A new participant will be announced every 30 minutes on ImpactWrestling.com, the first 16 will be announced tonight. So far we know it is EC3, Kenny King and Drew Galloway. A 32 man tournament sounds like a very daunting task but with so much planning in advance it must be something interesting.
I actually like the idea of this tourament but the whole storyline is complete bullshit. I mean they could have had EC3 cheat to retain. Dixie strip him of the title because she's sick of his shit. They would still have been able to do this tourament.
It all makes sense now. TNA knew they won't tape shows after BfG but had about 70 matches left (pre-BfG). So they decided to vacant the belt and fill the next couple weeks of Impact with these matches.
It's fucking briliant! They figured out a way to make a bunch of random matches into "new episodes". I do hope that Matt gets another title run but this was a slick move by TNA. All they have to do is film a bunch of backstage stuff with the stars and they can make it all feel new as if we haven't even skipped a beat. Hell they can even do a few parking lot matches or backstage brawls and we would never know the difference.
32 participants? Is that the whole roster including the knockouts? I hope it's at least round robin and not a BFG series type tournament with points and shit.
They said an elite group so I assume it'll just be Gail and Kong. What I am wondering though is what happens to Tyrus? Does he end up facing the winner? Get shot to the finals? Or is he dropping his title aspirations and going for another belt. Maybe there can be some type of story where EC3 is able to convince him to enter himself and help EC3 go far? Then if EC3 wins Tyrus can cash in his opportunity and they go after the belt themselves when its over.
Its very smart of TNA to make the last episodes of impact on DA seem like fresh matches that mean something, but the whole EC3-legal thing was just stupid. Interesting to see how this whole tournament will play out.
So let me get this straight...for the next few weeks they are going to show us random previously taped but unaired matches and pretend they are new matches in a tournament to find a new champion?
So why are the KOs in it? Why is King still there? Why does Aries suddenly get to come back? Why all the random geeks? There's like what, 5 guys that you could actually believe could win the thing, add the three biggest stars after those and you got a maybe-legitimate tourney. Of course it might not matter anyway since EC3 still has the rematch and Tyrus has his golden ticket.
