Why Daniels? Hes a HEEL. Joe's whole rant talked up all the babyfaces. MCMG, Lethal, and so on. Because Daniels has been buried for the last few months. Fortuantely, if his shoot promo on his last ROH appearance is to be believed, he's still paid well.

Based on Joe's speech, it sounded like it was going to be Abyss. Eric Young fits the bill, but his character is just a bit goofy for being in such a worked shoot like this. They cheat and use interference to win while wrestling babyfaces, and Daniels does a promo calling everyone watching it waste. But I suppose thats not heelish at all.

Honestly I don't really remember the last match Triple X has been in that wasn't "anything goes" so you might be right. And yeah that promo was heelish I guess.
But yeah, I don't see why it would matter much. The match was already teaming two guys who now hate each other in Joe/Nash... and bringing in a "heel" who also feels Hall is a bitch for no showing and all that would help with the "omg it's a shoot" nature.
Overall, they did just about the best they could with writing a story involving the no show.
Unless it's ALL a work, then it's just retarded.

Had Hall legit no-showed the event, TNA would have stuck someone much bigger than Eric Young in the main event. If this is legit, and Hall has jumped to the WWE (which is doubtful), TNA had enough time to save the situation. A reshoot could have been done, giving a reason as to why Hall wouldn't be apperaing. Even easier, a statement could have been placed on the TNA website.

If its an angle this is some WCW Bait and Switch Bullsh*t
they baited you into buying the PPV thinking you were going to see the Outsiders again and then they switch it to Eric Young as part of an angle? psssh

if Hall really no-showed, something might be seriously wrong....the last time someone no-showed a PPV it was Chris Benoit. Im not trying to speculate or anything I am just simply stating the facts. Wow, you really typed that didn't you. Seriously. Please, play in traffic. And you don't do this again either.

I still don't get why this couldn't have been a perfect opportunity for them to hotshot Chris Harris into it. I know he's in this weird heelish place, but HIS CHARACTER IS PRACTICALLY BEGGING FOR AN CHANCE LIKE THIS! Wouldn't it make sense to give it to him, then have Joe get the duke, and then Harris can go back to complaining about losing his shot because Joe pinned whoever, and not him.
And if you're going to have EY in the main event, why not have him get a legit pin and really elevate him.

Now if he legit no-showed, then fine, but baiting and switching, f*** that.

Maybe Hall sobered up and, after the hangover, realized, "Oh S***! I'm in TNA!?" Hey, I'm not saying anything you weren't thinking already.

Yeah well, I guess if Hall legit no-showed then theres nothing TNA can do, but it seems like an angle, especially since Joe was badmouthing Hall on camera to Nash before the match.....I feel scammed for not getting the main event I paid for. Not one of TNAs better PPVs

Feast or Fired pisses me off cause it's obvious:
World: BG James Tag: Petey Williams X-Division: Scott Steiner Fired: Senshi
It's blatantly obvious.

I was thinking about not buying it because of them.

Not one of TNAs better PPVs Right, I agree with that. If it was a legit no show. At least TNA had Joe put over all of our favorite babyfaces in a promo and then got another young guy in the main event. Im perfectly fine with it if Hall actually didnt show.
