Paul, Clemons, and the Ripper...try to watch TNA on a consistent basis to get a feel for the product before you just randomly bash. You guys throw around stuff like disorganized, and clustered, and TNA has had the most consistant storylines of any wrestling product sans ECW, in the past 8 months. When did I say I don't watch TNA on a consistent basis? TNA is disorganized because their are no divisions because their are no division leaders aka individual title holders. Stale feuds are continuing because TNA is dumbfounded as to where the characters should go next. They're signing and looking at guys that don't even fit in with TNA's roster and won't draw a dime like Test and some random football player. Whoever thinks Pacman will draw anything more than a couple extra NFL fans is kidding themselves. Not to mention VKM's lame gimmick and that voodoo skank that looks like a cheesy GLOW leftover from the 80's. Why is VKM feuding with LAX anyway? Well TNA does have a habit of making me forget. How about TNA making the X-division as important as WWE's cruiserweight division? That sad fact makes matches like the triple tag this Sunday bittersweet... where is the consistent storyline behind this match anyway, Deskjet? Sure Roode/Young has a consistent storyline but even consistent storylines can be consistently uneventful and repetetive. Let's try an exciting storyline for a change... we're certainly not getting it with Joe/Angle. I could see Karen being the special guest last Impact coming from a mile away, and L'dMAO after they hyped her up so much... I'm sure the rest of the storyline will be just as predictable. TNA does have a blatant hard-on for former WWE guys, afterall. TNA is a lost cause in my eyes. I'll keep watching... but I'll anticipate the day the former indy talent go back to ROH, Christian and Angle crawl back to WWE, and there TNA will be; left to sink under the weight of all the watered-down midcarders it's acquired over the last couple years. I think that's the main problem you have with TNA. It seems skewed by your perspective. You want indy talent to rise and its not happening so you see no good in the tna product? Is this it? maybe I'm wrong? I've been able to follow every storyline in TNA thus far and they dont have to be the same storyline to be consistent, it just needs to build from previous interactions and that's what it's been doing. You using the disorganized no division arguement is irrelevant at this point as you are well aware of the storyline at this time...revisit this observation in a month or two. And if you see roode/young as uneventful and irrelevant I hate to ask what you think of ECW's storylines the past 4 weeks or WWE's clusterF of a show on RAW this week. Point is, there's much worse wrestling/entertainment going on tv but it seems some people just want to bash away at one product all the time. Ripper, I notice you do that alot...not so much the other two guys, but I have no idea how some people can bash TNA then talk highly of the WWE's offereings at the same time. I guess some people will only see things certain ways and I'm the same...this past RAW I thought sucked ass where others thought it was great...I dont get it but to each his own. I suppose I'm just as guilty as making my share of negative comments form my perspective as I am at making the positive comments. TNA is not perfect but I think they put on a damn good product for the amount of time they are afforded, I just wish more people would take the time to find something positive about it. I've conceded to the notion that arguing with people about whats good and bad on this board is like arguing with someone about which is better Mcdonalds or burger king... everyone has an opinion usually swayed by there preference...or so it seems |

TNA News: Judge rules against Pacman's TNA participation in any way on Sunday
By Wade Keller, Torch editor
Aug 10, 2007, 22:19
A judge in Tennessee ruled tonight that Adam "Pacman" Jones has been prohibited from participating in a TNA Wrestling event. His NFL team, the Tennessee Titans, sought out the court injunction. Both Jones's agent, Jones's attorney, and TNA declined to comment on the decision.
"Mr. Jones is hereby restrained from providing any 'wrestling' or 'performing services' to TNA ... including but not limited to the TNA Hard Justice pay-per-view event ... for as long as this restraining order is in effect," Judge Robert E. Lee Davies ruled.
The TNA website still advertises Jones for Sunday's PPV event.

I think whoever wins the Doomsday Chamber will likely show who wins the main event.
Tomko and Martin have no chance of winning, and Abyss won't win because of Mesias.
So that leaves Sting, Christian, and AJ Styles.
If Christian or AJ win, I'd expect Joe to win the title.
If Sting wins, then Kurt Angle will likely get the victory.
With that said, I don't see Angle being able to defend the X-Division title against Daniels (#1 contender), and defending the tag titles against Team 3D (want another title shot).
However...Joe/Daniels and Joe/Team 3D are completely believable.
So the logical choice is to have Joe win, but with TNA's track record...I don't think they know the meaning of logical.

I seriously think that if Angle wins, he'll brag about having all the belts on Impact!, and then drop the X-Division, and maybe the tag as well.

If Angle wins, Joe should tell TNA to  off. I actually think this PPV card looks REALLY good. Some of the matches don't have much buildup( mainly the tag matches) but will probably be pretty good anyways. I mean..not to drag WWE's name into this, but this looks 5x better than SummerSlam right now..although they have two more weeks to build it. TNA isn't quite what it was during the Weekly PPV era, but I think they're getting better again.. |

The card is a huge improvement from Victory Road.
The pay-per-view has so much potential.
Will this be a "Sacrifice 2005" where everything will just click?
Or will it be another "Final Resolution 2007" where the card is awesome but the show is bad?
I guess we will have to wait and find out.
If any other WFers are going to spend their day in line like I am, let me know.
I'll say whats up if I see you.

I wish I would've held off & went to this instead of Victory Road Victory Road turned out to be a good pay-per-view, #2 of the year for TNA, in my opinion. Here's to hoping Hard Justice turns out to be a hell of a show. I don't want to waste 8 hours of my life waiting in line if it turns out to suck.  |

I'm not hyped up at all for this PPV. It must be the fact that all the titles are in one match. With TNA, most storylines go for a good 3 PPVs. So, without any title matches aside from the main event (which is composed of two guys who aren't quite X-Division or Tag Title material) we are either seeing matches that have happened before or will likely happen again.
Sorry TNA, not this time.

Sorry TNA, not this time. The Titles meaning nothing also spoils the match. The titles at least made the outcome a little harder to predict. I so wanted Jerry Lynn to win the belt from Sabin. And sure, the tag titles have been worthless all this time, but once there is finally 6 or 7 solid teams what happens? We have 1 tag champion. Speaking of tag teams, why no 8-Man Tag with LAX and the Steiners vs VKM and Team 3D? I thought this match was surely going to be signed. It would let Scott heal up a bit and be in the ring less, and it would be like TNA and WCW vs ECW and WWF. Come on TNA, big money match there! And the Doomsday match? Eh. Its another match with stipulation after stipulation added to make it "creative." I do like the Bar Brawl idea though. Rhyno vs James Storm has been a pretty good feud, as long as Rhyno gets the ing win, that is. Are the matches going to be bad? That remains to be seen, but most likely no. I predict they will be pretty good, but the hype still isn't there. Its up to the fans to consider Team 3D and the Steiners and Joe vs Angle for all the belts "dream matches" and that isn't a very good build-up. |
