Hardcore Justice: Where are they now. (2012-2013)

Mr. Book This Section

Getting Noticed By Management
Hello every man, women and other on this forum. So this is a segment I will do on each PPV a few before the PPV or the actual show. Now this is where I will take a look at where each person on the last year show is on this years lineup. Ok, now for this reason, I'm going to start with Hardcore Justice 2012 - 2013.

Ok firstly, Chavo Guerrero and Hernadez who were in the opening contest. A 9 minute tag team match. This year, Chavo Guerrero is hanging around the Tag Team scene and the X Division scene. Hernadez is now in the Bound for Glory series however he doesn't have many points. As of this writing he doesn't have a match but he probley will have a match come Hardcore Justice as so far 8/12 off the wrestlers in the BFG series have got points.

Now onto their opponents last year, Gunner and Kid Kash. Kid Kash has been released from his TNA contract, if he actually had one, and hasn't been seen in TNA recently. Gunner however returned from an absence and became the TNA Tag Team Champion which he currently holds however he hasn't yet got a match on the card.

The next match that was on last years card was RVD v. Mr Anderson v. Magnus. All three men where in the bound for glory series however where are they now? The Pope was also ment to be in the match however he suffered an injury, to make this into a storyline, the Aces and Eights took him out. RVD was the winner of that match and this year he is the number 1 contender to the US Champion in WWE. Mr Anderson is also still in the BFG series this year and the VP of the Aces and Eights. Magnus, however is arguebly the TNA breakout star of the year as he is also in the BFG series and a member of the Main Event Mafia.

The next match was Devon defending the TV title against Kazarian. Devon is now the Sergent of Arms over in TNA's Aces and Eights stable. He is also owned a TV Title rematch all the way from Slammiversary. Kazarian is also in the BFG series and in TNA's greatest tag team in a while, Bad Influence. He has also formed an alliance, threesome as I call them, Daniels, Kaz and Bobby Roode.

Also on last years card. Madison Rayne defeated Miss Tessmacher for the Knockout Championship. This year, Madison Rayne is pregnant and she has been released from her contract with the company. Miss Tessmacher has also recently gone inactive from singles competition.

The second BFG match of the night came about when Bully Ray defeated James Storm, Jeff Hardy and Robbie E. This year, Bully Ray is the president of the Aces and Eights stable and the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Champion. James Storm is the other half of the Tag Team championships with Gunner.. Jeff Hardy is also in the BFG series again this year. Robbie E's stock has fallen as he is now main eventing over on Xplosion with his best of 100 series with Eric Young. He is also teaming with Jesse Godderz too.

The next match was for the TNA X Division title. It was Zema Ion defending against Kenny King. This year Zema Ion is inactive due to an injury and Kenny King recently lost the X Division title.

The last of the BFG series matches came along with AJ Styles, Daniels, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. This year, AJ Styles is walking around like a tramp who now drinks beer after losing a few matches, he hobbled off into the woods. Now, Styles is in the BFG series. Daniels is also in the BFG series and in a team with Roode and Kaz. Samoa Joe and Angle are both in the Mafia now too. Joe will be in another BFG series match this year and Kurt Angle is currently in Rehab after driving under influence.

Last years main event was alot similar to this years, the X Division champion cashed in at Destination X to win the World Championship and then at Hardcore Justice their was a rematch. Just last year the particpants were different. Last year Austin Aries was the World Heavyweight Champion and this year he is in the BFG series to try and get that spot back. Bobby Roode was the number 1 contender last year for the world title and this year he is also in the bfg series.

Now onto new comers to this years show. The womans match will be Kim, ODB, velvet and James. None of them were on the card last year. Also Chris Sabin wasn't on last years card due to an injury, this year he walks in the X Division champion.

Top 5 Who's stock has raised?
- Chris Sabin (Now the World Heavyweight Champion)
- Bully Ray (Now the #1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion)
- Gunner (Now Tag Team Champion)
- James Storm (Now Tag Team Champion)
- Mickie James (Now Knockouts Champion)

- Madison Rayne (Not Knockouts Champion now and released)
- Austin Aries (No longer World Heavyweight Champion)
- Devon (No longer TV Champion)
- Zema Ion (No longer X Division Champion and Injured)

Wrestlers who have left since this PPV?
- Kid Kash
- Rob Van Dam
- Madison Rayne

Here is my question to you, who do you think has had his or her stock raised and lowered. I've given my picks. Remember, this is a no spam section so we need reasons.
 
AJ Styles : Last year he was also in a Ladder match but this year he has a completely new gimmick and is getting a huge push.

Bully Ray : This year he is in the main-event and is wrestling for the World Heavyweight Championship and the leader of the Aces & Eights.

Magnus: Last year he was in a mid-card match now in the leading TNA faction - Main Event Mafia, and currently leading the Bound for Glory Series and is getting a push.
 
James Storm was a contender for the heavyweight title last year, now he's tag team champion. His stock has fallen over the past year, having to face Robbie and Pectacular every night.

On the other hand, Sabin, Bully Ray, Magnus and Gunner have all seen considerable rises in their stock.
 
Let's discuss what has happened with AJ as I don't agree. AJ Styles hasn't really been pushed. He was getting a big push but then this whole Mafia-Aces thing took the spotlight away from Styles. I honestly don't think that AJ has changed since last year except his look.
