exactly. But no heels weren't allowed to go over on this night at all. Only babyfaces were allowed to win.
The money is in the babyface chase. They already let one babyface win here you gotta save something for the biggest show here otherwise bound for glory would just see Santana retain his title and that wouldn’t be as good of a selling point.

Plus, why wouldn’t you want Trick Williams who was clearly a draw looking at this house come back and help you sell out again in Lowell?

I think people took too much focus on the storyline of NXT holding their titles when that’s just a storyline. It would be different if trick didn’t show up on the shows, but he does. He also shows off the TNA title on WWE.

I can already foresee that this result pissed people off and I can see why. Santana realistically probably should’ve just won here, but they put Santana over huge with the way Trick had to steal his win, Santana didn’t get beat and now they’re gonna go towards the biggest pay-per-view of the year.

Also, this allows Leon’s big victory over moose and that torch he got from AJ to mean more when Santana didn’t also win on the show.
It honestly killed my interest in the company. I had it on in the background while playing Lego Fortnite but I wasn't giving it much attention.

I also wouldn't even count on him winning at BFG. Everyone said the same thing about Joe Hendry, and that didn't happen at BFG. TNA gonna TNA.

I can’t tell you how to feel, but all the booking beats are lining up perfectly. Santana had the match won, trick came in and stole the victory from him and it was Joe that got beat so Santana almost won and wasn’t beaten so it makes perfect sense for him to continue chasing.

As for what happened with Joe I can’t tell you why they did that. I also thought that was stupid, but then again I also thought the match with him and Nic was stupid because why would you do a double babyface when crowning a new babyface, and then they just repeated the same main event in January. I don’t think it’s quite the same thing here though because Santana losing here would be the same thing as Joe losing at bound for glory. The second chance that he gets at the title is when Joe won so theoretically BFG would be where Santana would be winning in parallel to Joe.

I’m just excited because I think Trick is killing it and I’m gonna buy tickets and I’m gonna be there in Lowell so I’m just happy to actually get to see it if it happens. I would be very surprised if Santana doesn’t win it there, but we’ll see.

Hope so. Cause honestly I got plenty of issues with a lot of stuff that happened here(surprisingly the Nemeths losing the tag titles ain't even one of them.) that has me just questioning the booking and what this company is doing. So yeah.

I mentioned it earlier before I even saw the main event that I kind of telegraphed I thought Trick was gonna retain because booking wise the way that they put Leon Slater over and really made him the next breakout superstar with moose, putting the belt on him and then AJ coming out to give him the torch. You really don’t wanna take away from that by also strapping Santana on the same show. It also gives the fans another top babyface to look forward to being crowned later.

So I’ll be hoping with you. If Santana loses at BFG, that’ll be suicide.

The Rascalz should have won that.
I don’t know if you saw, but I was marking out pretty hard for Myron Reed so I definitely would’ve supported it.
