    Hardy winning makes sense to give Immortal a foothold but still irritated thought Anderson was just hitting a groove. Shame Mickie didn't win this chase has been going on too long now. Jarrett winning is no big surprise as they want a lot of huge angles going on March 3rd


  • Registered Users Posts: 85,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'm surprised both Jeffs won


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    cant say i'm surprised jarrett won, its TNA after all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,589 ✭✭✭IngazZagni


    I thought the show was okay. First half wasn't great but the last two matches were pretty good.
    cant say i'm surprised jarrett won, its TNA after all.

    It makes perfect sense though for March 3rd. Having Angle win would just effectively end the feud. Having Jarrett win sets up the wedding thing perfectly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    One of the more solid shows from TNA - they showed some booking restraint, there were a bunch of good-great matches and one of the best angles they've done in a long time.

    Thought this was a fantastic show, almost every match was decent. Best PPV in ages, WWE included. Bully Ray Vs Devon stole the show for me, great performance from both guys.

    I wouldn't have had the two 'personal life' matches one after the other, but as it turned out, they were both quality matches, both well booked to continue the feud into the coming weeks, and has left me wanting more. They felt real, I could emotionally invest, something missing in pro-wrestling today for me anyway, and I have to say the Devon twin sons and Karen Angle have also done a good job in these angles.

    It looked like they botched the finish of the ladder match, I think Hardy was supposed to have grabbed the belt and held onto it, then fallen off the ladder with the belt.

    They must really think Hardy is going to escape jail time to put the title back on him.

    My theory is that they just put the title on Anderson for a month because they wanted a baby-face champion on their European tour.

    I really wish I was as fine-standing with TNA as you rich!

    I felt the show was poor; I thought about whether i should give it a 3 or 4, but since most matches felt short of what I'd hoped I gave it a 3. During the show I constantly questioned why I still watch TNA. I was previously able to separate the stupid booking from the excellent matches and just enjoy them, but we don't get amazing wrestling any more.

    AAO featured many, many useless brawls. For me it was ok watching the no-storyline X-D match and even Roid Terry and Steiner was fun, but the PPV fell off a cliff after that. Nothing too horrible, but collectively as a PPV is was not enjoyable to watch. The women's match was a boring blow-out, and preceeded the of-course-it's-another-brawl 3D match, which peaked and should've ended 2 months ago, but was good for their standard. Pope and Joe, i didn't care for. Is anyone booked to be quite as stupid and gullible as Joe? I guess having been turned on by every mentor he's ever been with, the MEM and Jarrett aswell, hasn't taught him sh!t. People don't want to really boo Pope and Joe's not that over as a face. For me, it's just not working. It was never going to work. I guess the "no puppies in the orphanage" storyline turned me off for good.

    I don't know why RVD and Matt are stuck together, there's no chemistry and neither can tell a story so both would be better served somewhere else. Why Morgan/Hernandez schmoz couldn't wait til iMPACT is beyond me. I'm still down on the horrific reintroduction Hernandez was given and this recycled anti-american crap he spouted at the PPV. I'm just not that into Angle/Jarrett (I disagree using Kurt's real life losing his family and kids in some Russo storyline - absolutely classless) but it was alright. It makes sense that they should brawl but the match quality was far below their previous efforts in their last feud. Also having Jeff cheat and not win, and then win clean is baffling. But this won't end for at least another PPV.

    I was however thankful that D-Von's kids didn't swerve turn on him, and that Hardy regained his title (I guess they've solified a plea bargain that involves no jail time -- i didn't think that'd happen before his next hearing).

    Overall again I'm wondering why I still watch TNA when I disagree with almost everything about it. That said this giving out is quite cathartic and allows me to continue watching TNA :confused::p

    You'd hope for a great match to focus on and feel good about but everything here fell below average in my eyes.

    I thought the Bubba Ray and Devon match shows the fundamental flaws in TNA. We were told the sons were not in the match, yet Bubba could win the match against one of them. It is a fundamental booking mistake.

