— Initial plans for Hard Justice called for the event to be headlined by a TNA vs. “ECW” bout. Officials have since decided to make the event an “all-ECW” show similar to WWE’s One Night Stand in 2005. Wrestlers from the original ECW are being contacted and major TNA stars such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Ric Flair are not currently scheduled to appear on the show. Hard Justice is largely being put together by Tommy Dreamer.
— The Suicide character has been brought back since TNA has its action figure coming out. The character is being portrayed by Kiyoshi (Akira Raijin).
— Tomko is out of action due to an ankle injury.
