Jerusalem posted:I remember the first time they announced it I couldn't understand why the gently caress anybody in Kayfabe would take part in a match where you had a 25% chance of getting fired. The fact it is still around all these years later is even more perplexing. I liked it when they did the Knockouts' version where they actually put the title belt in one of the cases. Tara was the reigning champ and that's how she lost her title. I believe it was because her contract was up soon and TNA didn't know if she would re-sign (she did, eventually) but they couldn't come up with literally any other idea.

RealFoxy posted:Didn't they also not tell Daffney she had to do a striptease which lead to more awkward moments though? I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. She definitely didn't want to do it, and Lacey Von Erich did the striptease instead.

AFAIK the "prizes" were Knockouts title, a match of your choosing, Tara's spider, and striptease.

DarkstarIV posted:Like someone posted earlier, the only winning strategy in Feast or Fired is to not take a briefcase. There was one Feast or Fired match where a series of dives left every single wrestler in a heap on the floor except Samoa Joe. All four cases were still available, he could've taken any one of them totally unopposed. He chose to just dive onto the pile of dudes instead.

Chris James 2 posted:Half the people who got briefcases opened them, it was down to Moose and EC3 This is actually pretty clever. It's like a game of chicken combined with a reversed Money In the Bank contract, you wait for all the others to open their briefcase and if one of them has the My Fired inside you're clear, if not you just don't open yours, ever. They could even make it a reoccurring thing with a guy carrying around multiple briefcases.

Wasn't there a Feast or My Fired? match where the guy who had the "My Fired?" case decided to leave the company, so they very quickly had him lose the case to another wrestler so that wrestler could open the case and learn it was their fired? I think it might have even been Aries? or perhaps Low-Ki?

FEAST OR FIRED I World Title: Scott Steiner gets the world championship briefcase, and Petey Williams gets the X Division briefcase, Steiner and Petey trade briefcases for reasons I cannot remember or figure out, then Steiner turns on Petey, leading to a match where the winner gets both briefcases. Steiner wins both, but then takes on Little Poppa Pump as his sidekick and gives him back the X Division briefcase. Tag Title: Road Dogg gets it via an assist from Billy Gunn, decides to use it with his dad instead of Billy Gunn, title match turned into angle-advancement for the Billy Gunn heel turn X Division: See World Title Pink Slip: Low Ki wins it, but in his last match before leaving the company he loses the briefcase to Christopher Daniels, who is "fired" so he could return as Curry Man. FEAST OR FIRED II: THEY AT IT AGAIN World Title: Hernandez Tag Title: Jay Lethal X Division: Homicide Pink Slip: Curry Man gets the Pink Slip, leading to the return of SUICIDE FEAST OR FIRED III: CHRISTOPHER DANIELS ISN'T EVEN IN THIS ONE World Title: Samoa Joe Tag Title: Kevin Nash, who with Scott Hall beat Matt Morgan in a handicap match for the titles because Morgan was the sole holder of the tag belts in storyline. Hall & Nash defend the belts once, then Nash swaps Eric Young in for himself for a second defense, then Scott Hall gets fired and the belts are vacated. X Division: Rob Terry, who gifts it to Doug Williams Pink Slip: Sheik Abdul Bashir (aka Daivari the Elder) who was legitimately fired FEAST OR FIRED IV: CURRY MAN IS BACK World Title: Gunner, who put it up in a BRIEFCASE ON A POLE match with James Storm Tag Title: EC3, who somehow lost this briefcase in a tag match against Gunner and James Storm X Division: Zema Ion Pink Slip: Chavo Guerrero, who was legitimately fired FEAST OR FIRED V: CAN GUNNER REPEAT? World Title: Austin Aries Tag Team: Magnus, who left for GFW and then "invaded" and invoked his briefcase as valid for any GFW talent and thus willed it to two unrelated wrestlers X Division: Rockstar Spud Pink Slip: Velvet Sky, who was not a participant in the match but helped Robbie E unhook the briefcase and thus was fired in his stead FEAST OR FIRED VI: I ALREADY FORGOT THEY HAD A KING OF THE MOUNTAIN TITLE World Title: Drew Galloway Tag Team: James Storm King of the Mountain: Eli Drake Pink Slip: Grado, except Eli Drake switched briefcases or something and Grado proved it so he won his job back in a ladder match and Eli Drake was not fired he just lost a ladder match FEAST OR FIRED VII: NOT YET AIRED Global Title: Moose X-Division: Petey Williams Tag Team Title: Eli Drake Pink Slip: EC3 I'm kind of surprised that there are only three out of seven "we're not really firing you" pink slips in there. It's also like pretty close to 50% "person wins title shot, has title match" in terms of storylines which is higher than I would have guessed.

when Chavo got the pink slip, he wasn't actually planning on leaving, but TNA then tried to use it to legitimately fire him, but they couldn't actually fire him because of his contract prohibited this absurdity, and then he got really mad and quit instead

Also: LOCKBOX CHALLENGE The actual Knockouts Title, not a title shot, just a belt in a box: Angelina Love A spider: Tara, who loses her title via random draw even though she won the match. But hey, free spider. Knockouts title shot: Velvet Sky, who gets a Leather and Lace match with Love (it didn't actually happen) Striptease: A visibly uncomfortable Daffney, who non-heel backstage interviewer Jeremy Borash stone-facedly forces to dance and strip telling her he'll fire her if she doesn't. Lacey Von Erich is involved, I don't know. Explosions fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jan 14, 2018 |

He's still a side mouthed canadian talkin bitchass fool tho.

VVVV Edit: You're attempting to find logic in a TNA storyline.

Edge & Christian posted:Tag Title: Road Dogg gets it via an assist from Billy Gunn, decides to use it with his dad instead of Billy Gunn, title match turned into angle-advancement for the Billy Gunn heel turn Oh my God I completely forgot about the Izzy Mendelbaum angle. If I remember right, Road Dogg refused to say what partner he wanted instead of Billy for several weeks, and we were meant to see Billy as the heel in this situation because he was upset? Then when Road Dogg finally revealed, Billy just went,"Oh, you should have just said, that's perfectly reasonable."

Getting of most of the really kills a lot of people's TNA scoops. It is a shuffling of the deck on that front. I don't really mean DIRT or trade secrets just the vibe of the locker room and what bullshit the rank and file are being told.

Gama Singh was a big stampede star who mentored Don Callis back when Don still wrestled. Gama was actually good though, so he's no Jinder....I assume he won't be wrestling, he's like 70. Edit: 63, but close enough
