THERrrrrE were HERrrrE. They, of course, being the mane six. Though also these guys -  So... Yeah, amazingly enough this storyline happened three years ago. Or at least it started three years ago; Immortal took so long to die that I think it lived up to its name and is still going despite no one being in it. |

Just amazing to me how fast it all fell apart. I know the idea was a face MEM vs Immortal but like...man, I really didn't want too Fourtune at that time.

Who could forget all those awesome Immortal moments, like the one 45 minute promo they had, or the time Hogan buried Team 3D's tag title reigns despite the fact that 3D had nothing to do with the Immortal storyline?

I actually kind of dug some of the things that came out of Immortal. I thoroughly enjoyed MMA Jeff Jarrett, I enjoyed "Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling" Jeff Hardy, I loved everything about Fortune bar their theme music and I actually kinda enjoyed "Stone Cold" Ken Anderson.
I just think by adding Hogan, Bischoff and Sting to the mix it really hurt things and the overall booking of some of these little gems ended up killing any momentum that came from them. Crimson in his first instant flash was cool, then they drove him into the ground and pushed him in a way that wasn't going to get over. That's always what I'll remember Immortal as, a series of brilliant flashes that was ultimately, and very quickly, drove into the ground...and shot at a few times for good measure.

I loved Heel Hardy though. Minus the match with Sting.

If you could put together a book consisting of just images that best describes TNA... That would be one of them.

Only time I've ever enjoyed Hardy and Jarrett. It gave us Joker Sting, which I loved. The theme was awesome also. But it did have some god awful moments and it took waaayyyy to long to die

Was this the storyline where Kazarian tried (unsuccessfully, IIRC) to put down WWE.

If nothing else, Immortal led to Another Me, which is one of my favorite wrestling themes of all time. So I'll give it that.

Agree with this. There was more bad than good(mainly taking too long to end), but there was still some good that came out of it, I'd also add Hardy's theme to the things Thread Killa 2 said. |

Immortal took a long time? Aces & Eights laughs at that notion.  |

I think Immortal could have worked if it wasn't booked under Russo. Remember that elaborate explanation by Bully Ray explaining his heel turn after Lockdown? If they tried to do that with the Immortal storyline, it would have more plot holes than Kane's character (even though Bischoff did his best to explain it in the long ass promo). The concept of Hogan and Bischoff coming in, infiltrating the company with their "boys", and then eventually signing the company away from Dixie could have been a good storyline (or at least a decent one) if they carefully plotted every single move as they did with Aces and Eights. Instead, it was just illogical turns one after another with very little continuity, which was the staple of Russo booking.
But yeah, three years ago? Time flies.

A&8s did it, and it was still the drizzles. |
