TNA presents its first pay-per-view (PPV) of the year on Jan. 8, 2012, when Genesis hits the airwaves.
Thanks to a pre-Christmas Impact taping frenzy the Orlando promotion had, all the events leading up to the event have been in the can for a week or so now which in turn has already helped form a pretty cohesive card.
Austin Aries defends his X-Division title against three challengers -- Jesse Sorensen, Kid Kash and Zema Ion -- while Gail Kim puts the Knockouts Championship on the line against Mickie James. Abyss and and Bully Ray collide in a Monster's Ball match with a special stipulation that the monster must join Immortal if he loses and D'Angelo Dinero and Devon look to settle their beef once and for all.
The two big matches, however, are the bouts pitting James Storm vs. Kurt Angle and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship match involving the defending Bobby Roode and someone who is no stranger to the title, Jeff Hardy.
If you need to catch up or just need an excuse to get excited over next week's event, take a look at this "Before the Bell" special for Genesis.
