- I didn’t realize how truly awful the poster for this event was until I tried finding it for this post.
- I was able to watch last week’s Impact but wasn’t able to get a review up. I will miss seeing TNA out of Orlando though.
- I’m interested to see if there’s a big shakeup tonight if the rumors are true and Vince Russo is out.
- Jesse Sorenson has his own football and t-shirt. He’s got more merch than half the roster.
- Zema Ion looks to be channeling Rick “The Model” Martel. Wonder if he is going to suggest a “No Punches To The Face” match against Austin Aries.
- Oh my God that was sickening. Hope Sorenson is ok and another example of how green Ion is. I’m all for high flying, hard hitting, X-Division style matches… but these matches should be competed by experienced (AND SAFE) athletes. This was a stupid mistake you would see at your local, low budget indy show. Not on PPV.
- I think a big reason why Robbie E. is still the TV champion is because he hasn’t defended it in months.
- It’s the battle of “These Guys Are Still On The Roster?”
- I’d actually be ok with Shannon Moore winning here. Mainly because he’s not Robbie E.
- Oh well.
- Interesting that the poster above featured Gail Kim and Velvet Sky but no sign of Tara. Feels like a off the cuff decision.
- Did you know Tara is 41 years old? Damn good for her.
- Decent match but obviously not up to par with some of their classics. Weird to see a worked injury off of a high spot after just seeing a legitimate injury in the first match of the night.
- Joe and Magnus would be great for the tag division right now. Their styles mesh much more easily with a variety of opponents unlike a team made up of two big men.
- Good call as Joe and Magnus have been showing great chemistry. My one question though, why were the heels given the babyface style chase for the gold and title win?
- I wish Matt Morgan was in the WWE simply because there are guys there who can teach him how to truly work like a big man.
- Bully Ray deserves a run with the belt in 2012. Great promo.
- JB is actually bringing some passion and knowledge to this show.
- There are so many experienced guys out there that word the same style as Aries and Shelley. I understand the reasoning behind picking up young guys like Ion and Sorenson but why not capitalize on talent such as Jimmy Jacobs and Eddie Edwards too.
- My God that was a nasty DVD.
- Imagine that, a heel who can actually win without cheating. Fantastic matchup between these two which brought back memories of an almost forgotten X-Division.
- Well that’s some freaky face paint.
- Kaz wearing a Daniels shirt was a nice touch.
- Why is Styles STILL wearing the Fortune logo?!
- Good storytelling in this match but I’m just not that invested IN the story. I feel like its just been done too many times with the exact same players.
- Really risky moves tonight from everyone. And almost all of them seem just a bit mistimed.
- That springboard moonsault was the epitome of athleticism.
- That was Eric Bischoff at his best.
- Anybody else thinking “Shane McMahon” as Garrett Bischoff walks to the ring?
- The towel gimmick is a nice touch.
- Ok, this is odd to say but Shane McMahon was better.
- Smart finish but unfortunately this doesn’t seem to be the end of Garrett vs Gunner.
- Oh dear God, it’s the “Insane Icon”. Awful.
- I think the best option would be to put the belt on Storm and have him face challenges from Bully and Roode (maybe even Hardy).
- What I expect to happen is for either Roode to retain or the more likely, Hardy to win the belt. I don’t think TNA is leaving the country again anytime soon so that’s one hurdle they don’t have to worry about.
- I like the new mix of Roode’s entrance theme. Definitely more heelish.
- Bully Ray is such a good CLASSIC heel. It’s pretty impressive that he’s essentially made himself the biggest story of this match featuring 3 (4 actually) other top guys.
- Holy crap that might have been the loudest pop I’ve ever heard for Hardy taking off his shirt. As my wife says, “I just don’t get it.”
- Wow that was a flashback to Summerslam with Bret Hart, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. I’m confused as to why Sting would count that pin but neither Bully Ray’s or Jeff Hardy’s earlier attempts.
- For the most part a good 4-way and a decent PPV. I don’t remember the last time we’ve seen a TNA PPV end with a clean finish but that’s to be expected nowadays. I sure as hell hope Jesse Sorenson is going to recover quickly.
