Official TNA Hardcore Justice 2012 Thread
 

TNA has been putting forth a surprisingly good product lately, and this PPV looks quite interesting to me. I can't find a stream anywhere, but I thought I would make this thread so people have a place to discuss this, since there appears to be a bit more good will towards TNA lately. Here is the card:

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Bobby Roode vs. Austin Aries

BFG SERIES MATCH - WORTH 20 POINTS LADDER MATCH
AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle vs Christopher Daniels vs Samoa Joe

BFG SERIES MATCH - WORTH 20 POINTS TABLES MATCH
Jeff Hardy vs James Storm vs Bully Ray vs Robbie E

BFG SERIES MATCH - WORTH 20 POINTS FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
Mr. Anderson vs Rob Van Dam vs The Pope vs Magnus

KNOCKOUTS TITLE MATCH
Madison Rayne vs. Miss Tessmacher (champ)

Kid Kash and Gunner vs. Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez

X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH
Kenny King vs. Zema Ion (champ)

TELEVISION TITLE MATCH
Kazarian vs. Devon (champ)

any chance for a stream?

I checked for one and can't find one. :( Hopefully someone comes in for the save.

here's crossing fingers

Check your rep boys

much obliged

I got one, sending your way Noid and Krimzon. Hit me up too Wake Up Call if yours falls through.

Mine never goes out. Watch UFC WWE TNA, not once has it went down. Check your rep Heisenberg

Mine doesn't either, just like to hook ppl up just in case. I've been on many journeys the last years for a good site. :-)

Thanks, gentlemen. Good lord I am happy every time Heisenberg posts.

What was the first match?

I am becoming a fan of Heisenberg rapidly. Thank both of you gentlemen

Kenderson!

Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez vs. Kid Kash and Gunner was the opener, I think.

I hope Magnus wins this match. He'd get the most out of it. I'm predicting RVD wins it, though.

Chavo and Hernadez vs Kid Kash and Gunner was match 1

Ah ok, and now this BFG series match, not bad.

Also, RVD has been doing great work in this series. His psychology is spot-on -- something that a lot of people don't associate with RVD.

For a dude who is like 25, Magnus is fucking good.

Do RVD and The Pope exist anymore?

RVD doesn't give a shit!!!!!! Took Anderson out! Nice spot.

Oh, there's RVD.

I've decided I'd mark the fuck out if Pope came out of nowhere, completely refreshed and won this match.

WHERE'S THE POPE??!?!?!!?

I don't care how shitty the storylines are, TNA always has some great matches.

Pope got attacked by Aces and 8's before he made his entrance.

The storylines are getting better and better. There's even some good in the Daniels/AJ/Claire shit -- namely in Daniels being motivated by insecurity.

You called RVD

These matches are fun.

Pope being taken out makes sense, actually. Keeps the Aces and Eights thing going, and three guys work better than four would in this match.

RVD won, which is good for him. I wish they'd give him better theme music, though.

For all the shit he gets for not changing up his move-set, RVD's work in this BFG Series being rewarded with a spot in the top four makes me happy.

I don't mind the music. Gets the fans going.

I could totally see Samoa Joe being bumped from the top four and getting really pissed.

Oh, nice, they do traditional backstage interviews on their PPVs.

Madison Rayne is definitely a boner machine.

This should be fun.

Really love Christy Hemme as a ring announcer, and how the camera wants to have sex with her.

I really hope Kazarian wins here. The dude is a great worker and looks like a movie star. TNA should also try and get Lela Star to be his valet. :shifty:

Holy shit, how much weight has Dvon lost? He looks great

I like that TNA gave Devon the respect of having a decent singles title reign. I think it's time for a change, though.

BONER MACHINE.

Testify looks so much like testicle.

The dude is over, too.

saved that botch.

Devon winning this wouldn't be bad. People love the guy.

I'm still amazed at how 'well' that the Dudleys are doing on their own.

TNA have done a good job of letting them play characters they are comfortable with. Devon is a likeable chap and Bully Ray plays a natural asshole. I think both have felt something to prove as singles guys, too.

Also, say what you want, a Team 3D reunion down the track is going to be money for TNA.

GORE! GORE! GORE!

