TNA Hardcore Justice 2012 PPV Discussion

[The New F'n Show]

This looks like a solid card to me. Have low expectations for the Falls Count Anywhere and KO Title matches but I like the rest. Hope they let someone unexpected shine in one of the matches, Magnus would be a good choice. Also happy Kenny King made the card.

Final thoughts Pre-PPV:

TNA TITLE - The old TNA would book Roode to regain the title just to swerve the fans but lets hope the new TNA are more senisble. Expect another great match between these two and hope that Aries goes over strong, but that they also set the table some how for both to move on to new feuds.

BFGS - The ladder match should steal the show, really hope it gets 25-30 minutes. Joe is my favourite here just because he seems to be in the middle of a renewed push and with Styles/Daniels tied up in their feud and Angle being used more put talent over Joe seems the logical choice. Tables match is a mixed bag but the match should work well to most their styles. My pick is Storm as I think he may end up winning the whole series. Falls count Anywhere least interests me out of the three. Anderson has been over
booked and wasted his chances in TNA, Van Dam is past it and The Pope never had it. Again if they are looking to the future than a Magnus victory would be smart.

KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP - Bit of a nothing match, don't mind Rayne too much but she is another who outside of TBP has not been too sucessful and just feels a ramdon challenger until management can find someone better. Tessmacher seems solid so she will keep the belt for now.

GUNNER/KASH VS. GUERRERO/HERNANDEZ - This match should be taking place on Impact and very much feels like filler here. Also Chavo should get a singles match in his ppv debut. Expect a quick match with the faces going over.

X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP - This match might be alright with King in there, but the fact they met a few weeks ago on Impact makes it even less of a stand out match. Chances of a title change almost zero.

Is it odd that I'm way more pumped for Hardcore Justice than Summerslam?

 

[Keith]

^ Don't think there is much in really, thing is there is still lot of question marks over slam, but yeah agree that at the moment this is looking the better event.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I'm not going to lie I'm going to pretty let down if Joe doesn't win. Daniels and Styles is bound to go to BFG in some kind of street fight stipulation so I rule both them out. It comes down to Joe and Angle, hopefully Kurt puts him over again. I'm in full please push Joe mode.

 

[Keith]

Just one other thing about this is that the title matches are all pretty predictable as all the champions defending are newly (or recently) crowned champions so you can't see them losing their titles plus Hard Justice is normally one of TNA's lesser events so it is hard to see any dramatic title switches. The BFG series bouts and the main event are the big draws.

Is it me or is AJ/Daniels building to a loser leave TNA stipulation?

Is it me or is AJ/Daniels building to a loser leave TNA stipulation?

I can see that, with Old Man Daniels leaving too Oh well, here's my final thoughts on the PPV:

Roode/Aries: Should be a great match, these two have amazing chemistry with each other. I can't see any other match being MOTN but this one really. I'm hoping for an Aries victory, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Roode back the belt here at all, and then having Storm/Roode for the belt at BFG. I wouldn't really mind that, but Aries deserves a longer title reign, so I hope it's not the case.

BFG Ladder Match: This will probably be pretty good as well, it's definitely got the talent to succeed. I expect some Junkie involvement that costs AJ the match possibly which will be hilarious. Joe should win here, and hopefully Angle won't kill himself.

BFG Tables Match: Should be fun, probably not good, but at least fun. I see Hardy winning, but I hope we get Bully a victory. Storm probably won't win just because he already has SO many points, and this is worth 20, why should he win? I'd probably mark if Robbie won also just for the sheer ridiculousness of it.

BFG Falls Count Anywhere Match: If Magnus doesn't win this one, it'll be a complete waste of time. I better see a lot of sick spots because now way this ends up being a quality wrestling match.

KO's Title Match: TITIES AND ASSES! Earl will probably screw Assmacher or something, I couldn't care less.

Mexicans vs Tattooed White Guys: Just a throwaway match to get Chavo a win in his first PPV, could be much better. I seriously can't think of any other reason Gunner and Kash were teamed together other than they have tattoos.

X Division Title: This should be a pretty good match that really only should get about 10 minutes, be fast-paced and let them get their shit in. Great to see Kenny King getting such a nice push, he deserves it, and it ALMOST makes up on the whole no ANX ROH tag title reign.

 

[Andrew]

Chavo's got the opening match here.

Streams not the best. But eh. This is the first TNA PPV I've ever seen.
