TNA SuperThread SPOILERS

Ah, that Playboy was a thing of beauty.

I miss the yearly WWE Playboy spreads.

Spoiler: Title Changes at TV Taping

Matt Hardy def. EC3 for the TNA World Title.

They did a double swap here too, with Hardy turning heel and EC3 babyface. Tyrus assisted Hardy in winning the title.

Also, Shane Helms challenged Tigre Uno to face a challenger of his choosing for the X-Division Title. Helms chose Trevor Lee, who won the title.

They also did their annual "Feast or Fired" match. Briefcase winners were:

Spoiler: Briefcase Wankers

- Grado
- Drew Galloway
- James Storm
- Eli Drake

My guesses are:
- Fired
- World Title
- Tag Titles
- X Title

Spoiler: TNA Spoilers

I didn't think it was possible but TNA somehow out-did the WWE and booked a worse tournament. Four months of television, just so they could execute a double turn on a taped show? Why TNA, just why?

I've got to get used to the spoiler tags on LU again. :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

I wonder how well the man in question's schtick will translate as a babyface?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Been so long since I watched TNA that the spoilers just do my head in.

Is it even available in Australia anymore?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

TNA are running a poll for which local UK wrestler to add to their UK tour. The options are:

- Big Damo (meh)
- Jimmy Havoc (cool)
- Will Osprey (very cool)

Nope

 

[Misanthrope]

Can't say I know any of them

Ospreay has worked a lot of PWG as of late. Great talent, had a MotYC with Matt Sydal on one of the Rev Pro/NJPW shows last year. I reckon you'd like him Mis.

I'm just gutted Joe Hendry didn't get a look in.

Check out YouTube, Havoc was the long term heel champion of a company called PROGRESS, while Osprey is the babyface that beat him for the title.

TJ Perkins (Manik) has been released. Very surprised by that one, since he had been featured heavily on social media and online after the break-up of The Revolution.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

TNA took the "f**k it" approach to their UK talent poll, and now all 3 guys (Osprey, Havoc, and Damo) will be on the TNA UK Tour.

LOL TNA. Tape weeks in advance and then act all important. Bush league amateur nonsense fed that needs to go off into the sunset

I'd hate to be the booking committee. In the weeks between running the show and televising it they would be off their heads in disbelief at how many more turns and swerves they thought up in the interim.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

TNA's big issue at the moment is that, outside of the Heavyweight Title and Tag Title picture, they are very light on talent. Bringing in guys like Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett is a great first step to rebuilding the undercard, but there is a lot of work needed to be done there.

For as much as TNA get ragged on for their booking, it hasn't been too bad the last few months.

I was thinking this. The majority of the comments above reflect TNA booking about 6+ months ago.

 

[Tigers1986]

They must get paid millions every time they do Kim vs Kong

 

[Misanthrope]

The TNA team are gonna be salty today.

Styles debuts despite their protestations and is immediately treated like a bigger star than he was treated for much of his TNA career.
