WINNER ADVANCES TO THE MAIN EVENT TITLE MATCH THAT NIGHT
Kevin Nash vs. The Alpha Male vs. Diamond Dallas Page

Widro: DDP would be the best match, no reason to job out Monty on PPV to Jarrett yet.
Winner – DDP

Eric Szulczewski: Monty Brown deserves the win here. He’s become one of TNA’s top draws. They’re going to tease a Nash victory for a long time in this match, then it’ll be Brown pinning Page so that Nash doesn’t lose any of his precious heat.
Winner – Monty Brown

Joshua Grutman: This will certainly be the night that Kevin Nash returns to relevancy when he stands outside of the ring for most of the match before finally coming in to take a bump or two. We will never forget the blah blah blah BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Umm, DDP?

Matthew Michaels: It’s time for Monty Brown. Which meant DDP will win it…
Winner – DDP

Michaelangelo McCullar: This is the time to pull the trigger on the Alpha Male. Yes, I know he’s green. But he’s by far the most charismatic and over thing TNA has to offer, and if they don’t take advantage of him now, they’re gonna look up and see him on Smackdown.
Winner – Monte Brown

Jed Shaffer: They seem hell bent on sowing the seeds of discontent with the Kings Of Wrestling … of course, this could be a swerve. And they really do need to pull the trigger on Monty Brown’s push, or he’s gonna stagnate (see Edge) … or leave. But this is the TNA main event, what am I thinking? Pull the trigger indeed.
Winner – Ego Dildo

Kurtis Osterlund: Way I see itthis is going one of two ways, 1) Nash wins the match (after DDP is elimnated due to Raven intererence) just scraping by with help from Hall. Or 2) Monty Brown wins convincingly and goes on to face Jarret. No matter who wins though, DDP is going down to Raven somewhere in this match. I’ll go with what I want to see and say the Alpha Male gets the win.
Winner – Monty Brown

Blatt: Monty Brown will not get his title shot at Final Resolution. It just doesn’t make business sense. I’m predicting DDP comes out on top after he capitalizes on a Pooooooounce on Nash and then Cutters Mr. Brown.
Weiner – DDP and an actual build-up to a Brown vs. Jarrett PPV

Kyle David Paul: I hate all three of them as wrestlers, but I like Kevin Nash based solely on Irony. Its sad that Irony is winning here.
Winner – Kevin Nash

Gordi: Oh, man. Seriously? You have got to be kidding me. This is going to be very, very, very bad. Yikes. Wow. Dusty Rhodes is the booker now. Can you hear that? Off in the distance. It’s the death knell sounding.
Winner – Monty Brown

Nate Stein: The Alpha Male. He may be the lamest worker ever, but he has enough heat to fry up a dead horse.
Winner – “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown

Dan Hevia: Holy Christ! WCW has risen from the ashes! Only this time, there might be a possibility that someone won’t f*** up! If that happens, then Monty wins the match. If everything goes according to Gods despicable plan for wrestling, Nash will win. Are the special Olympics soon? If so, then DDP wins. I will pray for the correct line.
Winner – Monty Brown

Shawn M. Smith: I swear to God, I will kill if anyone other than Monty Brown wins. Screw him being green, he’s the best bet they have at a “cross-over” sensation, as whatever they intend to do with the title, it MUST go to Brown, NOW!
Winner – Monty Brown


NWA TITLE MATCH
Winner of above vs. Jeff Jarrett [c]

Widro: Jarrett still is the man.
Winner – JJ

Eric Szulczewski: The question becomes, will Jarrett be willing to drop the strap to Brown? The answer is no, at least not yet. Brown will have to start drawing an audience reaction like Styles (which he hasn’t yet, but he’s close) in order for Jarrett to be comfortable that he can regain the belt from him in a match that would be considered as “legitimate” by the marks. Brown is going to look good, but the guitar comes into play. I’d kill for Brown to no-sell the El Kabong.
Winner – Jeff Jarrett

Joshua Grutman: Blah blah blah BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Ummm, Jeff?

