I for one was very excited to see Cornette make this announcement on last week's impact. Getting some fresh blood into the title scene and what not. I think if they do this correctly, it could be a great thing for TNA. The title scene has gotten quite a bit stale as of late and a shake up is exactly what I think the company needs.
So far we have Kurt Angle in the King of the Mountain. I understand this as it wouldn't be right to "strip" the guy of the belt and not put him in this match. I for one just hopes he doesn't win the title....not right now anyway.
I hope we see a pairing of something along the lines of Angle, Joe, A.J. Styles, Chris Harris, and Christian in this match. Not a huge mix-up but it would get Styles back in the picture and Harris in the picture, since it appears that he and Storm might be finished feuding for the moment. With this combination you could see a match list the next few weeks something along the lines of this:
Sting-Samoa Joe (already booked if I'm not mistaken)
A.J. Styles-Christopher Daniels (have not seen this match in awhile)
Chris Harris-James Storm (culmination of their feud)
Christian-Jarrett (this would be the most sensible if Jarrett doesn't take an extended break because of what happened with his wife)
Now if you have the pairing of above you could see Joe winning the title and then have Angle scream about getting screwed by TNA and Cornette. This leading to some sort of confrontation with Cornette and Jim saying he would make Angle's life a living hell. Putting him against insurmountable odds each week before getting a title shot.
In the meantime have Joe feuding with A.J. Styles over the title, seeing some classics from them once again. Having them feud for awhile with Joe holding on, setting up another Joe-Angle program which is always going to be good for some great matches.
For Sting you can see him and Daniels begin their program starting at Slammiversary and going on for awhile. Seeing this new version of Daniels shine through, although psychotically, something like Raven from a few years back.
For Chris Harris I say throw him in a feud with Robert Roode. See which guy can rise to the top and make it to the next level. I think this would be a great program between the two. Both have personality and this could be a good feud.
Have Jeff Jarrett in some type of feud with James Storm. They have a past together from Planet Jarrett and you could play that up. Storm could say that Jarrett has got soft and forgot what his direction should be.
In the X-division I would have Lethal finally win the X-division title and have Sabin move on to a tag team with Alex Shelly. This would be an amazing pairing and would give Lethal time to shine. Possibly have him start his feud with Sonjay or Petey Williams or both. Could you imagine the 3-way dance matches we could see out of these 3.
For the tag teams I say you have a one and out match with Team 3-D and the Steiners, culminating at Slammiversary with 3-D retaining the titles. Then you could possibly see a face turn by the Steiners and have them feud with L.A.X. over a number one contender's spot. For 3-D's next opponents you could see the next team of Sabin and Shelly start feuding with 3-D and have them take the titles from 3-D eventually.
Abyss can feud with Mitchell's new project, possibly Banderas. For this program to be a hit we need to see a return of Mitchell to his more psychotic state and not the soap opera antics that we've seen with bringing Abyss' mother in and saying that Abyss shot his father, blah blah blah.
Eric Young can be Eric Young, possibly have him in a feud with someone like Austin Starr if he returns or Senshi.
VKM....well hopefully they'll drop off the face of the Earth, just my opinion.
With some of these programs even more I think you would see a more rejuvinated product and this would definately fill two hours of programming if they get to this point until the addition of possibly Sabu and RVD. What do you guys think of this plan. Any suggestions.
