Eric Young apparently is making a challenge this Thursday. that was what they said on the 8/3 edition of TNA Today. so we get to see EY/RR yet again! The Neverending Feud! At least the Impact Zone seems to like it! on yesterday's TNA Today he challenged Roode to a "Humiliation Match"

What the heck is that? Whoever "pulls a Blade"* first loses the match?
*"pulls a Blade" = loses his pants.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who isn't even remotely excited by any of the matches announced thus far, am I?
Latin American Exchange VS Voodoo Kin Mafia LAX used to be the tag team champions and arguably the most over tag team on TNA's roster. Now they're stuck in a nowhere feud with two hasbeens (or maybe never-were's, depending on your point of view), and odds are they'll end up pinned after a run-in by Hoyt, Christy, and Scuba Steve
Bar Room Brawl: Rhino VS James Storm Has a match involving Rhino interested anyone since the first (and only) ECW One Night Stand? I get that Storm is an up and coming main eventer, but Rhino jobs more than Mick Foley these days. I don't know if they'll be fighting in an actual bar or they plan to set up a bar with shot glasses and martinis in the ring.
Tag Team Dream Match: The Steiners VS Team 3-D How in the hell is this a dream match? Four over-age wrestlers stumbling around the ring sucking all the oxygen out of the arena until people in the audience pass out? The Steiners from the 90's taking on the Dudley Boyz would've been a dream match. Current Steiners VS Team 3-D sounds about as exciting as two moles duking it out. Sure, it's good for a laugh, but it ain't worth $30.
Kurt Angle VS Samoa Joe IV Two of the best wrestlers in the world, and they've only managed to have one decent match thus far. But I guess the law of averages says this one should be worth watching. Problem is hardly anyone outside the Impact Zone gives a damn anymore, and every title being on the line ine one match just makes the whole thing ri-goddamn-diculous.
Add to that an inevitable Roode/Young confrontation and Abyss's Doomsday Chamber of Blood, which should garner overwhelming amounts of apathy, and you've got a program that--were it not for Kurt Angle and Christian being on the card--is little more exciting than most indy cards. Hell, I probably have seen indy cards that could draw bigger.
These aren't the words of some mindless "hater." I hardly watch WWE, if ever, and I'd love to see TNA manage to establish themselves as a legitimate alternative. But their current product iis so bad, it would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
But their ratings have slowly risen, which just leaves me thinking, "My God! People actually pay to watch this!?"

I don't know the Angle/Joe stuff lately has been funny and exciting and James Storm is so great, definately TNA's answer to Edge. Also I see LAX beating down VKM and than going on to feud with either Team 3D(as tweeners) or Steiners(as heels). Really this PPV looks a thousand times better than anything WWE Could do right now. The only interest I've had with WWE is ECW with Punk, Burke and Morrison. At least TNA is giving the tag title some big match exposure, on Raw you're lucky to even see the tag champs.

Errrrrr, the RAW Tag Titles have been a major point this ENTIRE YEAR, except for the past like 2 weeks, and weren't used as merely props to fuel this tired and increasingly absurd Joe/Angle feud. The only match I'm remotely excited about is whatever match Triple X or the MCMG end up in, but I doubt they'll get more than 6-8 minutes. And you better pray to god that what they put on is better than what the WWE with half of it's major stars out injured could put on...

Here's my predictions for this cluster f*** of a PPV known as Hard Justice.
WINNER TAKES ALL – EVERY TITLE ON THE LINE Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle vs. “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe Joe's got to get the title eventually right? God, this match has the pre-funk of a Russo swerve all over it. But Kurt Angle can't be the X Division champ can he? Winner: Kurt Angle...no wait! Samoa Joe...no! Uh...
DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD Sting, Abyss & “The Punisher” Andrew Martin vs. “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles & Tomko Andrew "Not Frank Castle" Martin might as well turn on Sting now and get it out of the way. Winner: Christian's Coalition
TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH The Steiner Brothers vs. Team 3D Team 3D still seem to be favorites of the booking team despite the fact that the fans clearly like the Steiners more. Winners: Team 3D
BARROOM BRAWL “The War Machine” Rhino vs. “Cowboy” James Storm Let's not make Rhino into a jobber shall we? Winner: Rhino
HUMILIATION MATCH Eric Young vs. Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks Winner: Eric Young
The Latin American Xchange vs. The Voodoo Kin Mafia Winners: LAX...for the love of god, LAX
“Wildcat” Chris Harris vs. The Debut of Dustin Rhodes’ “Black Reign” Well, Dustin Rhodes is debuting a new gimmick so he should win even though he sucks. Winner: Dustin Rhodes, ugh.
The Motor City Machineguns vs. Triple X vs. “The Guru” Sonjay Dutt & “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal I'm still hoping for MCMC to make a big impact but you can't deny the popularity of Triple X right now. Winners: Triple X

