Watched it earlier today and after taking a couple of hours to let it simmer I have this rating to give. 4/10.
X Division match was pretty boring, and I don't think most of the guys in it will stick around in the X division (if they do great since it would put some more life in it, but I don't see it) so it felt like a cheap way to get Aries, Hardy and Joe on the show.
Tag match was boring and Bromance just isn't credible, like D'Z said they were made up to be jokes for most of the year and now they are suddenly sneaky heels.
The Angle stuff was headscratching, either a punishment or they are trying to do the best they can with what they have.
Dixie is trying a bit too hard to be Stephanie/Vince. Hopefully she grows into it.
Knockouts was boring, and the end result was the TNA answer to AJ and Tamina.
Angle vs Roode was match of the night, but the ending ruined it. Had they actually carried Angle out I feel like it would have told a better story, have Angle build himself up from rock bottom instead of still being "unstoppable". Plus it would have benefited Roode more.
EC3 was just a squash, nothing much to tell. I realize what kind of character they want to go for and I guess he portrays it well enough but I need to see more before casting judgement.
Magnus v Sting was boring. I just wasn't interested in the program at all. Not sure what they want to do with Magnus now, groom him as a heel or keep him on the track as a babyface as they did before? They kinda teased a heel turn.
AJ vs Bully was slow and clunky with some spots thrown in. Didn't really get going until Bully ripped up the ring mat. The ending was so similar to MITB 2011 as well.
Like Dolph's said, it seemed like a longer version of impact. Nothing really special or memorable. Decent ring work in most of the matches but bad finishes put a bad taste in my mouth. I want to like TNA and hopefully they can reboot now (but if it becomes another stable war I don't know what I'll do.) A plus sign is that this is the perfect moment for TNA to reboot and set up a new direction, hopefully back to 2012 when it was so insanely good. Sticking by my 4/10.
