THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps
Guest
That’s right ladies and gentlemen, it is the first review from BKB, and why not start with what is supposedly the most hardcore PPV of the calendar year? Tonight, we get some shitty gimmick matches (Dutt vs Lethal), some musical performances (from guys I have never heard of, apparently they do LAX’s theme), and we may, may get to see Sting. So let’s get this show rolling live, from Trenton, New York.
To start off we get a package which hypes Angle vs AJ, Team 3D vs Team Rage (Rhino/Cage), and Booker/Joe/Sting. It mainly circles around Sting, so if he doesn’t appear tonight, I’ll be pissed.
Yes, here he is! Lauren is chasing him questioning him. Sting snobs her. BOOOOOOO. Hit her with the baseball bat!
We get Filthee and Grand Master Caz giving us an intro with their music. The guy doing the lyrics looks like anyone could bash him. The big guy resembles a black version of Lance Rock. They finish up and we get some cool pyro. Now let’s get some wrestling going please! *sigh* First DW and Tenay run down the card. Now wrestling please!
X Division Title Match
Petey Williams w/ Rhaka Khan(c) vs Consequences Creed
Smart move with the fast match to start off the PPV. Khan gets involved straight away by getting on the apron, but Creed ignores her. Creed start off dominant with some headlocks. Some nice chain wrestling from the two. Creed hits an elbow to the back of Petey, but alas a two count. Canadian Destroyer countered after an early attempt, and the two shove each other. Creed military presses Petey, then drops him across his knees with some awesome moves. Creed dives over the top rope onto Petey, but botches by hitting his head on the apron. Creed then lifts Petey up for a powerbomb on the outside, but Petey reverses into a leg drop on the apron. Kahn gets involved, and Petey then throws Creed into the ring. Petey is on top, and Creed tries to launch a comeback with his punching combo, but Petey hits a low dropkick to the head of Creed when he goes down for the splits. The crowd love the heel. Petey continues his assault with a hurrancanrana on the floor to Creed. Petey takes Creed back into the ring, and the crowd are still right behind him as he works over Creed. Creed makes a quick jacknife cover, but only gets two. Petey then takes back over with a dropkick to the back of Creed into the second rope. Creed makes a comeback with a big superkick to Petey. Both men get up, and exchange shots. Creed gets a Cena reaction to his shots. Petey hits a corner Walker, but Creed the hits a big Walker. Creed hits another Walker, then an elbow and a slingshot bulldog. Creed hits his punching combo, but only gets a two. Petey hits the Canadian legsweep, then calls for the end. Petey sets Creed up, but Creed rolls through. Petey hits a jawbreaker, a kick, but then gets caught with a Walker. Petey foes to the apron and tires to springboard in, but Creed catches him. We see some pins for two counts, until Creed hits a big kick to the head of Petey. Creed military presses Petey, but Petey slips out, then locks in the sharpshooter. Nice match so far. Creed of course makes the ropes. Petey hits some chops, and Creed hulks up! Petey keeps going with chops, then just starts bashing him, before knocking him to the mat with a forearm. Creed goes nuts and gets on offense, the hits the CreedDT! Creed goes to the top and hits a leg drop! Two! Khan gets in the ring, and is much bigger than Creed. Creed hits her with a TKO! HA! Petey sneaks in and goes for the Canadian Destroyer, but Creed stops him, then drops him ion his head, before covering for a two! Here comes Daivari (Sheik Abdul Bashir)... for God knows what reason. He hits Creed in the back with a chair. Canadian Destroyer ftw.
Winner: Petey Williams.
Rating: ***
Comments: Very solid match. Even with the interference, it was a great effort.
Bashir comes in the ring and bags the US. He then bags Creed. Bashir claims he is the Middle Eastern Nightmare. Sounds cool.
JB is backstage with Samoa Joe! He says he is tired of Sting’s bullshit. Big Sexy comes in shirtless. Woo! Kev says he will take care of Sting. This makes me sense a Nash heel turn. Joe says he will pwn Booker tonight in the cage, and tells everyone he is TNA World Heavyweight Champion! Cool. Decent promo.

