Two Weeks of TNA

redfiona99As usual, the problems are not with the wrestlers.
Because, guess what, the Jarrett's and GFW were up to no good.
Shocking, I know.
It did feature the glorious bit of Drew Galloway going 'I am going to use my forensic science degree' and the image of Galloway in a lab coat provided me with great enjoyment.
I also loved that the first guy to fly out to defend TNA was Rockstar Spud, despite being pretty much mummified in kinesotape.
In non-business-fu-related matters:
The pre-match bit for the Revolution gave them some character stuff and I am suddenly more interested in them. Funny that, eh? Manik in particular is adorable.
Despite the fact that she was last seen being cheated out of a title shot by a Dollhouse beatdown, Rebel has joined the Dollhouse because ... nope, no reason given. (I presume it's because Tarryn is too injured to wrestle but any reason on Rebel's part would have been nice.)
So Jeff Jarrett declares that he's going to take over TNA. Chris Mordetsky (Masters) says he's as good as any man on the TNA roster so Bobby Lashley challenges him to a fight. GFW cheat and all of two TNA wrestlers (hello Wolves) come out to rescue him. Now I know that the GFW people have to stick together because there are fewer of them and they're the invading force, but still, how am I supposed to root for a company where only two people care enough to try to defend it.
Anyway, Wolves + Lashley get beaten down, GFW use the tag team feast or fired suitcase (given to them by Magnus because ... again, we're not getting reasons) to demand a match. Earl Hebner refuses to ref, showing more backbone than the TNA peeps not called the Wolves and is beaten to the ground. Next ref is bullied into reffing the match, causing GFW to now hold the TNA tag team titles.
Bobby Roode, after a glorious promo defending TNA, faces PJ Black for the King of the Mountain belt. TNA haven't put the promo online because they are morons. The crowd were eating it up.
Kenny King issues and open challenge, of course Bram is the one to answer it. But hey, that's something that makes sense. Dear TNA writers, the viewers don't mind predictable when it makes sense.
Dixie challenges the evil forces of GFW to a match at Bound For Glory for ownership of TNA. Jarrett says, 'I have my team, you have no-one', out comes Drew Galloway going 'she's got me'. Now guess who else joins them. Maybe Bobby Roode after his glorious promo. No, no, no, that would make too much sense. It's the Wolves and Lashley. I think writing's left hand and right hand aren't speaking to each other again.
Velvet Sky calls out the Dollhouse, is about to be outnumbered, out come the cavalry who are the Beautiful People. The highlight being Madison Rayne's glorious sneer and Pope literally squeeing over the Beautiful People reforming. I am not joking by the way. The noise Pope made can only be described as squeeing.
Uncut spoiler, just for people's amusement -
The evil EC3 cheats to retain his title therefore he wins Jeff Hardy as a personal assistant. Several years ago, hundreds of fics started from that theme.
