[The New F'n Show]

They clearly have another match. I actually thought that match was pretty solid. Ending kinda ruined the quality of the match but it worked. keeps belt on Roode and makes Storm look like the better man going into the rematch. Hardy-Angle was alright and tag title match was decent too.

Hardy/Angle was solid, and was pretty much your typical Kurt Angle match. Main event was good and so was the tag match, rest of the show sucked bad. Easily one of the worst road crowds they had, Flair getting the biggest pop of the night tells you everything you need to know about what wrong with TNA.

 

[Smartmark]

^^ Nothing wrong with giving Flair a big pop

 

[Chris]

Crowd did suck, which was unexpected. I really thought they would be pretty hot.

TNA's booking will never improve to where we go OMFG the PPV was awesome from the start to end.

It's TNA, it'll always have it's dodgy places here and there however I must agree, this event was better than Victory Road and I enjoyed the tag match, Hardy/Angle and Storm/Roode

 

[Troy]

Not too keen on how they finished the mainevent. Two PPVs in a row the TNA World champion has looked weak by winning in fluke fashion. It is one thing to do it with a smaller heel wrestler but for a guy Roode's size it is a bit ridiculous that they are making it look like he isn't good enough. I thought that Storm was a lock to win here, bad decision not to give him the title here. They will no doubt have another title shot but they would have had that anyway if Storm won here. Match sounded really good other than the end.

Hey great comments guys, epscially Andrew and Smart, really enjoyed reading it, am sure it was much better than watching the actually show lol.

Sounds pretty standard TNA stuff. Mostly predictable results, the bonus match doesn't seem to have added much, and was booked far too high up.

The Flair/Hogan stuff sounds painful.

Tag Title, Angle/Hardy and Main event seem to be the hightlight. But semi-final seems over the top and just not believeable and the TNA Title finish was really lame.

Anyway I agree with them keeping the strap on Roode, his World Title run is still getting going, and personally I don't see Storm as world champion calibre.

 

[Andrew]

Rumors have it that they felt Storm isn't ready and changed the idea of him winning the belt two weeks ago.

 

[Dale]

Smartmark how many stars was Angle/Jeff.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Ric Flair was golden. Hogan tried getting in the way of that but I have tunnel vision so I just remember Flair.

The tag team title match was my favorite match of the evening. Haven't really looked through the thread so I'm not sure what others thought of it.

 

[EffectsofRaven]

Angle/ Hardy was a shockingly bad match, really people seem to think it was a highlight?

Both men no sold their finishers in a bid to make it feel epic and that killed it so much, not to mention the structure was terrible.

Storm/Roode was such a strong match and the finish was really really well booked but was kinda obvious, never the less... Terrible show.

completly disagree.i loved the finish to the main event.i thought it was clever and well booked.it made sense for roode to retain but for storm to look strong in front of his hometown fans.the crowd was horrible all night long.they were stone cold silent for the tag title match which made no sense considering it was a quite decent match.hardy angle was just ok.you could tell kurt was injured but he didnt look seriously hurt i.e.torn hamstring.however im pretty sure he now has broken ribs it looked like hardy landed his second swanton right on his ribs and when he was being helped back to the dressing room one of the officials pointed to kurts midsection.all in all ppv was ok but woulda been better if the crowd was into it.i kinda wish they were at the impact zone because having a hot crowd really helps the product.hopefully they wont return to nashville anytime soon.and kudos to bischoffs son for taking a royal ass whipping .i thought he took more legit punishment then anyone on the entire card.he still aint worth shit though.hes like greg gagne 2.0.

crowd was dead all night and there werent very many good matches, dissapointed at how the main event ended but could see it coming. Small crowd too i read about 2,500 in 9,000 arena

I just don't see how the add to his character by having him win like this. Yes on Impact he had his lawyer out there to get him out of wrestling regularly but him losing like this makes him look weak and I haven't seen him as a weak heel champion. He has been sneaky and willing to bend the rules as all heel champions are but I don't think the finish was good for either guy.

 

[rcoot93]

I think the type of chap roode is will actually hurt the company, it used to be that people would watch wanting the heel to lose and get even mor pissed off at hi when he won by a fluke/cheated. Know though things are a lot different and I don't see that type of thing working as no ones going to buy a ppv where they think there going to get a crap end
