TNA Hardcore Justice - Good or bad idea?

Could Hardcore Justice be a success or is everyone tired of seeing another ECW reunion?

I just don't see the point. Fair enough, they could get a great buyrate for the PPV, but what then? Half the wrestlers leave again, one or two might stick around, but no real storylines like the ones they have been building for months get advanced. After one month, things will be back the way they were and I don't think enough of the viewers who watches it but wouldn't normally watch TNA will stick around.

It would be good to see a real ECW type PPV, but that's not TNAs responsibility, especially when they can't even call it ECW. TNA should be advancing their own programme. It just feels like when you watch Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares, but really it's a previous episode with Gordon just revisiting the place at the end

I'm looking forward to it, I reckon the crowd are going to be really hot on the night

Its a awful idea.No one wants to see Balls Mahoney,Tommy Dreamer,Sandman & any other incredibly past it ex ecw talent.
I'm looking forward to Lynn vs Rvd but if that flops the ppv will bomb in the eyes of all 83 people that bother paying for it.
Most fans couldn't watch ecw at the time but claim to be experts now after watching the 1st One Night Stand & the ECW dvd.TNA should try push fresh NEW talent instead of Old Mid 90's talent & ECW's mainly Phisically spent or dead Roster.

In fairness, I can see why they're trying to shake up their current PPV format, because it's bleeding money atm. But, like other people have said, the thought of watching past-their-best ECW guys (many of whom weren't stellar workers to begin with) isn't particularly enticing - Lynn-Van Damn excepted. And I don't know why they can't use whatever residual star power these guys have to genuinely elevate younger TNA talent.

Because the likes of Lethal beating the likes of Dreamer, Rhino and Raven will do nothing for them. Whereas the ECW guys have potential to do well as a once off deal. I have no problem with this, they haven't thrown everything out the window for it and it's only for one night.

Pointless attempt to get a spike in PPV buyrates. Which won't happen , considering Hogan couldn't, nevermind expecting Balls Mahoney and Raven to do so.

The word coming out of TNA is that no one in the back wants to have anything to do with this ppv.