Matthew Michaels: Jarrett’s not losing yet. Not sure what he’s waiting for though…
Winner – JJ

Michaelangelo McCullar: It’s about that time for JJ to give someone else the ball and let them run with it, if he knows what’s good for the company. The indications that he does know what’s good for TNA is suspect, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until Sunday.
Winner – Monte Brown

Jed Shaffer: Duh.
Winner – Triple J

Kurtis Osterlund: If Monty does win the 3-way, he’s going all the way.
Winner – New Champion Monty Brown

Blatt: Jarrett will walk away from this still the champion. A DDP/Jarrett match would be nice, but mainly because they didn’t build to it and it’ll at least have a semi-decent work rate. Don’t expect a clean ending though. This one will be messy, much liek the last title match.
Weiner – Jarrett, and one day being a credible champ

Kyle David Paul: Hey, maybe they’ll do a fingerpoke of doom or something with Nash and reform the NWO with silver colours and Bret Hart.
Winner – Jeff Jarrett

Gordi: Samoa Joe’s long title reign added greatly to the prestige of the ROH World Heavyweight Title. Kenta Kobashi’s long reign has made the GHC one of wrestling’s most respected and important titles. Triple J’s endless domination is killing WCW/TNA.
Winner – Triple J.

Nate Stein: Jarrett’s trying to single handedly BE TNA & it’s impossible to happen. He’s not the person to build TNA around, but he’s also not ready to reliquinsh the title.
Winner – Jeff Jarrett

Dan Hevia: If its Monty, Jarret wins with a guitar. If it’s Nash, Jarrett wins with a blow job. If its DDP, Jarrett wins outright.
Winner – Jarrett either way you shake it.

Shawn M. Smith: Must be Brown or the Jarretts are the NEW Gagne family; i.e. they are content to ruin a fledgling operation to placate a “star” in the family’s ego.
Winner – Monty Brown


RETURN OF THE ULTIMATE X MATCH
For the TNA X Division Championship
Petey Williams [c] vs. AJ Styles vs. Chris Sabin

Widro: should be the best match on the card and an early MOTY candidate
Winner – Styles

Eric Szulczewski: Williams has done quite well with the X Division belt so far, but it’s time to drop it and get Team Canada back into hungry mode. The X Division booking is in a complete state of confusion right now, and it needs to be straightened out immediately. So, therefore, the bookers will go into default mode.
Winner and New Champion – A. J. Styles

Joshua Grutman: If NWA:TNA has any sense at all, they will put the title on Chris Sabin. He is truly the most X guy who I have never heard of and blah blah blah BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Umm, AJ Styles?

Matthew Michaels: I can’t see Petey losing unless they’re going to do a “Team Canada turns on Petey” angle… which IS possible since D’Amore also trained Sabin. Hmm…
Winner – Sabin!

Michaelangelo McCullar: No need for Petey to lose the belt right now. Look for the Canadian Destroyer to claim another victim.
Winner – Petey Williams

Jed Shaffer: Sabin and Styles couldn’t get the job done before. This is to blow the both of them off so they can move Petey onto something else. My hope is a feud with Christopher Daniels, but I doubt it. Either way, match of the night honors right here.
Winner – CANADIAN DESTROYER, BEEYOTCH!!!

Kurtis Osterlund: Should be the match of the night here. I’m thinking Sabin and Styles cancel each other out here and then go on to have their own feud, just because it would rule. Petey Williams sneaks out with the belt.
Winner – still champ, Petey Williams

Blatt: Man I hate too many three way matches on one PPV. Two is too many. This one wil be the highlight of the PPV and should also be the main event as well. I’m thinkin that this might be A.J. or Sabin’s time to shine. This way Petey loses the belt without being pinned. Similar to Jericho/Benoit/Angle from WM 2000 where Angle lost both belts.
Weiner – AJ or Sabin and the X-Division’s claim as the reason I watch TNA at all

Kyle David Paul: AJ Styles is above this. Why in the hell he isn’t in that #1 contenders match is beyond me. And since he’s above this, and since the third challenger isn’t decided, it’ll be the one guarantee, and that’s Canada.
Winner – Petey Williams

Gordi: This wins the coveted “Match Most Likely to be Illegally Downloaded” award.
Winner – Petey Williams

Nate Stein: This is the first match that really stumps me. AJ would thrill everyone, but Petey’s been making waves everywhere. Unfortunately, I don’t see Sabin getting the gold off this one.
Winner…and still champion – Petey Williams

Dan Hevia: This should be the match of the night. I really don’t think the Styles needs the win here, and I like watching Petey Williams. My personal bias triumphs all.
Winner – Petey Williams

Shawn M. Smith: I know everyone thinks it will be AJ, but I think Sabin pulls off the win here. I really like this match, and I think the aura of unpredictability helps make him a believable winner/champion.
Winner – Chris Sabin


NWA TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
Team Canada [c] vs. AMW

Widro: Another top match
Winners – AMW

Eric Szulczewski: As I said above, Team Canada has to get into hungry mode again, because D’Amoron’s interference in defense of a belt just doesn’t carry the same impact (no pun intended) as it does when his team doesn’t have any straps. So just drop everything in one night, I say. Besides, losing to AMW is no sin.
Winners and New Champions – AMW

Joshua Grutman: Please AMW, please come to Stanford and save tag team wrestling. Bring Daniels and Elix with you. Also, bring those guys who dressed up like giant dildos. You know, um, what were their name? Whoever they were, they were the greatest blah blah blah BLEH!
Winners – I don’t care. Umm, AMW?

