TNA forgets to book roughly 35 matches in BFG Series

[Leftwich]

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

I thought they were trying some massive troll attempt, but nope, it was Sting. Maybe trying to give him one last run with the strap before he departs for his Wrestlemania moment?

Due to a visa or passport issue, Magnus arrived late to Cleveland and missed the show that aired tonight, but I believe he did arrive in Cleveland later. This won't affect him going forward.

Jay Bradley beat Joseph Park for 7 points on the 8/28 Xplosion. One problem. That match had already happened on the 8/1 edition of Impact, with Joseph Park beating Jay Bradley for 7 points.

Also, this:

June 27th - House Show:
Samoa Joe defeated Bobby Roode by [Submission] (yet to be acknowledged)
Magnus defeated Hernandez by [Pinfall]

Joe vs Roode, the match that happened but then *POOF* disappeared.

TNA FUCKING SUCKS, GROAN ME DERRVILLE

 

[FedEx227]

I haven't seen Derrville here in awhile so I thought I'd fill in with a groan.

I think my next peice is going to be: whats worse WCW 2000 or 2013 TNA? Way too many god damn similarities.

TNA has advertised Bully Ray vs. A.J. Styles tonight in Woodstock, VA for the title as the main event. If you remember, there was a TV match a year ago where Styles couldn't get another title shot at the big belt which was the catalyst for his new character that went nowhere. The year isn't up.

TNA.

Worst Promotion of the Year? Is it locked up?

Other contenders..

All Japan - Half of the roster quit, and they are running four & five match shows to empty houses. See puro thread for a dreadful attendance pic from the last major show. On the flip side, two guys who stayed, SUWAMA & Go Shiozaki, are in the midst of a feud of the year runner up contender (nothing is beating Brock/Punk, you would think) with awesome matches over the Triple Crown, so at least they have that.

NOAH - Half of the roster quit, and booooring. But, at least they work hard and KENTA is having reasonably decent matches as champion.

AAA - Nobody saw TripleMania due to the iPPV disaster, and Jeff Jarrett was on top in 2013. Positives? They do reasonably well at the gate and nothing has been offensive or embarrassing aside from the TripleMania mess.

Last year's contenders...

ROH - Still couldn't get iPPV right, but in ring aside from SCUM they have had a really good year. Not a contender.

NWA - No longer promoting dead wrestlers in New Jersey or burning bridges with top stars. Good bounce back year with Rob Conway on top, partnership with New Japan, and eliminating affiliates that do stupid shit, like the group from New Jersey. Champions are workhorses like Conway, Killer Elite Squad, Damian Wayne, etc. Not a contender.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Who am I kidding, TNA has to be the worst. Dreadful booking, in financial peril, can't draw, no great matches all year long. At least the other groups have had some good matches.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

It is TNA and its not even close.

CHIKARA has to be in the mix, but TNA puts them to shame.

Good call on Chikara. Forgot all about them.
