Here's an awesome old Sacrifice match:

This show is in eleven days and TNA announced the first matches today. They've wasted thirty seven days of the build up to this show. Also Storm and Gunner are having their third blow off match. And I'd much prefer a Roode/Bully singles match, nothing is ever a regular match in this company anymore. Plus Tables matches always have a glass ceiling. Show is in Orlando so there's that too. They haven't gotten around to the match graphics yet it would appear.

And here's the 2012 Sacrifice show, which is actually a really good show (with very good Austin Aries/Bully Ray, Bad Influence/Samoa Joe and Magnus, Kurt Angle/AJ Styles and Bobby Roode/RVD matches and a surprisingly decent Brooke Tessmacher/Gail Kim match) - during TNA's brief 2012 creative revival (which Aces and 8s would come along and stomp all over not too long afterwards):

I thought there were three weeks left rather than only two.

The table stipulation actually makes sense for this one. It's how the feud started at Lockdown and they have been used a good bit in recent weeks.

Some form of Young vs Magnus vs Abyss will likely be the main event. Joe was hardly even mentioned last week which makes me think he missed all the tapings and presumably won't be involved.

BroMans vs Wolves and Anderson vs Shaw are really the only other matches I can think of. Willow vs Carter maybe? Probably Sanada vs Tigre too unless they blew the third match on Impact. Struggling to think of what else they could have.

I genuinely think they forgot they had this PPV. The build in recent weeks has been similar to the build when they don't have any PPV that month.

No idea what a Committed match consists of. BroMans vs. Wolves will likely be added to round out the show.

Committed Match is an Ambulance Match. Russo loves Ambulance matches.

And he loves giving established gimmick matches silly different names. You know this wouldn't be that bad a card were it actually well promoted.

Russo also loves the all women can't be trusted narrative. I expect Hemme turning heel and helping Shaw.

That makes sense. It's the only way you can continue Shaw's gimmick. He has to get the girl.

The man stalked her, abused her, stole her hair and threatened her physically - it really wouldn't.

PWInsider says Eric Bischoff is a consultant too.

IT WAS A PLAN ALL ALONG narrative.

When did he abuse her? He was obsessed with her. Hemme turns heel knowing he will do anything for her. It makes sense unless you are actively trying to fight it.

I was expecting the turn at Lockdown when Hemme got into the cage.

You even mentioned Lockdown, when he physically dragged her through the hole in the cage. He knocked Anderson into her which knocked her out (and he then proceeded to kidnap her). He cornered her backstage, harassed her and stole some of her hair. Her turning heel would be so groan worthy - not to mention the volumes it would speak about how TNA creative see women.

Forgot the Anderson bit but that was accidental.

None of the rest I would consider abuse seeing as it's pro wrestling, a sport that involves beating up people.

I'm more convinced than ever that they forgot they had this PPV. Hardly anything has been built enough to be on PPV. This week's show was almost the exact opposite of what a go home show should be like. It felt like a mid range show.

My predictions:

Magnus def Young - Young has done nothing since winning the title, much like Sabin last year. It's a nothing reign that will end as soon as it began.

Rayne def Love - Love has only just come back and has been getting the better of Rayne on Impact. That usually means a PPV loss. Would be surprised if the title changed hands already.

Roode def Bully - I'm torn on this, but think their is more mileage in it, hence why I'd say Roode is going over. Bully wins next time out.

Gunner def Storm - Unlike the previous, this should be the feud ender. Gunner needs the win.

Angle & Willow def Carter & Spud - Again, I'm torn on this. If it was just Angle vs Carter, I'd say Carter easily, but the addition of Spud, who pretty much only exists to lose, makes me think otherwise.

Sanada def Uno - Uno got hardly a mention on Impact while Sanada has been getting video packages almost every week. Pretty obvious who they want to push more.

Shaw def Anderson - Unlike Anderson, Shaw actually has a character and a storyline. I think this could be the end for Anderson. Not like he will be missed. Bar the Lockdown match with Angle he has been a waste of money.

Wolves def BroMans - Probably the easiest to call. BroMans have been sneaking victories left and right and screwing the Wolves at every opportunity. Anything other than new champions would be retarded.

Anderson renewed his contract last October so he'll still be around. Plus he's fresh off one of the best feuds of his career against Bully (though then naturally follows it up with one of the worst of his career but this one isn't really his fault).

Have the Sanada/Uno matches been any use?

4-6 minutes matches used as backdrop to talk about storylines. Not really.

Pity. Two fresh faces with different looks fighting over a once prestigious belt, was the only match that grabbed my attention on that card!
