Sunday Nov. 15th, 2009 Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) presents its sixth installment of the Turning Point pay-per-view. Live from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Fl. we are set to view eight matches and possibly won't see the true arrival of Hulk Hogan to TNA.

We at Hit the Ropes have decided to not only provide a little preview for the event, but also get a contest going for all of our loyal readers out there. Thanks to the concept created by an online colleague of mine from another website, you will need to correctly predict the outcomes of the matches and beat the other competitors.

Simply throw your choices in the comment field and provide a form of contact (e-mail, AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, or Windows). The person with the highest total will be contacted the day after the pay-per-view.

Now, let's get to the show.

**Six-Man Tag Team Street Fight** (1 pt.)

Team 3D and Rhino vs. Matt Morgan, Hernandez, and "Black Pope" D'Angelo Dinero

Rhino has been "paranoid" as of late, believing that TNA management has been trying to get the younger wrestlers to take out the veterans. After weeks of trying to get Brother Ray and Brother Devon of TNA to believe him, Rhino has finally gotten through to the IGWP tag champs. This past episode of Impact we saw Team 3D seemingly turn heel again. It was not the only turn that night, as it seems that Dinero suddenly became a face after beginning his TNA career as a heel. Months ago, Morgan and Hernandez seemed prime to get into the main event scene but now they have been bumped back down to the midcard ranks. The fact that this is a street fight leads me to think that this might be one of several bloody affairs this Sunday.

My Take: To solidify the heel turn of 3D, I'll go with Team 3D and Rhino for the win.

**Six-Sides of Steel Match** (1 pt.)

Awesome Kong vs. Tara

Kong is a woman without a handler and all the Knockouts are no longer safe. The old Kong is back and better than ever. Tara claims to not be scared of the uncaged beast. She says that she isn't locked in the six-sides of steel with Kong, Kong is locked in there with her.Can the steel cage hold these two combustible elements?

My Take: Kong has been running through women here and I'm thinking that continues here. She has to continue looking stronger than ever.

**Revenge Match** (1 pt.)

Bobby Lashley vs. Scott Steiner

Steiner has taken an interest in Lashley's wife/girlfriend/baby mama Kristal. Big Poppa Pump claimed that the baby Kristal had is not Lashley's. No sir, that child looks like Steiner. This week, Lashley was laid out in the hotel room after Steiner waited in hiding and attacked.

My Take: Bobby Lashley isn't called "The Boss" for no reason. When Lashley can be leaving at any time to go to Strikeforce, I believe he will be treated well by the writers.

**TNA Knockouts Tag Match: All Titles on the Line** (2 pt.)

The Beautiful People vs. Sarita, Taylor Wilde, and ODB

Sarita and Wilde's Knockouts Tag Team Championships, along with ODB's Knockout Championship are up for grabs here. The ladies of TBP are really the only tag team in TNA to compete with Sarita and Wilde. Any other team would have to be a makeshift model. That being said, TBP has gotten the upper hand for the most part in this feud. While ODB has been attacked by TBP, she seems to have once again been thrusted into a feud that really doesn't make sense for her.

My Take: I pray to all the Gods to keep championship gold away from Lacey von Erich. Since TBP, along with Kong, won on Impact, I'll go with the good guys women here.

**X Division Championship Match** (2 pt.)

Homicide vs. Amazing Red© w/Don West

Homicide has been going on tirades lately and has come off as an unstable wrestler willing to do whatever it takes to get his hand on the X Division title. A couple weeks ago Homicide informed us that he knew the identity of Suicide. I think that might come into play here. Red is impressing every week on Impact now that he is getting more time to shine.

My Take: Suicide will probably come out and cause a distraction in some manner. Even if it doesn't happen, I still see Red reigning supreme here.

**TNA World Tag Team Championship Match** (2 pt.)

Motor City Machine Guns vs. Beer Money Inc. vs. The British Invasion©

The Guns won the Ultimate X match to get the tag title shot here but outside of an attack on TBI atop the entrance ramp they have been rather quiet in this title hunt. This is all about BMI and TBI. Beer Money was able to win on Impact this week to get inserted into this match, much to TBI's chagrin. The Englishmen have been trying to avoid BMI for a while but will have no choice but to fight this Sunday. Can the men of the The World Elite hold on to their titles despite being at a disadvantage here?

My Take: The British Invasion only won these belts back at Bound for Glory so I see them winning here. MCMG are only here now to provide some wonderful high-paced spots.

**Challenge Match** (3 pt.)

Kurt Angle vs. Desmond Wolfe

Nigel McGuinness is a thing of the past. We now walk with the "Wolfe". Since coming to Impact a few weeks ago, Desmond Wolfe has made it his mission to end Kurt Angle's career. He has been on the winning end of things at every step. Angle has exclaimed that he doesn't respect Wolfe. The men in the back who fight for their spots, yes, but not some guy who comes off the street and wants to jump ahead as Wolfe is doing.

My Take: With Wolfe being successful week in and week out I am going to go with Angle here. At BFG Angle went over Morgan but gave the rub to the young guy. I would expect this match to be a good affair with Wolfe still looking good in defeat.

**TNA World Championship Triple Threat Match** (4 pt.)

Daniels vs. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles©

It was back at Unbreakable 2005 that these three friends main evented in a three-way dance for the X Division Championship. That match was given five stars by Dave Meltzer and is arguably the best match in TNA's history thus far. TNA, and the men, are hoping to recreat that same magic, this time with the top title on the line. Champion AJ Styles has been attacked as of late and those attacks have led to a falling out between Styles and Daniels. Joe has sat back and been a great instigator to get the best friends at each other's throat. Does the attacker make his identity known in this match?

My Take: I rather this match not have any interferences but I highly doubt that will happen because of the recent attacks. Unless they hold off any further attacks until after the match, an overbooked finish could hurt what could be a terrific match. Styles is still trying to solidify his status as the company's champ. I am going to roll with the champ.

There you have it. My choices. I have all champions retaining. Quite peculiar, but that is just how I see it going down. Then again, my predictions tend to, for the lack of a better word, suck. It is now your turn. Again, give your picks and a way we can contact you in the comment area. There is a tie-breaker attached to the main event. Please take note of that below. The winner will be announced in an update to this article on Monday evening. The contest is closed at 7 PM (ET) Sunday 11/15.
