surrender Pay-Per-View

Well looks like we got our answer to what will happen with the gold as now Angle will have a real partner to fight Team Pacman. MY only guess as who coudl win this be Joe as it make an interesting partners as I think TNA will hold off Cage and Joe for BFG. But if they decided against that then i can see Styles winning it as he has nothing really going for him and he could be the fall guy for Kurt in the match.

I'm thinking it will be Sting, Christian and Joe are feuding right now, Styles is part of the Christian Coalition see I think he'll be helping Christian out in the Joe vs. Cage match at No Surrender (I'm assuming that match will take place), that or Styles and Tomko will have a tag match at the ppv, agaisnt a team to be named later, Sting really has nothing going right now since Abyss is in the TNA title match, I think that Sting as Kurts partner is going to be the set-up for a Sting/Angle feud that could faollow, I think the Abyss/Sting storyline is done for now, and at BFG, Abyss will be in the Monsters Ball match against Mitchell's "son" (they said his name but I forgot what it is), and possiably Joe and Christian, or Andrew Martin and Tomko, bottom line I think Kurts partner is going to be Sting

You know that you mention that Sting wins and be Angle's tag team partner could make for the main event at BFG with Sting vs Angle for the gold. That be a great way to get this feud going and your right he is kinda left with nothing to do as Abyss is moving on and you know this does work outbest as you have a built in program for Sting and Angle.

 

[magic]

me personally i would like aj to be his partner because it could set up a great face turn for him. he could take the loss and have kurt be really pissed at him and stalk him down and they could have christian abandon him to kurt which would effectively turn aj back to face and have him feud with angle and christian going into bfg...but that seems like to much of a good idea for them to do the way they have been booking aj lately, but to me that is best case scenario.

oh and if you say joe should be involved then i disagree cause angle/joe is getting really stale right now and as much as i love joe i'm sick of 1. him and angle's grudge between them becoming more important storyline wise because that's just not how the business works and 2. aj's heel character and that theory kills both of those, but in my opinion makes to much sense for them to do it the way things have done lately.

and btw it will be sting, and as much as i love the stinger now is the time for aj to really shine with the 2 hour impact most likely coming up it just makes sense to showcase your best, but like i said it will be sting established names to pop culture are gonna get the spot over the guys who should have it

 

[makeitvab]

Good points there Magic but I don't mind, it's the old bait and hook I think the phrase is.

TNA gets its 2 hour mark, hey that might make them seem like more of a contender, what they have sting and angle?

Non-viewers tune in for familiar faces, if they book x division well or hell just book a good show but was mainly talking about what hooked me into TNA...anyways people see the stuff thats new to them that wouldn't have made them tune in upon hearing of it, get amazed and bam! one more viewer.

Then word of mouth...etc...

I do feel it'll be sting as well, I predict alot of Joe/Cage breaking up each others pins and creating tension maybe something like Cage and joe focus on each other and chase each other out...which leaves AJ to get hooked into a submission/pinfall via sting.

It'd work twice as well if Cage and Joe took off while AJ was in the scorpion deathlock or whatever it's called, AJ is looking for Cage's help, sees him running off and ignoring him...there you set up Joe/cage for the No Surrender PPV and you also start to build up Cage/AJ a bit more.

[kieran_devlin]

Sting might win but then what about Abyss match? Sting and Abyss are really kinda partners and have been built up to be friends, would that mean Sting turns heel.

I couldnt see Christian winning at all.

Joe could win as he could win and then fuck everything up for Angle and deliberately lose the Tag Belts.

Lastly Aj could win and then get booted out of Christian coalition.

If Sting won it would conflict with the Abyss storyline.

I could see Abyss getting beat from interference from Mitchell's Son.

Angle will lose the x division tho as hes too good for that division think about it hed beat nearly everyone. Black Machismo with the upset win or interference from multiples.

 

[magic]

i don't think sting will be involved at all in the world champion match. abyss will look like he is aboutto win the match then ricky banderas(the real name of mitchel's son as i keep forgetting what he's wrestling under) will run. sting winning will set up a feud between angle and sting because sting will most likely not turn heel. and plus, the way they have been treating aj, who is my favorite wrestler as he was the one who hooked me into tna he will stay with the coalition a little longer

Angle has been pushing for Brock Lesner to be brought in and Lesner seems open to the idea assuming he can continue his MMA career....any chance that this could be Angle's partner? I doubt it but who knows. I also dont see Team 3D getting the belts since their contracts are up in mid september and they say publicly they arent going to resign...then again they could just be saying that...I doubt TNA wants to keep them though.

does anyone realize that an Angle vs. Abyss match will headline NS, and they haven't had any type of heat build up AT ALL. judging by recent Impacts after HJ, Abyss is feudong with Christain Cage, and Kurt Angle is feuding with the Steiner Brothers, and Jim Cornette. if it was over that angle and abyss hate each other, but abyss has the advantage because angle has to wrestle 2 times before abyss, angle could give up the tag and x titles. this would solve 2 things, 1. get the other titles off angle, and 2. build up the feud with abyss. but none of this is possible, because abyss and angle AREN'T FEUDING. if anyone in TNA wants to know why the PPV's do terrible buyrates, they need not watch the PPV's again, but study their Impact shows. it accomplishes nothing that a free wrestling TV show is supposed to. 1. it doesn't make people want to go to live shows, because tna doesn't show their live shows or dates, 2. it doesn't make you want to buy PPV's because they focus shows on storylines that aren't even culminating at the PPV.

is there a order where angle defends his belts? they could easily make abyss and his match first since there isnt much news around it. have the x-division 2nd then the tag team 3rd where him and (i hope aj styles) retain it and aj styles leaves the coalition. so in all he looses against abyss, to tired against black machismo and gets refreshed and with the help of aj styles wins the tag belts since pac man jones cant even wrestle?
