Currently, I still need predictions from Dave Stephens, Clinton Bowman & Mike Tedesco———–
NON-TITLE MATCHES (each valued at one point)
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Magnus, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy vs. Aces & Eights (Wes Brisco, Garrett Bischoff, and D.O.C.)
Coire M. – MAGNUS, SAMOA JOE, AND JEFF HARDY.
Nick G. – JOEJEFFJANGUS.
Josh B. – JOE, MAGNUS, AND HARDY.
Jason N. – TEAM TNA.
Greg M. – MAGNUS, SAMOA JOE, AND JEFF HARDY.
Anthony V. – MAGNUS, JOE, AND JEFF HARDY.
Matt O. – MAGNUS, JOE, AND HARDY.
Darragh O. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Gary H. – MAGNUS, SAMOA JOE, AND JEFF HARDY.
Goose O. – MAGNUS, JOE, HARDY.
Derek J. – MAGNUS/SAMOA JOE/JEFF HARDY.
Jamie S. – MAGNUS, JOE, AND HARDY.
Wade B. – This match is all about Hardy, and it doesn’t actually count for anything so it’s okay for TNA to win. JOE, MAGNUS, AND HARDY win. Hardy gets the pin over one of the kids.
CONSENSUS: MAGNUS, SAMOA JOE, AND JEFF HARDY 12-1.
Singles Match
Stipulation: The Winner of this match is the Gutcheck tournament winner and will earn an entry into the Bound for Glory Series
Jay Bradley vs. Sam Shaw
Coire M. – JAY BRADLEY.
Nick G. – SHAW…I guess.
Josh B. – BRADLEY.
Jason N. – BRADLEY.
Greg M. – JAY BRADLEY.
Anthony V. – SAM SHAW.
Matt O. – JAY BRADLEY.
Darragh O. – SAM SHAW.
Gary H. – SAM SHAW.
Goose O. – SAM SHAW.
Derek J. – JAY BRADLEY.
Jamie S. – BRADLEY.
Wade B. – This match is on TNA’s Slammiversary PPV. Just let that sink in for a second. Bradley’s got the better developed character by far, while Shaw looks like somebody they just got off the street and put in tights. But I’m picking SHAW to win and go to the BFG Series, with Bradley interfering in all his matches.
CONSENSUS: BRADLEY 7-6.
Last Knockout Standing Match
Stipulation: The winner will receive a TNA Women’s Knockout Championship
Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell
Coire M. – TARYN TARRELL.
Nick G. – TIFFANY.
Josh B. – TERRELL
Jason N. – TARYN.
Greg M. – GAIL KIM.
Anthony V. – TARYN TERRELL.
Matt O. – GAIL KIM.
Darragh O. – GAIL KIM.
Gary H. – GAIL KIM.
Goose O. – TARYN TERRELL.
Derek J. – TARYN TERRELL.
Jamie S. – TARYN.
Wade B. – Kim’s gotta grapevine Terrell’s legs around the ringpost sometime during this match. KIM wins and becomes the buffer between James and Sky’s budding feud, while James turns full-blown heel.
CONSENSUS: TERRELL 8-5.
Singles Match
A.J. Styles vs. Kurt Angle
Coire M. – A.J. STYLES.
Nick G. – AJ.
Josh B. – AJ.
Jason N. – CROW AJ.
Greg M. – A.J. STYLES.
Anthony V. – NO CONTEST.
Matt O. – AJ STYLES.
Darragh O. – KURT ANGLE.
Gary H. – A.J. STYLES.
Goose O. – AJ STYLES.
Derek J. – AJ STYLES.
Jamie S. – AJ.
Wade B. – Match of the night. Styles has to come out looking good here, so Hogan can eventually put him in the BFG Series. STYLES wins.
CONSENSUS: AJ STYLES 11-1 (WITH ONE NO CONTEST)
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES (each valued at two points)
Singles Match for the TNA Television Championship
Devon (c) vs. Joseph Park
Coire M. – DEVON.
Nick G. – PARK.
Josh B. – PARK.
Jason N. – PARK.
Greg M. – DEVON.
Anthony V. – DEVON.
Matt O. – DEVON.
Darragh O. – JOSEPH PARK.
Gary H. – DEVON.
Goose O. – JOSEPH PARK.
Derek J. – JOSEPH PARK.
Jamie S. – PARK.
Wade B. – I have no idea how TNA is gonna play this. Is “Abyss”, or just his theme music, gonna come out and help Park win? Would it distract Park and help Devon win? Is the Abyss/Devon feud gonna involve that worthless title? I’m picking DEVON to retain and hurt Park badly after the match.
CONSENSUS: JOSEPH PARK 7-6
Ultimate X Match for the TNA X Division Championship
Kenny King (c) vs. Chris Sabin vs. Suicide
Coire M. – CHRIS SABIN.
Nick G. – KING.
Josh B. – KING.
Jason N. – SABIN.
Greg M. – CHRIS SABIN.
Anthony V. – CHRIS SABIN.
Matt O. – KENNY KING.
Darragh O. – KENNY KING.
Gary H. – CHRIS SABIN.
Goose O. – SUICIDE.
Derek J. – SABIN.
Jamie S. – SABIN.
Wade B. – A couple weeks ago I remember Storm mention to Sabin something about him cashing the title in for a world title shot. If they’re still doing that then there’s only one choice here. SABIN wins the X-title.
CONSENSUS: SABIN WITH 8. King with 4 and Suicide with 1.
Four-Way Elimination Tag Team Match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship
Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Hernandez (c’s) vs. Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) vs. Bobby Roode and Austin Aries vs. James Storm and Gunner
Coire M. – CHAVO GUERRERO, JR. AND HERNANDEZ.
Nick G. – THE GREATEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED AND BOBBY ROOOOOO….OOOOO.
Josh B. – DIRTY HEELS (ROODE AND ARIES).
Jason N. – BEER GUNNY.
Greg M. – JAMES STORM AND GUNNER.
Anthony V. – STORM AND GUNNER.
Matt O. – BAD INFLUENCE.
Darragh O. – CHAVO GUERRERO JR. AND HERNANDEZ.
Gary H. – JAMES STORM AND GUNNER.
Goose O. – JAMES STORM AND GUNNER.
Derek J. – STORM/GUNNER.
Jamie S. – ARIES AND ROODE.
Wade B. – No way Chavo and Hernandez retain, so they’re out. I think Aires may still be in the doghouse a little from Crotchgate, so the Heels are out. There’s something weird about putting the titles on a team that formed not even two weeks ago. So I’m picking by far the most entertaining team out of this bunch to become the World Tag Team Champions… of the World, BAD INFLUENCE.
CONSENSUS: JAMES STORM AND GUNNER WITH 6. Aries and Roode with 3. Bad Influence and Chavo/Hernandez with 2.
No Holds Barred Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Stipulation: If Sting loses, he can no longer compete for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Bully Ray (c) vs. Sting
Coire M. – BULLY RAY.
Nick G. – BULLAY~!
Josh B. – BULLY RAY.
Jason N. – BULLY.
Greg M. – BULLY RAY.
Anthony V. – BULLY RAY.
Matt O. – BULLY RAY.
Darragh O. – STING.
Gary H. – BULLY RAY.
Goose O. – STING.
Derek J. – BULLY RAY.
Jamie S. – BULLY.
Wade B. – TNA is gonna copy, verbatim, the Stephanie/HHH marriage/DX angle. Brooke screws everyone (giggle), and helps BULLY RAY retains.
CONSENSUS: BULLY RAY 11-2
