TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Steel Cage Match
Mr. Anderson vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Sting
Dillon’s Thoughts: I’ve enjoyed the build up here, even if RVD has felt like a 3rd wheel.
Dillon’s Prediction: Sting retains simply because I think it’s too soon for him to lose it, RVD hasn’t had much steam built behind him and Anderson needs to continue his angry streak a bit longer.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: I really want my prediction to be wrong, I really do. I’m going with the most predictable scenario. I would like to however state that Mr. Anderson…Anderson is absolute money in his current “GIVE ME MY REMATCH” gimmick. He is a great tweener and should stay that way. It worked well for Steve Austin, right?
Jarrett’s Prediction: Rob Van Dam
Joe’s Thoughts: I’m never really a fan of putting three guys in a cage for a title match at a pay-per-view, but if I had to choose three guys in TNA Wrestling for this match, these would probably be the guys towards the top of my list. I just don’t think Sting is ready to drop the strap yet.
Joe’s Prediction: Sting
Mark’s Thoughts: The dynamic between these three has been very amazing and very entertaining.
Mark’s Prediction: Anderson… Anderson.
William’s Thoughts:
William’s Prediction: Mr. Anderson
Dillon’s Thoughts: I like both women but I’m tired of seeing them PPV after PPV. And surprised that the feud has gone on as long as it has.
Dillon’s Prediction: Mickie wins via Tara turning on Rayne.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: I hate matches like this because it is way too predictable
Jarrett’s Prediction: Mickie James
Joe’s Thoughts: I think the fans have had enough of the Madison Rayne stuff. Not that Rayne isn’t a great worker and holding up the Knockouts division, but at some point you have to move on and let the entire division progress a little bit. Plus, Mickie James isn’t losing her hair when she has a country music career going on the side.
Joe’s Prediction: Mickie James
Mark’s Thoughts: While I’m sure that Mickie James would still look very pretty without her hair, I don’t think she’s gonna lose it.
Mark’s Prediction: Mickie James
William’s Thoughts:
William’s Prediction: Mickie James
Steel Cage Match
The X-Division “Xscape” Match
Dillon’s Thoughts: Should have been built up a bit more. It’ll be entertaining but who is in it, and where have most of the X-stars been? Jay Lethal? Amazing Red?
Dillon’s Prediction: Kaz retains.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: Ah, the Xcape match. This should have been hyped more. It’s been a year since I’ve seen it, and after everything that has happened to wrestling in between now and then , I don’t remember what this match is. Out of all the people in that match, the person that stands out the most to me is Chris Sabin, so I guess I’m going with him since his tag partner is injured.
Jarrett’s Prediction: Chris Sabin
Joe’s Thoughts: This is one of those matches where I’m torn. I’m an admitted Robbie E. fan (probably a mark at this point), but I don’t think he’s going to win this match. So, regrettably for my fellow Jersey Shore native, I have to put my vote in for my other New Jersey brother in this match.
Joe’s Prediction: Jay Lethal
Mark’s Thoughts: I had to look this match up just to see who was going to be in it. The names look good, but I really want Jay Lethal or Amazing Red to win.
Mark’s Prediction: Amazing Red.
William’s Thoughts:
William’s Prediction: Sabin
Lethal Lockdown
Steel Cage Match
Immortal vs. Fortune
Dillon’s Thoughts: I’m happy to see Daniels back. However part of me thinks Daniels will turn on Fortune, claiming that when he was fired, AJ did nothing to help.
Dillon’s Prediction: Fortune wins simply because Immortal has gotten the better of them too much lately.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: The match we all have been waiting to see. The man we’ve wanted to see return. Great that TNA has given us both, albeit at the expense of AJ Styles. I hope that this is Daniel’s chance to shine and for people unfamiliar with him to see exactly what he’s capable of.
Jarrett’s Prediction: Fortune Four win
Joe’s Thoughts: Not really sure which way this thing is going to go, but I imagine that we’re really close to an AJ Styles return and – because of that return – some friction over whether or not Daniels is a part of Fortune. But I think they will enjoy a victory at the pay-per-view.
Joe’s Prediction: Fortune Four… Sorry, I had to. For some God-awful reason, the opening moments of their entrance music is popping in and out of my head. “Fortune Four!”
Mark’s Thoughts:
Mark’s Prediction: Fortune

