TNA Hard Justice 2007 Predictions

First off, I really don't care about anything that happens at this PPV or in TNA for that matter. I'll try to be as brief and painless as possible.

Bar Room Brawl
James Storm vs. Rhino
I Say: I don't care. You think I care? Well, I don't. I'll go with Rhino.
Dave Says: Storm.

Humiliation Match
Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks) vs. Eric Young
I Say: I'll pick Young to once again get over on Roode. No matter who wins I am sure that the humiliation will be having to dress up in some rediculous costume. Either that or the loser will have to re-sign with TNA or watch a video of their own matches. How humiliating!
Dave Says: Eric Young.

Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal vs. The Motor City Machineguns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) (w/Kevin Nash) vs. Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Senshi and Elix Skipper)
I Say: Is this a 2 on 2 on 3 match? I'll go with the 3 and say Triple X wins. Besides that they have more members, Triple X also happens to be one of my favorite types of movie.
Dave Says: Triple X

Raven vs. Kaz
I Say: I'll guess and say Kaz.
Dave Says: No pick. Match wasn't announced when Dave made his predictions.

Chris Harris vs. Dustin Rhodes
I Say: I am curious to see how much of a rip off of Goldust Dustin's rumored new character, Black Reign, will be. Dustin is my pick. Is it possible that Rhodes could show up to the PPV in blackface? I'm pretty sure that like everything else in TNA, Dustin's new gimmick will be drawn out over 3 or 4 months with the gimmick evolving over that time period to a very unwatchable ending. One last thing - Was the origin of this feud ever get explained?
Dave Says: No pick. Match wasn't announced when Dave made his predictions.

The Latin American Exchange (Homicide and Hernandez) vs. The Voodoo Kin Mafia (B.G. James and Kip James) (w/Roxy Laveaux)
I Say: I have no clue. I'll say LAX wins. Christy Hemme and that guy I think she's still managing (Lance Hoyt?) will cause VKM to lose. BTW, that Roxy girl's gimmick looks to be a rip-off of Boogeyman's. She stole his whole trance/convulsion gimmick. Yeah, I know that Papa Shango did the same thing too, but he was WWE as Boogeyman is so it's not a rip-off.
Dave Says: VKM

Doomsday Chamber of Blood Match
Abyss, Andrew Martin and Sting vs. Christian's Coalition (Christian Cage, A.J. Styles and Tomko)
I Say: What the hell is up with all of these stupid gimmick matches in TNA. It seems like there's a new kind of gimmick match introduced at each PPV. It's not only that though. There are so many sub-stipulations to the damn matches that it's impossible to understand. In all fairness, the WWE does introduce new matches too, but not nearly as often as TNA. My pick for this match is Christian's Coalition due to interference from James Mitchell's new monster going after Abyss.
Dave Says: Christian's Coalition (Christ, what a name)

Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) vs. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott)
I Say: Since I have never been a big fan of the Steiners so I will pick Team 3D. That's not to say that I am a big fan of Team 3D at this point though. I expect the Steiners to wrestle as poor as ever. The Steiners could win drawing out the feud I am going with 3D anyways.
Dave Says: Steiners

TNA World Heavyweight and IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. TNA X Division and TNA World Tag Team Champion Samoa Joe
All 4 championships are on the line.
I Say: TNA is killing Kurt Angle. They are making him look like a total fool. He's becoming a joke at this point. I don't care if the whole gimmick is Angle's idea. Jarrett and TNA management have been around the business much too long to allow it to get to this ridiculous point. The whole thing with him running around backstage in his underwear is just plain stupid. I'm not going to get into it all right now, but just know that it's really stupid what they are doing to Angle. The only thing redeeming about the whole angle is Nash's involvement. He's pretty funny and is entertaining. As for this match I think that Angle's wife will turn on Samoa Joe and help Kurt win. Even if she doesn't turn on Joe I think that Angle will still win. Angle will then have all 4 titles.
Dave Says: Angle

Total
I Say: Rhino, Eric Young, Triple X, Kaz, Dustin, LAX, Christian's Coalition, Team 3D, & Kurt Angle.
Dave Says: Storm, Young, Triple X, VKM, Christian's Coalition, Steiners, & Angle

Final Thoughts: Nothing major here, but I just wanted to say how stupid it is for TNA to bring in Pacman Jones. It's just a ploy to get attention from the media. Sure, it will happen at first, but then everyone, including the fans, will quickly lose interest. Jones is reportedly will focus on tag team wrestling which will likely mean that Jones will see very limited, if any, in-ring action. Sure, the WWE get's celebrities, but at least they get legit big names like Trump and Tyson. TNA gets people like Pacman Jones, A.J. Pierzinski (sic), and Dale Torborg.
