One Day Away.....

TNA has been keeping very quiet as of recent in terms of how the Hardcore Justice matches are going to be determined. I assume we've got something special planned. I've speculated so far, but up to this point, nothing has been locked down into place. With the return of Eric Young imminent and ODB freshly signed to a long term deal, I would assume we'll see some more tag team hilarity and maybe, just maybe, we'll see a title defense.

All sarcasm aside, I look forward to seeing Eric again. For all the grief people give the guy, it looks as if he's having a good time with the story he's been placed in. I love that about Eric Young. He is a consummate performer who make a comedic storyline look at the very least passable. Contrast that with Santino and his ridiculous Cobra finisher. *sigh* (And they called Vince Russo's writing bad.)

Back to the PPV....I am quite curious just how fully they are willing to take the concept. If the Knockouts Division is willing to go there as WWE's Women's Division of old used to, this could be a very interesting PPV, indeed. I also wonder if we will yet see some kind of appearance from the Aces and Eights faction I've grown to enjoy. So many critics love to complain about TNA for not having an original idea, but this faction has some very distinct differences from every faction to come before.

-The numbers are never the same.
-The victims chosen are seemingly at random
-There is no definite leader as of yet
-The purpose for the assaults has yet to be revealed
-They have yet to appear on a PPV

These differences separate them from even the Nexus stable of a year or two ago, which was among the biggest WWE disappointments in my recent memory. Just a side note, if you want to make a successful stable function as a unit, you don't fracture the group and put them on two separate shows...if you do fracture the group, you put them together on the same show and sit back for the fireworks. If TNA has one thing going for them that WWE doesn't right now, it's a singular mindset to let a story run its course fully to completion.

So we've got some things to cover for the PPV.....we just need that one day to let those revelations be known.
