TNA Genesis (January 17, 2010)
So if you don't know there's a TNA PPV this Sunday or don't know what the card is, don't feel bad. Thanks to a lot of
scheduling weirdness this is one that has almost zero build. In a part of the year where WWE takes a rare break from PPV and has a lot of TV time to
build to the Rumble through the holidays TNA stayed on their usual 4 week schedule. The result was no show on Christmas Eve and a Knockouts special
on New Year's Eve. TNA then had their big January 4h show filled with surprises and then no new TV for 10 days until this week's Impact.
Where they then set up an entire PPV for 3 days later.
The only two really obvious things this PPV is being built on are Hulk Hogan's TNA PPV debut, which is kind of meh since its not like he's
wrestling or anything (Thank God), and AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle. Admittedly a big match with 4+ months of build but also a rematch from January
4th's encounter. AJ and Angle have locked up a number of times in the last 6 months but this is being billed as Angle's last shot at
AJ's title, and with all the hype of them being the best wrestlers in the world you have to think they want to show it. On the Hogan side
there's still lots of stuff simmering including the motivations of Ric Flair, the status of Jeff Hardy, and the new surprise acquisition
Hogan's been promising.
But meanwhile the rest of the card was tossed together in one week and while its pretty solid on paper I can't blame you for not caring about
it. Absent from this card are the new Knockout Tag Champions Awesome Kong and Hamada who did defend their belts on Thursday after winning them on
January 4th. Also missing is the Global Champion Eric Young who is about one week away from showing up on milk cartons and who I don't think
has defended that belt in months. There's some other key absences from the card, most notable Samoa Joe, who does have a way to get on the
card as he holds a MitB like contract for the World Title thanks to Feast or Fired. In addition "Big" Rob Terry (who is most certainly not an X
Division wrestler) has an X title shot he can use at any time and Kevin Nash has a tag title shot he can use at any time and with any partner, but
with the Outsiders occupied tonight you can assume it will stay in the case.
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
KURT�S ANGLE LAST SHOT AT AJ STYLE�S WORLD TITLE IN 2010
AJ Styles (champion) vs Kurt Angle
Styles and Angle have locked up many times over their years in TNA together and feuded a few times, but this latest chapter dates back to September at
No Surrender when AJ pinned Kurt Angle to take the TNA World Heavyweight title. Seeing as how the match was a 4 way contest including Sting and Matt
Morgan Angle insisted that AJ had not defeated him squarely, and a few weeks later AJ gave him a rematch that ended in a draw when Angle had AJ in the
ankle lock as the 20 minute time limit expired. For months since then AJ has successfully defended his title against Sting, Samoa Joe, Christopher
Daniels, and Tomko while Angle has been distracted by side issues with Morgan and Desmond Wolfe. But Angle has remained steadfast in his belief that
for as talented as AJ is he did not beat him 1-on-1 for that belt. Finally the rematch was set for Genesis but on TNA's January 4th special new
authority Eric Bischoff decided to make a special main event and give Angle his rematch then. In a match that saw Ric Flair observing keenly and led
Hulk Hogan to declare these the best wrestlers in the world AJ finally pinned Angle and proved once and for all that he was the rightful champ. But
with this match still on the books Angle will get another shot, and according to AJ his last shot of 2010. Ric Flair seems to have taken a special
interest in AJ and AJ appeared to have a rougher edge this past Impact, refusing to shake hands with Angle after Angle aided him in running off Tomko.
This may well be the same arrogance that former friends like Daniels and Tomko claimed AJ had when turning heel on him, or could be a new found
cockiness helped along by the influence of the Nature Boy. Whatever it is AJ and Angle will lock up again on PPV with the title on the line and with
everyone from Hogan to Flair to Jeff Jarrett calling them the best in the world they have a lot of hype to live up to.
The debut of the newest TNA Wrestling Major Superstar Acquisition - who will it be?!
Who will it be indeed? I have no idea. In the last 2 weeks we've seen Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, Ric
Flair, Jeff Hardy, Shannon Moore, Sean "Val Venis" Morley, Angelina Love, Tomko, Generation Me/The Young Bucks, and the Nasty Boys debut in or
return to TNA. And I'm probably forgetting someone. Meanwhile names like Rob Van Dam, Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson, Paul Heyman, Tommy
Dreamer, Brian Kendrick, and even Ricky Ortiz have been rumored as well. And there's still tons of wildcards out there like Bill Goldberg and
Shane McMahon or just random dudes. At this stage no one would surprise me and sadly TNA has a reputation for overhyping debuts so a "major
superstar" may well prove to be a disappointment. But if nothing else TNA's current mode has been interesting.
Beer Money, Inc. vs Kevin Nash and Scott Hall
In reality this story has at best 2 weeks of build but humor me as I do TNA's job and craft a backstory. For most of 2009 Beer Money were
involved in a tumultuous and heated tag team scene that included the British Invasion. Since the Brits won the TNA Tag Titles in October at Bound for
Glory Beer Money has warred with them trying to get the gold back but always falling to the trickery and numbers advantage of the Invasion and their
stable, the World Elite. When the Elite's leader Eric Young screwed over Kevin Nash Beer Money found an ally in their mutual disdain, but
Nash's greedy and selfish nature took over and he betrayed Beer Money for the riches Young could offer. This time it was at November's
Turning Point where Beer Money were getting what was said to be their last chance at the tag titles. In December Beer Money entered into the Feast or
Fired match, risking their careers for a chance at another tag title shot, but Young, Nash, and the World Elite entered the match with the explicit
intention to keep Beer Money from getting their shot. As luck would have it Kevin Nash would be the man who won the tag title shot. Now, with his
legendary tag partner Scott Hall (and running buddy Sean "X-Pac" Waltman) in TNA and with nWo buddies Bischoff and Hogan running the show Nash seems
primed to use his open ended tag title shot (like a MITB shot) to gain more power for him and his old friends. A possible threat to that was Beer
