And Russo strikes again . At this stage presume Angle will win since they have dragged it out long enough since BFG

Doubt it, the visual of Angle walking Karen down the aisle would make good TV.

Wait til they turn it into a teddy-bear-on-a-pole match for the custody of Angle's kids. :pac:

I don't like this angle. Maybe it's because actual kids are involved who lived through a messy divorce and have a new dad, who have to go to school with their parents swearing at each other on TV.

With Rey/Eddie and Dominik, at least it you knew Rey and Eddie were big mates and it was just a storyline. I guess i'm a hypocrite for wanting more realistic angles in wrestling but i find this love triangle tasteless. Lita/Edge/Hardy = fine. Actual family decay being whored out by Russo = not fine.

I know it isn't the most awe inspiring card ever assembled but it's still a pretty good one so I'm surprised TNA is still trying to sell the Fan Xperience on it's website thought they'd sell well for all PPV's.like $99 isn't much

I think those packages are pretty close to selling out, Bob Ryder tweeted about there only being 11 left a few days ago.

seriously is this the match stipulation, i have read an interview where angle said he was not happy with the storyline he was in with jarrett, but as i have not watched TNA in a long time i didnt know what was happening. actually why am i surprised since russo is booking this company, anything is possible and now it really it is, my only surprise is if angle is so annoyed with it, why is he going through with it.

well after reading angles interview, and vince russo is booking it, i get the same feeling

World : Jeff Hardy vs. [Anderson OR Morgan]
This match should be good. Hopefully they tell a story and have a few nice spots. Would be a better match if Jeff was face and his opponent heel.

Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarrett
After being swerved last month with an angle match (i.e. no wrestling at all, just an angle) I feel burnt and expect another non-match. Please prove me wrong TNA.

Rob Van Dam vs Matt Hardy
It wasn't good last month and I doubt anything's changed this month. Why are these two fighting again? You want Hardy? You got Hardy! Sigh!

X-D title match.
Avoiding spoilers again, but I would've wanted other people in this match. Also, why make plans if you're just going to renege on them a week or two later? (looks at "they" ....nevermind!) Still tho this should be match of the night; if they're allowed to go at their usual pace and get 15 minutes.

Last (Wo)man standing : Mickie James vs. (c) Madison Rayne
Go away.

The Pope vs Samoa Joe
I predict a lazy, poor match. Joe couldn't care less. Maybe next month will be a Orphanage in a Kennel match.

Bully Ray vs Brother Devon
I bet this ends up to be one of the best matches on the card. Dudleyz can work a crowd very well and a street fight is what's best for them. Next month a table match so.... sigh.

==========

Overall it's better than last month; but are you sure they couldn't find a spot for AJ? Another "booking for TV, not for PPV" decision

I'd imagine Jarrett and Angle will have a match but with a dodgy finish, I can't see Jarrett losing yet. What do you mean by the reneging on plans bit? And AJ isn't 100% so I doubt he'd have been on the show regardless of what happened on TV.

jaykhunter

Oh right, that's ok then. Just used to having wrestlers on TV that are fit to wrestle! Forgot AJ's out due to his toddler-bump :eek::o

I heard that

the X-D title is now a fourway? Which is not what was originally intended; in that it was supposed to be a #1 contenders at AAO and the winner to face Kaz but they're fast-forwarding it and making it a four-way that includes Kaz.

Feel you are been very harsh on this match. 2 good female workers has a good build, admittedly a finish we can all see coming but given the right amount of time these two could outshine the male counterparts. Also probably 2 of the best entry musics around, actually gotta give it to TNA they do entry music good in general (excluding Jeff Hardy)

jaykhunter

Females having (one of) the best matches on PPV is 2008, not 2011

I'm sick of hearing/knowing how good the KO/Divas division could be, and seeing what it is. A load of fake-titted bleach-blondes calling each other sluts and b!tches... "good for women's matches" isn't good enough for me anymore.

You should probably just ignore my comments. I'm having a real hard time with TNA atm. My two 'anchors' that made me look forward to TNA every week was Jarrett's MMA gimmick and Jeff Hardy's heel run as champion, and both have been taken away from me

Machismo Fan

The Knockouts division is at it's best quality since 2008 - Mickie James has done an awesome job injecting life into it.

They've never mentioned that on TV and I don't think they taped anything in that direction.

I know where you are coming from I go from liking TNA to having it piss me off beyond belief usually within the same segment :-)

jaykhunter

A couple of weeks ago was it the plan to have three qualifying matches for a three-way for the X-D #1 contenders and have the winner of that face Kaz?

jmolloy

TNA can't remember a plan when they tape shows on the same day let alone over a month

Yeah, they announced it like that when they had the first qualifier - some wrestling sites just weren't really paying attention and listed it as a four way X-title match.

ayatollah

steiner & Beer Money V Rob Terry, Gunner & Murphy has also been added apparently.

never has any tag match been so one sided talent wise.

three absolute planks of wood on the one side - steiner, roode and storm have their work cut out for them carrying this disaster.

Should be a great match see Anderson retaining


If Kurt Angle Wins, He Gets Custody Of His Children
If Jeff Jarrett Wins, Kurt Must Walk Karen Down The Isle At Their Wedding
Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett
There's still life in this feud and despite the sick taste the storyline leaves Jarrett to win

TNA Knockouts Championship/Last Knockout Standing Match
Champion Madison Rayne vs. Mickie James
Still predicting this to be up there with the match of the night. Mickie to win though

Street Fight Match
Brother Devon vs. Bully Ray
I forget who won the first one so whoever won that will lose this and rubber match next month. After that Dudleys as singles wrestlers doesn't appeal

Rob Van Dam vs. Matt Hardy
RVD hopefully

Samoa Joe vs. The Pope
Pope has more behind him, whatever happened Joe he used to be the man now he's an afterthough

Beer Money & Scott Steiner vs. Gunner, Murphy, Rob Terry
Fourtune to go strong

#1 Contenders Match For X Division Title
Max Buck vs. Jeremy Buck vs. Robbie E
Why Robbie E? Why not

JP Liz V1

I'm surprised there is only 2 title matches on the card and why no matches for Morgan, Styles, Kaz and MCMG

simple explanation for that. It's TNA

and Shelley's out injured so thats why no mcmg. Sabin would've added to the x division match tho

Charisteas

I'm actually really looking forward to this card, guarantee this will be a much better show than No Way Out. If I could only watch one this month, Against All Odds would get the nod from me. The build up has just been so much better.

I don't have a problem with Kurt Angle's kids being involved in this storyline. It adds a real and personal factor to the story, making it believable in the process. Besides, Kurt's three girls looked really happy in those segments, looked really excited to be on TV, they looked like they were enjoying the moment.

I don't know how one can fault Russo here. We have seen the build up of a decent angle with a lot of realism to it, and at the PPV we are going to get the in-ring pay-off between two of the best wrestlers of the last 10 years, who are capable of putting on the best match of the night.

Where's the problem?!

Oh and why don't we have a TNA PPV prediction game going on?

Furious-Red

Agreed that most of the big matches feel important since they have been brewing for awhile eg Angle/Jarrett , Pope/Joe and Hardy/Anderson and even Madison/Mickie

Yea was thinking we should have a TNA prediction thread

ayatollah

hell yeah i'll join in on the prediction game.

although with the propencity for mad finishes and matches being changed on the fly - russo style - how'll we manage that??

D2D

I can run the TNA prediction game if ya want
