All discussion here.​

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I went for Madison in this one.

I wouldn't have thought TNA would have Brooke drop the belt so quickly, but with the Madison/Earl Hebner storyline going on, with Rayne getting controversial wins in recent wins, I have a suspicion that maybe that could be the ending of this match, with Hebner gifting her the KO title....could we have a female Montreal Screwjob finish here?!

You never know.

Tough call, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Brooke retain, but I am leaning to a Hebner-assisted Madison Rayne win and a title change.

I voted Madison thinking along the same lines as Triple Naitch. Somehow Hebner gets Madison the win in some sort of screwjob fashion. I also would be surprised if Brooke Hogan came out and appointed a different ref for the match evening the playing field, but something tells me it will be Madison taking the title.

 

[Lowdown]

Its hard to pick who will win this one, especially counsidering the shenanigans of Hegber these last two weeks. Madison seems to be the favorite, so I'll go with that. But this whole Hebner/Madison plot, meh. Need to finish this up and quick.

I wanna say Brooke wins I really do but I have a feeling Madison is gonna walk out of Hardcore Justice with the Knockouts Title held high over her head which could very well be the end of the Earl/Madison storyline with Madison just using Earl to get the Knockouts Title back but im hopeful that Brooke can pull off the victory I mean after all that build up they cant go the Velvet Sky route with her can they? Going with Madison.

THIS........ I want Brooke to retain, I know we just came from the longest knockouts title reign in history but I want to see what Brooke does with the belt at least for 3 months so they give us a chance to see what brooke can do with the spotlight on her.... but at the same time Madison´s story with Earl has really picked up in the last month and It wouldnt shock me to see madison walk out with the belt after a screwy finish.... I voted brooke but madison winning seems more and more likely....

 

[RawIsJericho]

Really happy to see Madi back in the mix for the title here, I think she is awesome. There was a recent thread about the demise of the KO's division and I said in there that I hoped the whole Madi/Hebner thing was going to lead to him eventually serving up the title for her and I expect now is where we will see it happen.

and then Madi will reveal how she just sucked Hebner in to get the belt etc.

I'm not a fan of Madison Rayne so I voted for Brooke Tessmacher out of sheer preference. Naitch mentioned a "female Montreal Screwjob" type finish and I do think it would be pretty interesting if they went down that route. At the same time, I really didn't enjoy Rayne's last run as KO Champion and I would much rather see Tessmacher hold the title for a few months at least.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Not exactly a match I'm in a hurry to watch, but it could be worse and there are two other matches that come to mind that I have less interest in watching. They've put on far worse Knockout matches before, although I'm really not interested in this one. I'd rather see Madison take the belt back. She should have won the belt back a long time ago and I'd like to see her have another run at the top of the division, plus if anyone deserves to eventually break Angelina's record of most reigns (or Awesome Kong's record for most days holding the belt) right now it's her. Tessmacher was a rather random choice for Knockout Champion anyhow and I only wanted to see her win in the first place so that someone ANYONE could take the title off of Gail Kim. So.... Madison wins.

DAGGER'S PREDICTION
Madison Rayne will win the TNA Knockouts Championship.

 

[Da Prophet]

Can't go against my favourite Madison Rayne in this match. You've got all the stuff with Earl going on and the "wins" she has been getting in recent weeks. I picked Tessmacher in the prediction contest by mistake but I'm sold on Rayne walking away with the victory for this match. I really enjoyed her time as champion and she's really attractive so that's a plus.

I'm not expecting an entertaining match but I'll be happy to watch Madison Rayne for a couple of minutes.