Money who had one more title shot scheduled on January 4th, but who were taken out backstage before the match. Beer Money concluded it was the former
Outsiders and requested this match.
So yeah, all of that REALLY happened but none of it has been connected by TNA. But we can pretend, right? In reality the former Wolfpac (and
apparently now called "The Band") showed up on the same day that Beer Money were laid out in a series of mysterious attacks. There's actually
nothing definitive linking the Wolfpac to the attacks (swerve warning) but Beer Money made the conclusion and Bischoff gave them the match. With Hall
clearly out of shape and Nash's knees shot the Outsiders aren't what they used to be, and Waltman's role is probably to help carry
his two big buddies. But with him not in the match (unless someone no shows) who knows how that will work? Lets just go crazy and imagine that Chris
Harris shows up and it becomes a 6 man tag. Why not?
�The Monster� Abyss vs �The Boss� Bobby Lashley
I have no idea why this match exists except in the continued "push" of Bobby Lashley that amounts to him just sort of being around and winning
matches, which is now framed as him being a heel who thinks he's above wrestling. This time surely could be better used. He has an MMA bout
scheduled for January 30th so I wouldn't expect much out of this, and honestly I half suspect he'll just refuse to fight. Which is fine
with me.
TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The British Invasion (champs) vs �The Blueprint� Matt Morgan and Hernandez
Morgan and Hernandez aren't what you'd call a full time tag team but they're not quite a makeshift team either. Ever since
Morgan's face turn and Hernandez' split from LAX the two have often tagged together and allied against mutual enemies such as the Main
Event Mafia and the World Elite. Most recently they were amongst a group of "young lions" who were at war with the veterans of Team 3D and Rhino.
Ultimately I guess all the tagging and winning caught someone's attention because on January 4th they ran over the former ECW Tag Champions of
Raven & Dr. Stevie Richards to get this tag title shot. And that's basically it. The British Invasion laid an attack on them this past Impact
to soften them up but this is basically a straight up story of a couple of guys who want gold, and the heel champs who manage to hold onto it by hook
or crook.
TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP
2 OUT OF 3 FALLS
ODB (champion) vs Tara
I hate this feud. I mean, its not actively bad or anything, its just really fucking boring and makes me dislike both ladies. ODB was the Knockout
Champion and Tara (WWE's Victoria) was the #1 Contender. ODB got all pissy about how Tara was just a washed up "Diva" who was trying to get
in on a good thing that the Knockouts built. So Tara naturally responded by crying, because that's what she does in TNA. And ODB turned heel
by smacking her upside the head, even if I could maybe sympathize a little. So they fought a bunch and had their title match and Tara won the gold,
and then she cried. Even though it was the second time she won it and its not really that prestigious. Then on New Year's Eve ODB won a one
night, 8 lady tournament for a title shot which she got on January 4th and won the title back thanks to a handful of tights. So now we get the rubber
match of sorts. ODB and Tara lock up in a 2 out of 3 falls match which I can only hope means its the end of this feud. I'm really probably
doing this feud a disservice but then again I'm not helping anyone if I tell you about that match where they were both drunk or anything
involving spiders. It won't be a terrible match or anything since they're both fine wrestlers, but I won't care. At all. And if
Tara wins she'll cry.
TNA X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
Amazing Red vs. (to be announced that night)
I bet you forgot Red was X Champ. I thought TNA did. He's had a host of title defenses since winning the title in a surprise upset over Samoa
Joe back in October, but most of them have been of the random X Division spot fest variety. Or in Webmatches no one watches. So now he's got
a mystery opponent and there's so many people to speculate about. Besides the existing X division wrestlers there are new arrivals such as Jeff
Hardy, Shannon Moore, or even Orlando Jordan. There's also more names rumored to come into TNA including Rob Van Dam and Brian Kendrick. And
besides the host of surprises an unlikely X Division contender looms as "Big" Rob Terry won an X Division title shot at Feast or Fired last month.
So your guess is as good as mine (although I'm going with Kendrick) but it seems like a good place to bring Red's Cinderella run to an end
and maybe make the X title relevant again.
Sean Morley vs Daniels
This one's easy because it has exactly 1 week of build. WWE's Val Venis debuted on January 4th in some backstage skits with the Beautiful
People. This past Impact he came to the ring and made reference to his past stage name and career but announced his new goals to bring "art" to TNA
under his real name. This included a couple of jabs at WWE Films. Daniels feigned interest in this idea but only long enough to set Morley up for a
cheap shot. Daniels made it clear that he saw Morley as scum and didn't want his type of sleaze in TNA, and the sanctimonious heel got a return
fight for it. So that's where we are. Simple, not terribly inspired, but potentially appealing to those who think their styles mesh well. And
in case you're thinking this is an "old vs young" match I'll point out that Morley is all of 22 days older than Daniels.
The Pope vs Desmond Wolfe
Another 2 weeks of build match rounds out the card as this story also started on January 4th. When Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan showed up and started
to rework Impact they set up the former Nigel McGuiness vs the former Elijah Burke in what the announcers saw as a bit of a lopsided match seeing as
how Wolfe had been co-main eventing PPVs with Angle the last 2 months and Dinero's been limited to midcard feuds with Suicide or the Dudleyz.
But Dinero assured everyone that he was up to the challenge and did in fact pull the upset over Wolfe on Monday Night. Needless to say Wolfe is
pissed while Dinero appears to be a special talent the new management has an eye on. So now they get a rematch where Wolfe seeks to avenge his loss
and prove Dinero's a fluke while The Pope is going to try to prove he's belongs with the best by making it 2-0 against Roofie. Oh,
that's right. Dinero calls Wolfe "Roofie" because "all dogs roof roof." The Pope is awesome.

