"If Sting loses, he never receives another title shot." :austin:

James Storm mystery partner? Please god, let it be Chris Harris.

Poor lineup for me.

Sting is not the draw he once was if that main event was four years ago then it would be of more interest.

AJ/Angle should deliver but has happened so many times it hardly feels special.

The tag four-way sounds a random mess.

I'm assuming Team Mexico is going to drop the belts to James Storm and his mystery partner.

I shouldn't be surprised that Sting is getting another title shot but I am. Surely they see that it isn't the right way to use him, use him as a special attraction wrestler like how WWE use Undertaker. If they have Sting win the title and be TNA's saviour then they have lost the plot completely.

AJ vs. Angle is going to be good as always. Hopefully there is a title change with the tag team title match, very happy that it is an elimination match they aren't used enough in the tag team scene. I can see Park winning the TV title here although I have no idea where they can go with the title. Suicide will probably win the X title on his return or at the very least won't be the guy that is pinned. Hoping for Jay Bradley to win the Gut Check final.

Awful lineup overall.

It doesn't really scream out that this is one of only four live PPVs that they have each year. Each card should be a huge occasion but it seems like just another PPV from TNA.

It's not all bad, but no match jumps out as able to be great at all.

Sting/Bully: This is going to be pretty terrible, and I'm 65% sure that Sting will end up with the belt, which will probably make me cry a little. If Sting doesn't win, he's going to finally retire after losing, or it'll be a no contest or Bully will be DQ'd.

Styles/Angle: This will probably be the best match, but the over/under on how many finishers get kicked out of is 23 and it'd be smart to take the over.

Tag Title match: Just screams clusterfuck, and at Gunner being Storm's partner. I'll be satisfied if Bad Influence or Aries/Roode win, but I don't see that happening.

X-Division Championship: This could actually be pretty good. King, and Sabin can work, and so can TJ Perkins as Suicide. At worst this one will just be alright, at best it could be pretty good.

Park/Devon: If Park wins, then I'll mark slightly and overlook how bad this match will be.

Gail/Taryn: Taryn's ass is gonna' look so good This match is going to be terrible though.

Gut Check final: What is this nonsense?

So are they only giving Suicide a title shot because they think he'll bring in some ratings or something? I always enjoyed the character mind you, but he's never been THAT huge has he?

Don't think ratings are in mind at all, think they just wanted to bring the character back for whatever reason, they do this at least once a year.

They bring back Suicide once a year? But why though, I don't think half the crowd really cares about him.

It seems like it's once a year, he's had more returns than Sting. And why must you ask people on this site questions they don't know the answer to?

Gut Check final: What is this nonsense?

Don't forget it's also a LAST KNOCKOUT STANDING match :

And the Gut Check Final I actually quite like, not in terms of the matchup but the fact the winner gets put into the BFG Series.

Not that big on the winner being in the BFG series, but at this point, I really hope TNA just swerves the fuck and has the guy (it'll probably be Bradley) either win the damn thing or at least get close. Don't make it a waste that he was put in and ends up getting little points when it could have been a guy that had no chance of winning but would have put on better matches.
