Wow, Impact on Thursdays means not much time for predictions. Oh, for the halcyon days of April!
TNA WORLD TITLE AJ STYLES VS. ROB VAN DAM Van Dam. Whatever they wanted to accomplish with RVD's reign hasn't happened yet, so there's no reason to take it off of him.
STING VS. JEFF JARRETT Don't care -- this is the match that I'm least interested in, by far. Jarrett, let's say.
MR. ANDERSON VS. JEFF HARDY Anderson lost to Angle last month and got put through a table on Thursday -- it's time for him to pick up a win.
TNA TAG TEAM TITLE INK INC VS. SCOTT HALL & KEVIN NASH I can't imagine that this will be any good. Maybe Hall will no-show and Eric Young will step in. A week or two ago I predicted that Ink Inc. would be our next tag champs, but I've already been proven wrong. I'd like to think that it's in Scott Hall's contract that he get a title run, and this is it, and they're going to lose to Ink Inc. on Sunday -- I would LAUGH and LAUGH. But I don't think that will happen. The Band plays on.
(If Ink Inc. loses due to Eric Young's interference, I predict they'll get a re-match next month and bring in Tomko as an enforcer to even the odds.)
X DIVISION TITLE DOUGLAS WILLIAMS VS. KAZARIAN Kazarian is champion, but hasn't actually gotten to touch the belt yet. Kaz wins.
CHELSEA VS. RING DESMOND WOLFE VS. ABYSS If Wolfe wins, he gets Abyss' HoF ring; if Abyss wins, Chelsea is his "propety" for a month. That latter option sounds totally icky to me, so that's probably what TNA will do. Still, I'll predict that Wolfe wins and Abyss subsequently discovers that the power is not in the ring -- is was in him, man, all along.
GLOBAL TITLE MATCH ORLANDO JORDAN VS. ROB TERRY Jordan. Why not?
CAREER VS. KNOCKOUTS TITLE TARA VS. MADISON RAYNE Either Tara's actually leaving and she'll lose, or it's a work and she'll win. I am tempted...but I say Tara loses and exits TNA.
#1 CONTENDER MATCH BEER MONEY VS. MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS VS. TEAM 3D I like that there are enough Tag Teams to have this match in addition to the Title Match (and several others in the wings -- Generation Me most notably). I'll say the Guns just because out of these choices, I'd most like to see MCMG vs. The Band.
If they throw in Matt Morgan vs. Samoa Joe at the last second, I'll say Joe.

You know if there's one team I don't have an issue with losing to the Band it's Ink Inc. They do nothing for me. I suspect Ink Inc will go on to feud with Team 3D. If Abyss beats Wolfe he gets Chelsea eh? So he's gone from Evad Sullivan to George The Animal Steele. I guess it's an upgrade. I'll pick him to go over Wolfe. Terry Vs Jordan should be horrifically bad. I'll go with Terry by DQ. Rvd over Styles is the easiest pick of the night. It should be really good and I hope A.J isn't lost in the shuffle the next few months. Gonna go with Hardy over Anderson. The three way tag match should be good and I'm tempted to pick Team 3D because The Outsiders VS Team 3D is a ''Money Match'' in the eyes of the people still living in the 90's(Hogan, Russo, Bisch) but I'll go with The MCMG and likely be wrong. Kazarian Vs Williams if given time could steal the show. Alas they'll likely be given under ten minutes. I'll go with Kaz retaining. Rayne and Jarrett are my picks in Matches I really don't care enough.
Harvee Dee. He's actually over, and while I do worry about the homegrown guys getting enough attention, AJ's actually been treated pretty well and doesn't really need to get the belt back right now.
Jarrett. He needs the win more. Well, he doesn't really need the win, but they're probably planning to do stuff with him.
Mr. Anderson. After the way he was buried on Thursday, he needs it. And hopefully they have the sense to see how Jeff's legal situation goes before putting him over in a big match.
The Band. Ugh.
Kazarian. Still don't understand why they had to rush the title onto him, but I'm assuming that's a sign that he's keeping it at least until his next feud.
Desmond Wolfe. I just don't see anywhere that "heel valet becomes property of face wrestler" goes that makes sense. Even Vince Russo "sense".
Jordan. He's getting the push.
Rayne. I see no reason to believe that the whole Tara leaving thing is a work.
Matt Morgan and someone. Gonna go out on a limb and predict a winner who isn't in the match yet. Under the circumstances it would behoove them to include him. For a partner? An X division guy, but someone with more credibility than Morgan (in storyline) would give him credit for. Um...let's say Jay Lethal.
Desmond Wolfe. I just don't see anywhere that "heel valet becomes property of face wrestler" goes that makes sense. Even Vince Russo "sense".
Baby Doll/Dusty Rhodes 1985. Dusty wins her and the TV Title from Tully Blanchard, Baby Doll steals a horse and dresses as a cop to cost Magnum TA the US Title. She then runs up Dusty's credit card in Hawaii. But, a few months later Dusty saves her from Tully. Baby Doll is so appreciative that after Dusty wins the NWA Title, she turns on him. As for this situation, a Beauty and the Beast situation could emerge where Chelsea begins to appreciate the inner beauty of Abyss and refuses to leave him when the 30 days expires.
Quick picks: Van Dam Sting Anderson Kazarian Wolfe Jordan Rayne Team 3D

NA WORLD TITLE AJ STYLES VS. ROB VAN DAM RVD. No need to take the belt off of Rob when there are plenty of other people to face him in PPV matches. AJ needs to move down to face Jeff or Joe.
STING VS. JEFF JARRETT Sting. Could be a good match or another old timers slow paced match. Joe will destroy Sting at the end though.
MR. ANDERSON VS. JEFF HARDY Anderson via shenigans. They are keeping Anderson strong when he wins the belt which he will prior to the end of the year.
TNA TAG TEAM TITLE INK INC VS. SCOTT HALL & KEVIN NASH The Band in what will be the worst and hopefully shortest match of the night. Ink Inc. is good for both men.
X DIVISION TITLE DOUGLAS WILLIAMS VS. KAZARIAN Kaz wins in what should be a really good match of clashing styles.
CHELSEA VS. RING DESMOND WOLFE VS. ABYSS Wolfe via DQ. Desmond gives the ring back to Flair and we can forget about this stupid ring shit. Also, Desmond needs the win if he is going after the title. Abyss is a disaster at this point.
GLOBAL TITLE MATCH ORLANDO JORDAN VS. ROB TERRY Terry. Keep him strong and I think the OJ is wearing thin on people.
CAREER VS. KNOCKOUTS TITLE TARA VS. MADISON RAYNE Tara. They are going to use her last month to build a new face challenger if Love wasn't injured then it would be her.
#1 CONTENDER MATCH BEER MONEY VS. MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS VS. TEAM 3D -Team 3D. The Band having the belts and they already have a feud with them. Probably one of the better matches of the nights.
