New face of TNA? At this point, TNA is entirely new person...

Anyhow, I wonder who the new face of TNA is? :roll:

Jarret will win the KOTM match someway!

Where the **** is Petey Willaims? Is he going to be placed in some random filler X dvisison match?! I wish he would challenge for the title

IMHO AJ and Daniels are only facing AMW because that's the only way TNA can get them on the card

Is it me or are TNA's PPVs deteriorating lately? I watched Sacrifice a couple of weeks ago on TWC and it was nothing spectacular to be perfectly honest. Even Williams/Lyger didn't win me over as I was hoping for.

Looking at this PPV now on paper -- terrible. For the return of the KOTM match, even that's not looking promising. :roll:

How TNA is drawing good ratings is beyond me.

Yeah, this PPV is not looking so hot.  I'm not sure TNA could have put together a worse lineup for the KOTM match, regardless of who wins Steiner-Sting (and I think its pretty obvious who'll be in the match) and I'm a huge fan of that gimmick.

The rest of the card does absolutely nothing for me.  I'm kinda missing TNA throwing out random combinations of Joe-Styles-Daniels for every PPV.  The Nash thing has been alot better than I expected, but that could change with this match.  Sabin has his work cut out for him.  As does Joe for his "probable" opponent... Also, what's that thing that Joe carries to ring with him with a big X on it?  I forgot why he has that?

Also, Tenay and West have been getting progessively worse as announcers, rapidly, in recent weeks.  3 Hours with them seems overwhelming.

Personally, I think the choice of putting Ron Killings in the KOTM was lackluster...Rhino would have been solid choice, in my humble opinion. Obviously, Jeff Jarrett being in the match does not help manners either.

I think Nash-Sabin will be average at best, however, who knows...Chris Sabin might be able to pull miracle out of Kevin Nash... Eh, probably not...

I would certainly not mind seeing Samoa Joe slapping around his "probable" opponent, however, that is by no means worth the price of this pay-per-view, especially when the match itself will probably be in the okay range.  

Honestly, for myself, Smackdown and TNA announcing teams our constantly switching back-and-fore for winner of "Most Annoying Announce Team."

On side note, I am thinking, in all likely hood, AMW-Staniels will be MOTN. (Still would not be worth the price of $30.00, when the rest of the pay-per-view is looking lackluster, overall)

I haven't been watching enough of Smackdown to get overly annoyed by Cole.  It just seems that the last few weeks Tenay and West have gotten much worse.

The biggest problem with the Fallen Styles-AMW matches is the fact TNA cannot have the match without going gimmick crazy on the finish.  Somehow, I see AJ and Daniels getting the Tag Straps for no real reason.

[QUOTE="keiblerfan69"]This is who I would of put in KOTM, Jeff Hardy(I would made him come back just for this match), Raven, Abyss, Ron Killings. mja2k3

ummm... what happened to sen-ki, low-shi, watever he is going by now... he debuted and havent heard about him sinceToTheBank

They said his ego is out of control, and that he has a bad reputation of having a bad behavior. I guess that's why we haven't heard of him anymore.

did he do a flip thing off the toprope or was it like he picked the guy up so his back was arched up and he dropped him down on his neck/back really hard. like a pumphandle drop?

the ki krusher 99 is awesome. he picks them up like a pumphandle position and then holds him up cradling his opponents head in his shoulders and just drops him down fast.

it's like a michinoku driver.

it's more impressive when he does it off the top rope :P

Low Ki has a huge impressive moveset that he has yet to show the TNA audience. Low Ki is one of the best wrestlers around today. he is a master of the modified strong style.

Ok, that last pic alone is enough to get interested in Low Ki, or Senshi, or whatever his name is.

At best, this show looks like it'd be on the low end of TNA's monthly PPVs and that's if just about everything exceeds my expectations. 

Sadly, I think this will be one of worst PPV TNA has produced since going to the monthly format.  Hopefully, I'm wrong, but I think TNA has really mismanaged the talent for this show.

I'd like to see Shelley take the typical TNA "throw a bunch of X Division guys together" match and get a shot at Joe.  Low Shi is the guy with the best chance of dethroning Joe, but he's hardly been built up enough to be effective.  Shelley's been on a tear and would be a solid opponent for Joe.  Let Ki get a strong showing, but have Shelley sneak a win and continue to build Ki slowly towards a match with Joe.

Can someone explain what the X Divsion exactly is? As seeing Nash join it, its not a cruiserweight division, doesnt seem like a hardcore, is it like the IC title with a twist?mrgab

[QUOTE="mrgab"]Can someone explain what the X Divsion exactly is? As seeing Nash join it, its not a cruiserweight division, doesnt seem like a hardcore, is it like the IC title with a twist?DirtyDarren

So its basically like the IC belt. Second best belt after the main.

IMHO

X divison champ always looks better than the NWA Champ

Samoa Joe is booked to be better than Christain

Also I'm getting tired of Petey Williams just being thrown into these random matches. They need to give him a fued with someone, too many X divison superstars are just being thrown around putting on great matches but for no reason

Eh, I shall be ordering this pay-per-view, mainly (and only) because my older brother is paying for it, because if this were not the case, I would certainly not be ordering this pay-per-view.

For whatever reason, he thinks he shall be great PPV... :|

has anyone else forgotten about christian lately?ToTheBank

Team 3-D over James Gang in apparently a horrible match.

Rhino over Roode & D'Amore

Low Ki won the 6 man x division match. awesome match apparently that went 20 minutes (that's long for a x division match). also for people who have never seen Low Ki before and were...*cough* impressed :P....tonight by him, i have something you should know.....he's always that awesome.

*sigh*

Nash beat Sabin.....8 minutes.
