Hopefully, TNA will sell more tickets and fill up that arena, otherwise I don't know how they'll make it look full...anyway, here's what might happen, with the matches listed so far:
Drinking Championship, Eric Young vs. James Storm: don't know if this'll be a wrestling match or a comedy act. Hopefully, it will be a legit match putting Storm over...I think Eric Young is not ready for the main event even though they thrust him into it at Turning Point. Storm is the better all-around talent.
Grudge Match, Booker T vs. Robert Roode: Booker T avenges his wife's injury. Plain and simple. Although, if they put Roode over, he would be a massive heel, even more so than he is.
TNA World Tag Team Championship, AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. BG James and "Bullet" Bob Armstrong: I am praying that AJ and Tomko retain in this match, but it's hard to tell lately with TNA pushing Tomko as his own man and AJ wrapped up in the Angle Alliance. At some point, they have to get the belts off of these two, but hopefully it's not here (hopefully the Motor City Machineguns down the road)...
6-Man Hardcore Street Fight, Motor City Machineguns and Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D and X-Division Champion Johnny Devine - if MCMG and Lethal win, the X Division stays and Team 3D must get their weight under 275 lbs; if 3D and Devine win, the X Division is gone forever: MCMG and Lethal should get the win here. The X Division is TNA's baby, and "losing" it would risk viewers. Should be a lot of heat in this one, they have built it up well, IMO.
TNA Women's Knockout Championship, Awesome Kong (c) vs. ODB: Awesome Kong should get the win here, if they wish to show her off as an unstoppable monster...although ODB is unique and I like her gimmick, she will look strong though...
Barbed Wire Massacre, Abyss vs. Judas Messias: Abyss hopefully gets the win here. This program with James Mitchell and Judas Messias has gone on too long, and their needs to be a plateau match. If not here, then at Lockdown, which also seems fitting....
TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage: Hopefully, the Samoa Joe dynamic will be settled before this, he should be a competitor in this match, not just the "special enforcer", what a cop-out...should be an entertaining match if he is involved, could go a lot of ways...however, if he is not, Angle will retain, sadly...
This is just my take on this PPV, there are probably more matches to be announced. They will probably have Shark Boy doing his Stone Cold gimmick, beating up Sonjay Dutt or even getting involved in the Drinking Championship to some degree...hopefully this will be a good PPV, TNA usually pulls it off at their PPVs...

Hey guys this is my first post on here so bare with me. I heard a rumor going around in South Carolina that the Abyss/Messias match wont be live, but instead the audience would be treated to a taped version of it. The word is that the athletic commission wouldnt allow the barbed wire match to go on live so they were going to tape it and show it there instead. I know, I know this is a pretty ridiculous rumor, Im just curious if anyone else has heard about this

Here is my take on what will happen:
Drinking Championship, Eric Young vs. James Storm: I think Storm will win this one, EY has had his drinking belt for a while now so i think Storm will take it back. Could be a good match.
Grudge Match, Booker T vs. Robert Roode: Looking forward to this, logic says Booker will win but i have a feeling they could have him win at the next ppv.
TNA World Tag Team Championship, AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. BG James and "Bullet" Bob Armstrong: I hope AJ and Tomko win, i know they could set up a feud between the two but i just dont see the point in giving it to BG & Bob, although part of me thinks that will happen
6-Man Hardcore Street Fight, Motor City Machineguns and Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D and X-Division Champion Johnny Devine: Should be a great match with Lethal and the Guns getting the win, tbh i thought they would have in the Ultimate X, shame they didnt use the idea they had of a plate glass table match for the rematch but what are you gonna do.
TNA Women's Knockout Championship, Awesome Kong (c) vs. ODB: Kong will win but the feud will continue. Have to say TNA have done a fantastic job with the Knockouts, i never watch the WWE's Diva matches from fear of bleeding through my eyes
Barbed Wire Massacre, Abyss vs. Judas Messias: Everyone knows/ expects this to be a huge match and it should be. Abyss should get the win and maybe put the feud to rest.
TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage: I hope Cage wins, mainly for the fact he just gets better and better on the mike and i cant wait to hear from the Champ! Not too sure how the Joe factor is going to come into play, you would expect him to help cage but they could end up having him cost Cage the title (lets hope not).
Overall there are some really good matches and im really looking forward to the ppv.

