Allow me to Ruin the Surprise

NEWS: |TNA PWI| Mick Foley will make his debut this Thursday night on iMPACT!. The episode has already been taped and Foley debuts at the end of the night…

Jeff Jarrett came to the ring and cut a promo on Sting, saying that he was full of garbage. Jarrett said that Samoa Joe and AJ Styles were carrying this company, and that they were carrying the company before the Kurt Angle’s and Sting’s came to the promotion. Kurt Angle came to the ring and stated that when Jarrett left the company two years ago he handpicked Angle to take him place. Angle said that it was the worst decision he ever made, and that Jarrett left because he was washed up. Angle challenged him to a match at Bound for Glory. Jarrett said that he didn’t have it in him anymore, but that he knew someone who did. He pointed to the screen and Mick Foley appeared and said, “BANG BANG!” Jarrett left Angle in the ring, as Angle stood there looking shocked.

This is an awful debut. It’s beyond cliche too. TNA thinks they’re throwing in a swerve, but it’s just a big let down. TNA usually has original ideas, but this is not one of them. WWE has done this set up for years: Two guys confront each other, fans think they’ll fight, one of the guys surprises the other with a different opponent.

In other news, it looks like Jarrett is returning as a heel after all. Nice touch by TNA on that one. Clearly they’re building up Jarrett as a face and will unload the surprise later on. I picked up on this when reading his promo. Jarrett said he doesn’t have it in him, but Foley does. Well played Jarrett, you’re already lying to the fans…the mark of a true heel.