Nash is on the rafters with Sting. Sting tells him there is no other way to do what he will do. What will you do Sting??!!!?!?!?!?!
Lethal vs Dutt hype.
Black Tie Brawl and Chain Match (aka crap gimmick)
Jay Lethal vs Sonjay Dutt
OK, so both men are chained together, and you can either win by stripping them of the tuxedo they are wearing, or pinning them/making them submit. What a mess. Dutt doesn’t want to be chained to Lethal. I don’t want you to be either Dutt. Lethal attaches his chain to the ropes. CHEATER! He then beats the shit out of Dutt. Lethal keeps killing Dutt while the ref tries to get the chain on Lethal. Low blow with the chain from Dutt while the ref is putting it on Lethal. PWNT. Dutt starts kicking Lethal and stripping him. This gimmick sucks. Dutt kicks and punches Lethal in what is fast becoming a crap match. Lethal comes back with rights of his own, then hits a running elbow. Lethal starts to strip Dutt. More stripping. Dutt rolls to the outside, but Lethal slingshots onto him, then keeps stripping him. I bet Val finds this hot. Lethal sends Dutt into the crowd barrier, then the steps. Dutt comes back with some right hands for a change. He then tries to walk away (are you stupid?) but Lethal pulls him back, then wraps him around the ringpost with the chain. More stripping. Lethal goes for a right hand, but Dutt ducks and Lethal hits the ringpost. Dutt then hits some more rights on Lethal for a change. Nice swinging kick using the ropes to the head from Dutt. Val is crying apparently. What a pussy. Dutt gets in the ring and looks like a rapist. Lethal tries to mount a comeback, but hits the corner. Dutt goes onto the apron, but Lethal hits ANOTHER right hand, then hangs Dutt over the ropes while Val tells him to stop. Val leaves. Lethal is WTF’ing, and Dutt uses the chain to pull him into the ringpost. Dutt tries to recover, then rolls back into the ring. Dutt puts Lethal into the tree of woe, then strips him. Off comes the top. TAKE IT ALL OFF (jk). Lethal still has his pants. DW says Dutt is feeding off stripping Lethal. WTF?! Dutt taunts Lethal’s family (who are in the crowd, since this is Lethal’s hometown), then keeps attacking Lethal on the outside. We move back into the ring, and Lethal comes back with some right hands, but Dutt takes back control. The crowd chants BORING. I agree. Dutt goes out to the apron, then tries to springboard in, but Lethal uses a cool reversal that sends Dutt flying by pulling the chain. Lethal pulls Dutt around the ring, then starts his offense. Faceplant for a two. Lethal troes to scoop slam Dutt but can’t. Dutt then hits an Asai DDT, but only two. FIRE RUSSO chant. ROFL. Commentators ignore it. Dutt goes to the top rope, but Lethal uses the same reversal again. Lethal hits a rolling suplex, only two though. Lethal with ... RIGHT HANDS!!! Then the Lethal Combination. Lethal heads up top, then comes off with the elbow for three.
Winner: Jay Lethal.
Rating: *
Comments: More right hands then clotheslines in a Walker match. I agree with the crowd. This was absolute shit.
Jeremiah Borash is backstage with Booker and Sharmell, where they talk about Sting. Booker says Sting has issues, such as Joe. Booker says he is champ and doesn’t respect Sting, and neither does Sting. Booker rags on Joe for the rest of the promo, and says he will prove why he is TNA World Heavyweight Champion (delusional much?).
