I very loosely follow TNA, but did happen to catch some of Impact this past week.
As far as the two "main events" go, the Bound for Glory main event should see A.J. Styles challenging for the title, and its the next live PPV they have, so he SHOULD beat Angle and get some real momentum going. This, of course, means he will lose.
Bully Ray leading Aces and Eights is probably the hottest act TNA has, and Sting is way past his prime and has no true value beyond elevating new stars. A Bully/Styles main event for BFG would probably be the most interesting main event they could do. So Sting will win.

Im sure the PPV has already started, but I havent cared enough to look, so here are my picks:
GutCheck Tourney Final Sam Shaw - dont care, flipped a coin
Last Knockout Standing Taryn Terrell - retribution for the figure four around the goalpost
6 Man Magnus, Joe, Hardy - they wont have Hardy on the losing end in his first match back since losing the strap
Ultimate X Sabin - dudes been on the shelf two years, give him the strap just because of his dedication to his craft and to rehab
TV Title Devon - Unless Joseph Park comes out as Abyss, keep the title on Devon, because the Joseph Park gimmick sucks ass
Tag Title Chavito & Hernandez - I'd like to see the other 3 teams join together and form a faction
Grudge Styles - I like his take no shit attitude. hopefully they dont bitch him out in his first match back
Heavyweight Title Bully Ray - I see TNA going the old 'Steph McMahon going against Vince and siding with her hubby swerve', and Brooke will turn on Sting and help Bully

The whole Bully Ray/Brooke Hogan thing is completely McMahon/Helmsley. I'll be shocked if she doesn't side with him as a "shocker." I'm fully expecting her to get involved in match at a pivotal point and cause Sting to lose. Beatdown ensues.
Between AJ Styles and Kurt Angle, I'm thinking Styles. He'll be the "white knight" to take on HHH, I mean, Bully Ray.
The Tag Team Championship: I'm hoping it's Bad Influence.
Television Champ: Who cares?
Ultimate X: Give it to Sabin. He deserves it.
6 Man Tag: Like you said, Chad, Jeff Hardy's back so his team will get the win.
Knockout: I wish I could say Gail Kim, but I'm expecting Taryn Terrell to pull it out.
Gutcheck: Who cares?

I read the results and they went exactly as I thought they would. Do TNA bookers have their heads up their asses ? At the very least, the TNA locker room should have been involved in the Main Event as the NWO version 4 was. Man their bookers are stupid.

I don't understand. I get the fact that Angle was inducted into the TNA HOF (even though it disturbs me that an old WWF/E wrestler and an old WCW wrestler are the first two inductees...when a guy like Styles has been there busting ass from the beginning, but I digress)...
But you take this huge angle (no Kurt) where everyone wants to know where the loyalty of AJ Styles lies...is he TNA, is he A&8's, he is a lone wolf...and then you piss it all away, and have him lose?
HOF or not, they should have had Styles go over on Angle. Shithole reminds me of WCW more and more every show...

GutCheck Tournament Final Jay Bradley vs. Sam Shaw (Though I agree this is a great opportunity to show off new talent, I think it should actually be an online only, and taken off the shows. Then in the finals you get a match on Impact.) I find myself like so many others just not giving a shit about this match. Wasted time slot...
Last Knockout Standing Match Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell (I told Britt how this was going to end, though I agree it should have gone to Gail Kim.)
6 Man Tag The Aces & Eights vs. Magnus, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy (Aces and Eights is the best thing they have going for them right now, they need to stretch out the "war" a little bit better. I would go head and have Anderson turn out to be a double agent who was with TNA the whole time, bring in someone else to take his place, keep it going. Have them Vote out the VP someone else step up to take his spot so on and so on.)
Ultimate X: X-Division Championship Kenny King (c) vs. Suicide vs. Chris Sabin (Sabin deserves it, though I would have loved to see an oldschool Ultimate X match with Williams)
Television Championship Devon (c) vs. Joseph Park (Shut the fuck up and just keep Abyss back)
Four Team Elimination Tag Team Championship Chavo & Hernandez (c) vs. Bad Influence vs. Austin Aries & Bobby Roode vs. James Storm & Gunner (Just happy to see the tag team division picking back up)
Grudge Match A.J. Styles vs. Kurt Angle (Styles should have won...)
World Heavyweight Championship Match Bully Ray vs. Sting (I would have rather seen a clean win over Sting to be honest. Sting doesn't need the World Championship at this point in his career.)
HOF (Though Angle deserves the accolades of greatness he has however not put in the time that others have for either the business or the company its self. Hogan, like him or hate him built the business as we know it for the past 30 years, Sting as well, What about Larry Zbyszko, Raven, Tazz, Macho Man? These are guys who's name I would have had in the hat.)
I'm not a Jeff Jarrett fan by any stretch, but how the hell is HE not in a TNA HoF before these guys?
I also don't get why you're inducting people that still work a regular schedule, but that's an entirely different issue.
I agree 100 percent

They'll probably do some bullshit like Jarrett is the "Mastermind" being Aces and 8s. That would be a predictably lame TNA type of move. Not having him in their Hall of Fame hints to me that he's going to return to wrestling actively at some point. They hinted at Bully being in charge of the Aces by never having him change his name from "Bully Ray" to something more "Face" in nature.

Exactly and one of my biggest issues. I understand there is stuff to work around with guys in the WWE Hall of Fame, legal issues and what not because Vince is a dick. Stick it to him... Get the guys who told him no. Or the guys he doesn't think about. The guys who have free reign of their own name.
Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Hector Guerrero, Larry Zbyszko, Sting shouldn't be working a full time schedule anyhow but that's just me.

Call me crazy, but I think a TNA Hall of Fame should evaluate possible inductees purely by what they did in TNA. I also wouldn't induct people that are still working regularly either, but that's just me.
My TNA HoF would eventually include:
Jeff Jarrett (6-Time NWA Champ) Sting (4-Time TNA Champ, 1-Time NWA Champ under TNA banner) A.J. Styles (1-Time TNA Champ, 3-Time NWA Champ) Kurt Angle (5-Time TNA Champ) Ken Shamrock (First ever NWA Champ under TNA banner) Ron Killings (First ever African-American NWA Champ) America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris as a team, 6-Time NWA Tag Team Champs) Team 3D (As a team) Gail Kim (1st Knockout Champ, was a centerpiece of Knockouts division when it was highest rated segment of TNA broadcasts) Awesome Kong (For killing bitches dead) Pacman Jones (The CELEBRITY WING!!!!!)
Then you've got Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin all as people who have been integral to TNA over the years.
Of all those people, Jarrett should be in now, you could throw Shamrock in, maybe Kong, AMW, Sting...but the rest should wait.
