-Alex Shelley wins the Kevin Nash Open Invitational X Division Gauntlet Battle Royal at Bound For Glory: No reason, he's just the guy who could use the rub. -Team 3D def. America's Most Wanted, The Naturals and the James Gang -Eric Young def. Larry Zbyszko -Rhino def. Christian Cage -Samoa Joe def. Raven, Abyss & Brother Runt in Monster's Ball -TNA World X-Division Champion Senshi def. Chris Sabin -Homicide & Hernandez def. NWA World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels -NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett def. Sting [Schmozz involving Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle]
Shelley wins Invitational with Nash's help -- UNLESS this is where Austin Starr debuts, in which case Starr wins.
Tag Team 4-Way -- weird, since I don't know if either 3D or the Nats should be losing a match right now. Um. I'll say the Nats win, and we get 3D vs. Nats next month for the #1 contendership (while LAX defends against AMW?).
Eric Young beats Larry Zbyszko. (Hopefully) short and (hopefully) comedic.
Christian Cage beats Rhino by taking advantage of his "concussion."
Monster's Ball: Samoa Joe, obviously. At some point, Abyss chokeslams Runt from above the entrance tunnel, over the ramp, and to the floor, through a flaming thumbtack covered table.
Senshi beats Sabin; Jerry Lynn shakes his head in disappointment.
LAX beats Styles & Daniels.
Sting beats Jarrett for the title. Angle turns heel.

I generally suck at predictions, but what the hell....
Sting d. Jarrett Sabin d. Senshi Zybyzko d. Young (for shame; I'm growing to like Young) Rhino d. Christian Abyss wins the Monster Ball Kevin Nash wins the Invitational (he gets Shelley to lay down for him. SWERVE!!!) Daniels/Styles d. LAX Naturals win the four-way match.
Sting beats Jarrett LAX beats AJ/Daniels Joe beats Runt/Abyss/Raven Young beats Larry Z Naturals win the four-way Rhino beats Christian Senshi beats Sabin Austin Starr wins the Nash Invitational, to start a feud with Nash and Shelley
Scene: Mark DeRosa's brain. The year is 2005. Part of Mark DeRosa's brain: Come on, another position change? One day it's second base, the next day right field, now it's third? Why, I oughta go into Buck's office and throw his talking fish on the floor! Other part of Mark DeRosa's brain: Hold on, other part of the brain. We're making $500,000 this year. Last year we made $725,000. All for playing a damn kids' game. This is, as they say in Brainland, a no-"us"-er. We're not going to complain. Part of Mark DeRosa's brain: You're right, dude. Let's go back to looking at this crazy porn Teixeira gave us!
Here are some more thoughts from a demented mind in Central Florida: Pre-Show:
Bobby Roode vs. Lance Hoyt - Roode wins here, and unvails his new manager to be Ms. TNA Juggs herself, Traci.
PPV:
Kevin Nash Open Invitational X-Division Gauntlet Battle Royale Green Eggs and Ham Partridge in a Pear Tree - I'm guessing that Sabin and Senshi are excluded from this. So we should have some sort of win by either Alex Shelley or Jay Lethal.
Four Corners Tag Team Match - Team 3D vs. AMW vs. Naturals vs. James Gang - As much as TNA's pushed Team 3D, the Naturals look like complete bitches if they lose here. AMW and the James Gang still have unfinished business. Winner - the Naturals.
Loser Gets Fired - Eric Young vs. Larry Zbyszko - Eric Young is wayyyyy too over to lose here.
Monsters' Ball - Samoa Joe vs. Raven vs. Abyss vs. Runt - Joe needs to be kept strong for winning the NWA Title, and for facing one Kurt Angle. So Joe wins.
Street Fight - Christian Cage vs. Rhino - Christian's still unpinned in TNA. He could also be the huge heel that the company needs. It's Rhino's hometown, but I still think Christian gets the win here. He can feud with Sting if and when Sting wins the belt.
X Division Championship - Senshi (champ) vs. Chris Sabin - More Jackass b.s. Senshi's not having it, and despite looking like a ripped evil monkey, kicks Sabin's ass all over the ring to retaining the championship.
NWA World Tag Team Titles in the Six Sides of Steel - Daniels/Styles (champs) vs. LAX - hottest feud going in wrestling this year. They've yet to have a bad match with each other. However, Daniels and Styles retain when AMW comes out to somehow interfere/mess with LAX.
NWA World Heavyweight Title - Title vs. Career - Jeff Jarrett (champ) vs. Sting - Sting wins here. Otherwise, what's the point?
Why yes, I am both a musician and a lawyer. Thanks for asking. :)
Because I watched one show in six months, I feel I can accurately get every match right.
Kevin Nash wins the Invitational under a mask.
AMW wins the four way, leading to the feud with LAX
Eric Young beats Larry Zbyszko; nobody cares about the match.
Christian Cage over Rhino in the 8 Mile Street Fight after interference from Eminem.
Samoa Joe pins Raven to win the Monster's Ball
Low-Shi beats Chris Sabin
LAX wins the tag belts back from AJ and Daniels; feud with a face turned AMW to follow
Sting beats Jeff Jarrett via Kurt Angle counting the pinfall. Jarrett jaws with Angle. Angle decks him. Joe comes from behind and lays out Angle. Sting trys to calm down Joe. Joe lays out Sting. Angle comes back and Olympic Slams Joe. Angle reigns supreme.
Nash waits until everyone else in the Battle Royal Gauntlet Whatever had beaten each other up, and then comes in for a sneaky, easy win.
Dudleys win the four way because of dissension in either AMW or the Old Age Outlaws. Or both.
Eric Young gets his job back and Larry goes off to get his hair transplant.
Rhino beats Christian to a hometown pop.
Someone (Angle? Christian? Steiner?) brawls with Joe during the Monster's Ball, taking him out of the picture and setting up a win for Raven.
Low Ki, finally showing signs of personality, beats Sabin.
LAX takes the cage match, letting them segue into feuds with the Naturals and/or the Dudleys, while building toward the face turn. Styles and Daniels end up in solo feuds where they can also do some tag stuff.
Sting wins the NWA title. His next big feud will be with Christian.
Monty Brown, Elix Skipper, and The Truth all lead a big protest. OK, not really, but it's strange that none of the black wrestlers seem to have anything at all to do (although I assume Lethal, at least, will be in the Nashvitational). I suppose Monty might be gone by now, but with Russo back I though Killings would stick around and get pushed.

Impressive Torch, I have almost the same results as you and I watch every show, i guess I'm just not as a quick a learner as you are.
Nash or Shelley wins the Battle Royal, somebody in the Paparazzi and not what's his face. I'd love to see Starr win, actually he would be a good fit along with Nash and Shelley in the Paparazzi.
I don't think this is officially a number one contender but it might as well be because I think the next team to feud with the champions will be AMW so they'll win here. Isn't 3D doing the whole "we're starting over from the bottom and working our ways up" thing? They shouldn't be winning this match yet, they shouldn't even be in it.
Eric Young beats Larry
Same thing as the tag match. I think the next person to get a world title shot is going to win so Christian wins over Rhino.
Joe pins Raven in the Monster's Ball
Senshi pins Sabin and hopefully moves on to someone else
LAX wins the gold back and moves on to AMW, should be another good feud but i'm not thrilled about either of these teams turning face.

Apparently, neither of us should quit our day jobs after our performance in picking the winners. Either I should watch more TNA, or you should watch less.

So Chavo is supposed to feud with Carlito at some point, is that the new rumor? What about Rey, didn't HE just win a number one contender's match? Is he just taking up time until they bring back Cena or what?
