Impact *SPOILERS* TNA Impact Wrestling Tapings for 10/31/13

[Dale]

* Dixie Carter announces a tournament to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion after running down AJ Styles for leaving the company with the title. The tournament will begin next week. She brings the participants to the stage - Austin Aries, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Magnus, Kurt Angle, James Storm, Chris Sabin and Bobby Roode.

* Gail Kim defeated ODB.

* Ethan Carter III defeated a local jobber

* Magnus won an over-the-top gauntlet match by eliminating Sting. Sting was shocked and they had a staredown after the match.

* Jesse Godderz and Robbie E defeated Gunner and James Storm

* Bobby Roode defeated Kurt Angle by count out in the main event. Angle came down off the top rope, never regained consciousness and had to be taken away. This was similar to their finish at Bound For Glory.

Yep, going full on CM Punk here it seems crowning a new champion then bringing AJ back to unify the belts.

I'm curious as to why Bully Ray wasn't booked in that tournament. Or Sting for that matter. Looks like a half decent show. I'm assuming it's going to be promo heavy.

Bully, idk. But isn't Sting still unable to challenge for the World Heavyweight Title?

So Angle is fragile now and they seemed hellbent on turning Magnus, both bad ideas. Angle is your legit shooter and Magnus should your up and coming babyface that your company is built around. Building them into the exact opposite would be detrimental to your product and their characters.