Matthew Michaels: Let’s go out on a limb and say Team Canada retains, Petey loses.
Winners – Team Canada

Michaelangelo McCullar: AMW doesn’t need the belts. Look for the fellas from the Great White North to retain.
Winner – Team Canada

Jed Shaffer: Too soon for AMW. They need to chase it a little more.
Winner – Scott D’Moron’s crappier clients

Kurtis Osterlund: I don’t like the tag team version of Team Canada. I find them to be lacking in talent and charisma. AMW is on a serious role and they’re not stopping now.
Winner – New tag champs, AMW

Blatt: AMW will take this based on their performance at Turning Point. This also takes all the belts away from Team Canada making them more dangerous than ever. This one will be a barn burner for sure though.
Weiners – AWM

Kyle David Paul: Manifest Destiny after winning the six sided cage, or are they giving the rub to the group that could use a big superstar push? Manifest destiny usually eeks out in these sort of situations.
Winner – AMW

Gordi: Can AMW put on a MOTYC with a team other than XXX? Probably, but not with this team.
Winners – Team Canada, due to D’interference.

Nate Stein: I think TNA will try to stick with their tradition & pass back the title.
Winner – America’s Most Wanted.

Dan Hevia: Canada vs. America. Yea, it’s America’s Most Wanted, so that makes them dangerous and rebels. I’ll take America’s chances against Canada any day.
Winner – AMW

Shawn M. Smith: AMW. I hate Team Canada.
Winner – Mexico, who doesn’t have to show any favorites here!


SPECIAL REFEREE: RODDY PIPER
Jeff Hardy vs. Scott Hall

Widro: It’s like a tour of crackheads through the decades
Winner – Hardy

Eric Szulczewski: The only saving grace of this match coming into it was Hector Garza, and now he’s busted for bringing ‘roids across the border. Now that Jeffykins is in there, I really don’t give a shit, not even if Piper turns (he’d be a good candidate for an expansion of the Kings of Wrestling). This match is one I’ll be ignoring with full force.
Winner – Who gives a shit?

Joshua Grutman: Thank God there’s a special ref for this match. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLEH BLEH BLEH!
Winner – I seriously don’t care. Umm, Roddy Piper?

Matthew Michaels: Will they have Hall AND Nash lose on the same PPV??
Winner – Hall, with Piper turning on Hardy.

Michaelangelo McCullar: Hmmm…druggie in corner A, druggie in corner B. Shoot me now. Look for 3 blown spots, 12 restholds, and a general feeling of depression for all those forced to watch this mess.
Winner – the makers of Wellbutrin

Jed Shaffer: An ad hoc match between two druggies, because a third druggie got arrested. Oh, with a fourth druggie as ref. One of the aforementioned druggies is a train wreck and sloppy as hell … the other is a bloated train wreck and sloppy as hell. People are paying for this?
Winner – Hanky-boy

Kurtis Osterlund: Can you believe these two guys have been called kings of the ladder match? Look at them now. This is going to suck all kinds of balls and then follow it up with a rim job.
Winner – not me, match wise, probably the Hanky Boy

Blatt: Ugh. This has “bad” written all over it. Piper’s a part of it and that’s cool. I saw him at a Knick’s game recently and he got a bigger crowd reaction than Samuel L Jackson who was with LL Cool J to promote Jackson’s movie. With Hector Garza out and Hardy just a fill-in (how did they not have a match for him on the PPV?) I’m going with Hall.
Weiner – Scott Hall and being able to see Piper one more time

Kyle David Paul: The proof that TNA is nothing but WCW-lite is right here. All three competitors have spent more time in the last 3 years getting high, drunk, and fat than wrestling. But because they’re a ‘name’, they get pushed like this. If they all sort of fall over and roll around, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Winner – Jeff Hardy

Gordi: They should make this a Triple Threat “Rock of Crack on a Pole” match, then we’d see some fightin’
Winner – R.D. Reynolds and his Wrestlecrap website.

