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. [Insert Vince Russo Joke Here] Anyway, this whole thing is proof that "some" people don't believe that talented wrestling sells itself. The first Joe/Angle...the rushed Joe/Angle...brought TNA it's highest buyrate...ever. 75,000. What was the story? Two men wrestling. Then, to keep the story going, TNA started throwing things into the "feud." Next thing you know, Kurt Angle is putting Joe's girlfriend into an ankle lock. Buyrates went down. Now, I understand that there was a "curiousity" factor and the not all of the people who bought the PPV would be back, but there was a recent report that TNA's Last PPV got 15,000 buys. Around what they got when they were a "PPV Only" promotion. Somebody screwed up something. I'm not going to lay blame (yes, even with the Russo comment at the beginning) but TNA needs to take a step back and look at their product a little closer. ... Where did this rant come from? I just woke up! I shouldn't be this "ranty" in the morning!

Or, it could be how everyone under the sun had a wrestling PPV at the time. WWE, UFC, ROH...
Not saying it's the main reason, but that should be some kind of consideration....

I hope the PPV lives up to it's name and Sid debuts at the end with an erection in his tights.
...I hope this happens because I won't be ordering it.

If I were to order it'd be my first since Lockdown...an that was my first since Bound For Glory, but I'm not really too sure about this one at all

Saved me $40 from alot of things...December to Dismember, the last 3 TNA PPV's, Wrestlemania 23 (which was the exception that it was good).

I bought every monthly TNA ppv from Victory Road 04 through Against All Odds 07. I was getting fed up with the ppv shows and when I learned that the matches at Destination X were gonna be repeated at Lockdown, I didn't buy that one. I bought Lockdown and that was my last one.

I figure Test will turn on Abyss and Sting and join up with Cage. If not at the PPV, then sometime afterwards. Then Tomko will probably branch out into singles.

Last months' pay per view was actually very good, a lot of fun, but I'm really not feeling this one tonight.
I guess part of it is the ass backwards direction they've taken Joe/Angle (I didn't mind all the belts, but I DO mind the whole Angle family aspect of it), and they seem to be trying to stomp out their own momentum for some reason.

If there is a chat room for this PPV, I'll probably be in it.
However, I don't know if I'll watch the PPV or not. I didn't get to go to the indy show (Two people with $15 admission charge) so I could buy the PPV...but I just don't know.
It'll be a last minute thing, if I do.

I was on on the fence then i watched the Hard Justice thing on Spike and I thought they did a good job hyping Angle/Joe.
