TNA Turning Point Predictions

I thought that for once I would try to take a crack at predicting the results for this weekend's TNA Turning Point PPV. I'll admit that I don't really have a clue as to exactly what's going on in TNA other than the blurbs that I read online and they little bit of TV that I saw a while ago. David will not be doing predictions for this PPV.

Pre-Show Match
Lance Hoyt and Ron Killings vs. The Serotonin
I think that I have heard of who makes up The Serotonin, but I forget. As for Hoyt and Killings I only really know about Killings from his WWE days and that's it. I've seen Hoyt's action figures at the store and that's all I know about him. I'll pick The Serotonin to pick up the win.

Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
A lot of people consider these 2 to be the top wrestlers in not only TNA, but wrestling in general. I'm sure TNA wants to believe the same thing and thinks that this could be a major feud. Therefore, since Angle won their first meeting, Joe will win this one and force a 3rd match.

Rhino vs. A.J. Styles
If I recall corretly, Styles has some unexplained grudge against Rhino (storyline-wise). Perhaps the reason will come to light at the PPV. I'll pick Styles to win.

TNA X Division Championship - Special Referee (Jerry Lynn)
Christopher Daniels (c) vs. Chris Sabin
I agree with a lot of people when they describe X Division matches as 'spotfests'. They often seem to be little more than just big spots and very little actual wrestling. It has at time seemed like the wrestlers are trying to show each other how big of a bump they can take. My pick is for Daniels to retain. I really wish that Daniels would once again become CurryMan.

Bikini contest
Ms. Brooks vs. Eric Young
Assuming that the fans decide the winner by applause I'm going to say that Young wins as a goof.

Flag Match
America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris) vs. Latin American Exchange (Homicide and Hernandez (w/ Konnan)
I don't have a clue what a Flag Match is. Yeah, I could look it up, but I don't really care what it is. I have made no secret about my dislike of Konnan. On that basis alone I am leanign towards picking AMW to win, but I'll have to go with LAX. IF I recall there is a Canadian guy (Petey Williams) that is backing the Americans, AMW. I'm sure that he will turn on AMW and perhaps cost them the match. I'm not sure if it's already part of the storyline, but Konnan needs a hip replacement and is planning on getting it real soon, so I'm looking for an angle to explain it.

Paparazzi Championship Series
Alex Shelley vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Austin Starr vs. Senshi vs. Jay Lethal
Alex Shelley is one of my top wrestlers in TNA from the tiny bit that I have seen. He seems to be from the same mold as Chris Jericho. I'll pick him to win.

Triple Threat match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Abyss (w/James Mitchell) (c) vs. Sting vs. Christian Cage (w/Tomko)
Abyss doesn't have the look of a champion. Because of that I am picking him to lose the title. I would like to see Cage regain the belt, but I'll go with Abyss to retain.