I see a lot of interference throughout this card to set up for Lockdown which I believe is next:
EY v. James Storm - I think EY wins after some misque with Jackie, leads to a roll up, basically wasting storm a little more
Booker v. Rude - He's Booker T in his first ppv singles match, hmmm, basically continuing the wasting Rude as an upper card jobber
AJ/Tomko v. Bullet/BG - Kip comes out cost them the match on purpose, BG gets upset and TNA breaks up a legendary tag team, something happens with Karen mid match which makes Tomko more, maybe walking out mid match on AJ
Lethal/MCMG v. 3D/Devine - Devine is the X champ, why would Devine want to eliminate the division he is champ of? Devine takes kendo stick his Devon, MCMG hit double kicks, Lethal hits elbow.... then a 4 way stare down between shelley, sabin, devine, and lethal with the belt in the middle, I want to see that match
Kong v. ODB - Kong wins by DQ when Gail Kim comes out, or Kong wins with help from mouthpiece and then Kim comes out
Traci v Rain - I think it is gonna happen and Traci gets the win and Rude gets angry
Abyss/Messias - I know what happens so no talking, but this is one gimmick match i just dont like
Cage v Angle - Karen interferes, AJ interferes, Tomko interferes, but when Joe comes out that match gets thrown out, and sets up Joe v Cage v Angle
EY v. James Storm - I think EY wins after some misque with Jackie, leads to a roll up, basically wasting storm a little more
Booker v. Rude - He's Booker T in his first ppv singles match, hmmm, basically continuing the wasting Rude as an upper card jobber

Predictions:
With Angle winning last month, you would imagine Cage would win this month. Although I really aren't sure when it comes to TNA. I'm sure it will be a good match. But why can't TNA keep Angle & Joe away from each other?
TNA's women's division is great. It's the only thing I look forward to in that company. I imagine this match will still take place (with Kong's mum croaking it). Should be good. Kong wins.
Should be decent but it's a worthless match. Lethal, Shelley & Sabin win.
The only barbed wire match I've ever liked has included Abyss so It might be ok. But Abyss is getting really boring now. I don't care who wins. I haven't read the spoilers, but I'm predicting Mesias.
TNA World Tag Team Title Match:
Why?
Styles and Tomko win. hope.
Booker T vs. Robert Roode:
I'd admiral of Booker to have his first feud with an up and coming wrestler. But he should have feuded with Angle first/ Booker wins.
Drinking Championship:
Storm deserves better. He will be a loser even in victory.
Tracy Brooks vs. Payton Banks:
I don't expect this to be half as good as the Knog match. The new girl wins.
Overall it's a poor show. It's pretty much the same as last month. Each PPV has a highlight as I'm sure this one will. But if I was American and I had to pay to see this I'd be pissed. The only reason I'll watch it is because it's not on Box Office.

TheOneBigWill's Against All Odds Predictions: (Thanks for the graphics, Jake)
So as its been pointed out. Christian Cage a year ago defeated Kurt Angle, and then a year later, Angle defeated Christian Cage. Not only is this the tie breaker (of sorts) but its also a month following Angle's victory. Surely they wouldn't have Angle go over Cage two p.p.v.'s in a roll, would they?
Of COURSE they WOULD! Samoa Joe could "accidentally" get hit by Angle, at which point Angle would jump out of the way and when Joe turns around, all he'd see is Cage. At which point, Joe could completely go nuts on killing Cage.. Angle could pick up the cheap victory, then on the following iMPACT! Joe could see what happened, what he did.. and we'll have yet another Angle/Joe "epic" in the making, for the World Championship. I'd rather Christian Cage became the World Champion, but unfortunately, it won't be shocking if he doesn't.
Amesome Kong's first Pay Per View title defense. Naturally, they've spent all this time building her as unstoppable.. and in my eyes, O.D.B. is nothing amazing. She's barely entertainable, and hardly watchable. I'm hoping this match turns out better in the ring, than it looks from eye-view. Which is absolutely disgusting. Kong should go over pretty convincingly, otherwise Gail's title run and end will of been for nothing.
If Team 3D & Devine win, the X-Division is simply no longer to exist. If the Guns and Lethal win, Team 3D would have to jump to a specific weight to ever compete in T.N.A. again. (from what I've come to understand)
This in itself should be Team 3D's apparent departure from T.N.A. and their rumored jump back to the W.W.E. I can't for the life of me see the X-Division being destroyed, especially since its the only original Championship that Total Non-Stop Action has created for themselves to carry their company as a unique alternative. However, turning the X-Division into a Television Division isn't out of the question either.. just highly disappointing if it does happen.
