Impact Wrestling 15th August 2013 - Hardcore Justice LIVE Discussion

Sabin/Bully should put on a pretty good match before it's cluttered with interference. I hope Bully gets the belt back here because since Sabin won the belt he looks like some little kid who has no idea what he got himself into. I don't mind Sabin being Champion as far as his history goes with the company but no way in hell should he keep the belt for long.

Sabin getting the belt seems more a way of promoting the concept of the DX show. If he keeps it for four or five months and gets some strong clean wins then I will be more convinced. Also his title win was over shadowed by the whole A&8's/MEM thing.

They have added another match to this card, a five on five tag team match MEM vs. Aces & 8's and whoever is pinned is fired from TNA. Like the addition of that last stipulation and I am hoping for a double pin. I am going to assume that the newer team in MEM will pick up the win to continue to gain momentum. There are quite a few on Aces & Eights that I would fire so it is tough to predict who might go. Knowing TNA it will probably be Knux.

Another match has been added to the card, a BFG Series Ladder match between Jeff Hardy, Austin Aries, Kazarian and AJ Styles. They really are going all out with this special, trying to bump another good rating and with this card they should be able to. Not sure what they will do with the 5 on 5 match since Angle is in rehab and MEM only have 4 guys and one of them is Rampage.

Also added the Knockouts Tornado Tag Team match.

Would like to watch this live but not going to be able to so will have to catch it the day after. Shaping up to be a good card.

That Ladder match could be great or could be an utter mess.

 

[Crippler]

I'm not expecting much out of it, maybe 15 minutes and tons of silly death spots. I doubt it's better than the KO's ladder match.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, that KO ladder match was even better than Young Bucks/Bad Influence.

 

[Dale]

Card updated to feature a BFG Series Table Match.

Lineup is looking pretty fucking stacked.

 

[Chris]

This feels like more of a PPV than Slammiversary did.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Where is Christopher Daniels?

For the past several weeks, TNA has been hyping a big 5-on-5 match between Aces & Eights and the Main Event Mafia for Thursday's Hardcore Justice edition of Impact - with the losing wrestler being forced to leave TNA.

After Kurt Angle checked into rehab last week following his latest DWI arrest, fans have been wondering who his replacement would be - and how TNA would handle the situation.

TNA President Dixie Carter tweeted the following on Monday afternoon, announcing that the "5-on-5 Loser Leaves TNA" match has been postponed:

"After meeting with @HulkHogan, due to circumstances beyond our control - @TheAcesAnd8s vs. Mafia 5 on 5 match is delayed until 8/22 Impact."

Well that's a fucking letdown

 

[Deezy]

So let me get this straight, they are going to pull Kurt out of rehab nextweek to work this match? Great plan.

TNA is so jojo, didn't even think of announcing a suitable replacement match for this show. Way to blueball your audience. Shit you could just go back to an old gem like Joe/AJ/Daniels or a gimmick match between some guys in the 5 on 5. What the fuck TNA? Waiting for a Tito turn everyone will see coming, and everyone who watches will hate it and leave MMA fans, wrestling fans not giving a fuck?

This would never happen in New York.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Won't they be taping the August 22nd Impact Thursday? or are they seemingly going to wait another week, get Kurt out of rehab after a weeks and have the tag? unless they somehow come up with a storyline explanation why Kurt can't take part in the match, and replace him.

 

[Troy]

I don't get why they delayed the 5 on 5 match by a week as well since it is all taped the same day. Angle still won't be appearing if it is taped for the 22nd of August so why bother delaying it. Could it be that Angle was going to be pinned and they have had to change their plans and give themselves an extra week to sort it out?

They have added another fatal four way match and it is a tables match, Magnus vs. Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Roode vs. Ken Anderson. The only issue I see with this is the fact that they have stacked two matches with BFG Series guys and all that is left are Hernandez, Jay Bradley, Joseph Park and Daniels which is a pretty terrible fatal four way.
