Surely Roode will keep the title until his feud with Storm or has than been forgotten about :rolleyes:

GTR63

I hope that Hardy doesn't win the title i'm really enjoying Rhoode as champ and want to see a run with him vs Storm. It'll kill me if tna reward Jeff for staying Clean for what 3 months or there abouts.

I wouldnt be surprised if they put the title on Hardy here. Hope they dont, but this is TNA we're talking about. I really dont get the logic of "rewarding" him with the title either. Surely his reward was not being fired for showing up for a PPV in such a bad state? But, given his history, TNA probably consider it a bonus if he shows up at all.

Machismo Fan

I shall remain adamant that Hardy won't win the World title here. James Storm will be the next TNA champion.

think they'll stick the belt on him to maximise merchandise sales on their European tour.
I think you could have someone else completely out of left field take it off him then, possibly Bully Ray.

He's not even being advertised for the UK tour.

I didn't notice that, any reason for this? Or is he legally not allowed to leave the country due to his recent legal problems?

He wasn't on TV when they announced the tour and he hasn't been added since. I have no idea what effect his legal problems have.

So much for Kurt and the Olympics. :rolleyes: I hope they're not going to put the belt on Hardy. They should have made him earn his spot again instead of just handing it to him again.

He still plans to try and make the US team.

When are the trials? It's getting a bit late now. It's only a few months away and surely the guys need to know if they are going or not. If they are, they'll need to up their training more so I can't see an advantage in leaving it until the last minute.

If he was genuine about it he would be gone from TNA a long time ago. He would need time to first heal his body [atleast the ones he can heal. I think Vince was right when he said a number of his injuries are now permanent] and then start serious training. Training with his cousin or nephew or whoever isn't enough. This has gone the way of "I'm going to fight MMA this year. I'm serious this time."

Trials are in April.

Well at the very least he's going to try and make the team.

If he shows up. I can't see him beating anyone after being out of it for over a decade and all the injuries he's accumulated. I'm not even sure if he can pass the physicals.

From 21:38-23:30 of Before the Bell is particularly great, mostly due to how amazing that promo was in the first place.

Why exactly are Magnus and Joe now a tag team?

They won the Wild Card tag team tournament. They have tremendous chemistry actually.

Machismo Fan

Aries/Kash/Ion/Sorensen will kick off the show.

think they might be putting a title on Joe to try to motivate him, something of a last roll of the dice before they let him go.
no company needs a paychecker, which is basically what he's become.

Kurt Angle is really sounding like a mental person :pac:
He was going to be a MMA fighter. Now the Olympics.

JP Liz V1

Angle V Storm is the only match I have interest in tbh

the flananator

Main event looks interesting...Roode comes across like a star.

Wheres Anderson?

Injured?

He would have debuted around February IIRC, if he isnt injured, maybe his contract is almost up and they are keeping him off until its sorted?

I'll be expecting to see someone upload a gif with edited in lightsabers instead of chairs from the start of the match. :pac:

This PPV fell off a fairly low cliff. Like it started alright; and then between either bad matches or BS finishes, it was just awful. TNA need to stop putting on PPVs or I need to stop watching them!

Actually booking them correctly might help them. Robert Rhoode's title reign has had as many cheap finishes as Sheamus or Miz forgetable title reigns.
