I literally just asked for stone cold in the add/drop superstars thread : jesus

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Brandon great job to utilize tag teams with the Tag Team Turmoil! But hot damn that's a lot of stipulations! No problem with that it definitely will be interesting to see the buried alive match!

I intentionally loaded it with stipulations because of the hardcore nature of the promotion and to start it off with a bang!

Thoughts...


- How can there be more than two semi-finals? :
- Tag Team Turmoil seems like a lot of fun and a really solid way to kick off the show. There's some serious show stealing potential from a few guys here and I pretty much like 'em all in their own ways, so this one is a winner to me.
- Not really feeling the submission match but that's probably due to my dislike of Elix Skipper. Outside of the cage walk spot (still probably the best single moment in TNA's history) I just never dug the dude. On the other hand, I do love Noble so that helps. The submission stip makes this a litle more interesting as well.
- The Texas Tornado match is an excellent way to hide the majority of these guys shortcomings in the ring and would be an all-out brawlathon. I like. The promo work for this feud would be spectacular as well.
- Buried Alive match is...interesting. I love Tajiri and hate Vampiro, so at the very least I know who I'm rooting for. : I do like that you've got a lot of different styles in the Championship tournament, based on this and the other matchups.
- TLC match kind of writes itself with the Hardy's being in your fed but sometimes the predictable is the right way to go. I would also have held off on their eventual singles pushes, so good call there. This is another one with show-stealing potential as there's just way too much raw talent involved.
- Texas Death is another match where I like one guy a lot (Corino) and couldn't care less about the other. That means I'd obviously enjoy watching Jarrett get his ass beaten from pillar to post! Awesomesauce!
- I like the teams in the 2/3 Falls Tag Match, and feel they could all contribute a lot to that format. Pretty evenly matched too so very hard to pick a winner.
- Anderson vs. Stasiak really does nothing for me, sorry. However, there is at least the prospect of seeing one of them bleed, so that's cool.
- FCA is the perfect enviroment for Boss Man to thrive. This is a match I'd honestly be pretty interested in seeing, even more so if Ken Craprock wasn't involved. Here's hoping he takes a DDT on the concrete.
- Main is pretty awesome as I would mark hard for a match with these two. This is probably my favourite matchup on the card and would just be a spectacle to behold. Good stuff.

Comments:

This is a beautiful looking card with the purple and the sexy ass pics and shit.

Its also a very balanced card, with a good amount of matches, and stips.

I dont know much about Barry Windham, but I love Steve Austin, so A plus i guess.

X factor match would be a blowout.

I guess this card could be considered sort of bloated with the amount of talent on the card, but i guess it can work. Going in with a bang i guess.

Everything looks peachy, nice work.

[Sabretooth]

The card looks sick. Maybe go a little less on the stipulations but I'd definitely love to see any one of these matches.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Texas Bullrope Match
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Barry Windham
two rough and tough Texans going at it and I can only hope that Windham is able to get the push in this fed that escaped him his entire career



Falls Count Anywhere Match
World Tag Team Championship Tournament Semi-Final
The Corporation (Big Boss Man & Ken Shamrock) vs. Natural Born Thrillers (Sean O'Haire & Chuck Palumbo)
def love the stip and it would be an all out war but I hope Shamrock gets a nice Seanton bomb threw three tables



First Blood Match
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final
"The Extreme Enforcer" C.W. Anderson vs. "Perfect" Shawn Stasiak
Stasiak is pretty substandard in the ring but I always liked Anderson this would be an interesting match with Meat getting pulverized



2-out-of-3 Falls Match
World Tag Team Championship Tournament Semi-Final
X-Factor (Syxx & Justin Credible) vs. Team Canada (Mike Awesome & Lance Storm)
both these team rule they could literally steal the show with Awesome's strength and the technical prowess of the three others


Texas Death Match
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final
"King of Old School" Steve Corino vs. "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett
yeah I don't give a crap about either of these two clowns


Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match
World Tag Team Championship Tournament Semi-Final
The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff Hardy) vs. 3 Count (Hurricane Helms & Shannon Moore) vs. Bad Street Boyz (Joey Matthews & Christian York)
gonna be a spottiest and the omega boys get to all work together but I am hoping it's not a predictable outcome

Buried Alive Match
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Final
Vampiro vs. "The Japanese Buzzsaw" Yoshihiro Tajiri
Tajiri was amazing in his prime and Vampiro was a devilish fuck to say the least so I can see this getting pretty damn crazy


Texas Tornado Match
World Tag Team Championship Tournament Semi-Final
- with Special Guest Referee Sean Waltman
The Outsiders (Scott Hall & Kevin Nash) vs. New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg & Billy Gunn)
love all these guys so fucking much and the charisma in this match is off the charts just not sure that Syxx would ever go against the klik




Submission Match
"Primetime" Elix Skipper vs. "By God" Jamie Noble
Noble should win pretty easily Skipper wasn't much of a submission guy if I remember correctly


Tag Team Turmoil
No. 1 Contendership for the World Tag Team Championship at November Reigns
Jung Dragons (Akio Yang & Kaz Hayashi) | Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido & Tony Mamaluke)
Simon & Swinger | Super Nova & Blue Meanie | David Flair & Crowbar
such a crazy clusterfuck of a match that really gives some under appreciated guys some PPV love

 

[Jimmy King]

This is a pretty sweet card, each match looks pretty awesome. I especially like the main event, and it fits both guys well given the stipulation and I think they would really make it work.

That big opening tag team match looks insane, and the tag team match with the Hardyz, 3 Count, and Bad Street Boyz has potential to be awesome. Also, really digging The Outsiders vs NAO, would have always been cool to see a match between those two teams and see who HHH and HBK would back in it. I'd see HHH taking NAO's side, while HBK takes Hall & Nash along with Syxx.

All in all a really great card dude.