Nate Stein: I’m thinking Scott Hall after some shinanigans on the part of Roddy Piper. After all, wasn’t Hardy supposed to be gone after just a few months to go back with his band?
Winner – Scott Hall

Dan Hevia: Just how many crack heads does it take to make a match? 3 it seems. Hardy will win this and it will be “emotional”.
Winner – Hardy and MLK Blvd.

Shawn M. Smith: Hardy picks up the win here. It Druggie-Palooza, and no one cares. Kings of Wrestling? My ass.
Winner – Hardy


Raven vs. Erik Watts

Widro: Blah
Winner – Raven

Eric Szulczewski: No matter how hard Raven’s been trying (and he’s been trying very hard), this angle isn’t getting over because of Watts’ apathy and Page’s inability to give a shit about anything other than himself. No one cares, and that’s a real problem for Raven. If he does anything well, it’s to get the audience to care about him. The only way of salvaging any of this is to give Raven the win and transition him to someone else for a feud.
Winner – Raven

Joshua Grutman: To properly analyze this match, one must look at it from all angles and consider a number of factors. 1. Blah. 2. Blah. 3. Blah. 4. BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Umm, Raven?

Matthew Michaels: Watts already beat Suicide 1-2-3, so how can Raven even have a chance? Watts > Suicide > Raven.
Winner – WATTS~!

Michaelangelo McCullar: Seriously, this is what TNA is carting out for their PPV’s? Eric f*cking Watts? Here’s hoping this lasts less than 60 seconds.
Winner – Raven

Jed Shaffer: Boy, has this feud led to nowhere. Raven must be feeling like the world’s biggest bitch: to go from the WWE to dropping main events to Double-J to feuding with ERIK FUCKING WATTS for no discernable reason I can tell. Hopefully, this doesn’t drive Scott back to the drugs.
Winner – DDMe comes in and lays both out

Kurtis Osterlund: For some reason Raven has taken it upon himself to get Eric Watts over. I’m assuming Watts has compromising pictures of Raven somewhere. Anyway, I think in the long run this is really a no brainer.
Winner – Raven

Blatt: Wait, who cares?
Weiner – Erik Watts

Kyle David Paul: Raven should be world champion. So should AJ Styles. Hell, AJ should pin Raven while Raven has AJ in the crossface while Jeff Jarrett is being distracted by Randy Orton, vacate the title, and settle it in the steel cage. Anything but having to see one of the most intruiging characters in wrestling be fighting Eric Watts over the fact that Raven had to lose to DDP last month. Anything, please.
Winner – Raven

Gordi: If the rumours about Watts’ attempted suicide are true, then we’re all going to feel a little bad about the jokes we’ve been making at his expense.
Winner – I think this match will be cancelled.

Nate Stein: WHAT ABOUT RAVEN? I couldn’t put it better.
Winner – Raven

Dan Hevia: This has match of the decade written all over it. Sorry, PK gave me some bad acid and I am trippin’ balls right now. This match will not be too good. My heart is with Raven, but my hallucinating mind tells me Watts picks up the win.
Winner – Erik Watts

Shawn M. Smith: Raven wins, or the Jarretts need to be shot. It’s that simple.
Winner – Raven


Dustin Rhodes vs. Kid Kash

Widro: Nepotism is running wild
Winner – Dustin

Eric Szulczewski: Will Dustin pop a boner during this match? Will Kash consider it a compliment if he does? Is Kash the booker’s son? If not, does he have any chance? Uh, no.
Winner – Boner Boy

Joshua Grutman: HA! Oh my God. They expect me to pay money for this card! Oh man. That’s rich. Oh yeah, analysis. Blah blah blah BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Umm, Kid Kash?

Matthew Michaels: Surrrrre Kash has a chance.
Winner – Goldust

Michaelangelo McCullar: My apathy for this show is growing by leaps and bounds. How many washed-up has-been sons of former legends can we cart out in one 3-hour period?
Winner – Kid Kash

Jed Shaffer: There is a good kind of styles clash (one performed by Styles, AJ), and a bad kind, when styles actually clash. This is the bad kind. Oh, so bad.
Winner – Look who the booker is and think about it.