I'll take a shot at a few predictions here...
WINNER TAKES ALL – EVERY TITLE ON THE LINE Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle vs. “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe Joe should've been champ a year ago. Angle really never should've been champ. So naturally, Angle will probably win this one. Maybe after his wife inadvertantly hits Joe with a chair or something, leaving everyone wondering whether or not she really meant to hit Angle. (Actually, that's not entirely true. Probably, no one will even care.) Winner: Kurt Angle
DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD Sting, Abyss & “The Punisher” Andrew Martin vs. “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles & Tomko Everyone's calling for Martin to turn on Sting. Just get it out of the way and move on. Which, given TNA's track record, probably means it'll drag for 6-7 months. I figure Christian's team gets the win after Martin accidentally knocks out Abyss somehow. After all, let's face it, Abyss is still little more than a glorified jobber in a cheap Kane mask. Winner: Christian Coalition TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH The Steiner Brothers vs. Team 3D Dream match? As in people will probably be put to sleep by it? The losers in this match are clearly the fans. The winners will be Team 3-D. I guess. Winners: Team 3D
BARROOM BRAWL “The War Machine” Rhino vs. “Cowboy” James Storm Rhino IS a jobber. Has been since he entered TNA. No reason to change that now. And apparantly, there's no reason to give him anything but stupid gimmick matches, either. Winner: Storm
HUMILIATION MATCH Eric Young vs. Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks How long has this feud been going? A year? And when did people lose interest? Before it started? Hopefully Eric wins and finally ends this crappy story once and for all. Winner: Eric Young
The Latin American Xchange vs. The Voodoo Kin Mafia LAX is still pretty over, despite their fall from near-main event level after losing the tag titles. Even after losing Konan, they're still popular. Which, of course, means they're jobbing right the hell out to VKM. Winners: VKM
“Wildcat” Chris Harris vs. The Debut of Dustin Rhodes’ “Black Reign” Oh yeah, Dustin's in TNA now. Did anyone else really take notice? Yeah, me neither. Harris is a popular up and coming star, and Dustin used to work for WWE. Do the math. Winner: Dustin Rhodes.
The Motor City Machineguns vs. Triple X vs. “The Guru” Sonjay Dutt & “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal This has the potential to be a great match, which means it'll get about 4 minutes. I'm going with Triple X on this one. Winners: Triple X

WINNER TAKES ALL – EVERY TITLE ON THE LINE Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle vs. “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe
Winner: Kurt Angle (If Joe's contract is indeed running out soon as rumored, giving him the win here would be dumb. Though, I hope the outcome is Joe winning. I have enjoyed egomaniac goofy Angle again however)
DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD Sting, Abyss & “The Punisher” Andrew Martin vs. “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles & Tomko
Winner: Christian's Coalition TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH The Steiner Brothers vs. Team 3D
Winners: Team 3D
BARROOM BRAWL “The War Machine” Rhino vs. “Cowboy” James Storm
Winner: James Storm
HUMILIATION MATCH Eric Young vs. Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks
Winner: Eric Young
The Latin American Xchange vs. The Voodoo Kin Mafia
Winners: LAX

Angle's going to win because Antonio Inoki will never allow TNA to change one of his belts. Team 3D will win so they can challenge for the belts Sting, Abyss & Martin will win because TNA won't have a heel vs heel No Surrender Main Event Rhino will win b/c James Storm won last month EY will win b/c Roode got the upper hand 2 weeks ago Kaz will win b/c Raven pinned him on Impact Triple X will win b/c they are the "new person/team who gets an immediate push" Black Reign will win b/c this feud will last longer then one month and TNA always has the heel win first. LAX will win b/c Homicide got pinned on Impact

I'm on a 95% whim right now after the mindf*** that was iMPACT that i'm going to stop giving a damn after this PPV. But we'll see.
WINNER TAKES ALL – EVERY TITLE ON THE LINE Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle vs. “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe Opinion: Joe should win. Hell, I want Joe to win...even if he does though, it's gonna be like RVD's title win. But, I can see this coming from a mile away. Russo is like a cocaine addicted baby when he's near the "SWERVE" button. Winner: Kurt Angle
DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD Sting, Abyss & “The Punisher” Andrew Martin vs. “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles & Tomko Opinion: First off, Banderas is coming this Sunday to take Abyss out of this match. Which leaves Testicles and Sting. They're going to fight off the odds, until....SWERVE AGAIN! Yeah, i'm with everybody, just pull the switch already. Winner: Christian Coalition (Christian gets the pin) TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH The Steiner Brothers vs. Team 3D Opinion: The guy carrying this match should win. Winners: Scott Steiner
BARROOM BRAWL “The War Machine” Rhino vs. “Cowboy” James Storm Rhino IS a jobber. TRUE. But everybody needs a payback win. Winner: Rhino
HUMILIATION MATCH Eric Young vs. Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks END THE FEUD! Winner: Eric Young....and the fans for Ms. Brooks
The Latin American Xchange vs. The Voodoo Kin Mafia LAX is still pretty over, despite their fall from near-main event level after losing the tag titles. Even after losing Konnan, they're still popular. Which, of course, means they're jobbing right the hell out to VKM. Here's hoping Homicide was one of the guys who wanted out. Think we should start a FREE HOMICIDE! rally a'la Austin Aries. Winners: VKM
“Wildcat” Chris Harris vs. The Debut of Dustin Rhodes’ “Black Reign” Oh yeah, Dustin's in TNA now. Did anyone else really take notice? Yeah, me neither. Harris is a popular up and coming star, and Dustin used to work for WWE. Do the math. Winner: Dustin Rhodes.
The Motor City Machineguns vs. Triple X vs. “The Guru” Sonjay Dutt & “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal Dutt and Lethal in this match ruined it for me. Simple as that. Winners: MCMG.

Here's the fun for me.
There is an indy show tomorrow night.
They are advertising that "TNA's Ms. Brooks" will be there.
The bell time IS 5:00PM, but I doubt she'd be taking an immediate flight to the show because West Virginia is bit a time from Florida.
I wonder how this will turn out...

I saw the Road to Hard Justice earlier. The end made Kurt look like a face again. He was putting over Joe, talking about how it will be match of the decade. Then you have Joe just talking smack. I'm not sure who the heel is anymore.
