Decent ending actually, wasn't expecting that.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

my fucking internet went down during Storm's entrance so I hopped on my neighbors unprotected connection but it was a weak connection and the stream was barely working.. saw the ending, decent enough

 

[Bort]

I actually dislike the ending, tbh.

The only thing I would have changed is have Hebner crawl in and count the pin after Sting nailed Hardy because it's Blue that he didn't count for Bully or Hardy but then counted for Roode after he knocked out Hardy

This. I didn't get that at all. And how one minute he goes to lay out Bobby, next he's counting and not going for Bobby at all.

But yeah, was a pretty unpredictable ending.

One of these days I need to join in with you guys on these... looks like you had fun.

PPV delivered imo. Finish was dumb, but kinda-sorta creative. Reminded me of Johnny Ace not counting pinfalls at RR because he was checking on the ref, except nobody got completely buried like Dolph did. Was disappointed in the Kaz/Styles match and the fact that Robbie E was on my TV. They should have audibled there... "Shannon, stay. Hey, Pope or Anderson, go out there and squash this joker, We're losing the crowd after that scary Sorenson injury!" Everything else was rock-solid, the X-Division title match was the Match of 2012 so far.

Garett Bischoff got a bigger pop than anyone not named Hardy or Tara. :angry:

Anyone excited for Roode vs. Sting for the title at Victory Road?

I think it was more Hogan's pop.

Also, no, I don't want Sting in title contention again -.-. Aries match was so good, I really love the guy. I expected more of the Styles match, I still think he's the joint best wrestler in the world. No idea why Anderson or Pope couldn't of just cut a long promo instead of us having to watch Zack Ryder Robbie E for a while.

Punch, clothesline, headlock, kick, terrible elbow drop, headlock, irish whip, punch, headlock. Robbie E sucks. Get the TV belt onto someone who might actually be on TV, Robbie E is nowhere near Zach Ryder's level.

Agreed on Aries and Styles, and it was whoever booked the whole "look conflicted after every move, Kaz, and Styles, get plenty of glares at Daniels in there!" ruined the match, not them. Best wrestler in the world, biggest star in the company, and he can't be taken seriously as an opponent for Roode at the end of last year. So instead, it looks like they are building to get Sting back in the title picture.

 

[Crayo]

No where near Zack you're right, but they've completely stole his gimmick and given it to a talentless hack like Robbie.

 

[seabs]

I kind of like Robbie E he's got comical selling which kind of reminds me of Flair.

 

[MJKnight]

Shadic's coverage of last week's TNA

 

[Bort]

Good effort overall, even with the Garrett borefest and the main event ending. Good wrestling and storytelling, entertaining promos.

 

[Crayo]

Completely muted TNA when Garret came on.

 

[Snowman1]

If you haven't heard, Jesse Sorenson has been released from the hospital and is back home. Good news.

 

[Bort]

Yeah, great news. One year recovery just tells you how bad the injury is. But he's a fighter, he will come back earlier, I reckon.