The Pope is awesome. I loved his guest commentary and how he calls Desmond Wolfe "Roofie". Even with the lack of build on the card, I can't
help but be compelled to watch it simply because TNA's roster is awesome! I love how even the bad segments seem to go by quickly and transition
directly into an awesome segment. And it's got something for everyone. You even get riled up for their jobbers!

That's the thing with TNA: they could have had one show to build this PPV up, but it doesn't matter because the people who were going to
buy their PPVs already knew whether or not they were going to a month ago.

I'll give my quick predictions
AJ v. Angle - I think Angle is gonna get screwed over by Flair, so I'm picking AJ
Brits v. Hernandez/Morgan - this should be a solid match, and I really dig the B.I. I think they'll go over, hopefully clean for once. I believe
they've used chicanery the past few defenses.
Wolfe v. Dinero - I like Wolfe to get the win. I think this could be the sleeper match of the night.
ODB v. Tara - I'm disappointed they are having this match again after every other of their matches have blown. I'll pick Tara
Outsiders v. Beer Money - Beer Money is going to lose in screwy fashion like they always seem to do. I'm interested to see how big a train wreck
Scott Hall is. It's asking a whole lot for Nash to carry your tag team.
Red v ? - I dig Red, but I think ? will be someone who will take the title.
Lashley v. Abyss - I hope this match doesn't suck too much.
Mystery Person - If it's Atlas Ortiz or whatever his name was, I would love it in a sadomasochistic way. I hope it's not Kennedy.....Real
Name.
Morley v. Daniels - I think Morley got his licks in on impact to have some kind of 1 up on Daniels before the Fallen Angel wins.
(Edit- forgot about Daniels)

With the "mystery pickup", they did hammer home the fact that he's a guy who "could win the World Title if he wanted to", which is pretty
vague because any athlete in any sport could win a championship if they wanted to, but in Pro Wrestling, I take that as they picked up a huge guy.
Or it could be typical pro wrestling, where they just assume fans will be alright with debuting a big name as though he's never been with them
even if he was on a show previous, but only make a big deal out of it because this time he "has a contract", so I may bet on Jeff Hardy.

