Evan O. – ROB VAN DAM.
David S. – ROB VAN DAM.
Anthony V. – VAN DAM. So Kenny King makes a return after months of inactivity and is thrown into a title match? When can Zema Ion win the title again?
Josh B. – RVD.
Greg M. – ROB VAN DAM.
Darragh O. – RVD.
Jason N. – RVD (never loses on PPV).
Matt O. – RVD.
Jeremy S. – ROB VAN DAM. Kenny King should get the win here. Would love to see it. But, TNA has not shown me anything to the fact that they are confident in him. RVD gets the win, and unfortunately, Kenny King will probably disappear again for awhile til they need a quick shot of a great wrestler.
Jordan B. – RVD.
CONSENSUS: ROB VAN DAM 10-0.
Evan O. – TARA.
David S. – TARA
Anthony V. – TARA. Again, this division is stagnant. And until Velvet Sky is built back as the next champion I say keep it on Tara.
Josh B. – THICKIE.
Greg M. – TARA.
Darragh O. – MICKIE JAMES.
Jason N. – MICKIE JAMES.
Matt O. – TARA.
Jeremy S. – MICKIE JAMES. With all the inspiration talk of Mickie overcoming what she overcome during her time off, they’re putting the title on her. Tara is really stale whether she has Jesse Godderz or not, but even more stale with him. With Velvet Sky’s return, they are going to try to put more of a spotlight back on the Knockout’s title.
Jordan B. – TARA.
CONSENSUS: TARA 6-4.
Evan O. – CHAVO GUERRERO JR. AND HERNANDEZ.
David S. – CHAVO GUERRERO AND HERNANDEZ.
Anthony V. – CHAVO AND HERNANDEZ. Ok, Morgan and Ryan are now in TNA. Old booking would make the titles change hands on that principle. But I am hoping the champs retain.
Josh B. – CHAVITO & MEX.
Greg M. – CHAVO & HERNANDEZ.
Darragh O. – CHAVO GUERRERO JR. AND HERNANDEZ.
Jason N. – MORGAN & RYAN.
Matt O. – CHAVO AND HERNANDEZ.
Jeremy S. – MATT MORGAN AND JOEY RYAN. New tag team. They need the win here to be able to continue anything with them in the future. Will be interesting to see what type of chemistry they have in the ring, since Morgan and Ryan seems like a very random pairing. Look to Chavo’s team be in a feud for awhile, with probably a quick change back next month.
Jordan B. – RYAN AND MORGAN (MOUSTACHE BLUEPRINT)
CONSENSUS: CHAVO GUERERRO AND HERNANDEZ 7-3.
Evan O. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
David S. – TEAM ANGLE.
Anthony V. – ACES AND EIGHTS. THIS will be the moment that Garret and Wes show their alliance (and it is a no-brainer).
Josh B. – ACES & EIGHTS.
Greg M. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Darragh O. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Jason N. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Matt O. – TEAM GARRET.
Jeremy S. – ACES AND EIGHTS. I think they’ll do a reveal of either Garrett, Wes, or both here, for Aces and Eights. They’ll turn and that will give Aces and Eights the advantage. This angle will most likely end up writing Kurt Angle off of TV, or a brutal beatdown sometime in the immediate future. I wouldn’t put them past turning all three, adding Joe into the mix.
Jordan B. – A’S AND 8’S.
CONSENSUS: ACES AND EIGHTS 8-2.
Evan O. – AJ STYLES.
David S. – AJ STYLES
Anthony V. – DANIELS. In this story, Styles is disgruntled and baffled. He is arguing with those around him. I see Daniels adding to Styles’ frustration. Either Daniels wins clean or DQ.
Josh B. – AJ.
Greg M. – DANIELS.
Darragh O. – DANIELS.
Jason N. – DANIELS.
Matt O. – AJ STYLES.
Jeremy S. – CHRISTOPHER DANIELS. This will continue the downfall of AJ Styles, which is even being evident in his physical appearance these days. Daniels is on a high with Bad Influence. This won’t be their final match, so Daniels needs the win for someday of AJ’s comeback.
Jordan B. – AJ STYLES.
CONSENSUS: TIE 5-5.
Evan O. – AUSTIN ARIES.
David S. – BULLY RAY.
Anthony V. – RAY. It is a shame if it truly happens, but Ray is involved in a storyline with the Hogans.
Josh B. – ARIES.
Greg M. – AUSTIN ARIES.
Darragh O. – BULLY RAY.
Jason N. – BULLY RAY.
Matt O. – AUSTIN ARIES.
Jeremy S. – AUSTIN ARIES. Somehow, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Hulk may end up costing Bully Ray this match. Even with this being Final Resolution, as TNA booking has evidenced in the past, they never have any Final Resolution. So, they need this to continue the angle between Brooke-Bully-Aries-Hulk.
Jordan B. – A DOUBLE.
CONSENSUS: ARIES 6-4
Evan O. – JEFF HARDY.
David S. – JEFF HARDY.
Anthony V. – HARDY. With TNA’s contract with Hardy ending soon this is more of a way to keep Hardy on their roster after the deal expires rather than storyline.
Josh B. – HARDY.
Greg M. – JEFF HARDY.
Darragh O. – JEFF HARDY.
Jason N. – HARDY.
Matt O. – JEFF HARDY.
Jeremy S. – BOBBY ROODE. When they put the title on Jeff Hardy, they thought it would give them a bigger promotional push than it has. He is their biggest name, but there has been no results. Bobby Roode gets the title her, and hopefully we will not be hearing any voices in Jeff Hardy’s head any time soon.
Jordan B. – JEFF HARVEY.
CONSENSUS: JEFF HARDY 9-1.
