[CapeCrusader]

The special “TNA Thursday Night iMPACT!” features a lineup of matches originally slated for the “Hard Justice” pay-per-view event on August 8. The card was moved to Spike TV after TNA President Dixie Carter and “The Extreme Original” Tommy Dreamer announced a one-night-only “HardCORE Justice” pay-per-view event to celebrate the superstars who created hardcore wrestling.

Pictures are up for all these matches announced, but for some reason TNA F*cked up and I can't get the pictures going except for the RVD/Abyss match. Will keep trying to get the pics up when TNA fixes it.

Is there a full harcore justice card yet, so we can start picking on that.

anyway, i'll definitely be watching this tna. Cant wait for the angle/styles match.

Samoa Joe has been suspended for 30 days for yelling at backstage staff about giving away the ending to his match with Jeff Hardy.

I bring this up because Joe was my pick to face Hardy at this show.

No, Borash came out and said there was 30 seconds left in the match and they did a countdown from their.

I'm confused. I don't recall seeing the match, so maybe I just missed it.

Thanx for the help Dunthreevy, I dunno why it just would give me a blank screen when I try viewing the pictures.

Why do all the TNA Knockouts have pornstar names?

Why you complaining jks

But yeah I agree, I noticed that not too long ago. Kinda a shame cuz I'm sure they aren't being taken that seriously, especially since some of them are pretty good in the ring.

No right now just naming wrestlers who are going to be at the PPV. I think they are going to announce like a couple matches and the rest are going to be surprises.

Awesome Kong. Worst. Porn Name. Ever.

As reported earlier, next week's episode of TNA iMPACT! will feature match-ups initially pegged for Sunday's pay-per-view event. One of the matches advertised for iMPACT! is Jeff Hardy's "Open Challenge." The open challenge is expected to be met by a wrestler let go by World Wrestling Entertainment
earlier this year. That person has asked that we keep his name a secret for now.

Quote from Wrestler Observer newsletter

Only people I can think of is Shelton and Carlito...

[Celtics_Champs]

Please be shelton!

[Stanford]

lol at a Hardy-Shelton feud though. Think of the awful mic work.

[Celtics_Champs]

I watched last week, I think any feud with hardy will be bad. He just looks out of shape. Doesn't have the same excitement he once had.

[skbucks1985]

It is expected that a recently released WWE wrestler will be the one to answer the challenge against Hardy. This makes sense as Samoa Joe was the only WWE wrestler that could've made sense that's currently on the TNA roster. If it was going to be Jay Lethal or something, why advertise it as an open challenge.

Anyway, so I guess now the speculation starts as to who the person will be. Both Daniel Bryan and Carlito are within there 90 day no-compete clause. Outside of Shelton, Carlito would've been the other popular pick to be the guy. Here's the list of guys released by WWE in 2010 whose 90 day no compete clause has expired: Tony Atlas, Mike Knox, Kung Fu Naki, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shelton, Slam Master J/Jesse, Charlie Haas, Shane Helms, Paul Burchill, and Eric Escobar.

I think we can eliminate Atlas, Kung Fu Naki, Yang, Mike Knox, Jesse, Burchill and Escobar as I don't think TNA would have interest in them or they wouldn't debut them in such a high profile spot.

That leaves Shelton, Haas and Helms. I'll be honest with you, I think its going to be Helms. There's been a rumor here and there about him joining TNA plus we all know he's super tight with Shannon Moore and Jeff.