I see Alex picking up the victory as the winner of the fall, becomes the *New* X-Division Champion, and he's the only one of the group who hasn't held the Championship, yet deserves a run with it.
I understand why they've had this match already taped and done, but if they knew they wouldn't of been able to hold it on Pay Per View live, then why run it on P.P.V. (as a reply) to begin with? Just hold it off for a month, and do it in a state that allows barbwire to be done.
I think this is a mistake, and another example of T.N.A. wanting to rush through their storylines at the cost of shock value entertainment. I'm fully waiting for the p.p.v. setting to look differently, unless during the taping of this they changed the aprons around.. and which point the fans in the front row should be completely different. (Yes, I'm picky enough to notice the small things.. and YES, I'm picky enough to be annoyed with all of it)
I did read the spoilers, but have since forgotten who actually wins. If I had to make the choice, I'd say Abyss simply because Judas picked up the victory at the last match. (I think, its getting hard to remember T.N.A. in general) I don't think they'd bury Abyss to Judas, either.
TNA World Tag Team Title Match: A.J. Styles and Tomko v. B.G. James and Bullet Bob Armstrong:
This is the second time they've put the very highly talented duo of Styles and Tomko against a very piss poor excuse for a Tag Team, in the Father/Son duo of the Armstrongs. I can't imagine this match being longer than 10 minutes, with B.G. against both Tomko and Styles each for 5 minutes, and finally Kip turning heel on the Father/Son duo, by costing them the match.. to further his point that he should've been the partner, and they wouldn't of lost.
The sickening part to all of this? It means at some point B.G. and Bob will have to come close to winning the match, to actually be cost the match. All this will do, is ruin, hurt, and destroy any credibility that Styles and Tomko have as wrestlers in general. And for what? A single's feud between the former New Age Outlaws? Remember their last feud? I think it went 2 monthes, before they ended up finding new partners, and ultimately returning as a team together. Lets hope T.N.A. doesn't rewrite history, from watching it the exact same way.
Booker T vs. Robert Roode:
I think the whole world would find themselves shocked, if Robert Roode ended up coming out with a clean victory. I do, however, think this could end in a disqualification with Roode still coming out victorious.
Booker T. should be full of anger and rage. Roode could even make some mention to what he did, causing Booker to blow up completely, resulting in a crap finish and another rematch between the two at Destination X. Overall, I hope not. I actually like these two, and its a nice starting point for Booker T.. but we all know we're building to a Booker T. - T.N.A. Championship run. It'll happen before the end of the year, I'm almost guaranteeing it.
And the ending to this feud is obviously gonna have to be the push of Booker T. over T.N.A. original talent. Pathetic in my opinion, but its gonna happen at some point. Might as well make it quick for Roode, so he can advance back into something he could have a remote chance with.
Drinking Championship: James Storm v. Eric Young:
How many times are we going to see these two against each other? I understand they're pushing Eric Young, but the idea of pushing someone normally results in having them go over different opponents, not the same guy each f'n month.
Furthermore, this is the dumbest Championship in Professional Wrestling in recent memory. When I think of this title, I think of the dumb result of Sharkboy's new gimmick. I can only imagine the winner of this match, and Championship, will be defending it against Sharkboy next month.. at which point Sharky will reveal a new "Hammerhead" design for the Championship, to go with his watered down (rip off) of a gimmick.
Young/Storm - it doesn't honestly matter. Why should "I" bother caring, when the actual company apparently doesn't.
Tracy Brooks vs. Payton Banks:
I'm only hoping that this will further bury W.W.E.'s Women's Division, as neither of these females are considered prime choice for the next challenger to Kong's Championship. However, what it would do upon them having a great match, is show how deep T.N.A.'s female roster goes, and how talented each of them are.
The actual Brooks/Banks feud? It could swing either way. Brooks could pick up the moral victory, for being held down so long. (dispite she still doesn't have the appeal or quality of a face) Or, Banks could pick up the victory, in a heelish/Roode helping way.. to put her over more, which needs to be done, since for the previous what now, 3 monthes, she's been nothing more than a stalker type fan?!