I used to love using the Dudley Death Drop in wrestling games.

There's a lot of praise for TNA coming from the forums lately. I gotta tell ya, This is my first time watching TNA in a long time. Gotta tell ya There's been some drastic improvement

Brother worked an entire match with a gold chain on.
Brothas be stylin'!!!

Devon is having an amazing reign as TV Champion. I still think Nick Dinsmore should come in and win the title from him, though. Bring in Dinsmore as Garett's cousin beating him up to make Uncle Eric proud.

Good match.

LOL, Earl Hebner.

I'd totally mark out if Earl Hebner screws Madison Rayne and is all "Bitch, I'm Earl Hebner and don't need you."

What do you think of this angle?

Earl has to keep his pimp hand strong. That would be amazing!!!!

I'd also love it if Dave Hebner pretended to be Earl and tried to get him some boner machine.

I miss Velvet Sky...

I don't mind this angle. Madison Rayne is using her sexuality as a heel to get what she wants. It has to be the senior official, because he has the power to assign himself to her matches, presumably. I also like it when referees get mentioned by name and are treated as individuals.

Here, here.

I think that Earl should probably screw Miss Tessmacher and her amazing ass here, with the pay-off of Brooke Hogan stopping Earl from assigning himself to her matches later.

It also wouldn't surprise me if this angle also leads to Earl losing his power -- he never refs the main events anymore -- Brian does that.

TNA needs to hire back Awesome Kong as soon as they can.

I really want Winter back, too. Would love to see her aligned with Doug Williams.

Orlando Screw Job takes on so many meanings right here.

That is an amazing post.

Madison Rayne is a great heel, and it'll be tremendous to see her fed to Kong.

Tessmacher has improved so much since the last time I saw here. Not bad for a women's match.

WWE should really give the Diva's more time too show what they can do

I would actually watch a sex tape between Madison Rayne and Earl Hebner, because I am fucking sick like that.

There is money in female wrestling. It just needs to be done right.

Gotta do my homework on this aces and eights

Bully Ray is great.

Aces and Eights could be the Nexus done right.

Sons of Anarchy/nWo flavored stable...I'll see them out, always love stables.

Robbie E is struggling in the standings haha

I actually quite enjoy Robbie E. as a background heel.

Since WWE can't really do it well, as Vince is reportedly really out of touch with pop-culture -- TNA could really capture some imaginations by channelling shows like Sons of Anarchy to really create "on the pulse" television.

This is an amazing acknowledgement.


I'd be pissed if Zack Light would get over before the real WWW Kid could.


How is Jeff Hardy still employed?

Sting's steaming the Joker right now?

Hardy's face paint is awesome.


SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!

I hate country music, but I'm down with Cowboy James Storm.

I've got to be honest -- I don't really care about James Storm as much as I feel I should. :-\

Jeff Hardy has reportedly transformed his entire act backstage. I hope so, because the dude has an undeniable connection with audiences.

I wondered that the same day, but YouTubed some of his ladder spots and remembered how bat-shit crazy he was.

Overlooking his legal troubles, he's great in-ring.

If this were an elimination rules, it would actually make total sense for all three guys to team up on James Storm and get him out early.

I miss the Beer MONAYYYY theme. Sorry bout your damn luck is still one of my favorite catch phrases.

Being a father has probably helped out Jeff Hardy tremendously. I never thought it would be Matt Hardy I'd be hoping gets his shit together.

lol at bully ray

I can't wait for Robbie to go nuts on Bully Ray in this match.

LMAO!!!!!! Table is broke!!

botch? Ray's in some pain.

Beautiful cover up there.

That was an awkward couple of seconds silence by everyone on that botch...

I wonder what would happen if two guys put one guy through a table?

what is that clusterfuck spot called?

That looked awkward...

I like that the Tower of Doom spot was teased earlier, and this match delivered it.

I'd assume lowest man on totem would win.


Tower of Doom, thanks Noid.

If I were a kayfabe referee, I would probably say that match would continue until there was a definitive winner.

Bigger Rob is great in his role.

They're not quite Shawn Michaels and Diesel, of course, but I like it when heels have muscle to help them out.

Robbie E. is being really slow in this match. Something is really off about his pacing.