Joe isn't even on the card? Weird. Myabe he'll cash in and win the title after a brutal AJ/Angle match. I hope not because I'm
liking AJ as champ.

I'd bet money its RVD or Kennedy. There's a few other wildcards like Goldberg or *shudder* Sid but I wouldn't really expect
some kind of massive, huge, game changing name. Because I think you can just be practical and say "Who is even available?" It seems unlikely that
TNA managed to swipe someone from WWE to the point where even WWE doesn't know, so then it comes down to who is out there. And you can come up
with some "never gonna happen" things like Brock Lesnar or some retired has beens like Randy Savage but when you come down to practical "big"
names Kennedy and RVD are about as big as seem possible. Paul Heyman or Shane McMahon would probably be bigger but besides those being real outside
shots it sounds like they're billing the new guy as a wrestler.
So they'll debut someone relatively big but not really "huge"... it will underwhelm us because it will be a name we've talked about for
weeks or months and a name that isn't really much of a game changer because there really aren't that many who are... and another wrestling
announcement will feel overhyped because we're so obsessive and talk so much that its hard to really surprise us these days.
EDIT: My quick predictions...
Kendrick debuts and wins the X title.
I think the Tag Title can go either way as it makes sense to give them a little feud. I'll go with the heels.
Part of me thinks the random and meaningless Lashley match just won't happen as Kristal announces that Bobby's got an MMA match in 2 weeks
so he's not going to wrestle a meaningless match with a monster.
I actually think Tara/ODB will be better than I give it credit for but I still don't care. I'll just hope Tara wins.
I'm torn on Wolfe/Dinero and have no idea. Dinero could really use the win to get over that his win wasn't a fluke, but Wolfe really
needs a win as he's 0-2 on PPV and is starting to look like he can't win the big match. I'll go with the Pope and maybe
"can't win the big match" becomes a thing with Wolfe.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Beer Money win and then the Wolfpac either get a little post match revenge or just start to fade away.
Daniels over Morley, I hope. I won't hate it if Morley wins to cement him as a player, but I'd much, much prefer it if Daniels gets the
duke as Morley doesn't really need anything unless you're planning a main event run... which I hope not as much as I like the guy.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nastys/Dudleyz happens unannounced, Dudleyz win a quick one, and Nastys leave.
I think Flair will screw Angle and start AJ's heel turn, but its Russo so I wouldn't be surprised if we get swerved and Flair helps Angle.
I'll go AJ.

Just thought I'd mention this, but TNA recently revamped its website and, with it, its roster. The Nasty Boys, Orlando Jordan, Ric Flair, Sean
Morley, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman all got added to it, but there's no sign of Jeff Hardy anywhere. So even though it probably won't be
him, be ready for a disappointment if they do announce he's the big pickup.
Also, be prepared to see the Nasty Boys for a while.

I can't see it being JR. Especially with him being out on the sick list at this point, with his own blog stating that his goal is WM 26. I never
saw JR as the "OMG I totally got youz with fake newz!" type.
I'm horrified to have the thought that Amazing Red's opponenet may turn out to be Waltman, given that he has nothing to do on Sunday
except interfere in the match.
I have no original thoughts on who the other mystery guy is, but good money is probably Kennedy.
It was like teabagging a bear cub in front of its mother. The sheer shocking audacity of it is the only thing that saved you.

Unless JR is really playing everyone on his blog, I don't think it's going to be him.
I don't mind the 6 sided ring going. With the death of the X-Division, the 6 sided ring isn't really needed anymore. I was under the
impression that's why they had the 6 sided ring, but I could be wrong. It seems like one of those changes that will me you go 'oh the ring
is different' and then you won't care.

