The Fight Network

On Sunday night TNA presents ‘No Surrender' from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida as a set up show for ‘Bound for Glory' next month. The LAW breaks down the card and will have a full review Sunday night at 11pm EST on The Score Radio on Sirius 98.

KURT ANGLE VS JEFF HARDY IN THE SEMI FINALS OF THE TNA TITLE TOURNAMENT

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
I suspect that Angle will go over here since they have been keeping him really strong with his climb back to contender status. Plus, who knows what is up with Hardy and his court case, and why would you want to set up something that could blow up in your face later? Oh, yeah, it's TNA. I still see Angle going over here.

Jason Agnew
Should be a good match, and these two guys are big names... yet for some reason (perhaps due to the abruptness of this asinine tournament I have no interest in this match.  Kurt Angle wins.

John Pollock
Jeff Hardy has had his moments this year in TNA but it's a far cry from the body of matches he was putting together in the WWE over the course of 2008 and 2009. I do expect Hardy to be up for this one as they are being positioned as the main event and will have lots of time. The Kurt Angle title chase has become the focal point of this tournament as they have scrapped his storyline of going through each contender to being placed in the tournament and being two wins away from winning the title. Angle has the story attached to the title chase and he should advance to the finals however, if it was me I feel Hardy is the more over talent and the guy I would be placing in the main event slot for next month.

THE POPE VS MR. ANDERSON

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
The Pope seemed to have some potential a few months back, but some bad booking and an injury kind of stalled things. I think he's just a stepping stone here for Anderson, so we get Angle vs Anderson in the final.

Jason Agnew
Nice to see The Pope back on TV in a prominent role.  Oh yeah, and he's losing here.

John Pollock
I don't think the build behind this was what it could have been despite the efforts. The storyline reason for The Pope being out of action was because of an attack by Anderson, Pope returns and all of a sudden Anderson is a babyface and the meat of this program would have been Pope pissed off that that everyone loves this guy, who attacked him and put him on the shelf. The company seems incredibly high on Anderson and he should advance to the finals.

A.J STYLES VS TOMMY DREAMER IN AN ‘I QUIT MATCH FOR THE TELEVISION TITLE

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
I guess the obvious joke here is this match will definitely be a "styles clash" for both participants. AJ has his work cut out for him here, and I expect a lot of brawling. I sure hope they don't make AJ say I quit, but anything could happen in TNA. I think AJ should come out on top and this gets ECW moving out the door.

Jason Agnew
AJ wins, and Tommy should retire.

John Pollock
Remember when Styles declared the Global Title was being re-branded the Television Title and he would defend it each week on TV only to not defend it once on TV? From a logic stand point didn't we see Dreamer lose to Raven clean at the last pay per view or was that not supposed to count because it was a reunion show? The positives of the Fortune Vs EV 2.0 angle is that Styles has really come a long way on the microphone and this how he should have been booked when Ric Flair first came rather than Styles playing mini Ric. I'm not invested enough for these two to have an ‘I Quit' match and think it's going to be a tall order for these two to gel with such contrasting styles.

THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS VS DESMOND WOLFE & MAGNUS FOR THE TAG TITLES

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
If they use Magnus right, this could be the match of the night for in-ring. The Guns are finally getting what they deserve, so I hope they let them hold the spotlight for a bit. I think the Guns will retain, but the feud with Magnus and Wolfe can continue.

Jason Agnew
If we can keep Magnus's role to a minimum, then this will be a good match.  Even though they were thrown together very quickly i like the team of Magnus / Wolfe, I even like the name of "London Calling" and will be interested in hearing their theme music when they come to the ring for the obvious remake of The Clash.

John Pollock
I don't know if I'm in the minority but I'm loving the team of London Brawling and feel they work off of each so well especially in the vignette where they went to the mall. Magnus' new character is great and Wolfe is a very underrated promo, I'm personally happier Wolfe is part of this rather than a background player in Fortune. The Machine Guns are super hot coming off of the Beer Money series of matches and it's not the right time to take the titles off of them so I pick them to retain and would be happy with this feud continuing as London Brawling continues to evolve as they've had limited time on TV together.

DOUGLAS WILLIAMS VS SABU FOR THE X DIVISION TITLE

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
This one is a tough call.  I could see them wanting to put it on Sabu because he was, at one time, the epitome of the X Division, with tons of high flying and acrobatic style moves. But the thing is, does he have what it takes in 2010 to carry a title full time? I really like Douglas Williams in this role, but I think this is the one match that EV 2.0 wins on this show.

Jason Agnew
Very interesting match.  I suspect we're going to look down he line and see a big "Fortune" night, therefore I'll take Williams for the win here.

John Pollock
Sabu worked fine at the pay per view last month and I'm curios to see how the two work together on Sunday night. There is zero build for this match outside of the fact each faction has sent a guy to represent them. The dynamic coming out of the show should be Fortune destroying EV 2.0 and leading to a big angle with everything on the line.

ABYSS VS RHINO IN A ‘FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH' 

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
I'm guessing that Abyss is getting the win here after Stevie Richards pinned him on Impact this week. So it looks like we might get one victory out of EV 2.0,  with Sabu taking the X Division title. Hopefully, that means the feud is over and the ECW guys can fade on out of there. 

Jason Agnew
Abyss' reign of terror continues, he beats Rhino... let's face it, everyone beats Rhino.

John Pollock
The company lost their mind at the recent TV tapings. They booked Abyss Vs Stevie Richards on the ‘go home' edition of Impact and STEVIE RICHARDS PINNED ABYSS. What was the point of that? Abyss is your top heel right now that you would think would be booked as a monster to set up the eventual Rob Van Dam return and instead he's putting over Stevie Richards? One of the most illogical booked matches on TV this year and as a result how is Abyss even perceived as a threat? Stupid.

KEVIN NASH & STING VS JEFF JARRETT & SAMOA JOE

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
I really hate the way Joe has become just some kind of fill-in guy whenever they need an angle or match. Nash and Sting were scheduled to feud with Hogan and Bischoff, but Hogan probably can't do anything in ring, so Joe is thrown in with no real reason why. If I had my way, Joe would turn on Jarrett, and obliterate all three of them.

Jason Agnew
I have no interest in this match at all... who wins? who cares.

John Pollock
I don't know what to say...I just don't know.

VELVET SKY VS MADISON RAYNE

Dan ‘The Mouth' Lovranski
I still want to know how someone gets past security and building staff riding a motorcycle right into an arena. Nevertheless, I see Velvet getting the win here when Madison tries to cork Velvet with Tara's helmet again, but Velvet stops it, corks Madison, and gets the pinfall, all right in front of those watchful TNA refs and security.

Jason Agnew
I think we get the motorcycle rider unmasked on this show.  And Sky comes out on top here. 

John Pollock
I think they should build this match around the mysterious biker aligning herself with Madison Rayne and as a result of all of her interference Angelina Love aligns with Sky and says that at the PPV she is going to even the odds and be in the corner of Sky and PROMISES to unmask this biker and therefore drive interest behind who this mysterious woman is and people order the pay per view for the reveal and then at the end of the match they deliver on the stip and unmask the biker to reveal Tara...I'm going to go watch Impact now and see how they build to this moment on their revenue stream a.k.a pay per view.
