{Spoiler}Wasn't Morgan also the guy who put Hernandez out with a boot to the head into a ring post and then gloated about it? Now he's concerned about concussions though . . . . .ok. He mentions that in these spoilers, actually. He mentions it, but it still doesn't make any sense. But of course that's Russo booking. He was praising on giving a star a "concussion," but now he's all sad about it? Nope.

What's the problem here? Eric Bischoff is a dick, of course he wants to make someone wrestle one of his boys while he's at a double disadvantage. Anderson doesn't wrestle so no harm, no foul right?

I think these spoilers are giving me a concussion.....or at least a headache. They're physically hurting me at any rate

{Spoiler}So Matt Morgan turns face, over what is basically tantamount to exploiting Chris Benoit? Damn. that was a helluva stretch and you basically just outted yourself as not being a football fan. The show looks solid IMO.

I guess Ill go ahead and be "that guy" again.
Whats disgusting about it? Its not like he ended up wrestling anyway, and Jarrett stomped away at his head all match. Theyre using something thats big in sports culture right now to make the heels look like total jerks.

Theyre using something thats big in sports culture right now to make the heels look like total jerks. I just don't find it heelish, I find it disgusting. I mean to sit there and have one of your top figures (on and off camera) basically go "Concussion don't matter" what with it being a major story in sports (and the whole Benoit thing and his father now making his presence known again) makes the whole thing ...it doesn't make me want to boo or see them get theirs, it makes me see them as uneducated, and uncaring and not want to watch. I really don't know how to put it other than that.

Theyre using something thats big in sports culture right now to make the heels look like total jerks. because there are some people who hang out here just to bash TNA. I wonder if the WWE forum is as loosely moderated as this one? I mean, can I just camp out on that forum and rag them 24/7?

Maybe first read through the thread and second, any issues you have with the us can be taken up via PMs or AskAMod in off topic.

A Last Rites Match? Again!? I guess the "Fire Russo" chants fell on deaf ears.
Morgan turning so suddenly is really puzzling, if it's not a swerve.

I really don't know how to put it other than that. Exactly what I think. TNA from what I read into it either comes off as either A. Insensitive, B. Stupid, C. Uncaring, D. Dangerous, E. Disgusting or F. All of the above. Especially knowing what we're beginning to find out in cases like Andrew Martin and Exodia the Forbidden One, I don't find this entertaining, I don't think of it as heel heat. I think if anything it's insulting at best, downright reprehensable at worst.

I really don't know how to put it other than that. Fair enough, I just think its a great heel move, just like putting Anderson in Ultimate X with a bum arm (yes, i realize the difference in a concussion and the arm injury). But then again, Ive always been one to just let everything rest with the characters, rather than bringing it to whoevers in charge. I remember there being a lot of speculation around WrestleMania 23 about Vince entering a storyline where he had cancer, and while a lot of people were disgusted at the idea (which I didnt get, since there are fictional illnesses in like, every movie and TV show ever made, but thats a different discussion), I thought it would be interesting to see how they did it, and if it turned out to be a huge McMahon heel hoax to try and draw sympathy to himself. I loved that idea. Dont know if im properly describing what im trying to get through or not, but there you have it.

They didn't actually say it was a Last Rites match, it seems like just a casket match or he was just using it as a metaphor & at least they didn't have Anderson wrestle in the end.

The show looks solid IMO. I'm not a football fan. I can't claim to know or care what's going on with the NFL at any point in time.

So.....a storyline based around concussions now. Awesome. TNA just keeps scraping new depths for itself to crawl to.

If people actually go to WWE's threads, you will see that we hate on some things there. The difference is, on most peoples minds including mine, WWE has been better than TNA, hence the less of "hate" on them. TNA, for the past couple weeks and it seems this week, has been consistently bad. Sorry if that doesn't work to ya'lls equations.
You want to know why this angle is bad? Not only do you have a random face turn ONCE AGAIN, you have a guy who gave a concussion to a wrestler kayfabe, and gloated about it. I think it was during this year as well. Hernandez. And now HIM, of all people, wants to stop it? How about Douglas Williams? He's the more awkward guy in Fortune.
And not only that, they keep bringing concussions up left and right throughout the iMPACT it seems. Not only does that seem annoying and makes me want to punch Morgan (who is now clearly a face which I shouldn't want to punch a face), it is just flat-out annoying.
Forget the NFL. Forget Benoit. It's just a stupid booking decision, once again, on TNA's behalf.
A) makes no sense B) random face turn again when Morgan has no need to turn face and C) it's annoying
So SORRY but tough cookie. Til TNA wants to actually do things right, you will constantly hear berating on these threads.

I can't claim to know or care what's going on with the NFL at any point in time. Well, the big thing the NFL is going through the last two weeks are about helment-to-helmet shots that cause serious concussions. If TNA is deciding to push this angle because of that, then I can kind of see why. I personally don't agree with it but whatever. Still though, I just don't agree with having TNA's management - even if its kayfabe - taking concussions lightly. Its become such a huge deal the last few years that I still feel that its one of the those "don't go there" places in pro wrestling, largely because of what happened with Benoit. Beyond that though, I'm confused as to why Morgan suddenly cares now. Hasn't Eric Young been running like an idiot because he got a serious concussion that knocked him loopy?
