I must say that over all I was pretty entertained through out the show. I won’t go as far as saying it was great but it was good. Most of the matches were decent-good and they utilized their time extremely well in my opinion.
MCMG defeats GenMe – Going into the PPV I was expecting it to be MCMG Vs London Brawling but I guess they changed it last minute. No idea why. I missed the first 5 minutes of this match but from what I saw this was a pretty good match. Really fast paced match with both teams showing off their high flying abilities. At the end the Machine Guns got the victory and GenMe turned heel attacking Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin.
Doug Williams defeats Sabu – Alright I was pretty sure Sabu would win this match for some reason but I guess I was wrong. Both guys were pretty good and the match itself was pretty good. The ending was a little weak though, we saw Doug Williams hit Sabu with the X-Division title as the referee had his back turned but the problem was that it barely looked like he even hit him with the title.
Velvet Sky defeats Madison Rayne – Not much to say here. Short match but not much to expect from the knockouts these days I guess. Velvet Skye got the win.
Abyss defeats Rhino – Now for this match you had the crowd chanting “This is Awesome” but honestly this was just okay. We saw Abyss and Rhino just brawl it out all over the arena until they finally got into the ring, after a few minutes of some decent wrestling from the guys Abyss hit Rhino with the Black Hole Slam and got the win. Rhino looks to be in great shape and I am surprised hes only 34, I really thought he was in his late 30′s – early 40′s.
Jeff Jarrett/Samoa Joe defeat Kevin Nash/Sting – This was the match of the night that I was least interested in. Most of the match I was watching Scrubs on my computer because honestly you can’t expect much from these guys, especially in a tag team match. Joe how ever did prove that he still has what it takes despite the weight gain.
AJ Styles defeats Tommy Dreamer – Alright I had a feeling this match would be pretty good and I was right. AJ seemed to have the upper hand through out most of the match which made me think that we would see Tommy Dreamer getting the victory but as Dreamer got the upper hand AJ pulled out a fork from his attire and poked him in the eye with it. He then jabbed in his eye for a good 30 seconds till Dreamer finally decided to quit. So EV2.0 went 0-3 tonight which makes me think why TNA would even start this feud if this was their plan.
Kurt Angle Vs Jeff Hardy – Alright, this could possibly be the match of the year for TNA but the ending was horrible. Both guys gave it their all, at one point I thought the match would end in a no contest due to both guys legitimately having nothing left in the tank. Hardy hit the Swantom Bomb on Angle 3 times, once on the outside. Angle hit Hardy with an Angle Slam and locked in the Ankle lock but still it wasn’t enough to make Hardy tap out. What happens now? Well the time limit runs out after 20 minutes of great wrestling. The fans begin to chant “5 more minutes” and we see Bischoff making his way to ringside, he walks over to Dixe Carter and talks to her for a moment, grabs a mic and says that he has no choice but to add 5 minutes to the clock. Alright both men continue to go at it but once again the time limit runs out. Bischoff says that there must be a winner so he puts yet another 5 minutes on the clock. They go at it once again, Angle gets busted open pretty badly and guess what happens next? If your guessing that the time limit runs out again, you are correct. Bischoff gets in the ring and tells Angle that his cut is too bad so the match must end in a draw.
Alright time for a short rant. Why the fuck would you put a time limit on this match in the first place? Why must TNA be so inconsistent that they randomly add time limits to matches. They always ruin the match but you see what was even worse was when they kept adding 5 more minutes and said that there must be a winner and at the end they call it a draw because Angle is bleeding? Ridiculous.
Mr Anderson defeats The Pope – Alright I am not sure why this was the main event, especially since this is something we have seen before and Angle/Hardy was a first time thing. Anyway the match was pretty good, some nice counters and grappling techniques in this match. Anderson got the win and I am guessing he will face both Angle and Hardy at Bound For Glory.
If I were TNA I would have Angle and Hardy feud from now till Bound For Glory and have them open up the show, where the winner faces Anderson in the main event.
