Joe’s Thoughts: It’s not Bobby Roode’s time right now. It could be his time at any given moment, but not tonight. I think that TNA is making too much money off of having “The Charismatic Enigma” as their World Champion right now and there’s no real logical reason to stop that income stream.
Joe’s Prediction: Jeff Hardy
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Jeff Hardy
Joe’s Thoughts: Matt Morgan is going to be a dominating presence in TNA for several months to come. He’s above scrapping for the Television Championship and much too big for the X-Division Championship, so I think that we’ll see him get his first title during his big return run tonight. And Joey Ryan provides enough comedic entertainment to make the whole thing watchable.
Joe’s Prediction: Matt Morgan & Joey Ryan
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Chavo, Hernandez.
Joe’s Thoughts: I think that “Mr. PEC-Tacular” is going to play a role in this match, but he might wind up causing Tara to lose the championship. With Mickie James coming off of a big scare in her personal life, I think that TNA is going to reward her personal endurance with the Knockouts Championship.
Joe’s Prediction: Mickie James
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Mickie James.
Joe’s Thoughts: I’m a fan of Kenny King, but I don’t understand how him winning the championship tonight would make any sense given any of the current storylines in the company. For that reason, I’m going with “Mr. Thursday Night.”
Joe’s Prediction: Rob Van Dam
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Kenny King.
Bully Ray vs. Austin Aries
Joe’s Thoughts: This has been an entertaining and unexpected storyline over the last few weeks of iMPACT Wrestling. However, this is one of those matches where it doesn’t necessarily matter who wins or loses. This storyline is too entertaining for it to randomly stop after this match is over. There are a few things that could happen tonight: first, Brooke Hogan could exact a measure of revenge on Austin Aries by getting involved; second, these two guys could beat the hell out of each other and the match could end in a no contest; or three, Aries can win so he can continue to needle Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan on iMPACT Wrestling. I’m going with option three.
Joe’s Prediction: Austin Aries
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Bully Ray.
Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles
Joe’s Thoughts: Let me be clear – I’m not tired of watching this match over and over again. Not at all. What I’m tired of, though, is there not being any substantive advancement of this storyline for several months now. This is another one of those matches where it doesn’t really matter who wins or who loses because the storyline will persist. I’m giving “The Fallen Angel” the nod on this one only because he’s got Kazarian lurking around in his corner.
Joe’s Prediction: Christopher Daniels
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: AJ.
Aces & Eights vs. Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Garett Bischoff, & Wes Brisco
Joe’s Thoughts: This should be a fun match to watch, but I don’t think that any major storylines could possibly be advanced here. Devon has the Television Championship back, Kurt Angle continues to be the mentor to the future by guiding Bischoff and Brisco, Aces & 8s will continue to try to use the ball peen hammer whenever and however they can, etc, etc. Just because there is the element of potentially using that hammer, I’m going with the bad guys in this one.
Joe’s Prediction: Aces & Eights
Mark A.’s Thoughts:
Mark A.’s Prediction: Aces and Eights.
