[MKO*]

[quote]This Thursday night at 9pm, TNA Wrestling returns to SpikeTV for two hours of Total Nonstop Action as TNA continues down the road to the January 6 “Final Resolution” Pay-Per-View event! The below is a preview of what is scheduled to take place on the broadcast:

- The big question is will “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles make his final decision on which side he will choose: either TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle or “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage? Both Cage and Angle have demanded that Styles make his decision – and they want an answer ASAP. What about AJ’s tag team partner Tomko? Will he stay with Angle or return to Cage’s side before the big Final Resolution main event showdown between Cage and Angle? Tune in this Thursday night to find out AJ’s answer!

[The00Raven00Effect]

what the hell is TNA thinking? I can barely stand 1 gauntlet match let alone 4!

[MKO*]

I know what you mean!
The only one I want to see is the X-Division one.
The Tag-team one will be ruined by VKM

Agreed

IS this a normal battle royal, or a reverse lame one. If it's normal I'll enjoy the show. It'll beat 10 man tag matches lol, but if it's reverse battle royals, I'll probably not tune in.

[The Future Is...]

Wonder what the full card will be for FR08 Maybe a Karen Angle vs Sharmell Huffman Match

Hopefully Joe wins the heavyweight gauntlet, I'm kinda getting tired of the "I'm Angry & Under Payed" Gimmick

VKM is hopefully gonna be eliminated first , So I Can Enjoy the gauntlet

It's TNA Gauntlet rules where two competitors start out a match, and a new competitor enters every 60 seconds. Battle Royal rules apply until two competitors are left, and then they start a one-on-one match.

I actually like the idea of all gauntets in one episode of iMPACT!, but TNA is definately cheapening the prestige of the Gauntlet.

Should be interesting.

Hoping for Roode to win the Heavyweight gauntlet. *crosses fingers*

Tag team gauntlet could turn out pretty boring IMO.

[TN./Kennedy]

My goodness, TNA totally whores out the gautlet match. Meh it could be intresting.
