Considering the build-up, "They" should've been a new group or someone we haven't seen in a while(ie a surprise).They could have just had Hogan and Bischoff turn, without alienating so many fans with this story line.

And turning Hardy heel was a dumb move, imo.As stated, he's horrible on the mic.All great heels are excellent on the mic and know how to get under people's skin(Flair,Jericho...).They would've been much better off turning Mr.Anderson.Imagine the heat he would get with his mouth and Hogan and Bischoff pulling the strings

Agree on Anderson, Jeff just won't work

I'm interested to see how this goes. Jeff hasn't been heel for a long time, so it could be good. I think he could change his moveset, because he's getting older and his body has taken a toll, so a heel turn and a change in moveset might be good for him. I'm surprised they'd turn him, because it was my understanding that Hardy was their best merchandise seller. Don't know if the heel turn will hurt that.

Also, does Angle retire now, or not? I believe Anderson was pinned, but I can't remember if Angle had to retire if he didn't win the title.

And I'm glad to see that Tara won the Knockouts title. I've always been a Victoria/Tara fan.

I watch the PPV last night. I thought it was great for the most part. the tag team title match was INSANE, the rvd abyss match was really good. the lockdown match was a blood bath and I had alot of fun watching it. as for the "they" stuff, I'll wait and see. Everyone is knee jerk to call it the new nwo. maybe it will be something different. maybe the heel turn is a way for hardy to get away from doing alot of his high risk move sets. his body has to be starting to fall apart after all these years. Maybe he will start teasing that he will hit the swanton and just stop. maybe he will start doing promos that talk about "how all the fans want is to see him destroy his body, and they don't care about him and they never had." for fans of the old ecw think of the mick foley anti hardcore promos. it could be great. I give them props for turning hardy and having the stones to turn their top star. unlike the wwe with cena.

i think that turning hardy heel is a great gambling . its a make or break move . but i agree with bigevil , i would like to see him do anti-hardcore promos with taking out all the makeup things

[maniacmike]

for all you TNA haters you all suck...like the WWE is doing anything great lately....lets spend 45 dollars for Hell in the Cell with no blood nothing.......please a waste of MY time and the whole Cena thing thats pathetic...I was at the pay per view and thaught it was a great show....plus I talked to many people at the event and asked them to compare Wrestlemania and Bound For Glory pre events and 90% of the people perferred TNA because of the cost,got more photo and autograph chances and was for the fans.

Your giving TNA creative FAR to much credit...

As for Cena, what are they suppose to do, Cena is a cash cow, you dont turn your cash cow heel, its not smart business..Until someone steps up in merchandise sales or Cena's sales goes down, nothing will change..Hardy nor anyone in TNA is a cash cow, which is why they can all turn heel by the week. (see the Pope for that example)

Uhm, sorry to burst your bubble but nobody in TNA is a 'big sell' everyone can be replaced and nothing will change as far as profit margin's go..TNA lacks to market anything about their product, including the performers.

Well said. They only man people even cared about seeing is now the enemy. It worked in 97. It Won't now. And if needed I can defend that.