Team 3D vs Team Rage hype. Don’t expect me to be able to keep up with this action too well, as it promises lots of crowd brawling.
Jersey Street Fight
Team 3D vs Rhino and Christian Cage
Brawling in the ring, with right hands everywhere. Ray goes to the outside, and Cage follows. Rhino meanwhile beats on Devon in the ring. Ray throws Cage into the ring while Devon and Rhino leave. Cage takes over in the ring and goes for some Walker’s, but he can’t knock Ray down. Ray then throws on brawl on the outside with their opponents. Cage straight up, leaving Cage to crash to the canvas. Ray and Dev on brawl in the crowd with their opponents screen and I can’t keep up. Cage takes over on Ray, while Devon still beats on Rhino. Rhino takes over and throws beer into Devon’s face. I thought Rhino couldn’t be near beer. We’re still brawling in the crowd, as Ray is on top of Cage as we head right up to the top. Cage takes over and throws Ray into the concrete wall. Cage jumps on Ray, while Devon throws Rhino around the steps. Rhino and Devon gets back to ringside, helping me out. Ray is beating on Cage in the crowd though. Ray hits some more right hands on Cage. Lethal and Dutt would be proud. Cage gets back on top, while Rhino throws Cage into some crazy shit at ringside. Ray slides into the ring injured Cage slides in after him with a sign that says ‘Christian use my sign.’ Cage follows those orders. Rage now double team Ray with a double back body drop, then with a double suplex on Devon. men stomp on Devon, and Cage comes from behind with what I think is a street sign to both men. Ray goes and gets the steel steps, then throws them into the ring. Devon picks them up and rams them into Rhino. Ray then sits them up in the rung, and grabs Cage, slamming him face first into them. Ray slaps Cage across the chest, then heads up top. Cage gets up though, and goes after him, before face planting him from the top into the steps. Cage gets Devon with a street sign on the apron, then turns back to Ray. Ray leans over the steps, and Cage stands on top of him and swings for a street sign shot, but Ray dodges, then hits a Bubba Bomb off the steps to the mat. Two count for Ray. Ray grabs another sign, then hits Cage with it. Devon brings some random street thing I don’t know the name of. Rhino comes back at Ray with a Walker, but Devon attacks him. Devon gets hit with the Gore, but Ray breaks up the pin. Cage comes off the top and hits a cross body on Ray for two. Cage goes for the Unprettier, but Ray hits an electric chair. Rhino gains control, as he slams Devon’s head into Ray’s nuts repeatedly, then rolls him up for two. Rhino and Devon run at each other, and both hit a Walker. Ray is on top and Cage goes after him for the hurrancanrana, but Ray reverses into a powerbomb to the mat. Two count. 3D take control with the street signs. Crowd asks for tables. Devon gets one. Ray assaults Devon with the street sign, and 3D then set up the table in the corner. They try to send Rhino into it, but Rhino stops, then hits a double Walker. Cage throws a ladder in, and Rhino hits both men with it. Cage climbs the ladder after its set up, then hits a frog splash off the top onto Ray. Rhino Gores Ray through a table, then gets the three.
Winners: Team Rage

