The following is a second batch of reader feedback on our Question of the Day from Friday with PWTorch readers's thoughts, reactions, and feelings on the ECW-themed TNA Hardcore Justice PPV. We're still looking for your feedback before tonight's TNA PPV. Send your Reax to pwtorch@gmail.com.

Ken, PWTorch reader: I'm cold on the PPV and I won't be ordering it. I have no desire to see these guys hitting each other with chairs and flaming tables in 2010. It wasn't all WWE's fault the last ECW attempt didn't work. As for TNA's PPV, no Joey Styles, Paul Heyman, ECW fans, heck they can't even use the name ECW. Leave it alone and let it go. Bring back the classic Joe, Styles, and Daniels feuds that made TNA's own legacy.

Steve D. of Conn., PWTorch reader: TNA is doing with ECW what they have been with WCW: letting the show go on, despite both Vince McMahon and time. Sure, the guys can't wrestle like as they used to. Sure, they look older at fatter. Sure, it would be nice to see Ric Flair win a match without being humiliated in the process. But, despite the inevitable flaws with what TNA is doing, they are giving the fans two very important things: closure and wrestling that could be fun to watch. ... Like many fans, I want to see good wrestling continue. And I want to see that happen in the same vein of coolness that was ECW. I want to see Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven again. I want to see RVD vs. Jerry Lynn again. I want to see Sabu, The Sandman, and could they please get Bubba Ray to stutter again? Hell, I even want to see Terry Funk again. I don't care that time has passed, or that the action might not be as wild or fresh, or that this is happening at some studio in Orlando. The fact remains that "Hardcore Justice" is an ECW show, if not in name, than at least in spirit. For everyone who ever cared about ECW or WCW, thank you, TNA, for giving those legacies a more natural ending.

Worth S., PWTorch reader: TNA is looking for any way to gain PPV buys and this is not the way to do it. The company is sinking lower and lower with PPV buys, drawing lower TV ratings compared to last year, and talent payroll is at an all-time EXTREME high. The Hardcore Justice theme sounds like a good idea if the year were, but this has no meaning, and will likely make last impressions even worse. The talent for Sunday night is far from good and only two matches have been announced. On the other hand, TNA will find out if people will watch their PPV cards on cable TV for free next week. No need to purchase this PPV when you can simply buy it on DVD since there will likely not be any storylines/feuds past this event involving these wrestlers.

Justin Shook of S.C., PWTorch reader: I believe it's a total waste of time. ECW is dead. Don't get me wrong, back in the day I was a diehard fan. I loved the innovation, the wrestlers, and, most of all, the hardcore aspect of it. Now it seems like such a dumb move when TNA already has a full roster of talent that NEEDS TV time. They need to focus on their stars, because those are the guys who are going to take them to the moon if they can ever get off the launch pad. Sadly, an ECW reunion isn't what TNA needs to take flight. Hopefully once this "One Night Stand" is over, TNA can get back to reality and work on fixing their current product, which has been on life support for a while now.

Tim Hampton, PWTorch reader: I want to be excited for Hardcore Justice, but I just can't be. TNA has not tried to hide the fact that this is nothing more than a knock-off of 2005's One Night Stand PPV, as the tagline for the event is even "One Last Stand." TNA apparently didn't learn the lesson that WWE learned from the disaster "December to Dismember" PPV. That event drew a terrible number, and one of the biggest reason was that WWE only announced two matches ahead of time (Hardys-MNM and the Extreme Elimination Chamber match). TNA is doing the same exact thing (only Dreamer-Raven and Van Dam-Lynn are announced for this Sunday's event). ... As far as announcing goes, it will be missing a huge part of what made ECW great: Joey Styles. Styles was able to make almost any wrestler in ECW actually seem good. (I was a fan of ECW, but most of them were not that good. Despite what Dixie Carter seems to think, the majority of ECW wrestlers would have left the company in a second if WWE or WCW offered them a contract. Paul Heyman even encouraged them to sign contracts from them if they were offered.) The only way I would be interested in the PPV is if it turned out that Paul Heyman is "they" Abyss keeps talking about.

William Wellek, PWTorch reader: People underestimate the "retro" factor when it comes to something like this. I think the Hard Justice PPV could have sold beyond expectations for this show if it was priced right. When it comes to disposable income, I'm willing to spend part of it on things that remind me of younger years and better times. Hell, I'm shelling out decent money for The Australian Pink Floyd in a couple of months. However, asking me to spend $35 on a wrestling pay-per-view with only two announced matches (one of which isn't happening now) just leaves me thinking that Dixie Carter assumes that I'm a sucker.
