was this week so good it made up for the trash that feud was the two weeks before that?
I didn't think the feud was trash, but then again I like Matt Morgan, Flair and Fortune. It got off to a rocky start for sure but I like think it's gotten a lot better when they limited the Hogan/Bischoff aspect and limited to just Morgan and Fortune. And considering how much I've raged and shit on the show over how they set things up, the Matt Morgan/Jeff Hardy feud is actually getting somewhat compelling so I'm giving them props for actually getting something right. It's been simple and clean booking for the most part.
1. Jeff Hardy gives Ken Anderson a concussion.
2. Morgan objects with Immortal for mocking Anderson forcing him to wrestle with a concussion.
2. Morgan leaves Fortune and challenges for a title.
4. Morgan nearly beats Hardy for the belt, but loses to ref shenanigans.
5. Immortal feels threat of losing stroke with a Hardy defeat, so they have Morgan's former group to try and trip him up.
6. Morgan clears one of their obstacles every week, winning a chance to choose his guest referee at the PPV along the way.
7. Morgan teases legitimate selections for his guest ref, but he's finally looks to be in trouble and Jeff Hardy attempts to give a concussion but Ken Anderson finally returns to save him and he's given the position after a really good promo.
The whole storyline feels so out of place on because it's actually logical and consistent instead of the constant overload of gimmick match/shenanigans/backstage brawling that they do and hope something sticks. That in general has gotten ridiculous at this point. Brawling is all Samoa Joe, The Pope, and the broads have been doing these past few weeks and it just makes me weary and incapable of actually caring about any of them.
Now could all this good will I'm having simply be the result of a feud winning the tallest midget contest? Most likely. It's not that great of story and is basically a holdover feud until one of big names get ready, but it doesn't take away the fact that's still been well executed, especially for TNA. Morgan's gotten over as a face, nobody has been made to look like an absolute joke and Jeff Hardy hasn't tarnished his heel status because of the sheep in the Impact Zone.
However, this compliment could go right in the trash after their PPV, where they have a tendency to swerve and ruin everything.