Devine runs in, then hits Rhino with his kendo stick. Team 3D assault Rhino until the Abyss comes down. Abyss lays the smackdown on their candy asses. Black Hole Slam for Devine. Abyss grabs the kendo stick, then looks confused. He drops the weapon, then leaves.

Angle should NOT do that. Three count. Ten count.
Winner: AJ Styles
Rating: ****1/2
Comments: Loved the match, although the finish can’t actually be good for Kurt. I know it is smart because people know Kurt’s neck problems, but I really think this was unnecessary.
AJ runs back in suddenly after the match and then hits him with a brainbuster. Why has he snapped now when he didn’t during the match? The lights go out. Is it? Could it be? Sting has AJ, then plants him with the Scorpion Death Drop. Wait ... what? Wasn’t his beef with Joe? Nash walks out and asks WTF Sting was doing. Wow.
We highlight the last match which was insane. There’s the DDT again! AJ attacking Angle. Then Sting. So are we getting Sting vs AJ?
Hype for our Main Event.

Lethal vs Dutt hype.
Black Tie Brawl and Chain Match (aka crap gimmick)
Jay Lethal vs Sonjay Dutt
OK, so both men are chained together, and you can either win by stripping them of the tuxedo they are wearing, or pinning them/making them submit. What a mess. Dutt doesn’t want to be chained to Lethal. I don’t want you to be either Dutt. Lethal attaches his chain to the ropes. CHEATER! He then beats the shit out of Dutt. Lethal keeps killing Dutt while the ref tries to get the chain on Lethal. Low blow with the chain from Dutt while the ref is putting it on Lethal. PWNT. Dutt starts kicking Lethal and stripping him. This gimmick sucks. Dutt kicks and punches Lethal in what is fast becoming a crap match. Lethal comes back with rights of his own, then hits a running elbow. Lethal starts to strip Dutt. More stripping. Dutt rolls to the outside, but Lethal slingshots onto him, then keeps stripping him. I bet Val finds this hot. Lethal sends Dutt into the crowd barrier, then the steps. Dutt comes back with some right hands for a change. He then tries to walk away (are you stupid?) but Lethal pulls him back, then wraps him around the ringpost with the chain. More stripping. Lethal goes for a right hand, but Dutt ducks and Lethal hits the ringpost. Dutt then hits some more rights on Lethal for a change. Nice swinging kick using the ropes to the head from Dutt. Val is crying apparently. What a pussy. Dutt gets in the ring and looks like a rapist. Lethal tries to mount a comeback, but hits the corner. Dutt goes onto the apron, but Lethal hits ANOTHER right hand, then hangs Dutt over the ropes while Val tells him to stop. Val leaves. Lethal is WTF’ing, and Dutt uses the chain to pull him into the ringpost. Dutt tries to recover, then rolls back into the ring. Dutt puts Lethal into the tree of woe, then strips him. Off comes the top. TAKE IT ALL OFF (jk). Lethal still has his pants. DW says Dutt is feeding off stripping Lethal. WTF?! Dutt taunts Lethal’s family (who are in the crowd, since this is Lethal’s hometown), then keeps attacking Lethal on the outside. We move back into the ring, and Lethal comes back with some right hands, but Dutt takes back control. The crowd chants BORING. I agree. Dutt goes out to the apron, then tries to springboard in, but Lethal uses a cool reversal that sends Dutt flying by pulling the chain. Lethal pulls Dutt around the ring, then starts his offense. Faceplant for a two. Lethal troes to scoop slam Dutt but can’t. Dutt then hits an Asai DDT, but only two. FIRE RUSSO chant. ROFL. Commentators ignore it. Dutt goes to the top rope, but Lethal uses the same reversal again. Lethal hits a rolling suplex, only two though. Lethal with ... RIGHT HANDS!!! Then the Lethal Combination. Lethal heads up top, then comes off with the elbow for three.
Winner: Jay Lethal.
Rating: *
Comments: More right hands then clotheslines in a Walker match. I agree with the crowd. This was absolute shit.
Jeremiah Borash is backstage with Booker and Sharmell, where they talk about Sting. Booker says Sting has issues, such as Joe. Booker says he is champ and doesn’t respect Sting, and neither does Sting. Booker rags on Joe for the rest of the promo, and says he will prove why he is TNA World Heavyweight Champion (delusional much?).

Ray assaults Devon with the street sign, and 3D then set up the table in the corner. They try to send Rhino into it, but Rhino stops, then hits a double Walker. Cage throws a ladder in, and Rhino hits both men with it. Cage climbs the ladder after its set up, then hits a frog splash off the top onto Ray. Rhino Gores Ray through a table, then gets the three.

Rating: ****1/2
Comments: Loved the match, although the finish can’t actually be good for Kurt. I know it is smart because people know Kurt’s neck problems, but I really think this was unnecessary.
AJ runs back in suddenly after the match and then hits him with a brainbuster. Why has he snapped now when he didn’t during the match? The lights go out. Is it? Could it be? Sting has AJ, then plants him with the Scorpion Death Drop. Wait ... what? Wasn’t his beef with Joe? Nash walks out and asks WTF Sting was doing. Wow.
We highlight the last match which was insane. There’s the DDT again! AJ attacking Angle. Then Sting. So are we getting Sting vs AJ?
Hype for our Main Event.

Comments: ZOMG JEFF JARRETT
PPV Rating: ***
Thoughts on the PPV: It was solid all round to me, minus the shit that was Dutt vs Lethal. Jeff Jarrett returning is pretty cool, and we get Sting attacking AJ as well. Some nice build here. Feedback is appreciated, as this is my first review