I'm not sure the 6 sided ring was ever "needed." The whole "2 more corners for the X division to jump from" never really made a ton of
sense to me and while I think there were some matches that benefited from the 6 sided ring I don't think it was many. The one thing I'll
miss is "six sides of steel" because I thought TNA's cage really did have more oomph to it because of the tighter confines.
But mostly I stopped noticing the 6 sided ring pretty early on and I'm sure I'll stop missing it pretty soon. It was a quirk that made
them "different" but in the end, whatever. At least people will stop complaining about it and move onto the rest of the list of "Why TNA sucks
because it isn't aesthetically the same as what I'm used to."
And no, I wouldn't expect JR at all. (1) I really doubt its any WWE guy because I really doubt WWE would be dense enough in 2010 to fall victim
to a Lex Luger incident. (2) I don't think JR is the sort of guy to burn his bridges with WWE for something like this. If he ever wanted to go
to TNA he'd give his notice to WWE and do it professionally, I believe. (3) I think its a wrestler.

JR would be a big deal in the way that Heyman and Shane would be big deals. He's a well respected creative mind, a hall of fame commentator,
and a key part of WWE's system. It would only make sense as a "huge acquisition" if there was a story to it like him being the creative mind
behind a rehash of something. JR is a lot more than just an announcer so him being in TNA could realistically be huge backstage if it helped them
grow as a wrestling company, and that COULD be represented in an onscreen role even if things are a little complicated there already with Bischoff,
Hogan, Dixie, Foley, and Jarrett. But if you were doing a story about how someone is reshaping TNA and really pushing talent to make themselves
special then there aren't too many people I'd think are better to put in that spot than JR.
But again, I don't think JR is the guy and I think TNA has presented it as a wrestler. And on the off chance that it IS JR while I think
that's a nice pickup for TNA its a silly move to hype him like that.
We should really all just stop speculating and just resign ourselves to Kennedy so that it isn't as disappointing when it happens in 6 hours.

I think it's a great move to get rid of the gimmicky ring. I know it's used in Mecixan/Lucha companies, but North American wrestling is
the squared-circle.
I found matches awkward, when wrestlers where thrown into the corner, they almost had to make a quick decision which one to choose, and some have sort
of veered off and hit what I think was the wrong one. I know that seems nitpicky and small, but it matches always seemed awkward and that is just one
explanation/example as to why.
Another one would be that the vast, vast majority of indie talent come up wrestling in a four sided ring, get used to the ropes and the angles so
there is an unnecessary learning curve when joining TNA.
Is it the wwe size 20x20 or the WCW size 16x16? I assume it won't be the indie size of 12x12.
I'm surprised they're making the switch on a PPV as eventhough all of the talent has worked in square rings in the past there could be
some layout issues and mistakes if the wrestlers are used to the firmer/tighter ropes from the 6-sided ring and find themselves with the slacker ropes
of the four sided variety.
Regarding JR as a possibility, TNA has been trying to get him and Tenay is worried about the possibility and his job security, however I don't
think it would be Ross. I don't think he'd risk making the jump - even if he has been fired and embarrassed by the wwe, there is certain
job security there. Also being with the wwe is good for barbecue sauce business given the much bigger fan base. Now maybe TNA could offer unlimited
free advertising or something, and equal pay, less hours/travel I just don't think Ross would burn that bridge to the wwe.
I think it's definitely Kennedy.

1) Kendrick beats Red for the X-Title
2) RVD is debuting (please?)
3) Losing the 6-sided ring is retarded. It was one of the things (like weird gimmick matches and face/heel entrances) that made TNA stand out from
every other wrestling company.
Now it's WCW 2K10.

There's some rumors going around that shocking Hall is off the card. Supposedly he put on trunks for the first time in a long time and realized
he was fat, so begged off the card to save his dignity. Plan B being Waltman, supposedly he too is begging off for some reason. Plan C is apparently
Eric Young.
I have no reliable link to give this to you and it might well be total horseshit from that idiot breed of smark who likes to make stuff up because he
gets some weird and pathetic kick out of seeing fake spoilers posted or duping people for an hour. But then again its also what we're all
expecting anyway.

Hall should hang out with Knobbs and Sags then. He might not feel as self-conscious after that.
Or just wrestle in a baggy t-shirt and jeans. That's always a good look.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

Worth watching for James Storm promo and to remember that So Cal Val is employed. And Val interviews Sean Morley and they make me chuckle.

Note no tunnels and a ramp going from the stage to the ring.
