BOUNTY MATCH
Abyss vs. Jethro Holliday
Abyss, decisively. Unless there's a new debut run-in, but I doubt it.
MATCH FOR THE WORLD TITLE SHOT BRIEFCASE
Hernandez vs. Big Rob of The British Invasion
Hernandez, easily. I don't expect this to be any good. Quezzy implied that he thought it might be fun; I'd really like to hear about that, dude.
NEW JAPAN IWGP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions The British Invasion vs. Beer Money, Inc
The Brits retain; I expect to see the World Elite make their presence known here.
THE RETURN OF THE STEEL ASYLUM MATCH
Suicide vs. Chris Sabin vs. Amazing Red vs. Alex Shelley vs. Black Machismo vs. Daniels vs. Consequences Creed
This is tough -- I think they said on Impact that "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero -- Elijah Burke, as Quezzy pointed out -- would be in this match, too. Is this a #1 Contender's match? I think it'll be either Dinero or Suicide. I'll say Dinero, but if I misheard and he's not in this match after all, I'll say Suicide.
TNA KNOCKOUT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Angelina Love vs. ODB w/ Cody Deaner
Again, I thought they said something on Impact about this being a tag team match, which would tempt me to pick Deaner. Hopefully I am confused. Well, I'll pick ODB, I think, who will transition it over to Traci Brooks.
TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Homicide vs. Samoa Joe w/ Taz
Joe. Hopefully they give this some time.
TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions Booker T & Scott Steiner vs. Team 3D
Booker & Steiner.
TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Mick Foley vs. Kevin Nash
I expect this to be the second-worst match of the year, so anything other than that will be a pleasant surprise. Foley retains for now.
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Matt Morgan
I am tempted to say Morgan. But I think that Angle retains, probably with a Samoa Joe-style swerve from Morgan after all.

Hernandez over Rob Terry.
Brits over Beer Money.
Daniels wins the Steel Asylum match.
Angelina over ODB.
Joe over Homicide, leading to Joe/Daniels at whatever the next PPV is called.
Team 3D over Booker and Steiner.
Foley over Nash.
Sting wins the belt. Ending: Morgan hits Carbon Footprint on Angle after refusing to let Angle pin Sting. AJ Styles comes down to distract/attack Morgan. Sting pins Angle.

BOUNTY MATCH
Abyss vs. Jethro Holliday
Abyss. I expect Stevie shenigans through out the match maybe even some Daffney/Taylor interaction, but I doubt it.
MATCH FOR THE WORLD TITLE SHOT BRIEFCASE
Hernandez. He is on a major push and even TNA isn't as blind as Vince with guys with big muscles and no talent.
NEW JAPAN IWGP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions The British Invasion vs. Beer Money, Inc
British Invasion. I do expect World Elite to get involved as well.
THE RETURN OF THE STEEL ASYLUM MATCH
Daniels. Its an outside pick, but him vs Joe for the X-title for a few months would be awesome.
TNA KNOCKOUT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
I think it has been changed to tag, so I will say Velvet Sky which will lead to tension in the BFP. A little surprised Kong/Tara didn't make it in to the PPV,
TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Joe. He needs a big win to help validate his turn. It is a major step down to where he should be.
TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Team 3D. Not all the heels should win or keep titles or at least they shouldn't win.
TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Mick Foley vs. Kevin Nash
Foley is the best representative for this belt.
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Matt Morgan
Kurt wins thanks to Morgan keeping Sting in place. It leads to Sting's retirement match at Bound for Glory. I expect this to be the worst match of the night.
I do have a feeling that AJ may find a way into the asylum match though. | Alex

