So, Dixie Carter announce overnight that Christian will be at Slammiversary!

Guess that's the trade-off for Flair at the HOF.

It's TNA - Christian will be announced as the first inductee, but then he'll be ambushed off camera and Jeff Hardy will do a sudden heel turn to take the honour instead.

Consider it an advance preview or something.

I'm guessing he won't show up and dump the IC Title in a rubbish bin...

Be interesting to see what he does though. Obv won't be wrestling, but will he even BE on the PPV or just AT the PPV?

Man, this Joseph Parks thing has been fracking awesome.

Some really subtle characterizations and fantastic chemistry with Bully Ray. Currently holding my number one spot for Angle of the Year

Seems weird they bought out Christian for that brief moment.

For those who wanna see it, I am just gonna watch Aries vs Joe. Also is there any doubt about Storm winning the BFG Series?

This Sting video package / induction announcement is actually really nice!

Yeah, I love that background music! It's been used for WrestleMania a few times! And I like that they let the reveal take place as it did. Sting was definitely the right choice.

How awkward was his reaction though?! Seemed like he didn't know whether to be humbled, or happy, or embarrassed. Probably 'cos he said a few days ago that he shouldn't be the first inductee.

and, um, he was in the fucking main event of the PPV, while being inducted into a hall of fame.

What the fuck was the point of Christian being there? Was soooo random, did it really add anything to the show? Must admit, I miss Christian Cage. He's way better than Christian....

Ummm average as PPV. Aries vs Joe was very good and the Tag Title match wasn't bad...that's about it.

Mr Anderson vs Robert Roode for the title on Impact this week for all two of you that watch it.

I thought it was amazing.

I thought it was alright, i had to skip my way through parts of it due to lack of time but i admit i watched all of Joseph Park v Bully Ray haha <3 Joseph Park.
Watched the Christian shit also, and yeh its pretty weird but i assume TNA were.....
1. Trying to fool people into thinking Christian would actually be the inductee.
2. Making sure they "delivered" on their announcement that Christian would be there.
3. Trying to show that they have some kind of pull and can get Vince to allow (current) WWE talent to appear on their show when they say so?

Or maybe Vince just secretly owns TNA.

I also thought they should have shown "Abyss" leaving whilst Joseph told him to wait/come back and then chased after him or something.
Although maybe they are saving that?
The way they had that whole same person/not same person thing play out was weird.
Yes he couldn't possibly get changed in 10 seconds so they are zomg two different people.
Yes we didn't see "Abyss" front on.
Yes that just makes this stupid.
No it doesn't diminish how awesome Joseph Park and his OTT shit is

Anyways, glad Roode retained but dread seeing the lameness that is James Storm beating him

_________________

I like how he made a joke about the 6-sided ring and the crowd were like 'HUH?!' Hasn't been THAT long has it?! But I think TNA mainly wanted him as a talking head for upcoming dvds. Probably figured why not throw him out there to give the show that extra buzz 'n all. Crowd seemed totally confused about it though.

Actually thought it was a really satisfying show. And I haven't said that about a TNA PPV in a looooooong time.

The opener and the tag match were super enjoyable. Main event wasn't much, but I popped for the continuity of Roode using Storm's beer bottle to retain and further build to Storm eventually beating him. You'd think. I have absolutely no interest in seeing Anderson challenge for the title, so the result of the three-way was a fail for me.

Never thought I'd say this either, but I was disappointed Crimson's undefeated streak had to end. That promo he cut prior to the match was highly amusing, and ever since his heel turn a few months ago, they actually managed to turn his boring Goldberg-style undefeated streak into an effective 'I'm undefeated, y'know!' heel routine that actually made Crimson interesting for once. But at least they picked the right guy to end it since Storm needs rebuilding for his World Title push.

Oh, and <3 <3 Joseph Park. I'm continuously amazed at how phenomenal his wacky facials and believable acting has been throughout this storyline. That was the best badly booked match ever. Thought the Abyss appearance went perfectly as far as the length of time between Park appearing and reappearing from under the ring. Although I'm now intrigued as to whether we're still supposed to believe they're two different people or not?!

And Bully Ray is totally getting skinnier by the week! Bloody good on him!

Again, this company is SO much better than WWE at the moment, especially when it comes to producing compelling television and interesting storylines.

I loved that PPV. Ranked up there with Destination X 2011 standards. And that was hard to do.
Loved the first 2 matches. Loved the Tag title match.
Honestly wasnt surprised at Sting being the first inductee haha.
But man. TNA need to do more PPVs like that. Im gonna wipe my hdd of TNA and start again from today. Keeping Dest.X 11 tho.

See this is the thing when "Abyss" goes back under the ring its like 10 seconds before JP reappears
So IMO there is only one opinion we are supposed to have, but is that the opinion they were intending us to have?

You would have to hope so and that we are not supposed to even speculate he could get changed in world record time, but if that was the case and we are meant to think its two dudes.....why bother making it so silly and have JP conveniently go under the ring (i assume to hide?) and then just randomly pop back out in time.
Its weird