    Wait, what? I thought it was a 3-on-1 affair! I started shouting yesterday before my mate told me it was a 3-on-1 and we all had a good laugh :p

    That's the thing. It was said to be a 3-on-1, then they were told to stay away and then they ended up in the match. It is very easy to misconstrue what was happening. Read this review of the PPV from PWTorch.
    WORST MATCH - BULLY RAY VS. BROTHER DEVON

    Terrible "match." Some may argue in favor of the intensity of the angle, but it came across so awkward and needless. Were Devon’s sons part of the match, or not? Apparently so, even though they were told not to get involved? My head hurts. This was like when Hulk Hogan beat Vader at Uncensored ’95 by beating Ric Flair. Just a drawn-out match with no logic or payoff. And I don’t consider the post-match angle afterward as being the ‘payoff.’ This is TNA, where the son that Ray put through the table may turn up as Ray’s manager for no apparent reason come Thursday's Impact.

    Or this equally confused review from the live commentary.
    6 -- BROTHER DEVON vs. BULLY RAY -- Street Fight

    Devon dominated the first four minutes beginning at ringside and then in the ring with kendo sticks. When Devon's sons walked to ringside, Devon turned and yelled at them to return to the back. Bully Ray got up and hit Devon with a chair. That made either Devon's sons or Devon look like complete idiots for letting that happen. Devon's sons attacked Ray at 5:00 to stop him from using a chair against Devon with his head stuck in a chair. Devon got up and attacked Ray with a punch, two clotheslines, and a backdrop. Ray let out an "oh sh--1" as he was being backdropped, which the fans loved. Then Terrell hit Ray with a crash can over his skull. Then the sons held Ray's legs apart as Devon hit the top rope diving headbuutt to the crotch at 6:00. Devon's sons then told Devon to get the table, leading the crowd in yelling it along with them. Ray recovered enough during the whole process to give Devon a low blow as he set up the table. He then grabbed handcuffs from ringside and cuffed Devon to the middle turnbuckle. His sons jumped into the ring and tried uncut Devon. Ray attacked them from behind. He gave one of his sons a boot to the face and made the cover. The referee counted to three, so apparently the kids were officially in the match after all.

    WINNER: Ray in 10:00.

    STAR RATING: * -- That was one of the most stupid finishes in the history of this business.

    What an amazing paragraph! I watched Uncensored last week actually. Hogan dragged Flair around the ring with the strap and hit the turnbuckles as the commentators gave out! Vader never did the job that night. Least of their worries at that PPV to be honest. Check out the King of the Road match! Dustin Rhodes vs Blacktop Bully in a ladder match. But replace ladder with the word "horn", the ring with "the back of a moving van", and the ropes with a chicken coop. Amazing.

    Please PLEASE let that happen on iMPACT. A mate said he'd stop watching TNA WHEN D-Von's kids turn on him to join Bubba!! :eek::pac: .......:rolleyes:

    It was three on one but Devon realised his mistake and asked his kids to stay in the back.

    It was a 3-on-1 match all along. Devon, worried for kids safety, told them to stay out of the match, but when they saw that their dad was in trouble, they got involved anyway.

    anyone know how many buys they got compared to previous PPVs?

    Could you imagine what the internet would say if WWE did Bubba Ray vs Dvon in 2011. I dont think I would watch them if they had a 5 star match. Really like, who could actually want to see Bubba Rau Dudley vs Dvon Dudley in 2011?

    Well, some might say who could actually want to see Jerry Lawler in a main event in 2011, in the middle of Wrestlemania season?

    Or, WWE have Hornswaggle, and The Rock isn't even going to wrestle at WrestleMania, only host. :pac:


    Sure, TNA isn't everyone's cup of Earl Gray, but WWE have put out plenty of 5hite of their own lately in my opinion. Just extract the best parts from each product, and enjoy them in their own right, there's no need to compare every TNA show to a WWE show.

    Or that it's actually been a pretty damn good feud, especially the angle at Against All Odds which was just fantastic stuff and one of the best things I've seen so far this year.

    I demand someone talk about

    and what of his magnificent return!

    Exactly. Like I said earlier, match of the night for me.

    Yes. I got the feeling he wasn't thrilled to be back in the suit. He just wrestled as normal, he did the Suicide pose a few too many times, there was something off about it!

    I think Suicide needs a new outfit. Like slightly different colours. And a storyline too.
