Yeah but I think there's little to no Wednesday dates on it.

I assume we're at least getting close to it, between his face turn and the fact that this would be a chance for a few final dream matches. I mean, Jericho vs Nick Gage is definitely unlike anything he's ever done before. Whatever his final match is, he's gotta either put over MJF or Sammy, though.

Also, if Punk/Danielson are coming in, there’s less of a need to ensure Jericho has a presence every week to some degree.

Jericho losing to Sammy as his fifth labour and then transitioning the blowoff match to Sammy v MJF at All Out instead would be pretty awesome. Would also be a much better match than running back MJF / Jericho.

The fourth labour should be a spiritual successor to Le Dinner Debonnaire.

blunt posted:Didn't TNA do a reverse battle royale? That feels like something they would have done.. They did it twice, actually. The basic premise was "everyone starts outside the ring and has to get into the ring" except, being TNA, they took a stupid idea and made it absurdly complicated because once 8 people were in the ring they then had a Normal Battle Royal except for the last two guys who then had a Normal Match for a title shot. Except it turned out it wasn't for a title shot, the two battle royals + singles match were all just to determine the seeds in a single elimination tournament for a title match. Said tournament lasted the next few weeks of TV and it was a complete shitshow. The best part of the tournament was Rikishi/Junior Fatu winning his round 1 match and then immediately getting fired from the company, so he was replaced with Christian who wasn't even in the original battle royal. This culminated in the incredible/infamous finals match at Genesis 2007, which was a ladder match between Kazarian and Christian where they had to climb up and grab a clipboard with a title match contract on it. Except the contract fell off at some point but instead of fixing it the match just continued and they had to fight for an empty clipboard.

You know, if they wanted to keep doing the Stadium Stampede as a semi-regular thing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to more solidly codify the rules. Maybe everyone starts paired off somewhere in the stadium and pinfalls only count in the ring?

They already do a great job of rotating people so we don’t see Brian Cage or Jungle Boy every week. Basically just the champs are on every show, and even then, not in an exhausting way. I bet we will see a whole bunch of Punk and Bryan at first, and then they’ll settle into a groove. I wonder what the last few Labors of Jericho will be. It could be really cinematic if MJF does one of those “last challenge is Sammy, and if Sammy throws the match, the whole thing is off” bits. Probably not, but that would be a drat fine match.
