Where Do You See The Immortal / Fortune Stables Heading?

[Guest Jamster26]

Or what direction would you like to see it go?

 

Personally, I think the rivalry has gone on for long enough and think it would be for the best, if they split the groups and focused on them more, as individuals. (Prime example, giving Roode his big push. I think he's being held back in Fortune.)

 

You'd hope it would limit the amount of air time Hogan and Bichoff get also if they disbanded Immortal, so there's another reason.

 

Anyway, what do you think should be done?

[Guest Suphix]

I think there's room for an Immortal-type stable in TNA - just not Immortal. I think they could head up a decent stable, get shut of Hogan/Flair/Bischoff, give a bit more young blood a chance. Change the awful name, scrap the dreadful music and give it a good shakeup. I'd be interested in anything they do then as long as Bischoff isn't making a dogs dinner of it.

 

That said there are probably too many stables in TNA, and I would get shut of several. Fortune being one, there's a team of solid guys there that could do well in singles and the stable itself doesn't really lend anything to them. HOWEVER.... beer money are just awesome. Don't be touching the beer money!

 

That is all.

Towards some anti-climactic end.

We kind of did this in the who should be in immortal thread already but really Bully Ray, Gunner and probably Abyss should be a stable but not in Immortal. The balance is perfect with Ray as the mouthy leader, Gunner as the blue chipper and abyss as the muscle. Steiner can go solo again, he doesn't need Immortal. The Jarretts are the only ones who need to Immortal association really and having Jarrett as the in ring guy, Karen as the knockouts GM and Hogan or Bischoff in charge of everything else works.

 

Fortune are fin really, they've barely been a group since the big cage match a few PPV's ago. Beer Money are far and away the core of the group but since it really looks like they will split once Roode wins the world title then fortune should split at that point as well. Aj doesn't need it, Daniels is boring and brings nothing to the group in my opinion, Kaz for all his skill is really just a hanger on in the group and could be used much better on his own as well. His segments with Kendrick when Abyss had the X division title were actually really funny.

[Guest BratSan]

AJ/Kaz/Beer Money being in a stable really doesn't make any sense. They are all better off as singles wrestlers. Roode seems to be finally getting the singles push that he so richly deserves. Immortal can f*ck off. God AWFUL name and God AWFUL wrestlers bar Brother Ray and Steiner.

[Guest John Hancock]

I'd scrap Fortune pretty unceremoniously, and keep Immortal going with only a few guys and maybe a relatively frequently changing line up so they guys who need it can get in there with a guy like Buh Buh or Steiner, neither of who should be main eventing anything, but both of who are over enough to help get younger guys over by association.

[Omega 354]

It's kind of funny when you think about it, how that even in TNA where he's barely got any competition to really be main eventing Bubba is still just about haning around the top of the mid card and hasn't made any leap to actually break the glass ceiling. For me he was always one of those tag guys who you wonder if he could go on and be good as a singles guy and the answer pretty much has been "meh".
