Ah, I didn't know they were doing playoffs.
I can see Crimson coming out the winner of this thing.

They said the top 4 go forward. I'm assuming it's a playoff. It could be a 4-way match I suppose. They haven't actually explicitly stated it yet (fucking typical).
If Crimson is continuing his winning streak then they're going to have jump through hoops to prevent him winning both the tourney and the title, aren't they? I guess having a Heel putting him out of commission for a few weeks would achieve that.

They did that on Thursday when they put him in a tag match with Matt Morgan. They won the match but only Morgan got the points because he scored the win

I thought they both got points for the tag win. Crimson should have attacked him like a real face for winning the match for them but also taking the points.

They said Morgan got the points but then I think the retroactively added the points to Crimson now. TNA is stupid

The top four will end up having to pick a briefcase anyway. Crimson's reward for winning the tournament will be a pink slip.

Are they seriously doing the briefcase thing for the top 4? Please tell me that's not happening. One of the briefcases will be a chip and dale dance to stupid porno music like Daffney had to do. In that case I don't even know if I'd want to win this series

If you click on the table it says Crimson has gotten 17pts from 3 matches (10pt submission, 7pt win, 0pts from the tag match). Champ is stupid. Also, the Pope is Bischoff-for-5.

I thought only Morgan got the points but I could've sworn when I saw the board on Thursday, it said Crimson also had 17 points. But he didn't have those points last week. Am I just seeing shit?

Sting is on fucking fire right now huh! If it was anyone else I would be saying he's overexposed, but Sting is entertaining in every segment. The Hogan ownage was so funny

The Hogan ownage was so funny I thought the best part of the Hogan ownage was Sting trying to make him eat vitamins. Him not giving a shit about Bully Ray was funny as hell.

Agree with both of you, Sting was RULING it this week. He struck just the right amount of crazy during his promo (4pts), and he had lots of funny little bits. "The only thing that's for sure about Sting... ah, nevermind" (2pts)
Bully Ray being a big man... by challenging Sting to a match... against Steiner. Quality heeling. I mean, I knew exactly what was coming and it still made me lol. (4pts)
I really enjoyed the 3-way match (6 points for everyone!). I wanted Jimmy Yang to win though.
Hey, remember when Angelina was a zombie? And then she wasn't? (-2pts) I'm mildly surprised they turned her full-blown heel. I bet Winter really hated getting a stinkface (-2pts) from Tessmacher (85% rule = 4pts). "oh no, Tessmacher is going to push her ultra-fine, perfectly-sculpted ass in my face... what a terrible thing that could happen to me... wait, I don't think I'm injured enough by the move, I think you should do it again just to make sure... yeah that's the stuff". Seeing as Tessmacher's doing the stinkface and her finisher is the Victory Roll, she might as well start doing the Worm too.
Gunner only needed to cheat slightly to win the rubber match of a 3-match series against AJ Styles. Perfect booking.
I've said this before, but Velvet is violently unlikable as a face when she opens her mouth (-2pts). Blah blah blah bullying blah blah. Wasn't her whole gimmick to "cleanse the world...one ugly person at a time"?
Sweet fucking Jesus, Sarita in hookerwear... goddam (85%Rule = 4pts). Anarqqia reminds me of a character from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. But I can't be arsed to look up which one. I would die laughing if Rob Terry turned on the Swank Englishmen and joined Mexican America. Please make it happen, TNA.
I thought they would do more with Jarrett in Mexico. It does amuse me that he's honoring the stipulation by spending two whole weeks in Mexico City, so I suppose I better give him two points.
Are they really building to Sting vs Hogan? Really? The dude can barely walk.

Yeah, Sting was great again.
Pretty good episode again. Missed some Eric Young. At least the other Eric wasn't there at all either.

LOL just the way he's sitting on the ring floor bonding with Hogan and his "broken ribs" was fantastic
I loved their bickering in the back afterwards.
Steiner: WHY DINT YA WARN ME I HAD A MATCH?
Bully: I don't even have ya cellphone numba!
Steiner: CUZ I DINT GIVIT TO YA!
Steiner really entertains the shit out of me in TNA. I never cared for him til the last couple years
This angle is a perfect metaphor as to why TNA will never succeed. In 2 weeks Sting will be acting "normal" again too. Why can't they just stick to shit when it's cool? It's like it's always all about this bigger picture with Hogan and Bischoff
Yeah I can really appreciate that. Gunner wins one clean. AJ wins one clean. Then Gunner has to cheat to win the mini-series. That's the way to put over a heel without making the face look like shit
Rosita even looked pretty damn good! Rosita's hot in a ghetto way. She's perfect for this faction
Oh she sucks. She even became so much less attractive to me since she turned face. At least her last promo finally wasn't blah blah blah blah, BIIIITCH, blah blah blah
Just the fact that they even followed through with him going to Mexico and having segments down there earned points from me. I figured, this being TNA and all, Jarrett would've been off tv for a week, then would've been back in the ring talking about how much Mexico sucked and how he's glad to be back home.
If Hogan looked to be in good shape I'd say, absolutely, this match probably should happen. But, yeah, the guy is a gimp. It almost can't turn out to be a great match
I basically have the same response to this that I had for Angelina not being a zombie anymore
