You know how to do a good wrestling show? You drop all the bad storylines and pack the show with meaningful quality in-ring action. Aces and Eights were de-emphasized other than what was necessary, save for those dumb recaps of Claire that storyline's gone and the show is MUCH better for it.
James Storm is awesome. The finish to his match was fantastic, although there's a new worst wrestler in this company... BVD is a lazy sack of shit, he couldn't be arsed to run to do a suicide dive. Man, that guy has really regressed, but Storm never ceases to be entertaining. Eric Young's back? Fuck! But Madison Rayne was buried and looked like a total jackass so thumbs up from me! Styles and Joe was... Styles and Joe, man those guys are good. 2 of the 5 best wrestlers today putting on a great combination of psychology and athleticism you don't see anywhere but TNA. Even Hogan's segments backstage with the WTTCOTW and Joseph Park were entertaining as hell. The Pillsbury Doughboy got told "Hell No, GTFO" and Joey Ryan started being entertaining again messing with the judges. Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle had the match you'd expect from those two, Hardy's typical spots and an Angle finisherfest, but it was painless. They cleared up everything with the Bound for Glory Series wonderfully, and left an awesome cliffhanger for next week.
The BFG Series is so damn good this year, it's really separated the Pritchard TNA from Russo's crap last year. It seemed obvious at the beginning, but the way they threw the wrench in the gears with Aries winning the belt at D-X... Well, Rock and Punk is looking incredibly predictable right now, so if WWE doesn't fix that, it'll definitely solidify that TNA is LIGHTYEARS better than WWE right now.
Agreed with Asskicker: 8/10, I loved this episode.
Screw it. 8.7/10. Joey Ryan ftw.
