I love A.J. Styles so i'm definitely gonna watch it.

Same. I'm looking forward to Aries vs Shelley also. That should be epic.

Some good matches there - good to see Styles on the card. Where's Angle though? The fatal-four-way match could be good, I'm hoping Roode is going to come out champion but I got a feeling Storm will. As ever my favourite match will be the Austin Aries match, become a big fan of this guy. It's nice to see a tag-team match which means something too, last time their match at Wembley really impressed me. Though I presume this is in the IZ yeah?

Yeah it is sadly, as soon as they get out of that place the better. As for Kurt I have no idea what he's going to do. It's possible he interferes in the ME costing Storm the win.

I was pretty shocked not to see him on the card - though it's not strange since Styles wasn't on the last PPV. Anywho, why have they not got a better place than IZ yet? They seem to have this money to go to India and start something there, why not move out of this tiny space with a quiet crow?

I doubt they have enough financial clout to take the gamble. They make a profit I think but I'm not sure if the Carters are that invested to go on the road constantly. It's a case of not throwing money around it seems. The good thing is Spike are backing some of the on the road impacts so they should be more often as time goes on.

I hope so, it makes for better viewing. Not seen a crowd like that Wembley crowd since MITB 2011.

- Crimson and Morgan
- Styles
- Aries
- Tara
- Zema Ion

You're probably right apart from Hardy and Tara. I can't see either champion losing their title tbh.

 

[Arrow1]

I couldn't care aless for the womans knockout title, although the womans division on TNA is 200% better than WWE's... I really think Hardy will win though, I just have that funny feeling.

I hope he doesn't after the VR incident tbh. He's still not trust worthy.

 

[Arrow1]

Then who would you want to win? (Assuming that the championship changes hands)

If it had change then Storm, however I want and think Roode will retain. A long reign is required after the way the title has been hotshotted the past year or so.

Looks like it will be a good show

Thoughts/predictions (note that I haven't read spoilers for Impact so my ideas may be outdated lol)

1 Crimson and Matt Morgan © vs. Samoa Joe and Magnus Tag team match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship
I REALLY hope Joe/Magnus take this. I could see Crimson/Morgan losing by miscommunication and brawling after, ultimately leading to their feud that will end with Morgan putting Crimson over. Not sure if this is the time though. It's been built well, but they may try to stretch it out further.
2 A.J. Styles vs. Kazarian Singles match
This will be entertaining. I think Christopher Daniels will interfere and help Kaz win.
3 Austin Aries © vs. Alex Shelley Singles match for the TNA X Division Championship
Aries won't drop the belt yet, he is going to get a monster run, and deservedly so. This will be MOTN
4 Gail Kim © vs. Tara Singles match for the TNA Women's Knockout Championship
Gail all day. She is the Austin Aries of the Knockouts division
5 Jesse Sorensen vs. Zema Ion Singles match to determine number one contender for the TNA X Division Championship
I prefer Zema Ion, and hopefully he wins this. The only problem would be heel/heel, but maybe they give Aries a cheap victory over Shelley and it leads to a triple threat between Aries/Shelley/Ion at the next PPV
6 Bobby Roode © vs. Bully Ray vs. James Storm vs. Jeff Hardy Four Way match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Roode by crook. I've really enjoyed the build for this, hopefully the match delivers.

Same. I'm happy for him that he is clean now and I've enjoyed his redemption storyline since returning, but make him earn it. If he is still entertaining the people and is still doing a good job with his rehabilitation towards the end of this year then he will be deserving IMO

It makes a ton more sense to do it this way from a behind the scenes perspective and an on screen perspective. His fans will appreciate his title win 10 X more if he is actually built towards it instead of just being handed another reign for 3 months sober