Kurtis Osterlund: I think Jed summed it up best.
Winner – not Goldust

Blatt: Nice to have Dustin back in action, kinda. Now let me get this straight. They take someone who’s supposed to have some kind of momentum (Kash) and put him up against someone who is new and needs momentum (Rhodes)? This has dumb idea written all over it. At least once he loses this one Dustin can fight all of his daddy’s fights for him.
Weiner – Kid Kash and Dustin’s wallet

Kyle David Paul: I like both these guys, and both for pretty well the same reasons. They fill out a midcard well and can come up with a good match every now and then. It’s sort of like the Jericho/Christian thing on Raw, except that Dustin looks like a blonde tim Mgraw and Kid looks like a younger Kid Rock. Either way, they hate teh gays and love the bomb. Okay, that was a strange tangent. What I meant was this’ll be a solid if unspectacular midcard with maybe a bit of interference from a certain father who just so happens to have a thing against Kid Kash.
Winner – Dustin Rhodes

Gordi: Is it actually possible that New Years Revolution will not be the worst PPV this month? I think so!
Winner – Greg “Rambo” Gagne.

Nate Stein: Unless Dustin goes back in the closet, pun intended, I’m not seeing him walk away with his hand raised.
Winner – Kid Kash

Dan Hevia: Oh for Christ’s sake! WWE should rehire Dustin!
Winner – Dustin Rhodes.

Shawn M. Smith: Yuck. I never thought I would pull for Kid Kash after he dropped the whole Kid Rock look. Dustin is quickly becoming his father in that I can’t STAND to look at him.
Winner – Kid Kash


Primetime vs. Sonjay Dutt

Widro: Primetime is coming off his career match, let’s see how he capitalizes
Winner – Primetime

Eric Szulczewski: Skipper needs to get something going after the forced breakup of XXX in order to restore his legitimacy as a singles competitor. Dutt can bump like a motherf*cker. Good image enhancement match.
Winner – Elix Skipper

Joshua Grutman: Easy one to pick, as I will be watching Fox’s Primetime instead of this crap. Blah blah blah BLEH!
Winner – I don’t care. Umm, Primetime?

Matthew Michaels: Primetime deserves it just because of that cage leg scissors spot. He should win all his matches for the next five years due to that.
Winner – Skipper

Michaelangelo McCullar: Now this should be good. With XXX broken up, look for Primetime to start getting a decent push. With Sonjay leaving, this is a fastball down the pipe.
Winner – Primetime

Jed Shaffer: They broke up XXX for this? Dutt is supposedly leaving, so no need for him to win.
Winner – Flix Pecker

Kurtis Osterlund: Rumor has it that Dutt is leaving for a tour of Zero-One. I think it’s just a short term deal though and he’ll be back in a couple of months. Nevermind that though. I think Primetime is on his way to a feud for the X-Division title after this.
Winner – Primetime, baby

Blatt: With Dutt leaving the company, Primetime has gotta be slated to win this one. Plus it jsut seems like they’re having him fight Dutt just because of his performance in the six sides of steel match. It was stupid to have promos for a match then have Tenay announce that it was just handed to him that Primetime will fight in the PPV. This company needs someone with a level head to filter some of the shit that they put on the air.
Weiner – Primetime and lack of fact checking between tapings and airings

Kyle David Paul: Okay, here’s a good chance to pose the question; where the hell is Christopher Daniels? Shouldn’t he be in the world title picture? You know, because he’s amazing? Watch it, thinking like that would give us AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels world title headliners on pay per views, and we can’t have that. So there’s prime time and Sonjay, Sonjay and prime time. I’m gonna take a wild guess and say there’ll be a flip or two, a little bit of lame showboating, and some solid curtain-jerking stuff. And of course, in that sense, it simply doesn’t matter who wins.
Winner – Elix Skipper

Gordi: I’m jumping on the “They broke up XXX for THIS ?!?!” bandwagon.
Winner – Primetime

Nate Stein: I want to see Sonjay win, absolutely. Sonjay is a much more solid, complete worker who, unlike Primetime, can make wrestling look good. However, I don’t see TNA stepping too far out of the box.
Winner – Primetime

Dan Hevia: Sonjay is leaving. ‘Nuff said.
Winner – Primetime

Shawn M. Smith: Sonjay is leaving. Elix will get the win, but, seriously, who cares. They have just treated anyone other than Jarrett’s buddies like “enhancement talent.” I hate the mid-card booking in TNA. This is another reason why.
Winner – ELIX SKIPPER… I WILL NOT CALL HIM PRIMETIME


3Live Kru vs. Shane, Kazarian, Daniels

Widro: 3LK is way over, but the heels could use some heat. Should be a decent match.
Winners – 3LK

Eric Szulczewski: A match that’s crippled in so many ways. First of all, there’s the heel turn by Daniels, despite the fact that the crowd keeps getting into him like he’s still a face. Then there’s the presence of James and Konnan, which is an instant anchor to Davey Jones’ Locker for any match. This one should have been James/Konnan versus Shane/Kazarian. That way the pain would have been lessened, and we could have had a phenomenal Killings/Daniels match coming out of this mix.
Winners – Three Live Kru, because Christ knows that we can’t get enough of them.

