redfiona99Is doing it again.
That thing where it's not the wrestlers's fault, but nothing is making sense.
First of all, the Rising vs the BDC. Because how stupid do you have to be to take on a team in an elimination match when you've only got 3 members and they've got 4. But the Rising go ahead with it anyway, and I can't really feel too sorry for them having to split up when they are that stupid. I can feel sorry for whichever* because I have a horrible suspicion that that is a real injury.
The match itself made Drew Galloway look a million dollars; stupid, but a million dollars.
Anyway, adios to the Rising.
The finale of the best of five series went to the dying seconds of an 30 minute iron man match, and you know, not a classic, but a solid match even if the team I wanted to win didn't win.
It's interesting that they had Tarryn win near enough clean.
I am intrigued as to who James Storm's partner will be for him vs Mickey and Magnus. I'll presume Havok until further notice.
I'm actually very happy that EC3 won the title because he's fun, in the 'I enjoy seeing him get punched in the face' way of good bad guys. And it gives Kurt Angle a chance to have a break, which he looks like he needs.
Okay so we start with EC3 gloating. Fine. I'm also fine with Matt Hardy coming out to demand a title match. I am less fine with Bobby Roode and Austin Aries being EC3's goons for the purpose of beating up Hardy but whatever.
And I am cool with the forces of evil being mean to Bobby Lashley and Anderson. I am worried that the Bram vs Anderson match is going to lead to a feud, because much though I <3 Bram, when there's a match where Anderson is bring the wrestling skill, it's not going to be good.
I am even cool with the forces of evil being mean to Drew Galloway, because, even with the bad dye job, he's made for fiery speeches, even if bringing out most of the Revolution shows how badly they, the Rising and the BDC, have been treated. The BDC get away with it more because everyone already knows who they are but you've got the Rising where no-one knows who the other two are despite them having been about for 5 months, and then you've got the Revolution, who were blatantly put together so that they wouldn't need to speak until they were confident in doing that, and then left to do nothing. I know I should care about the internal dissension between Khoya and Abyss but I don't. Because I've not been given a reason to care and there's been no/very little build-up (and what build-up there was was 3-4 weeks ago). They, all three of which could be promotion-centric groups, have all been put onto the back-burner, and mysteriously, this is just as Jarrett's new promotion start getting mentioned and we know where it's going and it's like 'no, TNA, no more owner-ship-fu.'
I liked EC3's kind of evil and I guessed that Norv Fernum would make his re-appearance, and Kurt being sneaky and all was good. Even Aunt D appearing and going 'I was wrong and recognise and renounce my previous evil' was good. There being more GM-fu is not good, particularly when the show ends so abruptly that I end up looking up spoilers and write ups in case Challenge had cut the ending off for some reason.
I feel we have been here before and I didn't like it that time either.
* the fact that I can't remember the names of the Rising will be returned to shortly.
