Listen up!

Class is in session.

Ready for "Genesis" results? No, Phil Collins isn't involved. It's the latest TNA pay-per-view.

Just in case you didn't buy this one, let me assist in telling you what should happen in each contest, followed by what will happen and then what actually did happen.

Challenge Match: Mick Foley, AJ Styles and Brother Devon vs. Booker T, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner
What Should Happen: Cactus Jack returns to the ring joining Styles and Devon in a match against the Main Event Mafia. Clearly, Foley should get the pin here. It's the only thing that makes sense -- unless TNA wants to give the MEM unbeatable status.

What Will Happen: This is a tough one. I'm going with the babyfaces, with Foley getting his arm raised.

What Did Happen: Foley pinned Steiner. Kip James replaced Nash on the heel team, who didn't show up.

Challenge Match: Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle
What Should Happen: TNA co-founder Jarrett won the initial meeting in this series, in his big ring return in the last PPV. If it were up to me, he should make it two in a row -- totally confounding the manic Angle.

What Will Happen: Doesn't matter what I want: Angle will win.

What Did Happen: Angle got the job done.

X-Division Championship Match: Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin
What Should Happen: An X-Division tournament was held. The members of the Motor City Machineguns meet in the finals. How ironic! Sabin, in my very humble opinion, is the better wrestler here, and should win the belt.

What Will Happen: I'm picking Sabin.

What Did Happen: Shelley won the title from his pal, in a dandy match.

TNA Women's Championship Match: Awesome Kong (c) vs. Christy Hemme
What Should Happen: This contest is also a "Lumberjill" match, which means six additional TNA "Knockouts" will surround the ring so Kong doesn't cheat. Kong doesn't need to cheat because she's about 200 pounds heavier than the ex-Playboy bunny Hemme. This is filler, and I'm hoping TNA does the right thing and keep the title on the heel champion. Kong has no real competition in this promotion.

What Will Happen: There are two locks of the night. This is one of them. Kong will win.

What Did Happen: Hemme was hurt, and this match didn't happen.

TNA Championship Match: Sting (c) vs. Rhino
What Should Happen: Sting represents the Main Event Mafia, Rhino is the leader of the rival group, Front Line. I think Rhino would rather be with MEM, but I'm guessing that's further down the line. Sting, it seems is tired of being a heel and wants to eventually be a good guy. But that won't happen this month. That's a storyline down the road.

What Will Happen: The second lock of the night is Sting retaining his TNA title.

What Did Happen: Sting won a short match against Rhino, who was allegedly hurt.

That’ll do it. For the record, just one wrong tonight! I rule!

Time to scram.

This class is … dismissed!
