I prefer American Males rules, where they play the American Males theme song for the duration of the match until someone gets a pinfall.

Does Buff Bagwell perform to the American Males theme like New Jack performs to Natural Born Killaz?

- Fall 1: Pinfall
- Fall 2: Submission
- Fall 3: Escape the cage

ULTRA MALE

So its... a Three Stages of Hell match inside of a cage?

 

[JdFoX187]

The same goes for almost every other feud in TNA, quite honestly. The feuds never end and when they do end, the storylines get even more ridiculous.

We're going on six months for the Cole/Lawler feud. It's the same in WWE too.

I think the difference being that as it stands right now, Cole/Lawler have only had one fight/match.

Where this is like JJ/Angle's 3rd or 4th match

It's more ridiculous in TNA. Joe vs. D'Angelo Dinero has gone on for just about the same amount of time. Angle vs. Jarrett, Hernandez vs. Morgan...

yeah but Cole and Lawler are worthless otherwise, with someone like Angle (and to a lesser extent Jarret) you'd think they'd use them to try and get younger guys over instead of just fighting each other all the time.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

You're joking.... right?

Angle and Desmond Wolfe had a GREAT match just like this at Final Destination 2009 (Three Degrees of Pain)

Don't hate the rules, hate the players. (one of them anyway)

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Submission only yet the ref is counting the pin? Oh TNA you make me laugh.

 

[Penguin]

Wait.. so the first fall is a submission.. and the ref..tried to count 3...

And they are explaining it now...

That's true. It does remind me of way back a year or two after Austin turned heel at X7 how he and Angle had so many PPV matches in a row for the WWE Title. Only reason I really remember was because of Austin getting thrown into a river.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Long feuds shouldn't be the issue, it should be about the quality of the feud

Wait.. so the first fall is a submission.. and the ref..tried to count 3...

And they are explaining it now...

He gone fucked up

 

[spindashing]

Gahtahmay. Not Gahtahmee..

 

[Net_Wrecker]

There's nothing wrong with long feuds or a lot of matches between 2 guys, it's just TNA's execution to be faulted here. Kevin Steen and El Generico feuded for a whole year in ROH recently, + HBK and HHH had a 2 YEAR LONG FEUD with tons of matches between them.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

They've made it so obvious Jarrett will the 2nd fall. There is no suspense at all.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Srsly. Just make the 2nd fall quick and get to the Escape the Cage part. This entire 2nd fall is pointless.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

RKO? Diamond cutter?

Edit: actually shaking my head. What happened there? So damn sloppy.

 

[Professor Beef]

Did Angle just do a Diamond Cutter?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol Did the ref fuck up?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Nobody knows what the hell is going on.

 

[Penguin]

That's true. It does remind me of way back a year or two after Austin turned heel at X7 how he and Angle had so many PPV matches in a row for the WWE Title. Only reason I really remember was because of Austin getting thrown into a river.

And even then they really only had 3 PPV matches, which is about standard for a WWE feud these days.

Then they switched roles with Austin being face and Angle being heel for one more match.

 

[Charmicarmicat]

Not watching but if Angle went for a Diamond Cutter I'm guessing it's in retaliation to Orton using the Angle Slam hehe.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Ugh. Why does this stupid shit happen all the time? Just leave the fucking cage. Touch the mother fucking god damn floor AND THEN walk back in and lock the cage and continue the beat down. FUCK THIS GOD DAMN SHIT.

The problem with the long TNA feuds is they waver and change to much and drastically during it's run.
TNA:
Angle vs. jarret. Angle retires, Jarret mocks Angle, Angle returns, Karen returns. Jarret is clearly the heel. Then out of nowhere, on a PPV no less Jarret apparently "turns" by being an awesom father, the type of father Angle couldn't be. Angle then turns into a crazed, homicidal stalker. The only consistency is Karen being a bitch.

Pope vs Joe. Joe spies on Pope, who was a face at the time for no reasons. Pope denies it and for weeks they play up the idea that maybe Joe was lying, so we don't know who the fuck is a face or heel. Kato arrives, Pope turns full heel by being a bigger dick than Joe is and god this is stupid.

Matt morgan injures hernandez while he is a heel. After that he is slotted into the major heel faction. He falls out of it and Hernandez returns as a latino supremacist. No explanation why, it's just how it is now.
ROH: Steen/Generico lose the tag titles. Kevin Steen talks to Steve Corino, Corino convinces Steen he is better alone, Steen is tired of losing, beats up his tag partner.

That's it. No twists, no swerves every week. Just good guy vs douchebag.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Oh my botch.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

HOLY CRAP KURT ANGLE IS DONE

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Oh man, Kurt's neck...

 

[eggybob]

That looked nasty.

 

[Zhengi]

Wow at Angle!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

HOLY CRAP KURT ANGLE IS NOT DONE!!

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

If that neck shit was intentional, I've lost even more respect for TNA. They really don't give a shit about their wrestlers.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Was Angle searching for something in his balls?

Anybody have link to that TNA Cage match where nobody could get out of the cage?

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Hey Kurt, you locked the door remember? Oh yeah, he is concust.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Was Angle searching for something in his balls?

The key to the cage lock is in there somewhere.

 

[dream]

Kurt's going to do some sort of dive isn't he

 

[Ninja Scooter]

oh no there's a guy outside with a chair! I better not win the match by falling on him!

 

[remnant]

who cares if gunner hits you. Win the match Angle!

 

[Penguin]

Did Kurt miss ALL of that?

 

[Brinbe]

fuck... why, kurt? =(

 

[Zhengi]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

 

[eggybob]

How is Kurt not in a wheelchair?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Kurt Angle with a RKO, probably too piss off Randy Orton for using his angle slam

 

[spindashing]

HOLY JANET JACKSON'S LEFT TITTY

 

[Net_Wrecker]

KURT IS DONE AGAIN HOLY CRAP!!!!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Steiner heel turn incoming! =/

 

[Keyser Soze]

KURT used FULL RESTORE...

...he gained HP.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Karen's got lady spray for Kurt!!

 

[Plywood]

To people not watching... Is Kurt dying in the ring?

 

[Brinbe]

this fucking company

 

[remnant]

So what did Evan Bourne do to piss Angle off.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Karen used Arrogance (tm) on Kurt.
