Good, you're an asshole just like the rest of us.

 

Yeah, but not because I'm an Anderson fan.

(...Anderson fan)

 

Mickie James... *sigh* How I missed thee...

 

Just for the fun of it, what has become one of my all-time favorite promos, courtesy of Mrrr. Asshole (Asshole!) himself:

 

Gutter actually swerved me. You magnificent bastard.

So for the title match, Angle and Anderson are both lying flat, with Hardy on the outside. Bischoff comes out and prepares to attack either Angle or Anderson with a chair. Hogan hobbles out with crutches and has a face-to-face with Bischoff, who steals a crutch. Hardy comes in to break it up, then Hogan hands him the other crutch. Hardy threatens to hit Bischoff, then breaks it on Angle. He then takes the other, breaks it on Anderson and gets the pin. Abyss and Jarrett come out to celebrate, RVD asks Hardy what's going on, then Hardy hauls off on him.

The gist of that whole bit: Jeff Hardy won the TNA title and turned heel.

 

Another clusterfuck ending to a TNA PPV.

Hardy is your new champ, turning heel with the assistance from Hogan and Bischoff. And apparently "They" is Hogan, Bischoff, Hardy, Jarrett and Abyss.

Now the question is ... is Angle done with TNA?

 

So the big angle at the end of Bound for Glory: Bischoff, Hogan, Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett commit the sloppiest four-man heel turn in professional wrestling history.

All three guys in the main event (Hardy, Angle, Anderson) are out, and Bischoff comes out with a chair, appearing ready to whack someone in the head and go heel for whatever reason. Hogan limps out with crutches (though I have to admit, for that kind of invasive back surgery, he moved surprisingly well). Hogan and Bischoff jaw, Bischoff steals a crutch, they appear ready to duel when Hardy rolls between them. Hogan gives Hardy a crutch, and it appears it's going to be Hardy vs. Bischoff, only Hardy uses it on Angle and Anderson. Hardy wins the title, Jeff Jarrett and Abyss come out, Jarrett hugs Bischoff, Abyss hugs Jarrett, it's a hugathon of incredible failure.

What a confusing shitstorm of suckiness. Maybe they'll explain it on Impact. Except I suspect they'll make it more convoluted.

 

So now there's ANOTHER faction?

There's Flair's group. There's the ECW group. Sting and Nash are allies. And now we've got a Hardy/Jarrett/Bischoff/Hogan group.

What a mess this company is.

 

So we have me with the original piece, Gutter with the APNewsNow and MMII with the 1st-Ld Writethru (more readable).

 

Stable wrasslin' is back, baby!

 

That was Nash's last match. He's going to be written out in the next taping. So who knows where they go with Sting and Pope.

 

Now all we need is boom to write up some cutlines.

A thought occurs: Jeff Hardy is a solo heel for the first time (and a heel of any sort for the first time since the Hardy Boyz were managed by Michael Hayes for 3 minutes and Gangrel for 45 seconds). Meanwhile in the WWE Universe, someone's trying to get himself fired. Does this set the stage for Jeff vs. Matt, Round III down the line? I could buy it.

I assume Nash will get beaten down by they to write him out, unless he re-signed, in which case who knows?

Could they disband Fortune already, since they lost the presumed blowoff against EV2 and there's a new top heel stable? Or are they continuing the EV2 feud?

And of course, the main reason to watch TNA: the coming Jay Lethal vs. The Shore feud over who reps Jersey better.
