You guys care way too much about someone who has very minimal TV time. Anyway, a good move. Obviously they felt Brooke's cross over appeal wasn't worth it. Who will the Nepotism rants be about now? Garrett? Or, we're all glad TNA finally acknowledged that Brooke's alleged crossover appeal wasn't worth it. And are you really going to try and say Brooke Hogan wasn't a focal point of the show? She was hardly a focal point. Most of the time she had a few minutes of TV time a week. She was a big part of Bully turning heel thing but even then she played second fiddle to Bully and Hulk. I'm not really a Brooke fan but I don't hate her either. She's kind of "eh" for me although I never did understand why the Knockouts needed their own authority figure.

I think the Sabin World Title run is proof that guys like Daniels or other skinny guys can't really be successful World Champions in TNA.
Unless you are amazing on the mic you really do need a body. It wasn't realistic for Sabin to be beating Bully and even a guy like AJ Styles dwarfs him.
I am surprised at how quickly FAN turned on the guy though.

So without going through the thread, is this a show worth watching? It was a good show, best match was the opener worst match was the Knockouts but even the Knockouts match was "average" so definitely a "must watch"

RVD is right. His match quality is the result of who he works with. There is a difference working with good talent in the WWE versus the bush league guys in TNA. Most TNA wrestlers are not even up NXT level let alone WWE standards. Not sure if serious...

I don't see how it's a "lol@tna" moment except for the fact people want to jump all over TNA. The way I see it, AJ turned his back on TNA but still loved TNA. TNA is still HIS company the company HE helped build the company that made him famous. He still loves that company. Aces and Eights are trying to destroy the company he helped build up. TNA is at a low point and the Main Event Mafia need a guy to help them save TNA. Enter AJ Styles. Now we get AJ tearing through Aces and Eights before finally ending the group at TNA Bound For Glory. Dude. Stop. Stop telling us how we feel and why we react the way we do to things. You're not cute, you're not clever, and you're not omnipotent. I'll react the way I feel and I won't have you explain to why I feel feelings.

So what happened to Sabin? Is he now dropped from the world title scene? I'd assume so, the dude flopped massively on top of TNA.

Yes basically my point is how come people don't have complaints about it when they do it? I mean the WWE hasn't been without a stable for a long period of time in years nor has ROH. Every company does the stable thing it isn't a huge deal. It isn't as rampant or to the forefront there, when it goes on, which isn't as often as TNA. This is a thread on the TNA board, I'm talking about TNA here. Okay, Well in answer to your OP 1. Jarrett, AMW and Gail Kim never were trying to take over TNA. They just wanted to keep Jarrett on top of TNA 2. Kings Of Wrestling were never trying to take over TNA. They just felt Jarrett being on top was best for everyone 3. Team Canada. They felt Canadian athletes were best, never tried to take over TNA 4. 3 Live Kru were just dudes who wanted to hang out and have fun. Never tried to take over TNA. 5. The Beautiful People. Just girls who knew they were hot. Never tried to take over TNA. 6. Diamonds In The Rough. Stable about building guys up to eventually become a stable of champions. Never tried to take over TNA. 7. E.G.O. Current stable that are about dominating but not taking over 8. Main Event Mafia 2013. Current stable that want to simply end Aces and Eights. 9. Sertonin. Group dedicated to simply making Raven happy. Never wanted to take over TNA 10. The Front Line. Wanted to fight off Main Event Mafia didn't want to take over TNA. I'm sure there's several others I'm missing also. 2 babyface stables in there but there's still 8 heel stables who didn't want to take over.

You're right Rob, AJ Styles, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, Chris Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Magnus, Samoa Joe and the rest of the TNA Roster are a bunch of untalented nobodies and you just can't be motivated working with them.
What a jerk off, why not just admit his matches sucked in TNA because he's lazy and took advantage of TNA's good will in exchange for a pay cheque?

WWE and ROH always have stables also. Where is there "Stables are old" thread? This isn't WWE or ROH discussion.. Yes basically my point is how come people don't have complaints about it when they do it? I mean the WWE hasn't been without a stable for a long period of time in years nor has ROH. Every company does the stable thing it isn't a huge deal. As for a time TNA didn't do a "take over" angle. Jeff Jarrett, AMW and Gail Kim in 05 come to mind. They wanted to dominate the company but not control it.

{Spoiler}Spoiler Looks like a good show. I actually suggested a couple weeks back that TNA do the AJ thing. I'm glad they did it that way.
Mega push of Bad Influences is getting old already though.

Yeah it was a pretty sweet swerve I thought they were going to wait until next week for the swerve but doing it this week was a nice surprise.

What about in the entertainment field? Jennifer Aniston is filming a movie right now. If she just got pregnant and left the production midway through would that be okay? Some movies actually have done that they either shoot from a distance. Halle Berry was pregnant while doing one of the X Men movies But it's possible to work around it. Halle Berry didn't have to leave within the athletics entertainment field she HAS to leave.

Pro's:
- All matches except the Knockouts were really done well
- Bully Ray becoming champion again is great and a sign TNA should never push guys that small again
- Tito turning on Rampage almost immediately was a nice twist and unexpected.
Cons:
- No Hogan
- Too much Bad Influence but willing to see how it goes with their push.
- TNA making us think Tito would be involved in the 5 on 5 match.

In the majority of jobs, the idea that "You should wait to have your child because we've got a big project coming up at work!" would get you a raised eyebrow at least and more than likely a worse response than that. What about in the entertainment field? Jennifer Aniston is filming a movie right now. If she just got pregnant and left the production midway through would that be okay?
