Am I right in saying their is no gimmick match on this card. Delighted with that.

It's such a shame they didn't do this respect angle with Angle and Sting over the last few weeks; they had to squeeze the seriousness (which, in isolation, was well done imo) of the bout all in one night, 3 days before the PPV. As fun as the Guard bird was (it was SO funny!), it won't help out TNA at all. So jarring that Sting returned to normal when talking to Angle.

Man, joining Immortal was Anderson's worst decision of his career. Immediately lost his belt, plays the underdog & 2nd fiddle to Brother Ray and is skewed half-heel-face.

I do hope that TNA focus more on the X-Division. Enjoyed Shelly's and Aries' match this week. Also that the B4G series continues to heat up. It'd be awesome if they had the forethought to actually release the match-listings for the next few weeks that leads to the tournament finish. Because it seems a bit dodgy with people having more matches than others etc.

Where is this Crimson winning streak going to end? The title :eek:

The build for Angle/Sting (particularly the go home show) was extremely reserved by TNA standards, they chose to strip it back and play off their past history and it was infinitely more effective. At least it made for a much better final sell. And it's interesting that they chose now as the second time to drop the hint that's Sting's Joker act is just that, an act.

Man Sting only started this crazy joker gimmick a bit over a month ago and it's already starting to conclude. I wish TNA had more patience. Like Sting does a good demented guy but if they did the crazy descent over 6m-1year he could've made it his own and been much more effective. It's like TNA aren't behind their own booking, constantly changing direction.

Can't get over Anderson's last month or so! 2nd title reign, turn heel, lose belt, lackey, tease and deliver internal feud...lightning madness!

Do u think Joe will get a winning streak after this losing streak is done? I hope it's not too late for joe but i think it'd get over. He's had more failed runs than Kane

More than Kane is that even possible. I agree with you with Sting it seems that he turned into Joker over the course of a fortnite it should of been done slowly over a few months slowly changing his personality & his facepaint every month or so but it went from crow sting to sue their ass Christopher Nolan very quicky.

The problem is the Immortal storyline is more than likely coming to it's (already overdue) conclusion in October so that's rushing things along (and it only makes sense for Sting to be Joker Sting while Immortal still exists (and he did spend months and months trying to take Immortal down as normal Sting)). There's not enough time left to draw things out (though from a character standpoint it does make perfect sense that Bully Ray and Anderson wouldn't get along). They spent a year on building up Immortal and a year until it's demise and they need to move on.

A bit of a preview of tonight, awesome match aside from the finish:

Tonight's Hardcore Justice is scheduled to start with the X Championship match with Brian Kendrick vs. Alex Shelley vs. Austin Aries

gnfnrhead

Thats the only match that I actually care about so hopefully they give it a decent amount of time. Unfortunatly, they have nine matches on the card so three or four of them are going to be a bit short. Probably the two Knockout matches as well as Devon vs Pope. X title match would likely be next in line to be cut short but hopefully that doesnt happen.

So is Daniels turning in a IT WAS A PLAN ALONG swervy, swervy, turny turn?

The turn is inevitable but I don't see it happening tonight, I think they'll just tease and plant more seeds it tonight with some miscommunication as opposed to a swerve.

I can see Hogan costing Sting the title tonight, then building towards a match between Hogan and Sting at Bound for Glory.

I wouldn't go near a Hogan/Sting singles match at BFG, them each leading a team would be much more prudent.

Hogan has said he isnt able to wrestle anymore. HOPEFULLY he sticks to it.

I'd be shocked if he didn't wrestle at Bound For Glory.

I skipped chunks of it, but what I seen wasent bad at all. Devon vs Pope was surprisingly good while the six man tag, the X-Division three way and Crimson vs RVD were all pretty good.

Much like Destination X, nothing spectacular, but nothing awful either.
