-Dot Net has confirmed reports that the main event of the Hard Justice pay-per-view will be Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn.

-Johnny Swinger is expected to appear on the show, presumably in a tag match with longtime partner Simon Diamond (a/k/a Pat Kenney), who works as an agent for TNA.

-Justin Credible's name came up internally, but we have not confirmed that he will appear on the show.

-There is some talk of trying to make up for the fact that the show won't be filled with great in-ring action by adding more interview content. One idea is doing a series of sit-down interviews with some of the former ECW wrestlers and airing them throughout the show in between matches.

Powell's POV: The word amongst former ECW wrestlers is that TNA officials reached out to Roadkill, but the story goes that he turned them down. It will be interesting to see whether Sandman is booked for the show, as he filed a deposition against TNA in the Konnan discrimination lawsuit. Sean Waltman did the same and was booked as part of The Band, so it's would not be unprecedented for TNA to use someone who testified against them.

The rumored pay for the non-contracted wrestlers is said to range of $500 and $1,000 for in-ring performers. There has been some talk internally regarding the possibility of holding some house show events featuring the former ECW wrestlers in select markets where ECW was most popular. However, I have yet to hear of company officials mentioning this possibility to the wrestlers who have been contacted regarding Hard Justice.