Steel Cage Match
Ultra Male Rules – Best 2 out of 3 Falls
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle
Dillon’s Thoughts: They’ve had some good matches but the storyline is atrocious. I’m ready for it to end.
Dillon’s Prediction: Kurt wins for the same reason I think Fortune will win.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: It seems like this match will end this great feud. I’m not too happy about the kids being brought into this, but with some of the despicable things I’ve seen in wrestling in the past ten years, it could be worse.
Jarrett’s Prediction: Angle gets his redemption
Joe’s Thoughts: This one has run its course. There’s no way that Kurt Angle can lose this feud and not get hurt from the loss, so I’m giving him the nod.
Joe’s Prediction: Kurt Angle
Mark’s Thoughts:
Mark’s Prediction: Kurt Angle
William’s Thoughts:
William’s Prediction: Kurt Angle
Dillon’s Thoughts: Hard to think a little over a year ago both men were on the verge of being future TNA World Champions. They still could me. However I’m not digging the new Latino group simply because ethnic anti-American groups have been done to death.
Dillon’s Prediction: Hernandez wins, probably from interference from his group.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: Hernandez has gotten some heat and a henchman, but in a steel cage, we’ll see what Hernandez can do one on one since his return. Sure hope his Mexican stay can help him keep up with Morgan
Jarrett’s Prediction: Morgan
Joe’s Thoughts: Again, I’m a bit of a mark for my fellow Monmouth alumnus Matt Morgan, but I can’t see how Hernandez loses this match with an entire faction behind him.
Joe’s Prediction: Hernandez
Mark’s Thoughts:

Steel Cage Match
D’Angelo Dinero vs. Samoa Joe
Dillon’s Thoughts: Again, two men who were so over & true title contenders now locked in a horrible feud. The matches are good but please let this be the end of it.
Dillon’s Prediction: Pope wins. Don’t know why or how but I think he’ll win.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: I had forgotton this match was even signed. Hopefully this is the end of the feud. I’d love to see Joe be Fortune’s main man because he can be an unstoppable heel. With Bully Ray’s promos and Joe’s wrestling, that would be a team to be reckoned with.
Jarrett’s Prediction: Joe wins
Joe’s Thoughts: Ugh. Enough with this one already, too. Put Samoa Joe back in the main event picture and keep working on D’Angelo Dinero.
Joe’s Prediction: Unless the Japanese guy gets bought off by Dinero, this one is going to Samoa Joe.
Mark’s Thoughts:
Mark’s Prediction: Samoa Joe

Steel Cage Match
Ink, Inc. vs. Crimson & Scott Steiner vs.
Orlando Jordan & Eric Young vs. Brutus Magnus & Doug Williams
Dillon’s Thoughts: Wow, it’s going to be cramped in that cage! I’m glad to see Magnus & Williams back.
Dillon’s Prediction: I don’t know why but I’m picking Jordan & Young to win. Probably because Ink Inc is on the verge of a breakup, Steiner & Crimson are a thrown-together team, and where has Magnus & Williams been? Jordan & Young have been the only consistent team on TV with no turmoil.
Jarrett’s Thoughts: Wow… Please, please don’t bury the Invasion. I’ve heard complaints about MCMG and Beer Money monopolizing the Tag Division. Here comes a great team of two wrestlers with great chemistry. Love to see these two excel in TNA and here’s your chance.
Jarrett’s Prediction: British Invasion
Joe’s Thoughts: I like the quasi-new British Invasion because both Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams are pretty impressive. However, I just have to believe that Scott Steiner and Crimson are going to get the win in this one. Not sure why I feel that way, but I do.
Joe’s Prediction: Scott Steiner & Crimson
Mark’s Thoughts:
Mark’s Prediction: The British Invasion

the rest of my predictions didn’t go through… Fortune, Angle, Hernandez, Joe, and British Invasion winning for the record… if it would even count at this point.
Yeah – I don’t know why the e-mail randomly cut itself off. Anyway, I added your predictions to the list above and yes – they still count. Good luck!
