Some dude on my Facebook asked if anyone was going to BFG in Ottawa, I responded saying I bet there will be 5 people there total.

He said "they announced it's sold out", which I find impossible to believe. I went on the site and was able to put 10 tickets in the cart... TNA isn't actually doing the WCW thing of saying a show is sold out when they need to be selling tickets are they?

Checking their website, they have sold out.

Sold out the first three rows, which by my count is 180 seats. Everything else is considered General Admission, and they still have plenty of those seats available.

STOP DOING HEROIN
Just a random thought, but boy did Moose's stock fall in a hurry. It wasn't that long ago that he was considered one of the hottest prospects in the country (or at least hot enough to get NXT rumors), and now nobody's talking about him. DeAngelo Williams got more buzz in a random one-off match than Moose has gotten all year.

I feel like Moose's drop is a combination of him going to TNA and the rise of Jeff Cobb and Keith Lee to take his place of lovable big indy people.

Just in case people don't know this is (seriously, I'm making 0 words of this up) the BFG card for Nov 5 in Canada

Eli Drake (accompanied by Chris Adonis) defends the world title against Johnny Impact
Trevor Lee defends the X title in Ultimate X against Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, Matt Sydal, Garza Jr, and Dezmond Xavier
OI4K (Dave and Jake Crist) defend the tag titles in a 5150 Street Fight against all of LAX (Ortiz, Santana, Konnan, Homicide assuming he shows up this time, and Diamante)
Sienna defends the Knockouts title in a four-way against Gail Kim, Taryn Terrell, and Allie
Moose and Stephan Bonnar fight Lashley and King Mo in 6 Sides of Steel
Grado vs Abyss in Monster's Ball; Grado loses, he's deported
Rosemary vs Taya Valkyrie in First Blood
Team Impact (EC3, Eddie Edwards and James Storm) vs Team AAA (El Hijo del Fantasma, Pagano, and Texano)

Gail Kim is going to retire with the title.

edit: Just as a reminder, James Storm had to tell the fans that Impact vs AAA is not USA vs Mexico. You know, despite how it was framed from day one.

This is (I am making GBS threads you not) the culmination of an almost 2 year long storyline where Grado was fired and has been overstaying his visa illegally.

Including the surprise twist of Grado wasting months on trying to marry Laurel Van Ness when if he'd checked Wikipedia literally once anytime before, he would have found out immediately that she's Canadian and thus he can't marry her to stay in America

I don't know the context but I assume there's like a feud or something going into this rather than "gently caress it, your match is first blood, figure out it bitches"

IIRC from the tapings: Taya debuted and just kept constantly kicking Rosemary's rear end, and eventually even misted her, so Rosemary got pissed because that's her thing, misted her back, and wants her blood

It's probably honestly the best feud on that card.

Impact/AAA is rivals EC3 and James Storm having to learn to work together to fight off the literal foreign menace,
Ultimate X clusterfuck needs no description,
LAX lost their belts to the debuting Crists and are using their rematch clause in a street fight with literally every member, including Diamante (a woman), Homicide (didn't appear all tapings), and Konnan (chronic injuries),
If Grado Loses He's Deported,
Knockouts title feud is just a big open farewell to Gail Kim who's retiring this year,
Moose vs Lashley the MMA Feud,
John Morrison getting a world title because otherwise it means Eli Drake's getting a lengthy world title reign,
And Del Rio comes back.

So yeah, for better or worse, seems like the standout feud/part of the show (was going to say match but Ultimate X will probably be that)