BOUNTY MATCH
Abyss vs. Jethro Holliday
Jethro wins, after interference from Dr. Stevie.
MATCH FOR THE WORLD TITLE SHOT BRIEFCASE
Hernandez vs. Big Rob of The British Invasion
Hernandez, easily.
NEW JAPAN IWGP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions The British Invasion vs. Beer Money, Inc
I can't see them irritating NJPW with another unauthorized title change, so British Invasion wins.
THE RETURN OF THE STEEL ASYLUM MATCH
Suicide vs. Chris Sabin vs. Amazing Red vs. Alex Shelley vs. Black Machismo vs. Daniels vs. Consequences Creed
Calling this one for the Pope.
TNA KNOCKOUT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Angelina Love vs. ODB w/ Cody Deaner
I think this is a tag team match, which worries me, because it'd just be HILARIOUS if Cody Deaner won the Knockouts title. But I think they'll have some god damned sense and keep it on Love.
TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Homicide vs. Samoa Joe w/ Taz
Samoa Joe.
TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champions Booker T & Scott Steiner vs. Team 3D
I think Booker T and Scott Steiner will hang on here.
TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Mick Foley vs. Kevin Nash
Nash. They've just GOT to give the MEM every title, of course.
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Matt Morgan
I don't think this match is happening, what with Angle being in jail and all. They'll probably end up doing some big match for the vacant title, or something like that. | Peter The Hegemon

| #5 Posted on 15.8.09 1623.20 | Instant Rating: 7.03 | Abyss. If there's a run-in, it will be afterwards.
Hernandez. I fear his push will get the short-circuit at some point, but it won't be Rob Terry who stops it.
The IWGP title match is tough to call; New Japan first disavowed the title change to the Brits, then aquiesced. Maybe TNA agreed to move it elsewhere--then again, maybe they don't want the title to move. I'll go with Beer Money.
The former Elijah Burke--TNA likes to debut WWE refugees that way.
I saw something about the Knockouts title being up in a tag match, and why have Cody Deaner in a women's title match if not to have him win? But I will hope against hope that they won't do something that stupid, and predict that Angelina will retain.
And, yeah, I think they're going to go for the "Horsemen have all the belts" angle. Joe, Booker & Steiner, Nash, Angle. Ugh.
EDIT: OK, I typed the above before I saw that Angle had been arrested. No reason to do that angle now. I'm going to say Joe, Booker & Steiner, Foley, and Sting now.
There's been talk that Russo is out, we know Scott D'Amore is coming back, and now Angle's position is in serious question. This could end up being a really, really weird PPV where everything gets changed around. My guess is that they won't make any decisions that quickly, and the real fallout will come later, but it raises interesting possibilities, which is more than I can say for the booking.

| #6 Posted on 15.8.09 1643.30 | Instant Rating: 8.00 | Well, with Angle's arrest, who knows what will happen. If they don't kick him out of the company (which would be my gut reaction) they should at least get the belt off him.
(What wil probably happen: Angle keeps the belt and Rhaka Khan gets fired.)
If it was up to me, I would have Jim Cornette come out and announce that they've stripped the belt off of Angle, and that the match is between Sting, Morgan, and AJ Styles for the now-vacant title.
This is one of those times where I'm glad not to be in the booker's shoes.

MATCH FOR THE WORLD TITLE SHOT BRIEFCASE
Hernandez vs. Big Rob of The British Invasion
Hernandez, easily. I don't expect this to be any good. Quezzy implied that he thought it might be fun; I'd really like to hear about that, dude.
Because I like to see Hernandez beat people up? I don't know, I've never seen Rob Terry wrestle on his own so I don't know what to expect.
I too heard that the women's match would be a tag match with the winner getting the title. As Peter said, why have Deaner in there unless he is going to win it? I'm hoping maybe this was Russo's idea and D'Amore returning turned it back into a singles match because the women's division is way too good to have a joke champion.
I'm not clear if the X Division match is a number one contender either. If it is for the #1 contender then I think lotjx is right. Daniels vs. Joe makes sense in the main story. If #1 contender is not on the line then I say Suicide.
Winners:
Abyss
Hernandez
British Invasion
Daniels/Suicide
Love
Joe
Team 3D
Foley
AJ Styles - Yeah it's a long shot but this whole situation in TNA reminds me of when WCW suprisingly put the title on Booker so maybe they'll surprise us.