Joshua Grutman: How old are Roaddog and Konan and they spell their name like they’re from the hood? Blah blah blah BLEH!
Winners – I don’t care. Umm, 3Live Kru?

Matthew Michaels: Mix & Match vs. the most over team on the roster? Easy.
Winners – 3LK

Michaelangelo McCullar: 3 Live Kru is always good to pop the crowd. Throw them in with 3 X-Division guys who can run rings around them, and this will be bowling-shoe ugly. But it may be mildly entertaining.
Winner – X-Division

Jed Shaffer: Again, they broke up XXX for this?!? 3LK is TNA’s Rikishi, and the fans like to see their stupid dancing wrestlers win.
Winner – The worst hip-hop collective since Tag Team

Kurtis Osterlund: Normally, I’d go with Jed’s pick on this one since he has made an astute observation. However, I see Daniels is in this and think he’s going to pull out the win for his team.
Winner – Christoper Daniels, Kazarian and Shawn Michaels not so talented cousin

Blatt: Were 8 matches not enough already that they needed to throw this one on there? I don’t see the point. they’re not doing weekly PPV’s anymore and they can’t just throw matches together for something. Instead of wasting $10 a pop, their audience will waste $30 a pop to see matches that weren’t advertised, not publicized and have not too much in terms of reasons that they should be happening. Was Daniels’ involvement in this match announced BEFORE the match to possibly put him in the X Division had aired? Dumb dumb dumb.
Weiner – Me for not buying the PPV after putting up with the past two PPVs that were full of SHIT and contained half of a good PPV between them both. This PPV will be worth $8 in my opinion. Maybe I’ll go see a movie instead on Sunday night. Oh, and 3LK too.

Kyle David Paul: Okay, sorry about the last rant about Daniels; I found him! And he’s in the f*cking comedy match! Isn’t that just peachy? That’s much better than using him in a way that might create a superstar out of him. Same with Kazarian, by the way. Much better to use him here and have 3LK plug their spots in on him than to make him a solid x-division contender. Ditto Shane. Couldn’t they instead just have 3LK come out, do their dance, leave, and spare us? Oh, oh spare us.
Winner – The underused cruiserweights.

KDP’s Final Thoughts: I don’t get it, I really don’t. There are at least four great A-list wrestlers (AJ Styles, Christopher Danielse, Raven, and Monty Brown) who really don’t have any previous tie to WWE or WCW (yes, I know Raven was in both, but he was never more than a midcarder and he’s always been more of an ‘independant’ guy anyway). If they’re trying to do something to promote themselves, I don’t understand how they aren’t using their own talent instead of constantly pandering to the WWE and WCW retirees. Yes, cliched reasoning, but it’s so evident in this particular ppv that I thought I should mention it. If they pull something ‘cute’ with Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett (such as my prediction up there) I give up on this federation. As for the rest of the card, there looks to be a lot of mix-matching and off-tempo bouts that could turn out great but more than likely will not. I would be buying it if I didn’t have a gig tomorrow night, so maybe I’ll get the replay depending on how things turn out.

Gordi: I can’t see why anyone who isn’t directly involved would care about this match.
Winner – Generalissimo Nobuhiko Takada, and his quest to destroy Professional Wrestling.

Nate Stein: I think Shane, Kazarian, & Daniels will easily take down 3 Live Kru, hands down.
Winner – Shane, Kazarian, Daniels

Dan Hevia: It’s a TNA PPV! You knew syllables would come into play! 3 Live Kru = 3 measly syllables. Shane, Kazarian and Daniels = 7 syllables! WINNER!
Winner – Shane, Kazarian and Daniels

Shawn M. Smith: I love Christopher Daniels. I love Frankie Kazarian. They should win over they “has-beens.” I am just tired of 3LK, and the only cool thing they have to offer (Ron Killings) they bury in matches like this.
Winner – Shane, Kazarian, Daniels

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
