TNA Victory Road 2012 Discussion

at D'von being the new TV champ.

What a ridiculous decision that is.

 

[Crippler]

Devon is the future if the company and this business, that's why.

 

[Andrew]

This has been a great PPV.

AJ's match is easily MOTN, loved Angle/Hardy that was a good match. Angle cheated in the end but Lethal Lockdown next month should see them both at it again.

 

[Vivido]

Angle/Hardy was bad, I havn't seen either of those two in any match at all since they left WWE, Jeff still sucks and Angle has got bad. Both men made each others finishers look bad. How Hardy could kick out of an Olympic Slam and then not out of a roll-up when he was on a role I don't know. Back to the WWE for me.

 

[Troy]

Reading the results for the show and there are some odd decisions.

Storm beating Bully Ray within a minute makes no real sense especially when it is a number one contenders match.

Devon winning the TV title is the death of the title, I was expecting a big name to be the surprise challenger but I was wrong.

With Hardy/Angle I agree that it makes no sense for Hardy to be able to kick out of an Olympic slam but not a roll up, dusty finish probably means that they are extending the feud for another PPV.

The mainevent finish is one of the dumbest things I have read. I had to re-read it a few times because I thought that it was a typo. Roode then sets up the chair to power bomb Sting onto it. Sting blocks it by connecting with the Scorpion Death Drop and Sting smashes his head on the chair while completing the moves, a severely beaten Roode drapes his arm on Sting to score the three count. That is so stupid and this is the mainevent of a PPV featuring the world champion. Not really too keen on Dixie getting involved in the end either, made no sense that no-one from the back ran out to help her. So the rest of the roster hates their boss?

 

[The New F'n Show]

I didn't think it was that bad overall. The ending really sucked but the match was decent before it. X title and the Styles/Anderson- Daniels/Kaz match were very solid. Hardy-Angle wasn't bad and I liked the rollup and don't see how kicking out of the finisher hurts it. Hardy was clearly warn down from the Olympic slam and Angle still had to use the ropes to beat him, good heel booking for me.

 

[Heisenberg]

KISS MY ASS BITCH. SHUT YOUR MOUTH BITCH.

 

[Lewb]

Why is it every PPV has a thread that asks questions of its booking. Don't they ever learn. It's not being different, it's being plain shit.

 

[Killz]

Why wouldn't the OTT babyface Storm, Roode's #1 contender, make the save? It's incredible. They hate each other, Storm's a babyface so should support babyface authority and Storm had only had a couple minute match at the top of the show (after which he'd already made an appearance) so there's nothing to suggest he left or was receiving treatment?

The PPV was ** to *** before the ending. Now it's definitely **. Ending was crazy stupid and the match was only really passable as a main event. Without the gold on the line they had to deliver more than they did.

I actually really liked Angle v Hardy, the crowd getting hot towards the end helped. Austin Aries is a legend and does things so off the cuff and easily I'm usually sat in awe watching him. You can't hate the guy. Tag match with Anderson and AJ was good. TV title stuff was nonsense. Tag title match was pretty lame, should have happened in a high profile TV match after simply miscommunication led to the loss. It weakens the Magnus/Joe victory for the sake of yet another PPV swerve/moment.

Biggest travesty? Bully Ray might be the hottest heel commodity in the game right now. He should NOT have had his hostage situation last 3 or so minutes. Storm should have to have been goaded slightly into taking the match and the match should have gone at least 5 minutes. Think long term TNA, who's gunning for Storm if he has his moment in te sun at Lockdown? How do you keep Ray's hot streak relevent if Roode retains? I know, bury him in a minute even though he's one of the best talkers we have! Drives me insane.

 

[Andrew]

While there's pros and cons on the PPV.

I believe TNA has risen from it's past, this PPV was a hell lot better and only the main event had a stupid finish.

Most matches were actually quite good, must say AJ & Anderson gets MOTN easily.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Storm likely beat Bully Ray in a min because he's recently had ankle surgery. It was a minor surgery too from what I read, but i'm sure TNA wanted to keep him healthy for next month when he faces Roode at Lockdown.

 

[Killz]

Storm had the ankle surgery? Well that's disappointing...I still dont like, then, that they built up Ray to be this force capable of taking the PPV hostage and then lose anyway to protect Storm's health haha. Oh well, I'll still enjoy watching Ray's work, at least that explains the match length if not the match build. Thanks for the info.

Well at least you can say you are a glass half full person Scott! LOL.

I do take your point on the roll up finish, as the point of the it is that it takes a already weaken guy off guard and it is that which beats them. Still I think the point being made is that if someone kicks out of a big move a minute a before the roll up they are unlikely to suddernly be weak enough to be pinned. Also that finish feels a bit dated nowadays, it worked fine in the 1980s, but maybe is not good enough anymore.

 

[chefboyardee]

ppv was an absolute joke.ion vs aries was the only decent match and why have a ppv and not have the world title up for grabs.i did like roode terrorizing dixie at the end though.i feel bad for anyone who paid money to see this.if roh is ever able to increase their production value i think they can overtake tna.have u ever seen a roh ppv? rohs ppvs are white hot and full of action.unlike tna.

 

[Keith]

I never get that impression 'White Hot', surely it should be red hot right? Lol.
