Listen up!

Class is in session. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's "Hard Justice" is history. Here are my predictions, followed by what actually happened:

Professor's Choice: The Best Wrestling Web Sites Pro Wrestling Torch Wrestling Observer The Road Warriors Inc. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling World Wrestling Entertainment

House Of Fun Match: Raven vs. Jeff Hardy
What Should Happen: This is basically a cage match with props, but I hope they keep the dreaded cookie sheet hidden away. This is Raven's creation, so I think he should be able to win it.

What Will Happen: Raven over Hardy in a bloody one.

What Did Happen: Hardy allegedly misses his flights to Orlando, and is replaced by Sean (X-Pac) Waltman. Raven still wins.

NWA World Tag Team Championship: The Naturals vs. America's Most Wanted.
What Should Happen: Here's the great thing about TNA: The promotion treats the tag team division – and the belts -- with respect. WWE goes the opposite way, treating tag team wrestling -- and its performers -- like garbage. It's a shame. As for this match, it pits the current champs, The Naturals, against their longtime rivals, AMW. The smart money has the heels retaining.

What Will Happen: The Naturals keep the belts.

What Did Happen: The Naturals won, naturally.

20-Man Gauntlet For The Gold
What Should Happen:The winner of this royal rumble-type match gets a shot at the NWA champion, be it Styles or Jarrett. If I were booking things, I'd elevate the monster Abyss, eventually turning him babyface.

What Will Happen: This is a tough one to pick, so I'm sticking with Abyss to win.

What Did Happen: Not so tough, after all. Abyss takes it, pining Ron Killings. He gets a shot at the NWA champ in a future PPV.

Required Reading: The Christopher Daniels Interview

X-Division Championship Match: The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels vs. Shocker
What Should Happen: While Shocker has a big following in Mexico, he's just too new to the U.S. audience to win the belt right away. Daniels needs to win here to cement his reign atop the X-Division.

What Will Happen: A clean pin for Daniels, and the win.

What Did Happen: Daniels gets the clean pin for the win.

NWA Championship Match: A.J. Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett
What Should Happen: Here, it's the best wrestler on planet Earth (Styles) clashing with the owner of the company (Jarrett). Jarrett, an accomplished heel who weasels his way to most wins, should win again here. Styles, the X-Division workhorse, should chase Jarrett for a while before getting the belt.

What Will Happen: Jarrett cheats, Jarrett wins. But not before Styles puts him through the wringer. Former UFC champion Tito Ortiz is the guest referee. He'll get involved somehow as well. I'm guessing he'll mix it up with Jarrett and inadvertently help him win.

What Did Happen: Ortiz did get mixed up in the finish, as he nailed Jarrett. Styles then pinned the champ to take the belt.

That's it. Not a bad performance from your beloved professor: four for five correct picks on the big matches for this card. This Friday: a look at WWE's 'Judgment Day!'

Now get out of here. Class dismissed!
