I sent this to one of my buddies who has a TNA blog. Its predictions, but with a twist, basically its who I'd book to win. Check it out:
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Daniels vs "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles (c)
The match itself has taken a back seat to all this Mick Foley/Jeff Jarret/Dixie Carter garbage. Its unfortunate but true, even though the match is for the World Title, it lacks hype and I’m not sure how many people even know its on the card. Either way, I think it could be a MOTY candidate, both workers know each other so well, if TNA gives them the right amount of time, they could tear the house down.
Who should win: AJ Styles
THREE DEGREES OF PAIN
Desmond Wolfe vs. Kurt Angle
This feud has been amazing from beginning to end, I honestly would rather see a normal match to end it, but the 3 Stages of Hell style match definitely won’t disappoint. If I was booking, I’m not sure who I’d give the “W” to. Considering Kurt Angle is getting a title shot next month, it would make perfect sense to give him the victory here. However, I really like Desmond Wolf so it’ll be a hard decision. In a way, the 3 stages of hell stipulation is going to work here, because if Angle wins in 3 matches, you could make the argument that Desmond Wolfe was skilled enough to at least pin the Olympic Gold Medalist once.
Who should win: Kurt Angle
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
Bobby Lashley vs. Scott Steiner
Why is this feud still going on…and on…and on? Steiner sucks, plain and simple. I love his promos, but in the ring, he’s a broken down man who needs to think about retiring. I’m sure this has been said over a thousand times by many different people on the interwebz, so I guess there was no point in repeating it. Lashley should win, and move on to bigger and better things.
Who should win: Bobby Lashley
CHALLENGE MATCH
Raven & Dr. Stevie vs. Mick Foley & Abyss
This is another one of those feuds that should have ended a looooong time ago. If you think about it, Abyss has been feuding with Dr. Stevie since Slammiversary. That was 6 months ago!! I think Dr. Stevie/Raven will end up getting the win, they’ll run an angle where Foley is too distracted mentally by all this Hogan crap, that he’ll end up costing Abyss the match and maybe turning heel in the process. If I was booking however, I’d do something simple. Abyss/Foley win, they celebrate in the ring, and the feud ENDS.
Who should win: Abyss/Foley
TNA TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
Motor City Machine Guns vs. the British Invasion (c)
Final Resolution should be the PPV where the Guns finally win the tag belts. Its been waaaaaay too long since they’ve been in the title picture, they’ve put on so many memorable matches, they are an amazing tag team that deserves at least one reign with the straps. The Brits have held the titles since Bound For Glory, its time for a changing of the guard in the tag division. Give the belts to The Motor City Machine Guns, for the love of god!
Who should win: The Motor City Machine Guns (I forgive you Shelley, for asking for 5K for a fuckin interview!)
KNOCKOUTS TITLE MATCH
Tara vs. ODB (c)
With Roxxi returning on iMPACT!, it would be great to see her inserted into the Knockout Title picture. But I guess they need to build her up first, until then, they should give the belt to Tara. ODB is a terrible champion, she’s done nothing with the belt, and I’ve been waiting for someone to beat her for it since she won the damn thing.
Who should win: Tara
FEAST OR FIRED MATCH
One TNA Superstar will be fired from the company
This will be a clusterfuck, there’s like 24087 guys in the match. I hope they actually reveal whats in the case at the PPV instead of making us wait for iMPACT! Isn’t that why people pay 30 bucks for the damn show? To see the outcomes of storylines and feuds? We shouldn’t have to wait for the free TV show to see what the cases contain. I can’t make a prediction for this, because I don’t know who all the competitors will be. All I can say is, I think either Kiyoshi or Homicide will end up with the Fired case. Beer Money will probably get the Tag Title shots, and Samoa Joe SHOULD get the World Title shot.
Who should win: N/A
8 MAN ELIMINATION
Team 3D, Rhino and Jesse Neal vs, Pope, Matt Morgan, Hernandez and Suicide
The heels have had waaay too much of an advantage so far in this feud. They’ve won every match, they’ve done everything to make the fans think the young stars just aren’t in their league. Because of this, Morgan’s team MUST get the victory at Final Resolution. If they don’t, they’ll look like a bunch of jobbers, they might even be buried. We suffered through this type of booking with the MEM storyline, please TNA, don’t make us do it again.
Who should win: “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero, Matt Morgan, Hernandez, and Suicide.