Overall Outlook: I used to look forward to T.N.A. Pay Per Views. Now they just randomly come and go, without me having any excitment for them what-so-ever. T.N.A. used to be filled with exciting matches, and anticipated feuds. Now all they have are slapped together mid-cards, and maybe one or two decently put together (albeit completely predictable) feuds to carry the Main Event.
I hope T.N.A. turns something around soon, because they've gotten all the right advantages and pushes to help them become a logical threat to W.W.E., yet still haven't taken hold of any opportunity they've been given.
Yes, this is more of an ending rant on me against T.N.A.'s overall production of their product.. but regarding this P.P.V., I think its clearly obvious that its just another random show to get through a month. Sadly.

SpiralHands
Hardcore Revolutionist
I keep forgetting that TNA is having PPV this month and the fact that its outside the iMPACT zone. Usually when TNA have PPVS outside the zone they builkd them huge and make massive matches but to be honest I dont think this one has either of them two.
Anyway quick predictions for the matches then..
Tracy Brooks vs Peyton Banks
Not to bothered with this one, I see Brooks winning cleanly and ending the feud.
DCS James Storm vs Eric Young
James Storm wins hear to get his heat level up again and become a top heel in TNA. So most like a dirty finish.
Robert Roode vs Booker T
Hard one to call but I see Booker winning this one with help from Sharmell returning.
TNA Tag Team Championship. AJ Styles+Tomko vs Bullet Bob Armstrong+BJ James
TNA have to take the tag champs of AJ and Tomko soon and with the shite going on in TNA now I wouldn't be surprised to see BJ and Bullet win it, but I think Kip James will cost them the match.
Abyss vs Judas mesias Barbed wire massacre.
Im looking forward to this match but I dont think the crowd will react very well to it being taped etc but hey not TNAs fault. I hope that Abyss wins this and gets on to something new. But I have a hunch TNA are not done with this stroyline.
Team 3D+Jonny Devine vs MCMG
We all the stipulations with this match. Expect it to either be a all out war and great match or a piss poor attenpt at hardcore. Either way TNA aren't stupid enough to kill the X Division, and isn't the other stipulation that whoever gets the pinfall gets the X Title, I think Shelly will get the title leading to MCMG splitting down the line.
TNA Knockouts Championship
Long fight ODB putting up a fair fight but falling short of Kong.
TNA Champiosnhip Kurt Angle vs Chrstian Cage
I see Kurt winning this more than likely but I can see Joe costing somneone the match without a doubt. So if Angle does win like I think he will Joe will have helped him and opposite for Chrstian.
Either way should be and average PPV.
Anyway quick predictions for the matches then..
Tracy Brooks vs Peyton Banks
Not to bothered with this one, I see Brooks winning cleanly and ending the feud.
DCS James Storm vs Eric Young
James Storm wins hear to get his heat level up again and become a top heel in TNA. So most like a dirty finish.
Robert Roode vs Booker T
Hard one to call but I see Booker winning this one with help from Sharmell returning.
TNA Tag Team Championship. AJ Styles+Tomko vs Bullet Bob Armstrong+BJ James
TNA have to take the tag champs of AJ and Tomko soon and with the shite going on in TNA now I wouldn't be surprised to see BJ and Bullet win it, but I think Kip James will cost them the match.
Abyss vs Judas mesias Barbed wire massacre.
Im looking forward to this match but I dont think the crowd will react very well to it being taped etc but hey not TNAs fault. I hope that Abyss wins this and gets on to something new. But I have a hunch TNA are not done with this stroyline.
Team 3D+Jonny Devine vs MCMG
We all the stipulations with this match. Expect it to either be a all out war and great match or a piss poor attenpt at hardcore. Either way TNA aren't stupid enough to kill the X Division, and isn't the other stipulation that whoever gets the pinfall gets the X Title, I think Shelly will get the title leading to MCMG splitting down the line.
TNA Knockouts Championship
Long fight ODB putting up a fair fight but falling short of Kong.
TNA Champiosnhip Kurt Angle vs Chrstian Cage
I see Kurt winning this more than likely but I can see Joe costing somneone the match without a doubt. So if Angle does win like I think he will Joe will have helped him and opposite for Chrstian.
Either way should be and average PPV.
Capt. Charisma
Getting Noticed By Management
This was offically the worse TNA PPV ever, anyone who actualy were stupid enough to pay for it I feel your pain, I stole it yet I feel like I was the one robbed...
