Shelley vs. Moose should be a fun one as I'm more familiar of his in-ring work compared to many others in TNA. The size difference makes it very interesting
Love Jordynne Grace! Looking forward to see her kick Trinity's ass! (I've had a long-time beef against her ever since she beat Liv at RAW in quick fashion right after Liv's big W against Sasha at SmackDown, LOL *okay* I forgive!)

Tessa Blanchard vs. Sami Callihan at Hard to Kill '20 (such a long time ago...) AND Pentagon Jr. becoming World Champion (any f***ing idea why they reverted back to Austin Aries so quickly?) is one of my last memories of Impact Wrestling before Alex Shelley became their World Champion. That's the previous time I was THIS excited about TNA. (Okay, Christian Cage's shortly lived return was epic!) ~ The name change helped a ton too. ~ I hope we see a debut/comeback or two in this PLE.

That's the previous time I was THIS excited about TNA. (Okay, Christian Cage's shortly lived return was epic!) ~ The name change helped a ton too. ~ I hope we see a debut/comeback or two in this PLE. Pentagon only won because they wanted to treat the fans after they had to switch the main event due to Alberto Del Rio being Alberto Del Rio. He was never in the plans. He probably wasn’t even under a deal at the time other than having been brought in for the weekend show/tapings. It was his first official match in the company…after an Impact vs Lucha Underground show earlier in the month on Mania weekend. He won a threeway against Ares and Fenix on that show so booking it again for the belt made sense as an alternative when Del Rio flaked. It’s probably why they gave him the first win…to make it a credible rematch for the belt. That first threeway only happened because Del Rio flaked on a tag match anyway. But it did lead to him and Fenix joining the company full time and kicking ass for a year or whatever it was. And it’s kind of cool that Pentagon won that title on the resume. He even managed to fit in a successful defense of the title against Eli Drake (LA Knight) |

Sabin vs Kushida vs Vikingo is going to be amazing, it’s the most decorated champion in X division history vs the long time junior Ace of New Japan vs the best luchadore in Mexico today. Pretty amazing resumes brought to the table honestly

I'm calling the team of Shelley, Sabin, and Okada the Motor City Rainmakers and no one can stop me.

TNA's been doing a "30 Days of TNA Wrestling" Countdown, leading up to Hard To Kill! Here's what they've put up, so far

Don’t even know where to start unpacking this one. One of the biggest signings in TNA history is a surprisingly high bar, I have no idea who it could be. Before I saw the quote about the signing I wondered if they’d pulled another deal with WWE to let like…Trinity work the Rumble in exchange for something. Kicking off the new return to TNA with an AJ Styles appearance for example. The timing of the Rumble and this show…Vince being out of the day to day and her husband working there…I could see the appeal from both sides for a surprise pop…and it would be a big one. I know WWE doing that stuff is rare…but they have done it with D’Amore before. There’s also always the chance that they had worked out a new storyline with Tony. For all the things I don’t like about Tony’s booking at this point he’s always been open to things he thinks are fun or interesting. Couldn’t begin to tell you what it would be just thought it was interesting that Ospreay is working Snake Eyes after his signing announcement. I know he is fulfilling NJPW dates since he is still under their deal…but given NJPW partners with AEW too and helped facilitate his signing there by letting him have contract talks early (so they could hype All In tickets, really) I don’t think he’d be working this show if Tony really wanted him not to. Of course that’s as simple as Will wanting to do it and Tony isn’t going to stand in the way. Hell…he let Kazarian work months in Impact while under contract in AEW. But if it’s attached to a signing it gets harder to even guess at. We know they were in the mix for Punk and Ospreay which means they were willing to spend up on a top name. They can’t compete with the number Ospreay got from AEW. If WWE hadn’t changed course as regards to Punk…they honestly probably would have gotten him. But you need to find a big name who doesn’t want to work in WWE or AEW. Someone who would like a nice payday but really love the schedule. That schedule is the thing they have that no one else does. There might be a name or two out there. The first everyone would bring up is Mercedes. Again, things have changed within WWE enough to make you wonder if she wouldn’t go back. But the report was out there that any plans AEW was making for her are no longer the plans. Obviously one of her best friends works there. I don’t know for how long…but she’s there now. The other is Rousey. Stay at home mom who started taking random indie dates to work with her friend and even popped up on ROH once. Easier to be that stay at home mom when you can take a weekend a month to do TNA and have the rest off. Can get her friend a job, some nice money and a lot of time off. And Scott is always going to book the women’s division strong. Like I said…I don’t even know where to start trying to crack it. What does world’s collide mean if it’s signing even a giant name? It’s a strong piece of hype…I just hope they have something good to pay it off. |

Scott D'Amore has a great rapport with a lot of people in the industry so you never know. Could be someone in WWE or AEW with TNA history like AJ, Joe, Jarrett, or Daniels. Could be Mercedes. Could be a special appearance by Kurt Angle.

If it wasn't a signing. Imagine here hearing Trips music hit.
As for a signing. It has to be imo Okada or Mercedes. No one would be a bigger or biggest signing ever right now imo unless someone is a sneaky free agent right now.
Cause right off the bat at some other names
Ziggler, lol no
Ali, come on now
Ronda, really?

I think it is gonna be Ronda...the schedule works for her...they tape in big blocks so that gives her alot of time to be Mommy Rousey untill they tape again.
And no way it is Mercedes or Okada because there is no way WWE or AEW is getting outbid by TNA for them.

And no way it is Mercedes or Okada because there is no way WWE or AEW is getting outbid by TNA for them. Anthem is apparently willing to spend big money for a top name free agent. Between that and Scott hyping it up as the biggest signing in company history, I think Mercedes or Ronda are definitely in the realm of possibility. |
