[QUOTE="wwe4ever_in05"] But haveing Hall and Nash teaming up with Joe is kind of a stupid idea, I know TNA is looking for some kind of thing to do different from WWE, and that a good idea in all but, not all this 6-man tag team matches and stuff.

I do not mind it on occasion where we have tag-team main event, however, when you are doing that kind of thing 2 pay-per-view events straight, seems kind of redundant.
Also, as the case was with Jarrett couple years back, kind of comes off as attempt to artificially extend Angle's run with the title.
Well, technically, last month's tag match was a defense. The Title was on the line, so it wasn't a completely artificial way to extend the title run. I definately see your point, though. For the record, it does not exactly help matters when Hall and Nash stop being good for main event work 5 years ago (if not longer). For that matter, if I were doing the booking, those guys would never see wrestling ring again, and just be used strickly for manager or manager-like roles. For example, stuff Nash was doing with Shelley year or so back is more along the lines of the kind of thing someone such as Nash (or Hall) should be doing. If you are asking me, same exact thing could be said for the Steiners.Link256
I understand the sentiment and to a degree I agree with everything you say. However, I'm still torn by this main event.Here's what I like about it. To this point, its been all about the Outsiders giving Joe the rub. They've stepped back to give Joe the mic time and Joe the spotlight, which they should. As of now, Hall and Nash have been doing there part to make Joe seem like a big deal and a main eventer again, which is what Joe needs and I don't really see too many other guys on the roster that could do that. They may be past their prime, but there's still a little allure left in the Outsiders and they're using that to benefit Joe, which I like. Coming out of the debacle that was his last feud with ANgle, this is exactly what Joe needs. So, I like that aspect and I really don't see any other way it could be done. And of course, they still have plenty of opportunities to ruin it as well, like say if Angle murders Joe again.
The other thing I like about it is that its a 6-Man. That should limit the damage Hall and Nash can do in the ring, especially with AJ, Angle and Joe around to carry the load and create movement around them. As I said, I think there's still an allure to the Outsiders, even if they are well past their prime (if Nash ever had a prime), and part of that is to see them wrestle again and this is the best way to do it, IMO. If they are going to be around and take up as much TV time as they do, there needs to be a payoff and this is the best way to limit their damage in delivering that pay-off, IMO. And again, at least they are also being used to help make (or in this case re-build) a star in Joe.
