Ultimate X - Suicide, Daniels, Homicide, Pope & Amazing Red

I'd start the show with the Ultimate X match.  2 years ago I was in ATL for BFG and starting the show off with the Ultimate X match got the show off to a rocking start.  I'd have some focus on the Suicide/Pope feud but also let Homicide have some of the spotlight.  Since turning on Hernandez and joining WE, Homicide's character has taken a nice turn and I'd like to see him get over more.  In the end though, Red needs to win this match.  He just got the title and I like seeing him being the lucky underdog (TNA's answer to Rey Mysterio).

 

Knockouts Tag Championship - Beautiful People v Taylor & Sarita

The Beautiful People need the win here.  Velvet & Madison win with Lacey's help.

 

TNA Legends Championship - Hernandez v Eric Young v Nash

First off, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to call something the "Legends" title, makes it sound like the only people that should hold it are old wrestlers past their prime.  I'd use this to get over Eric Young as a top heel.  Nash could get a face push if the Mafia breaks up soon.  I've been liking his new "all about the money" character lately and they could do an angle where Young screws him over after offering double the money Angle was offering and get the win.

 

Monster's Ball - Foley vs Abyss

I figure 2 matches between the chaos of Ultimate X and Monster's Ball is enough.  This one gets violent and bloody.  Abyss needs to get the win here at the biggest PPV of the year.  Foley needs to pass the hardcore torch.  I'd say let Abyss take out everyone, including Daffney to end this one, and of course, rescue Lauren.

 

Knockout's Championship - Awesome Kong v Tara v ODB

It's time for Kong to take the title again.  ODB has been lackluster as champion and frankly her character is a little out there for me.  Tara is doing a good job in her role, but the way they have booked this leading up to this match, it's time for Kong to get the win and the title back.

 

TNA/IWGP Tag Championships - Beer Money v 3D v Mafia v British Invasion

I'd give the nod here to the British Invasion.  They've done such a good job with the WE solidifying themselves recently as contenders, I'd let them get both belts.  Magnus get the TNA belts and Williams get the IWGP belts.  I'd really like to see 3D and the Mafia battle to the back and just let the Invasion and Beer Money duke it out until it comes down to a fight on the ladder that the British Invasion win.  This way, you build up a Beer Money/British Invasion feud for the future.

 

To stray away from the WWE formula of having the main events be sprinkled throughout the card, I'd go with a more UFC formula of putting them in sequence to the end.

 

MMA v TNA - Samoa Joe v Lashley

A wrestling match that features mat wrestling, Joe's signature dive, a top rope stray from the norm for Lashley and an all-out brawl that ends with the debut of Mr. Anderson.  Have them brawling on the outside, ref go down when he tries to get between them and Lashley gets too close to the audience, one member of the crowd hits him over the head and knocks him out, then takes off the disguise to reveal Mr. Anderson.  He looks at Joe and smiles and Joe throws Lashley in the ring and puts on the submission and the ref coming to and sees that Lashley is unconscious and calls for the bell.  This way, both men are still viewed well but Joe gets the surprise win and also continues my trend of TNA homegrown talents winning all matches.  This could also start the feud between Anderson & Lashley.  See how this would work on TV: at No Way Out 2007, Anderson fought Lashley for the ECW title but won by DQ after Lashley attacked him with a chair....then Lashley went on to be the chosen one for Trump to face McMahon ("he must've been impressed with you savagely beating another man") and McMahon was going to pick Anderson to face Lashley but McMahon chose Umaga instead ("a guy who didn't get beat senseless and viciously on PPV).  So Lashley and Umaga went on to headline PPVs and Anderson tried to fight his way back into the main event picture from there on, winning the MITB match at Mania but losing that to Edge before he could even cash it in.  He could rant on about how he never forgot how he was beaten viciously out of the main event spot by Lashley and he has waited for the time to be right to get his vengeance.  I think it's just enough out there that it could work.

 

Future v Best - Angle v Morgan

There can't be any other ending to this other than a clean Morgan win.  He has reached the level to beat Angle, it's believable and needs to happen.  Maybe have some of the Mafia come out, but have guys like Team 3D, etc. stop them to allow Morgan to win clean so Angle has no excuses why he lost.

 

TNA Title - Styles v Sting

The last 3 years, Sting has won the title at BFG.  The title has also changed hands at all 4 BFG PPVs.  They are saying this could be Sting's last match but I've also heard that he's still with the company for a few more months.  If this were Sting's last match, I'd have it run a very similar course that Flair/HBK ran for Flair's "last" match.  I'd have Styles be sorry that he was ending Sting's career but needing that win to prove to himself that he could do it.  If this is not Sting's last match (which I don't think it is), here is how I would book it:

 

I say have Sting catch Styles with the splash but also accidentally catch the referee too and when Sting is going for the deathlock to have the match won, have Samoa Joe come down and jump in the ring and lay out Sting with some kind of foreign object, chair or pipe or whatever.  Styles starts to get up and Joe catches him with the muscle buster.  Joe picks up Styles and puts him on Sting and the ref comes back to and Styles gets the win.  The ref doesn't know what happened and Joe leaves smirking.  Styles beats Sting but only because of Joe.  Now Styles is not happy with the win, Sting is mad that Joe took his shot and Joe thinks Sting's career is over because of him (no one should forget that Sting got kicked out of the Mafia because Joe joined and he said it's because of punks like Joe why the Mafia started), but Sting can say later that he's gonna stay to kick Joe's butt.  This immediately starts a feud for later matches between the 3.  Styles could say Sting didn't get his fair shot and they could have another match later and Styles would feud with Joe for the title.  Again, homegrown TNA talents, I would like to see that used to be friends now feuding over the top title in the company.  Sting can have his last match in the future when he's actually ready to hang it up.
