* Eyes drop to signature* - Not at all, wouldn't have guessed

Bad Influence are the only other team I know of, Aries and Roode were a cool team as well
I was hopin it wasn't too obvious I'm a mark for the Bromans. Dunno though, hope they find a team for them soon bro

They should put the X Division title on Zema, having all 3 of em hold titles. That's best for business Dixie. Do it broette

Zema got a great gig going, but he does need more bling

We'll definitely see a Champ vs. Champ match down the line, most probably in 2014.

I predict Styles vs. Magnus, maybe at Genesis, maybe at Lockdown.

Side note: Styles's next international match is on Dec. 6th against Lionheart in the UK.

I think the Bromans are going to feud with Fernum and Barns. I'm a fan of their gimmick, although it would've been better if they didn't go instantly from jobber tag team to sneaky heels (and would've kept their first theme, too). As for the title thing, I'm between Magnus and Roode. Given that the winner will probably feud with Styles once he comes back, it has to be a heel, leaving Angle and Hardy out (don't think either is turning). Magnus may complete his heel turn or something and then feud with Styles later, and Roode could finish up his feud with Angle before AJ returns, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure either Roode or Magnus wins, works a feud or two with someone else and afterwards with AJ.

Holy crap. Really good new user.

When this tournament ends, we'll be expecting AJ Styles back any week. The less we know when he's coming back but the more we're reminded he exists, the better. That's what WWE did wrong. Dixie said that she wants an answer this week, interesting cliffhanger but way too early. Maybe it'll be a taped message from across the world? Hope it's Roode that wins the belt. He'd sell AJ's mere presence like a boss.

Lots of people seem to be saying Magnus will win, but that's mainly the trolls who assume they're going to rip off the corporation angle. Seems a little too soon for a Magnus/AJ rematch though, we don't want Magnus' first title reign being something like this, and don't see a reason to turn him heel. I'd be okay with Hardy as a big name who can job to Styles quickly while Angle and Roode keep feuding. It could be anyone in the group. That's what makes it interesting.

I'd probably bring him back at the Against All Odds show. Genesis is too soon, and Lockdown is too Pritchard-y.

I think he'll return a couple of weeks after the new champ is crowned (hope it's not Hardy), but he'll be shown in some videos as last week's segment.

Roode would sell it well, but I just think they will continue Roode/Angle feud tbh. Winners are Magnus or Roode, there are the only two who would really draw for a champion vs champion match

I believe the same storyline has been done when CM Punk walked out as champion, do you think TNA will mimic the story-line entirely? I would like to see some Champion time perhaps, dominate through a few competitors then have Styles comeback in, although if it is Hardy, I would prefer Styles comeback immediately
its going to be angle. 100% i would bet my life on it. Angle denied the HoF, saying he needed to earn it, he has lost to Roode a few good time's now, and that is the match being setup for the finals.

I don't care about what other companies have done before, honestly. I really am enjoying this angle, and I'm excited to see how it all unfolds, as Bully will be somewhere in the mix, and that to me will make it better than anything else. I expect Angle to win this tournament, later losing to Roode/Bully before or immediately after AJ returns to defend his TNA title.

I wouldn't really have put Bully in the mix, I don't see where he would go after Ace's n 8's ended

did you see the funeral? I loved how he came in and set it straight. He will be around the title picture in another couple of months. Dude is king heel, no reason to change that.

ETA: I know hes facing Dreamer in the one night only deal, so I'm expecting old school heel or anything heel related. He could do almost anything, and i'll buy into it.

Good point, in that way it really feels like Kurt would win (having lost to Roode so much, saying the Hof thing that I had already forgotten about etc).

like i said, i'd love to bet on it, i see no other way of things going down. I expect Roode to win first this week and then attack angle for his win....but that's a different deal altogether.

It did run through my mind when he was killing four guys by himself that he could be the champ.
