Jeff swanton off the cage FTW

That would be pretty awesome actually. For some reason I also think we'll see Angle attempt his famous moonsault from the top of the cage.

It's interesting. Back in 2010, at I believe it was No Surrender, Angle and Hardy had a pretty mediocre match, IMO. Two years later, they're having near MOTN quality matches. Crazy how the world works.

It's good that you said near, MOTN is A Double's bitch.

He always does the moonsault and never lands it :

Maybe this time he'll make actually contact with his opponent.

You thought their match at No Surrender was mediocre. Sorry bro but your crazy. I loved the hell out of that match. They went two 5 minute overtimes. And still no victor. I thought it was a great match so I don't know what your getting at.

The booking of that match was horrible. Why give them two 5 minute overtimes and still not have a victor? Just keep the match going until there was a winner. I hated the ending of that match. Made no sense, whatsoever. I guess the stuff in the match itself was pretty decent but that ending kind of ruined it for me.

I hope so, it was pretty brutal last year. Of course so was starting off the "blood feud" match with a fucking headlock, but I've already gone on about that numerous times. :

That's why its famous. :

The match was amazing is what it was. So what if there was no victor. Kurt was bleeding too much. Not a bad story.

That's why its famous. :

Last year he made absolutely no contact with jarrett whatsoever. It was pretty funny. He crossed himself and then missed by like a yard

OMGZ THEIR WAZ BLOOD~!!! IT MOOST BE GUD~!!!!

Fuck that. But that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I think he's arguing that the match stopping was logical due to the blood loss.

If that's the case, then okay. Maybe that makes some sense.

I guess I'll have to watch it again (I'm pretty much going off of the last time I saw it which was a little after the PPV), so maybe my memory is a little foggy of the exact ending. I just remember it having 2 sudden deaths and no winner. Completely forgot about Angle bleeding.

 

[Catfish Billy]

I really don't want to see Storm as World Champion, we should pray for Bobby come Lockdown.

 

[Shane]

James has been here since day 1. Considering he could have went to wwe, TNA should give him a long title reign.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe if Angle lost that match he would have had to "quit" wrestling forever. Obviously that means they booked themselves into a corner but couldn't let him go over Hardy because of their plans for Hardy at BFG. So they cheapened the ending a bit and then made a three way, which also allowed Anderson to take the fall because that way Angle still wouldn't have to retire.

 

[Shane]

Yeah Apex. Kurt Angle said if he didn't win the world title, he'd retire. So TNA had them look strong by putting on a great match but fucked up the ending so neither man would be defeated. The match was fantastic and the ending made sense for the storyline purposes.

One thing you have to remember is at the time Hardy was secretly aligned with Hogan and Bischoff. And he would be revealed as the centerpiece of 'they' at BFG. Easy E couldn't risk letting it go to another finish so he called it a draw and made the triple threat.
