I'm rather suspicious as to why they'd turn their best UK star heel before a huge tour of the UK in a few months? Seems a little questionable but I'm sure they'll bring out guys who the fans will likely cheer over Magnus: Sting, Hardy & AJ. Isn't Hardy not allowed to leave the country? So he'd be out, although TNA would probably advertise him again. He'll probably work against Sting during those tapings. |

Oh yes, I forgot about last year when they advertised him & had him suffer an "injury" right before the tour. Blatant bait-&-switch. Hopefully they don't do the same next year. |

Yeah, Hardy cannot leave the country but that won't stop them from advertsing him. As for who he'll face, I don't see it being Sting as I think Dixie will cling to the no title matches for him stuff and he seems destined for EC3. I see Magnus probably getting Joe or Angle on the tour. |

This is what I hate about TNA's booking team, they either think the viewers are stupid, or they are just so set in there ways that they repeat the same garbage, I am not talking about Magnus' turn, but how they telegraphed it with Magnus saying Jeff will turn like he did before.
I know people saw Magnus' turn coming but it doesn't need to be shoved in your face with Magnus calling out Jeff like that, do they really think that is clever? Don't they know that the audience are not gullible and can obviously see Hardy won't join Dixie because it's already been brought up and TNA always likes to hit their swerves with a "surprise" , so of course Hardy is not going to turn since it was brought up earlier.
It would of been better for nothing to have been said, or Jeff to question Magnus about joining Dixie as well.
It just pisses me off that Lagana or whoever came up with that are probably sitting back thinking they are so clever for that, when it is a classic telegraphing/foreshadowing for the opposite to happen.

I don't see Angle getting a title match until winning the BFG series later next year to continue this HOF story of his. He'll fail all the way up to the series before winning it, going in the HOF & winning the World Title from Magnus. |

Just too long for Magnus to run with the belt (guess it could get broken up by an AJ reign if he comes back) and too long with the Angle stuff. Don't get me wrong, I can see it happening, I just don't want it at all. |

I'd rather see Roode win the BFG series and then actually win the title at BFG, from AJ, Joe, or Aries. |

Kurt Angle is one of those guys that really makes me cringe when watching. I really hope he retires soon too but I can't see that happening for quite awhile; Sting is in the HOF, yet he's still there a fair lot. I don't see it being any different for Angle, who continues to push himself way past his limits. I used to love watching Kurt wrestle, now I can't help but be worried every time he steps in the ring.

Good lord people. Get out of a cage and then climb a ladder. It's a dumb stipulation but let's stop pretending like it's some big complicated mess to figure out. But that's the operative word here. It's dumb, and in execution, it's going to be a big complicated mess, because it's essentially a cage match with a ladder match glued onto it. That, and they aren't even doing the ladder section in the ring, so I can't imagine too many spots they can do off the ladder that's not going to be wildly unsafe. |

A cage match where you have to escape, get to the stage and climb a ladder for the belt?
Again, Jeff Jarrett has to be back in charge.

So we're just going right to another evil stable in a weeks time? Got it. See you in 6 months TNA. Maybe you'll try something else. But this time it will be a ripoff of a recent WWE angle that wasn't any good to begin with. There's the hook! |

Rockstar Spud cost Jeff Hardy the match?
That's like if at TLC John Cena loses because of interference by Yoshi Tatsu.

I thought he just organised that Thanksgiving dinner out of the goodness of his tiny little heart or something. |

Pretty much all of us called it. That was my point. It's predictable booking at its finest with Magnus becoming the corporate champ. You are insinuating that Magnus turned. Yall predicted he will turn and according to the spoilers he hasn't. The spoilers only mention Jeff Hardy getting screwed over by Dixie/Spud. No one predicted that turn of events on the forum sorry. |

Magnus turned the second he acted like a little bitch with Sting. |

By having multiple gimmick matches in one match, it IS a complicated mess. The only way to get it to "big complicated mess" stage would be to either add a pinfall or that stupid "now you have to get back IN the ring" reverse battle royal thing they did some years ago. An escape cage match that transforms into a ladder match. Were they trying for something similar to best of 3 but where the first fall doesn't count it only gives you like a few second head start? |
