TNA forgets to book roughly 35 matches in BFG Series

[Warner2BruceTD]

Lagana backtracking & bullshitting:



Some guys have as many as 9 matches, other guys have as few as 6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bound_f...ry_Series#2013). No way they even this out at the tapings, as they already stated they are only doing four more matches. This is bullshit anyway, Lagana has earlier tweets stating it's round robin that he deleted.

What a fucking shit show. Yes, it's only a silly wrestling show, but fuck man, these little details should be the easy part.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I think its funny that Lagana says "its not a round robin!"...I mean, how does the BFG Series make sense if it isn't. You have guys that are in less matches than others. How dumb does he expect people to be?

If it was supposed to be round robin format and they fucked it up...they are dumb.
If its not supposed to be round robin format...they are still dumb.

I would argue that this isn't a little detail, its a pretty big, important detail to one of their biggest selling points.

They have been having less house shows than they were a year ago, IIRC. One of the big issues here, is they didn't plan, but they could have done a lot better with these if the entire house show cards they were running were full if BFG matches. Maybe they'd actually get more than 500 people to come to a house show. Instead of having AJ Styles v. Kurt Angle for the 5000th time, maybe you could have had a few of these BFG matches that mean something.

Another issue I'm sensing is that with them going on the road, they aren't often having talent wrestle more than once at a taping. So, every Impact taping only has a talent wrestling once...big problem as it also shortens your schedule to get all of these matches done.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The fact that they didn't have every single match booked right from the start speaks volumes. Every match should have been laid out with a date before the thing even started. It's obvious they were winging it from the beginning, which is really, really eye opening as to how disorganized and sloppy this operation is.

Then to flat out lie and claim it isn't round robin, is pathetic. He said in another tweet that everybody would have the same amount of matches, which is also false and impossible at this point. Which proves he is lying.

Fuck Lagana ...

Fuck Lagana ...

He's truly shown his ass in the past few years. I use to be a huge fan of his, I talked to him personally many times, helped him out with some UFC/Brock promotion at a WWE Raw show awhile back, but good lord has he burned some bridges over the last few years.

Between trying to out his friends as CrankyVince to get a job back with WWE to what Court Bauer describes as him and Bruce Pritchard just totally stealing TNA money to go on creative "retreats". Insane. This is inexcusable for anyone. Booking a tournament should be the easiest thing you do as evidenced by Warner. You plan it all out months in advance and you're good to go.

Clown college.

As a fan of TNA in the earlier years this really disappoints me. How can one promotion fuck so much shit up? Problem is if this promotion dies thats it. WWE won't have competition probably ever again. It's too bad. In retrospect i feel dumb for buying their weekly model PPVs back in the early 00's.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

And, for more lulz...

Magnus will miss the show tonight, and as a result, miss two matches...one versus Jeff Hardy and the other versus Hernandez (for Xplosion)...so they'll put Hardy and Hernandez in a match and leave Magnus with 39 points.

Honestly, WWE not having competition is not really as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I seriously doubt they considered TNA to be competition anyway

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

LOL @ the WWE considering TNA competition.

[Leftwich]

Never said they were, they could have been had they followed a different path in previous years.

You would be shocked at the amount of indie guys I have spoken to or corresponded with that consider ROH the #2 promotion and the next step in their career progression.

Not only does TNA not pursue indie talent, but even when they do, often times there isn't interest from the other side.

With ROH slowly expanding it's footprint it's only a matter of time before it clearly overtakes TNA

With the new big format developmental system the WWE is putting together, getting THERE is going to be a goal of a lot of guys...if the quickest way there is to start working ROH, ROH will quickly be, if they already aren't, the defacto #2 because its the stepping stone to get to the WWE, whose development system is going to essentially be, a big Florida Indy by this time, next year, once they expand the roster a little more, put more "house show" dates, etc. which are supposedly in the works.

TNA is going to be the place you go on the way down or if the WWE doesn't want you. That's not a bad situation to be in considering if you look at the roster now. I mean, TNA has a nice roster. But booking a good product is a whole other issue.

[Bigpapa42]

This company is just unbelievably shit at this point. They don't produce much for quality wrestling anymore, which is a shame given some of the talent they have on the roster. The storylines are mundane at best. and shit like this is inexcusable.

TNA needs to go the way of WCW at this point.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

And now, Sting gets a title shot when he lost a match like 3 months ago that stated he could never get another title shot if he lost?
