Oh of course. Saying we've run out of PPV time and we'll settle this on impact is just lame. Let's just rely on a ruling that garentees a win IN OTHER FUCKING COMBAT SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or have Abyss "attack" Hardy and get Angle dq'ed. You can keep Angle around that way.

Which is exactly what TNA did honestly. They had Angle/Hardy do another match that next Impact and made it a time limit draw where Bischoff made em both 1# contenders.

And TNA again is "not real life" like UFC , MMA and any other combat sports . Hell its a company where they have a woman sign her company over by accident and gloat on TV about it.

You could have done this sure. Or do a final time limit draw. Either way TNA isn't real life. Its not a combat sport and it basically stopping a match and declaring it a draw to blood loss was the way they got out of it.

Hell they had Hardy/Angle work a singles match the next Impact. So they could have done a match there. (but they let a time limit draw happen there though)

No, I'm not liking it because it's a convoluted, overcomplicated mess that is shoving a bunch of people I don't want to see in the spotlight in the spotlight. Plot holes or no plot holes, it's dumb. I don't care how much the swerves are "explained" because even if all the holes are filled it's still freaking stupid. This entire storyline is more about being "shocking" than it is about being a good storyline. The entire angle basically tells us that this faction did a whole bunch of convoluted things, and didn't act on things that could have made their plans go more smoothly, all so they could have their big swerve moment on a specific date. It's dumb as hell, and complicated for the sake of being complicated.

Oh yeah, Spoony made another great point: Eric defrauded Dixie on live, national television. It would be pathetically easy for Dixie to get her company back.

And yes, I know wrestling isn't actually real. But it's real to the CHARACTERS. It is PRESENTED as real, in context. In CONTEXT, Eric awarding the win to Hardy via blood stoppage would make perfect, logical sense AND not be suspicious AND help Eric achieve his goal of getting Hardy the belt. What does NOT make logical sense is Eric giving Angle chance after chance after chance to ruin his plans. And if your only response to this is that it would be an anticlimactic ending for the Kurt retirement angle, then I say TNA should not have booked themselves into a corner with it in the first place.

So sayeth you....explain how smoothly things would go.

Great ...he's another Lance Storm. Ya know the whole him saying Christian could have Abyss arrested for breaking into his house. Where are the cops ?!!!

ITS MAKE BELIEVE ....ITS A STORYLINE.

Its not real. Hell..I joked about it above with Royal about Dixie. To cite how NOT REAL it is.

Its not real. Why cite someone claiming how in real life Dixie could not lose her company ? Because hell last we saw its not real and its all storylines etc etc.

Plus its been explained. Dixie would have became suspicious if Bischoff handed Hardy the win at a blood stoppage. She would have reversed that decision. Hell he was ready to name Hardy and Angle both 1# contenders to get him to BFG.

But Dixie stopped that at 1st. Then they did the time limit draw as we saw to get there.

The whole "THEM" thing is Russo booking like Russo.

It's an overly book mess that comes off as a swerve purely for the same of a swerve.

I think there are reasons why nWo and even Nexus work while this thing so far isn't... it's all coming off as random. Why are these guys together? Why are they buddies with Fortune? It's rushed and forced.

For all the time they had to build this up, I'm surprised it feels that way. All this stuff with Sting talking about deception and what not... but we're just not getting any sort of satisfying pay off from it.

I haven't watched RAW in weeks (beyond the clip a few weeks back) have they ever decided what Nexus is after really ...now 5 months in ? Power ? RAW ? Cena ?

Barrett is wrestling for the title Sunday. It started out to prove they belong after shit they went through on NXT. Now they humilate Cena.... and it is awesome.
