Welcome to Hard Justice, the next in TNA's PPV lineup!
The PPV is still $29.95 and it will begin at 8 PM Eastern. Matches are still being added, so check back here regularly for any updates. I will also email the current participants of this game to inform them of any changes to the card.
Now onto the game, it works like this. I provide a list of matches and a bit of information on each one (if available), and you provide a list of who you think will win the matches. You must also put up at least a minimum of one week of subtime (but you can always put up more if you wish. Just transfer the subtime to me, and I’ll transfer to the winner. Also, please be sure to state what the transfer is for) The “pot" of subtime will then be given to the winner(s). You may cast your picks any time between now and May 14th. However, you must send your week of subtime to me for your picks to count! Good luck to everyone!
New Rule: Once you've sent in your subtime to be added to the pot, it therefore becomes forfeit, unless you are declared the winner of the game. This is to hopefully keep people from saying that they'll make their picks later, but then never post their picks by the time the PPV rolls around.
Any matches added to the PPV before May 14th will be included. In case that happens, you can either make a new post with your new picks or edit your current post with your choice for winner of the new match and you're good to go. Any last minute matches will not be included.
New Rule: If a match currently on the lineup is changed at the last minute, I will decide whether or not it'll be counted.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know (and to anyone who worries, my current subscription expires on June 30th). In the meantime, please feel free to discuss the PPV or TNA in general.
You can catch TNA Impact every Friday afternoon at 4 PM on Fox Sports. Check your local cable or satellite provider for more details.

Not to rain on your thread here, vDub, but I think every TNA fan needs to have a moment of silence for Chris Candido. He died of a blood clot last Thursday after breaking his leg @ the Lockdown PPV.

I honestly didn't find out about this until tonight during Raw.
Sad....

I already knew about this...K00L5h0w posted something about it in LadyInRed's wrestling forum, and I was honestly shocked to hear about it.

Its Raven vs Sean Waltman not Jeff Hardy. I didn't watch Impact so I'm not sure why Jeff isn't there.

During Raven's pre-match interview he kept referring to Waltman as X-Pac...doesn't WWE own the rights to the X-Pac name?
edit: holy fudge that match was great!

Not a bad PPV. I was suprised Jeff "HHH Jr." Jarrett dropped the belt. Raven and X-Pac stole the show. |

if Jarrett was going to drop the belt to anybody, at least it was AJ Styles...

but this game sure was a bust...no one else played and too many matches changed. I still never did know who was going to be in the Gauntlet.

Raven cut a promo last night at the Hard Justice PPV talking about how Jeff Hardy didn't have the guts to show up. As we noted earlier, Jeff Hardy missed several flights and didn't make it to the show. Raven then referred to his opponent as 'Xpac' which is a copywrited WWE name. TNA has always referred to him as Sean Waltman. The promo was not even scheduled for the PPV and was written in at the last minute due to Hardy's issues.

I wonder what kinda issues Jeff had this time...I'm kinda disappointed that he wasn't on the PPV like he was supposed to be.

TNA management was thrilled with Tito Ortiz at Hard Justice this past Sunday. They want to use him again and may have him wrestle at big PPV events. Nothing is signed yet though.
The Slammiversary PPV main event will be announced tonight at the Impact! tapings and it will be a King of the Mountain match featuring A.J. Styles defending against Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, Monty Brown and another wrestler (it was scheduled to be Jeff Hardy but that could change).

Jeff Hardy has been suspended from TNA and was sent home early until further notice. This is disciplinary action for him missing the PPV on Sunday. Jeff did arrive after the show was over and was at the hotel where the wrestler stay. TNA management had to substitute in Sean Waltman on Sunday to face Raven in a match on the PPV.
There were plans in the works for Jeff to be reunited with his brother over the summer and they were going to make a big PPV out of their return as a tag team.

We've been told that Diamond Dallas Page is done with TNA. We're told Page finished up with the company at Hard Justice on Sunday. We do know TNA management was unhappy because DDP didn't want to job over Monty Brown and requested interference from Phi-Delta Slam on Sunday.
We're also told that Page was not happy with Dusty Rhodes stepping down as a booker as he was always a favorite of Dusty's. There really wasn't much left for Page to do in the company at this point either beyond putting over others.