I had to wait 2 hours 15 minutes for the first decent wrestling match. And even the somewhat decent main-event could not save what was a disaster of a PPV.
The whole PPV ended up been a spot fest, or the first two matches case a couple of clusterfucks that Khali or Mark Henry would be ashamed of.
After I got the bad taste out my mouth from those two 'matches' I was subjected to a confusing poorly thought out match between Petey and Steiner. It was ok, but Steiner kept lifting Peteys head up at the two count which was stupid, then both of them used the breifcases illegally right in front of the ref, Steiner low blowed Petey in front of the Ref and still no DQ. Fuck knows what that was about, apart from that there were a few spots from Petey and Steiner but still a pretty poor match.
Kong vs ODB was ok, but felt such a let down from Gail Kim vs Kong, ODB got a lot of offense in this match to put her over but it made the amtch kinda suck, at least they had Kong win though.
I was so disgusted at this point I decided to go and make some toast so I missed the Storm/Young match.
I missed some of the Abyss/Mesias match it was ok, but I have seen these two in soo many matches together, and the gimmick match bored me. I am soo sick of seeing Abyss in gimmicked matches it sucks. The feud is well past its sell-by date and hopefully they have something new after this for Abyss after this. Second best match of the night though apart from been such a predictable Abyss gimmick match.
The street fight could have been such a great match but they completely ruinied it by making it too much of a spot fest. Like simulatious moves by Lethal and the MCMG's all match non-stop. It was just soooo fake it made me want to cry. The match was also ruined by having Lethal beat 3D and Devine practically on his own for half the match, it didnt make Lethal look good just made 3D and Devine look weak. Also not having Shelly and Sabin in the match for such a long time ruined it as the match needed some of there x-divison high flying style to keep it entertaining.
Finally the title match was a good match, finally some wrestling!! Cage proved again that he does the business in the ring as well as out of it, even if he was in there with Angle. Cage really sold Angle's technical offense well, and Angle sold Cage's and the match put both of them over in my opinion and pretty much everything was good about this match until it was tainted by the obvious heel turn by Tomko which wasnt done well at all in my opinion. Everyone new it was comming at it ruined what was an otherwise good match.
However even this match couldn't save the worse PPV I have watched in recent memory, certainly the last 3 years. What was TNA thinking?!

The PPV was Suck as hell..
befor watching the PPV, I was little surprised that the fans didn't buy
tickets to see Against All Odds ... at the end they gave a lot for free just
to fill the empty seats and show the world that they are GOOD !
anyway, the first match tag titles was really bad the 60 years old
didn't do any thing ( as sure every body expected nothing from him )..
but I spent the whole match wondering Why TNA choose such
a bad team like this ? it could be really good if Kip and BG james
as VKM in the match... the whole thing was suck actually .. and I thanked
god cause Tomko & Aj still champs ,, I thought TNA will do another stupid thing.
the Ms.Brooks & Ms.Banks was really good match I enjoyed it, as the
fans also did .. I wish this fued to continue even more.
the Case Vs. Case ... I don't know why scott has the both cases
when he came, it looks really confusing, but the match it self was
Awesome, and I think now scott will be the new X champion
soon rather than tna champion.
Storm and Eric was Suck .. Kong and ODB the whole match was ok
but everybody knew that kong will win, that what made the match
to a lot of people look predictible. Street fight match was good but
MMG made the match looks like total nonstop fake every time sabin
want to do some thing shelly reads his mind and do the same damn
thing ! How He knew that ?? really suck. black machismo was amazing.
Cage and Angle was good match, but with all the rumors I knew he will
win and even it's look like destination X Kurt will still the champ until
joe take the title at Lock Down, I don't like the fact that TNA some times
trying to make champions in big ppv like Bound for Glory and Lock Down and
Slammaversary, well Against all Odds was a bad PPV even people don't
want to buy ticket ! please wake up TNA ..

I don't know how you really understand,
is that mean when some thing I don't like I shouldn't say some thing good
about it!
2 matches I knew the result of it .. 2 matches the result was obvious ..
Kong Vs. ODB & Cage Vs. Angle ...
but I don't want to talk bad and be the guy that nothing satisfy him
at least some thing good I can say for the efforts of the match
but to me I knew how TNA will handle women's title and angle's situation.
thats why I said the ppv was bad and thats why I felt from the begining that the ppv will be not that good and thats why people are not
excited to buy some tickets.
