TNA HARD JUSTICE BY THE NUMBERS

Here’s how this works…Each match is worth 5.00 total, I rate each match anywhere from .50 cents to the full 5.00, and sometimes if it looks to be a spectacular match I throw on a few bucks. If at the end of the match listing it doesn’t total 30.00 or more than it isn’t worth it to buy the PPV. So now we take a look TNA’s Hard Justice.
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe (All TNA titles on the line)
This is a rematch everyone has been waiting for. The storylines are numerous heading into this one. Even Angle’s real family has gotten in on the action. This match (as it should be) is expected to be the highlight of the night and it is going to be. This match goes to Samoa Joe. It is worth the whole five dollars and a two dollar tip.
Adam “Pacman” Jones appearance
Obviously this isn’t a match but it is listed on the card so it gets a place on this sheet. I have no idea what TNA was thinking. I give this “event” .50 cents as at least it may bring in some NFL viewers – maybe not.
Team 3D vs. The Steiner’s
Arguably the two very best teams ever in the squared circle or 6 sided ring. Veterans v. younger veterans. Dirty player’s vs. well….dirty players. The Steiner line vs. the Triple D. It is an even bout going in. But I got to give the younger of the teams (3D) the win here. I give this match four dollars.
Abyss/Sting/Punisher vs. Cage/Tomko/Styles (Stips TBA)
Four of these men are quite possibly the best in the business today. Punisher is new to TNA but as Test was a monster at points in his career. This match could be fantastic or it could be a train wreck – seeing Styles vs. Sting is worth a lot of cash though. In the end Team Abyss wins. And I go with an even three dollars.
Storm vs. Rhino (Bar Room Brawl)
This one will undoubtedly steal the show. These two are at the top of their game. Rhino is an absolute wrecking machine. Storm has never looked better in singles competition. I give the edge here to Storm and this bout gets four dollars.
VKM vs. LAX
This is not a match I really want to see and of all the tag teams in the world I am truly the most tired of VKM…kind of like their namesake in that regard. I see LAX going over as this match can only really benefit them. It is worth a dollar.
So our total for this pre card financial layout is 19.50. Get this one in DVD since that is about how much they’ll sell it for! Honestly there are a few great matches here, at least on paper. It may be worth more than the amount states.
