EDIT: Why the hell is the word Ol ym Pia starred out here?

It's an MCD venue, and discussion is taboo.
Might make it across for the second show if tix are still available.

VR!

No Christian? No thanks.

Also, is it not a bit ambitious to expect Angle to be back by then

EdK

Tickets are left for the first show which has a big ppv like card, second night is sold out, its not really cost effective to bring everyone across but there is enough marquee talent to make it worthwhile

Looks like we know whos winning the tag match on night one anyway!:D

Little chance of a title change at a house show anyway, I suppose.

Also since when is Petey Williams X Division champ? Christ, shows how much my interest in TNA.has waned....

He cashed in his MITB briefcase that he won in the feast or fired match after Jay Lethal had been beaten down last month. Might've been Steiner's briefcase actually, that whole thing is a blur to me now

Even figuring that out makes my head hurt, talk about convoluted booking...:eek:

Would go, only I'm in Berlin to see Rage that week. No Christian though.. Boo-urns. Haven't seen him wrestle live since 2001, just before Edge and Christian broke up. Was great to see them taggin together

Steiner gave the briefcase to Petey for passing the initiation. The feast or fired stated that they could take the title shot at any time they pleased. BG took his tag shot at Against All Odds, Steiner took his world shot at Sacrifice and Petey did on the April 17 edition of Impact.

You sure? I could've sworn they were merely "title shots" until Petey decided to run down to the ring that time

Machismo Fan

Yes and Petey used that title shot and beat Jay Lethal. It doesn't matter when he used it.

Fozzy

When guys win title shots they don't usually use them with no notice. That's only with the MITB match and it just seems like TNA copied them. They even had the briefcase. But I don't remember being told they could use their title shot without any notice

ShawnRaven

To be fair, a ladder match isn't exactly WWE's creation either. They made it popular that's for sure, but i'm sure you know Stampede had been doing it for years beforehand. And that's all MITB is really.

VR!

Bubs101

But that's not the issue. TNA never said that they could cash in the case at any time

Machismo Fan

But they also never said you couldn't so all ye just assumed that.

What?! So you'd be ok with it if say Steiner pinned Joe in a tag match and was awarded the TNA title? They never said it couldn't happen, so would the fans be wrong for assuming that it wasn't going to happen?

Machismo Fan

Well you would have to state something is a World Title Match.

ShawnRaven

To be honest, it was an easy assumption to make. Whenever fans see matches like that, they see it on WWE. And we all remember New Years Revolution 2006 when Edge cashed in unannounced. So why wouldn't the average fan not assume it could be cashed in at any time?

VR!

Machismo Fan

And Petey Williams did give notice, just not very much.

EdK

Was at the TNA show last night, great show, good matches a surprise Abyss appearance

And a major autograph signing after the show,I managed to get a t-shirt signed by Samoa Joe, Angle, Petey Williams, Doug Williams, Rhyno, James Storm, Abyss, Sonjay Dutt, Jeremy Borash, Aj Styles, Homicide, Hernandez

Most of them were sound too particular Hernandez, Angle and Joe

Angle looks extremely weird and very worryingly thin in that piccy

He looked fine when he was in the ring and stuff its probably just my very large head eclipsing him
