TNA Victory Road preview and predictions: Will Kurt Angle retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship or will Mick Foley regain it? Who will be Samoa Joe's advisor? Will the Main Event Mafia leave the event with most of the TNA belts?
Jul 19, 2009 - 02:05 PM |
The following predictions are my own and are being made without any inside knowledge of the match finishes. I am guessing just like you are.
Kurt Angle vs. Mick Foley for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Hopefully Angle is not injured all that much. I referred to this match as the obligatory “former champion gets his PPV rematch” and that is exactly what it is. Foley wants to come out and have a great match and I think he will, but of course, Angle will retain in the end.
Samoa Joe vs. Sting: I am looking forward to this match more than any other on the show. I think like most of the show, this match will end in a predictable fashion as well. Joe wins here after receiving help from the debuting Taz.
A.J. Styles vs. Kevin Nash for the Legends Title: Truthfully, I’m finding it difficult to pick against any of the Main Event Mafia guys on this show. So, somehow and someway, Nash wins here and brings the Legends Title back to the Mafia.
Tara vs. Angelina Love for the TNA Knockout Championship: With Awesome Kong involved in the other woman’s match, this will be Tara fending off all three Beautiful People. I’m hoping this will be better than their last pay-per-view match, but regardless, Tara will retain the title and probably move onto another opponent.
Beer Money vs. Booker T and Scott Steiner for the TNA Tag Team Championships: This is probably the most difficult match for me to pick because of all the Mafia guys, this is one match I could see them losing. Also, Beer Money just regained the titles. That being said, I will pick Booker and Steiner to defeat Beer Money and bring the tag straps to the Mafia.
Team 3D vs. The British Invasion for the New Japan Tag Team Championships: This is another tough one to pick, but I’ll go with Team 3D with the Invasion moving onto a program with Beer Money following this show.
Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca: I predict nobody will care about this match. Beyond that, Awesome Kong will be involved somehow and since Jenna seems to be playing the babyface, what better way to turn Kong heel again than have her turn on Jenna. Sharmell wins here and Kong goes after Tara.
Abyss vs. Dr. Stevie: This has been a surprisingly solid mid-card program with Abyss successfully handling his share of the heaving lifting. Unless Raven makes his return tonight, Abyss wins here relatively easily and Stevie (and maybe Daffney too) will bleed a lot.
Matt Morgan vs. Daniels: Here are two guys that a lot of people feel could be main eventing soon. Morgan has a lot of momentum since joining the Mafia and Daniels, well, is lingering right now in that lower part of the card (unfortunately). Morgan wins here to give the Mafia a sweep for the night.
Whether or not you are ordering the show, feel free to follow along here at Dot Net tonight as Jason Powell will be covering Victory Road as it happens.
