Who gets the next title push?

Griff0rd · 10-16-2006, 11:36 AM

There are many people in TNA that are currently in a storyline that has something to do with the TNA title... SO my question is who is going to get the next title push.

I think the obvious choice would be Samoa Joe. He has the title in his hands right now and won't give it up until he gets his shot....

Kurt Angle will also have his shot in no time at all. I think a good argument can be made around him getting a puch.

Christian Cage also is in the running as he has not lost yet in his own words. He IMO also has a very foerseeable shot at the title.

Sting will most likely win the title, so the former champ Jeff Jarrett would also be in the picture...

Don't forget about Abyss as he is also wanting his title shot and is after the title that Joe is holding now to get it...

With all of this in mind who is it that you see will get the osuh, and also who is most deserving of a push....

Question #2 that the title picture brings to mind is how important will it be for TNA to bring in a secondary heavyweight title in the future with all of this legit talent around the NWA title currently?

TNA changes plans way too often but right now I'd have to say it plays out likes this.

Sting will beat Jarrett, winning the title.

Joe will win the Monster's ball match.

Angle will squash some people, until the Joe vs Angle happens. Probably in November.

Jarrett will get a rematch vs Sting in November, with Sting probably going over.

Joe vs Angle could go either way, I think Joe SHOULD WIN, but Angle will and then he'll fight Sting.

Christian will be upper midcard for the forseeable future IMO.

Well, Angle is garunteed to be champ in the next year, as stated on is contract, but Joe IMO, the man is like a God in the impact zone and carries ROH, he could carry TNA aswell.

I think ECW probably made Kurt an offer, which includes he gets a title shot soon. Why would he not take time off unless he was promised some real quick success in TNA

Imo the current rankings for a title shot are:
Jarrett (C)
Sting
Joe
Cage
Abyss
Angle

Kurt Angle is last cause he hasent done anything yet and i dont think TNA will give him a shot straight away. Abyss is fifth because he has been in quite a few title matches and came close but never close enough. if Abyss is going to become champ he has to do it by the end of 2007 otherwise forget about it. Christian Cage is fourth because hes the former champion and as hes quick to remind everyone hes yet to be pinned. Samoa Joe is third because you dont really have a choice with this guy. he simply has to become champion sooner rather than later. Sting because hes the number one contender and it will be a huge waste if he doesnt get the title and then put Joe over before he leaves. Jarrett, one of my favourites but i cant see him holding on to the title against sting. Imo this is his last title reign for a few monthes at least.

Other guys that you didnt mention but could be thrown in if needed. Scott Steiner. He cost a good bit of money and should be in title picture even if hes never going to win the title. Rhino, not the best wrestler but has shown he can step up and fill the position, especially if Abyss is the number one contender, they could destroy the ring. Monty Browne & Ron Killings, too late for these guys, forget about them.

And the guy who should be champion right now, Raven. the build up to his title reign was done brilliantly and he should be back in the picture soon enough.

Future title reigns for me: Jarrett, Sting for 2 monthes, Joe for 6 monthes, Angle for 4, Jarrett for 2, Raven for 3, Joe again

i think they need to work the kurt angle story the right way. you give him the title too soon, you ruin the whole 'push' you'd get seeing him beat up people 'climbing the mountain'. if jarrett's ego doesn't get in the way, he shouldn't get another title for awhile after he drops it to sting. i'd like to see someone like joe take it from sting and set up a big brawl with angle 3 or 4 months down the road.
also, i do think tna should add another heavyweight of some kind to put a little gold around the waist of another guy. i think this would help fuel another secondary storyline.
