The gauntlet and Joe/Bully was ok..Hogan "quitting" was the main event. Dixie invited him to 'ride the Dixie Train' before that. I yelled for him to have a prenup to the amusement of me..no one really heard that though. From last nights Impact thread: Hulk going to get in line to ride the Dixie train. Coincidence or is TNA secretly using my posts for script writing purposes? <Dramatic Music> |

I can't with Hogan. if he is going to leave, and he believes in the company, he could at least put Dixie over by having her berate him. The funny thing is that she probably has no clue that she was just bury to send off Hulk Hogan.

It was a ghost town by second show's end. Considering the entire upper half of the arena was blacked out, and the entire left side was empty before that, it was pretty depressing really.

I think the Magnus/Sting thing is about Magnus losing confidence so Sting challenges him to a match at BFG knowing that, kayfabe wise, it's probably the biggest match of Magnus' career. It's a chance for him to see if he can hang with legends like Sting. And come BFG Sting will put Magnus over. It's very slightly reminiscent of BFG09's Sting/AJ storyline. Won't be a great match but it's decent booking. They just have to hope the live crowd doesn't shit all over Magnus beating Sting. Yeah, this is a pretty big risk by TNA. I get that they want Sting to put over Magnus to make him a main eventer, and that's great, but if the fans cheer Sting and turn on Magnus because of it (which is a possibility) then it will defeat the whole purpose. Hopefully it works out positively. |

I said a while ago in the Brooke Hogan thread that her quitting was a bad thing for TNA at the moment. The entire company was revolving around the whole Bully/Brooke/Hulk storyline and then she simply was released with zero explanation. Nothing in TNA right now has any heat. This whole PPV build is just a complete fiasco and not even a fun Russo type debacle but just zero intrigue.

I had to check this out beforehand, because I wanted to know what they were gonna do with Hogan. I guess if his contract is done in October, pretty much Tuesday. If he was to leave, I would say it was morning again in TNA, but TNA is in such a bad state right now, it's pretty dark. John Pollock on Review an Impact said he feels like it's February 2001 and we all know TNA is in rough shape, but how bad could it be?
About the crowd, it's really sad because the crowd wasn't too bad for the first show, and I thought Dixie could at least pull off a decent Johnny Ace style authority heel, but it seems she literally has "go away heat".
I wish Bound for Glory would just be like, the big show of the year and they completely hit the reset button with the company. I guess one way to make some money in the new year would be if Magnus beat AJ Styles for the World Title and they went to England with Magnus on top.

Why would so many people get up and leave halfway through a show? What kind of fan does that?

2 things overheard during the Magnus/Daniels part of the Gauntlet:
From some girl behind us-"they need to have somebody good like Jeff Hardy out here."
From some guy behind us further up- "This is boring." Except he tried to do it as a failed version of the This is Awesome chant. No one joined in, and hilariously my 7 yr old cousin yelled out to him "Would you shut up?!"

In fairness, it was getting pretty tedious cuz it was essentially mostly the same 8 guys or so fighting with very lil context if you weren't really familiar with story, which clearly the vast majority weren't. Most of the people around me didn't know who at least half the roster was, which is another problem. The matches, by and large, were good; but the fact is that's not going to be enough to get the majority of an audience to care, especially with a show that while ok was pretty mediocre. |

I don't blame Hulk for wanting to be the one to tell Brooke she was being let go/being upset that they didn't let him know beforehand as a courtesy thing. Though with the Nashville thing, you'd think after he lost so much on his investment in her music career the first go round, they'd let that particular dream go. the first part I totally understand. but the rest of that seems to be more of a delusional Orange Goblin believing that money grows on trees. |

Apparently the Hogan & Dixie segment was supposed to go differently. You can thank creative control for how it turned out.

Which is why he went to TNA in the first place. He wouldn't be able to pull that shit with Vince McMahon. And that is the number 1 thing TNA needs. They need a Vince McMahon, someone who is the final word and will tell the big stars "No". |
