TNA Bound For Glory 2007 Predictions

Here are my predictions for TNA's answer to Wrestlemania - Bound For Glory. I really have zero interest in this PPV, but have decided to post my predictions anyways. Although I made perfect picks for last week's No Mercy WWE PPV (As did Dave) I couldn't care less if I did the opposite for this PPV and got all of the matches wrong. It looks like Dave will not be contributing picks this time. I sent him the match listing, but I never received his picks back. Maybe he wants to leave on a high note and let his perfect pciks for No Mercy be his legacy. If I get them between now and the PPV I will try to post them.

TNA World Tag Team Championship
Team Pacman (Adam Jones and Ron Killings) (c) vs. Christian's Coalition (A.J. Styles and Tomko)
I Say:
Can you hear the echo? I predict that Team Pacman will be in the b*tch with the terror. They'll have a hand full of stack so you better grab an umbrella (Those familiar with the song 'Make It Rain' by Fat Joe and Pacman's activities during this year's NBA All-Star Game weekend will get the reference). Seriously, this is a handicap match. It's basically Christian's Coalition vs. Ron Killings. Sure, Pacman may get tagged in, but he won't be taking any bumps or sending any significant time in the ring. I get the feeling that Killings and Pacman will remain champs for a little longer so I am picking Team Pacman to win.

Christian Cage vs. Samoa Joe w/Matt Morgan as Special Enforcer
I Say:
Samoa Joe will win.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Sting
I Say:
I couldn't care less. Hmmm...I'll say Sting wins.

Ultimate X match - Winners receive a future shot for the TNA World Tag Team Championship
The Latin American Exchange (Homicide and Hernandez) vs. Triple X (Senshi and Elix Skipper)
I Say:
Triple X will win since the Ultimate X match is probably their specialty.

Ten Knockout Gauntlet battle royal to crown the first TNA Women's World Champion
Participants - Christy Hemme, Gail Kim, Ms. Brooks, Jackie Moore, Roxxy Laveaux, Shelly Martinez, O.D.B., Angel Williams, Talia Madison, Amazing Kong.
I Say:
Aren't all of these women pretty much WWE rejects? Well except for Ms. Brooks, Roxxy, and Kong. I actually think that at least one of these women (O.D.B.) is still affiliated with the WWE and their developmental system. Kong's size obvioulsy makes her the favorite as far as hype so she definitely won't be winning. Alos, I don't see TNA giving the belt to a newcomer, so I am picking Gail Kim. I don't know why though.

TNA X Division Championship
Jay Lethal (c) vs. Christopher Daniels
I Say:
Lethal's novelty value is pretty much gone. Daniels is my pick.

Two out of Three Falls Tables match
Team 3D vs. The Steiner Brothers
I Say:
Team 3D

16 Man Fight for the Right Battle Royal - Winner receives a future shot for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Robert Roode, James Storm, B.G. James, Kip James, Lance Hoyt, Jimmy Rave, Chris Harris, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Kaz, Eric Young, Petey Williams, Junior Fatu
I Say:
I am assuming that TNA bookers have enough brains to have the winner of this match actually have a serious chance of becoming the TNA Champion. Unfortunately, that's not possible since none of these guys are World Championship quality. At least not the kind that the fans would take seriously. I'll pick Roode.

Monster's Ball match
Raven vs. Rhino vs. Abyss vs. Black Reign
I Say:
Intersting fact - Abyss and/or Raven have been in every other MB match in TNA history and neither of them has ever won it. For that reason I am not going to pick them. I will pick Rhino.

Summary
Team Pacman, Samoa Joe, Sting, Triple X, Gail Kim, Daniels, Team 3D, Robert Roode, & Rhino.
