All of you guys hating on this because "these guys are too old" and "they can't go anymore" and talking like you are disappointed that this is not going to be a show full of 5 star technical masterpieces need to pull your heads out of your asses and realize what tonight is supposed to be about.
Fun.
Tonight is supposed to be a night about sitting back and enjoying a little nostalgia. Tonight it about these guys getting another chance to do what they love in front of a worldwide audience, and for a lot of these guys it will be their last chance to do so. You will probably look at the faces of the talent themselves tonight and you will see a smile. Why? Because they will be out there having an absolute ball doing what they love with their friends.
You guys need to stop being so damn critical, sit back, relax, and just try and enjoy the damn show for once without trying to out-critique each other.

Thanks to Kevin Tomich and prowrestling.net for the following:
They sold about 200 of the VIP packages (compared to 12 for the last PPV). There is a Q&A tonight (after the PPV) with Mick Foley and *perhaps* some of the EV2.0 guys. It depends on who you ask. It will be taped for the DVD.
I forgot to mention that Jeremy "Furley Eyes" Borash was also at the reception.
I met Dixie Carter, who was super nice. When I told her to hire Paul Heyman, she quickly thanked me for coming and ushered me to the side. LOL
None of the guys seemed to know who they were working tonight. 2 Cold Scorpio said he was told Brother Runt, but when told he'd be a part of "the three-way." He said, "what three-way?" He was in good spirits.
Foley and Sandman left early. Sandman seemed miserable.
Joel Gertner was told to find an old school neckbrace by Tommy Dreamer. I hope he puts the necktie over it. He hasn't aged a bit.
A lot of the guys seemed surprised that Balls Mahoney and Blue Meanie weren't there.

According to Pro Wrestling Torch (pwtorch.com), there's been an air of discontent and frustration within the TNA locker room, due to the attention given to the former ECW stars leading up to the "Hardcore Justice" pay-per view event this Sunday.
Sources close to the situation are reporting that most of the TNA roster aren't planning to attend the PPV, and some have gone as far as stating that they want nothing to do with the event or the ECW-based storylines.
TNA officials have been attempting to encourage the wrestlers to attend the PPV, but since they're not booked to perform at the event, they're not required to be present.
The wrestlers feel that the attention given to the former ECW stars has taken the focus off current TNA feuds and storylines. There's a feeling within the locker room that TNA needs to look forward to the future instead of back to the past, whether it's WWE, WCW, or ECW storylines.
TNA stars such as AJ Styles and Samoa Joe have voiced their displeasure over decisions made by the company. Styles questioned the decision of making Rob Van Dam the TNA World Heavyweight Champion shortly after his arrival from WWE. Styles stated the decision just made him appear to be "just another guy."
Samoa Joe had a blow-up with TNA officials over an ending of a match between him and Jeff Hardy at an Impact taping last month, which subsequently led to Joe being suspended.
Giving the former ECW stars a pay-per view payday, and pushing the TNA stars to do a PPV-quality show on Thursday night, where they're not getting PPV money isn't going to help matters.
It has also been reported that 10 or 15 wrestlers are exploring their options between the proposed Wilpon wrestling organization, and pursuing potential opportunities in WWE.
The mid-card and upper tier wrestlers are exploring WWE, while the others are feeling out the Wilpon organization.
TNA wrestlers under 35 years of age are also considering their options, as they believe they're being passed over by former stars after being loyal to the company during its growth phase.
These are trying times for Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan, and Eric Bischoff. It will be interesting to see what happens after Hardcore Justice and the upcoming Impact episode next Thursday.

Credit: James Caldwell, PWTorch Assistant Editor This entire "report" screams "we have nothing to actually report today, so we're going to try to stir some crapup". Most of the regular TNA workers aren't going to be there? Umm, that would only make sense seeing as though, you know, they aren't on the show. 10 or 15 guys looking at going to WWE? k, give me the names, please. These reports are so idiotic now. I bet I could write one, say it's from a big "dirtsheet" website, fill it with a bunch of "sources close to the company" and "what ifs", and everyone would believe it's legit. |

I'm actually going to watch this later. There's nothing on TV on Sunday when you don't have cable, so I'll be watching this.

You know what, this PPV to me is gunna be  ing insane. I've purchased every ECW video that has ever been made (except for some hard to find's) and have watched, and this will guarantee a large amount of nostalgia, so the haters, this night belong's to US. |
