From what I can gather so far Ricky Starks, Trevor Murdoch, Question Mark, Zicky Dice, Tim Storm and Dave Dawson have advanced.
Dave Dawson, Question Mark and Zicky Dice can't win.
That leaves Ricky Stark, Trevor Murdoch and Tim Storm.
I think it's the wrong timing for Stark and Murdoch to win the belt, so I'd go with Tim Storm in the way that Dusty elevated the belt (as a former world champion) in 1985-1986. This could also get round the issue of him not getting any more title shots.
So for Hard Times, I'd like to see:
World title:
Nick Aldis vs the Villain (Aldis wins)
World Tag Title:
Rock n Roll Express vs Cabana and Anderson (Cabana and Anderson win, run in to set up next feud by Ely Drake and his new partner)
National Title:
Shooter Stevens vs Trevor Murdoch (Murdoch wins)
Womens title:
Alyssin Kay vs Thunder Rosa (Rosa wins)
TV title finals:
Tim Storm wins, although I'm not sure who over...
