I mean at this point. Is this a joke? How can three guys like Pope, Joe and Roode, guys that you should center the whole company on get this result and they have Crimson and Gunner at the top. Is TNA pulling a joke on us? I'm not saying these two are completly devoid of talent but you're putting you're putting all your eggs on guys that are average at best. Crimson is just another big dude they want to re-creat the Goldberg phenom on, there's nothing incredible about the guy.

Yep, it's a joke. The joke's called TNA Wrestling but seriously though, this is a damn shame. Can't wait for Crimson vs. Mr. Anderson at Bound For Glory! Everybody will love that one...

would it make you feel better to know that Crimson is now in first with 24 points and Bully Ray went up to 14 points?
That's from the 7/2 house show so I don't think it's a spoiler?

well there is still time, so hopefully they are doing this purposely, so Joe or Pope can have a comeback towards the end to win it all. Probably wishful thinking

Hasn't Roode been injured, and therefore has been limited in his opportunities to procure points?

Pope has wrestled the most matches and hasn't scored any points.
f*** TNA or iMPACT Wrestling or whatever they're called.

The Bobby Roode one is explainable by the fact that he's injured, but yeah, the fact that Pope and Joe don't have ANY points, and yet sorry blank slates like Crimson and Gunner are in the lead is pretty depressing.

To be honest, I have no problems with Gunner and Crimson taking an early lead in the series, especially since the prize is a slot at the No Surrender 4-Way which determines the #1 Conteder. It make sense that the young lions would dominate at first. What I do wonder about is that they made point values for all possible outcomes, so could we see Crimson with 15 points ahead of everyone only for a cowardly heel like Bully Ray to interfere in a series match, and cause Crimson to to take -10 points, and get snubbed in the Four Way at No Surrender to increase Bully Ray's chances at taking the title. That would do well to set up a Hardcore style match against Crimson and Ray at BFG.

i'm still convinced Joe is being punished for something. he loses all the time, has ZERO points in the series, and came out and teased a triple threat match with AJ and Christopher Daniels which would make sense to redo the classic three way once again on the all X-Division PPV, but instead we get Styles vs. Daniels?? i'd rather see the three way tbh. it sounds more 'main eventy' to me.
i mean we all can kinda see Joe doesn't give a shit, i wonder if everyone else (in charge) feels the same way about him. and has for some time.

As I understood it, the Top 4 point getters face other in a 4 Man tournament (like last year's No Surrender: Angle vs. Hardy / Anderson vs. Pope). Winner of that goes on to BFG.
I think at least Roode will make a comeback from injury and procure one of the 4 spots.

5 matches and not even a single point, man. Pope needs some divine intervention.

WHAT DO THEY SEE IN GUNNER! I don't see it either dude, as don't many other people. (very understandably too) The homegrown TNA stars + Pope should be at the top IMHO, NOT guys like him and Crimson who just just bore the heck out of me. But yeah, the series is just depressing as f**k atm.

My money is still on Morgan winning the BFG tournament and winning the title at BFG. They have hyped him up "chasing his dream" far too much to cut short on it (although....this is TNA).
While Pope and Roode having no points does suck, I do like the actual concept of this. Makes the wins and losses actually mean something, which has been missing in wrestling for a long time.

Gunner is awesome and f*** Samoa Joe because a tourney like this could be used to put over someone new and not someone who could conceivably jump in the title scene since they've already been there.
Gunner FTW. Keep racking up the points.

I'm picturing Crimson sweeping through, winning the title, and having a rather long title reign. This'd be a horrible idea.

WHAT DO THEY SEE IN GUNNER! Nothing. He's simply a tool Bischoff and the rest are using to basically say "Oh, you want someone in the ME? Well here you go!" So that when he crashes and fails, they can go back to using Jeff Hardy because they're too stupid to have fired him the instant he stumbled into a main event match drugged up to his eyeballs.
