TNA Turning Point - November 9, 2008

Just in case it was not obvious, the pay-per-view is on today. :PLink256

Actually just noticed that as havent watched this past weeks Impact yet(recorded).

TNA Turning Point 2008 Predictions

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Sting(c) vs. AJ S_tyles

WINNER: AJ S_tyles wins via pin-fall.

FINISH: I'm guessing that someone from the MEM (I'm guessing Steiner) and tries to help Sting but Joe attacks him (the guy interfering), then AJ surprises Sting and hits the St_les Clash to win and win the Triple Crown for the 4th time and World Heavyweight Champion.

Revenge Match
Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash

WINNER: Joe via pin-fall

FINISH: Joe hits the Muscle Buster on Nash for the win. After the match Steiner attacks Joe after the match.

TNA Legends Championship
Booker T(c) vs. Christian Cage

WINNER: Booker wins via pin-fall to win Legends Title.

FINISH: Royal T goes for the axe kick but Christian avoids it and tries to hit the Unprettier but Sharmell distracts the ref and Booker hits Christian with the belt for the win.

TNA World Tag Team Championship
Beer Money, Inc.(c) vs. The Motor City Machineguns

WINNER: Sabin pins Storm to win Tag Titles.

FINISH: Storm tries to hit Sabin with a beer bottle but Sabin misses it and hits Roode instead and Sabin/Shelley do the ASCS Rush combination.

Abyss vs. Kurt Angle

WINNER: Angle wins via pin-fall

FINISH: Abyss is distracted by Matt Morgan's interference and Angle hits the Angle Slam for the win.

Grudge Match
Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir

WINNER: Sheik wins via-pin fall (all my guesses that Daviari would lose have all been wrong for the past 3 PPVs)

FINISH: SAB hits the DDT (Weapons Of Mass Destruction) for the win.

#1 Contendership for the X-Division Championship

Sonjay Dutt, Eric Young, "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave, Homicide, Doug Williams, Tanahashi & Volador
WINNER: Homicide pins Dutt.

FINISH: Homicide hits Dutt with the Gringo/Cop Killer.

Knockouts Tag Team Match

TNA Women's Champion Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Taylor Wilde & Roxxi

WINNER: Kong pins Wilde after a Awesome bomb for the win.

Just in case it was not obvious, the pay-per-view is on today. :PLink256

Sting over AJ by pin. TNA goes back to formula here, I think. ****loads of interference by Sting's geezer brigade and the guys they are killing. Possibly a heel turn. Wouldn't be shocked to see the death guitar shot make its return.

Joe over Nash by pin. I'll say interference by the old guys. Joe needs to win, though and Nash'll probably pull a groin getting in the ring.

Booker over Christian by... pin. Interference aplenty to aid Book in the win.

Team Boring over the MCMGs by pin. Is Jackie still around? She interferes.

Angle over Abyss by submission. I'll say no interference... with no confidence.

Rhino over ... that guy by pin. Better go this way. No interference... I guess.

X-Division: Shark Boy by whatever the hell the rules of this match state.

Yeah, I really have not been paying attention to TNA.

Updated the first post. I'm very sorry for the late update. (I was hopin' some of our fellow Officers would update it.)

PREDICTIONS!

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Sting vs. AJ S_tyles

Finish: AJ pins Sting with help from TNA Originals fending away MEM.

Revenge Match
Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash

Finish: I'm saying Joe wins by DQ after he locks in Kokina Clutch on Nash and Steiner inferferes causing 2 on 1.

TNA Legends Championship
Booker T vs. Christian Cage

Cage gets clean win to continue Booker/Cage feud into next PPV.

TNA World Tag Team Championship
Beer Money, Inc. vs. The Motor City Machineguns

Guns get the win after 3D runs in and screws over Beer Money.

Abyss vs. Kurt Angle

Morgan will cost Abyss this match somehow. Probably some spot where Abyss holds up Angle for Morgan to hit him and Angle gets out of the way in order for Morgan to connect on Abyss.

Grudge Match
Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir

I see no reason for Rhino to get a win over SAB. Saying Sab wins clean.

#1 Contendership for the X-Division Championship
My seeding predictions or order of elimination:

10. Volador 9. Tanahashi 8. Doug Williams 7. Jimmy Rave 6. Creed 5. Dutt 4. Eric Young 3. Petey 2. Homicide

and #1 and winner of the gauntlet is Jay Lethal after a pinfal on Homicide.

Knockouts match

Roxxi pins Saaid clean setting up Kong/Roxxi for next PPV.

X-Division Championship Seeding Match: Winner and #1 Contender for the X-Division Title, Eric YoungLink256

D'oh! Looks like "Serious" Eric Young is here to stay

Goofy Eric > Serious Eric

Beer Money def. The Motor City Machine Guns via pin to retain the TNA Tag-Team Championship

Rhino was somewhat upset after his match last night due to nobody telling him that Scott Hall would be in the crowd. He felt the distraction hurt his match. Publicly, TNA is claiming that they knew ICP would be there but not Hall. In reality, TNA did know Hall would be there. Many backstage thought TNA should have told the talent that Hall would be there.

I call it like I see it. Beer Money is unstoppable. I do like James Storm though. Couldn't care less about Roode. 

ICP was approved by TNA to appear in attendance at the PPV on Sunday night with the goal being to do some cross promotion between their Juggalo Championship Wrestling promotion and TNA. However, TNA ended up asking them to leave because Scott Hall had not been approved to appear and was taking attention away from the Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir match.

So even if Scott Hall buys a ticket he can't get a seat at a TNA event? Is how it is at all wrestling events that anyone can be taken out even if they have a ticket? Or was he being disruptive?

It was at the Impact zone, so people are just let in free of charge, including Scott Hall. So my guess since no one pays to get in, TNA can refuse a spot to whoever they want which is unfortunate for Scott Hall.

It would be sweet if he joined TNA one last time though just to have a drinking contest with James Storm.
