Hold up I thought Sting couldn't fight Bully for the belt anymore if I'm not mistaken. :dwillhuh:

That was the stip!! :scusthov: @ the struggle clusterfukk that is TNA.

maybe thats how Bully will get out of it next week or am I giving TNA too much credit :yeshrug:

Everytime I see this gif I just remember the episode of Tosh.0 when Daniel had that dude, Ted DiBiase and Koko B. Ware on the show clowning.

I've got a headache after watching TNA. That's no exaggeration. I can't recall having to think so much watching a wrestling show ever. At least when Russo was around his bullshyt was fairly obvious in what was wrong with it. All you had to do was roll your eyes. The Bound For Glory series done my fukking head in watching that. I had no idea what was going on. Not a fukking clue. They explained it so badly, I have no idea what an average viewer unaware of Dave Lagana's tweet during the week must have thought. Anyone who defends this should be set on fire. There's really no excuse for this to be so confusing. Magnus wasn't there, even though he's in the lead and it was supposed to be the final night. AJ Styles finished outside the Champions League places. He needed a submission win and won by pinfall. But he gets another chance next week. Not like he knew that. There's a gauntlet for 20 points in the BFG series, so this isn't the final night of it. Again my head was banging listening to all this information. The Aces and 8s were splitting up as well, because Bully isn't voting on things anymore. Hulk Hogan got Brooke and Bully divorced without him signing anything or some shyt. And Hogan announced two title matches. In a fortnight Bully Ray vs an Aces and 8s member (Mr Anderson probably). And next week Sting vs Bully Ray for the belt. Sting lost a match at Slammiversary where they made a huge song and dance about him NEVER GETTING ANOTHER TITLE SHOT. EVER. They've just completely forgot about it. Like they completely forgot about the ReferEYE cam. Like they forgot about the TV title being defended every week. Like they forgot about the 3 ways in the X Division. Like they forgot to tell us the BFG series isn't a round robin. Either that or Hogan just fukked up. But even if he did, you'd think they would stress to him that its not a title match. The fact nobody knows if its Hogan or TNA that is to blame says a lot really. It was just a mess this week. Like really bad. Zero quality control.

And that was the good stuff. The worst thing on the show was the PipeBomb~ promo from AJ Styles. AJ's big babyface turn was followed by the worst promo of the year. This must go down as a famous promo. It truly was something special. He ticked every box when it comes to shoot promos. Shoot names? Check. Slagging off the boss? Definitely. Rebelling against the system? Quite. Talking to Mike Tenay as if he's out of bounds? Of course. Referencing WWE wrestlers? Indeed. The crowd shyt on this in great fashion. He tried to rally the troupes by slagging off either Daniel Bryan or CM Punk. "I'm better than the best in the world. I'm Phenomenal". This got a mix of silence and boos. When he began speaking again, he got loud "YES" chants trying to drown him out. He spoke about Claire Lynch and Dixie Carter, to which one bloke shouted "let it go AJ. That was years ago". The promo ended with fans chanting "wrap it up". A remarkable promo in so many ways. A massive misfire and they've went and murdered AJ again the week after breathing life into him.

Worst thing is, there was some decent wrestling on the show. Its such a shame the wrestlers efforts aren't rewarded. All we have to look forward to in the few weeks is a tournament nobody cares about. Sting vs Bully Ray and Mr Anderson or Mike Knox vs Bully Ray. Christ. Chris Sabin has disappeared it seems. Nobody was there either. The building looked empty. You could see the lights on the wall on the hard camera.
