Something TNA Did Well

Post by Big Red Machine » Mar 20th, '11, 08:18

No. I haven't gone soft, or been mind-controlled by Vince Russo. I just want to give credit where credit is due.

GREAT job by TNA at setting up the Victory Road card. When I was doing pick'ems for the World Title match and #1 contenders match, I had NO IDEA who to pick because EVERY permutation made sense:
Anderson vs. Sting for the Title, RVD vs. Jeff
Anderson had jumped Sting on Impact and Anderson wants his rematch, so Anderson vs. Sting for the Title would make sense. And RVD finally gets Jeff 1-on-1 in a cage, no interference.

Anderson vs. Jeff for the title, RVD vs. Sting
Anderson and Jeff have been feuding, and that match would give Anderson his rematch. RVD vs. Sting doesn't make as much sense, but TNA's logic would be "RVD + STING + CAGE MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!! That will get people to buy this PPV!"

RVD vs. Jeff for the title, Sting vs. Anderson
RVD finally gets his hands on Jeff, and finally gets a shot at regaining the belt he never lost. Anderson still isn't given the rematch he deserves, freeing him up to turn even more heelish on the babyface Sting, who he jumped on Impact

RVD vs. Sting for the title, Jeff vs. Anderson
RVD gets the chance to regain the belt that he never lost, and TNA's logic from above still applies, while Anderson and Jeff have their blowoff, letting Anderson become a full-blown heel in pursuit of the title shot he deserves, but isn't being given.

In their defense, they expected Jeff Hardy to not show up high.
And its not that the Anderson-RVD draw doesn't make sense. It could set up a three way or four way match.

i think the best thing tna has done is that they bring the old free style wrestling back. which is forgotten by WWE.

What do you mean by "free style?"
