TNA Says:
Also, Thursday’s IMPACT will feature more news on the special August 15 “Hardcore Justice” edition of IMPACT on SPIKE, featuring the big Steel Cage World Heavyweight Championship rematch with Chris Sabin vs. Bully Ray!
Best Case Scenario: At least one other “big” match for Hardcore Justice is announced besides Bully Ray’s steel cage rematch. Also, the concept for Hardcore Justice is more fully explained (Is it all “hardcore” matches? Will deserving stars get “justice?”) so that it seems like something special to look forward to – not just another edition of Impact.
Worst Case Scenario: EV 2.0 emerges from the back to announce that they are back in TNA and they’re taking over. After August 15, Stevie Richards is TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Tommy Dreamer and the Sandman are Tag Team Champions and Raven is X Division Champion. Everybody throws up at once.
Dave Says: I don’t typically talk about TV ratings, but this seems like a blatant attempt to try and recreate Destination X’s modest ratings success with only a few weeks’ planning time. Does this represent TNA going back to the storytelling shortcuts of the monthly pay per view era?
