imo RVD vs Angle should headline BFG, nothing else Pope/Anderson Title match. This is what it should have been. What would have been your top heel vs you're top face, While RVD/Angle will be great, it's been done. Angle should be up against Hardy or facing Joe (and losing to him) in his last match at beating the top 10 rankers.

I wonder if they'll count the WWECW guys as ECW wrestlers.
Like Angle, Burke etc

Will Super Crazy or Nova show up I wonder? How about Mikey Whipwreck? Hell Steve Austin was in ECW for a bit, how bout him? Whatever the case I'll probably actually get this PPV just to see what they can do.

From the current angles I say. (All matches with no stip are No DQ)
Main Event: TNA World Title (Jerry Lynn makes appearance) Abyss vs. RVD
Pre Main Event: Six Sides of Steel for the TNA Tag Titles Beer Money vs. MCMG
Tag Team Tables Match Brother Ray & Brother Runt vs. Brother Devon & Jessie Neal
Sabu (w/ Bill Alfonso) vs. Rhino (ECW ONS rematch)
Raven & Stevie Richards vs. Tommy Dreamer & Sandman

Tajiri would've been a real boon, a bona fide ECW guy that can still work good matches, so that is a shame.

They should have Kimona Wannalaya come out to strip and make out with Christy Hemme.

What about BWO? That is always a fun group to see.
Are there any other stars that weren't the obvious ECW guys that would be a cool addition to the show?
Psicosis? La Parka? Juvi? Chris Chetti? Perry Saturn? Tommy Rogers?

^ A bwo vs fbi could be a good opener I bet Tracy Smothers can still go. Throw in a run in by JBL on the blue meanie

Whose going to call the PPV, Tenay isn't exactly ECW lol Honestly, I'd love to see the use a team of Borash and Taz. Borash is a good commentator and put together and ran the Forever Hardcore/Hardcore Homecoming shows.

I want to be looking forward to this show but I just can't.
My reasons: - TNA is doing it - they just tend to fail on everything - Tommy Dreamer is in charge - yes he played a crucial part of ECW backstage but I am doubting him on this - Most of ECW's guys were in/past there prime back when the company was still open - that was 10 years ago......not to mention most won't even do the show - Alot of the guys who mattered are either dead or won't do the show because they are too broken down - ONS 05 was the last hurrah. Same with the Hardcore Homecoming shows. - They can't even say ECW because Vince McMahon owns it
Everything is working against them. They get 2 hrs of tv a week....that is not enough time to build up your normal storylines and also push a ppv that has nothing to do with your weekly tv. I liked original ECW....but it's time to let it die.

So far I've heard:
Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven Brother Devon vs. Brother Ray

Van Dam/Lynn seems a given, but as far as 'acknowledged on TV or the official website' booked, not a thing.
Anyone got card ideas? I'd go with this(parts are unrealistic/unlikely, but hey)...
Sabu .V. Justin Credible... just have it be a Sabu showcase style match(not quite a squash, though), lasting 7 minutes or so.
Little Guido with Big Sal, Tracy Smothers and Tony Mamaluke .V. Kid Kash .V. 2 Cold Scorpio.... the kinda cruiserweight match that usually filled out the ECW midcard in 1999-2000. Kash and Scorpio had a good match at Hardcore Homecoming in 2005(although a slow one, due to the heat in the building), and Kash and Guido always click.
Masato Tanaka .V. Steve Corino.... Not that either of these have history together in ECW, but they've wrestled a lot in Zero-One and are close friends, plus Corino can make any match interesting with just one promo.
Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten .V. The Dudleys... Just the usual kinda crazy match these guys had in 1999, with cheesegraters, flaming tables etc. Have New Jack and Spike Dudley get involved towards the end.
Danny Doring and Chris Chetti .V. Simon and Swinger with Dawn Marie, Prodigy and the Muskateer... Throwaway match, ends quickly when Rhino comes in and destroys everyone then cuts an old school-style promo, hyping up his match later on.
Taka Michinoku, Great Sasuke and Dick Togo .V. Psicosis, Juvi and Antifaz del Norte... Japan .V. Mexico, and kinda along the same lines as the Japanese 6 man at Barely Legal. It'd be something different for an ECW reunion show, at least, and up the 'workrate' level of the show.
Dreamer with Beulah, Sandman and Nova .V. Raven, Stevie and Rhino... Random, but let me explain my thinking. Dreamer and Raven is obvious, and there's the Sandman/Rhino feud of 2000 that never got a satisfactory ending... you could have Lori Fullington and Sandman's son get involved here. As for Nova, well towards the end of ECW, he was set for a huge push, debuting a new look and more intense character. He also still works hard as hell in the ring. Do some storyline through clips on the Hardcore Justice website where Nova defies Raven's Nest to make a name for himself. These ECW reunion shows always lack good storylines, something like this would be welcome imo.
RVD .V. Jerry Lynn... No real explanation needed.
And yeah, I just spent way too much time thinking about and typing that, I now realise.

Let's get some good, ol' ECW Vixens on this show. We could have Jazz return and have a match with Madison Rayne. Or a catfight between Beulah and Francine, or they could team up and take on TBP. However, if Jazz isn't on this PPV, I'll be upset.

From Dixie: We will announce the first group of guys appearing on HardCORE Justice on www.tnawrestling.com right after iMPACT! on Thursday night. I talked to a few of the guys today. Everyone is really excited.
