My "quick review" of the show...
Hmm, the Battle Royal was "ok". I don't like that the one French guy dumped out the other..... TNA needs legit tag teams that are teams not two individuals. It was pretty much Moose, Bennett or Eddie from the start, strange they are turning Moose so quickly
The Hardy/ Abyss match was ok.... I didn't like how Nero was "fully broken" for the ladder match and one week later he's back in the middle. I did laugh at Matt biting Steve and Steve completely not catching Hardy on the dive (maybe he shouldn't do that anymore)
Side note, I am a huge Abyss fan personally (the guy has literally gave his body for TNA) but he was looking pretty rough out there. I hate to see him go, but that chokeslam and Black Hole Slam didn't have the same impact (no pun intended) that they did 5 years ago
Woman's match made me smile, I thought it was a nice "twist" finish. I also am a fan of Allie (Cherry Bomb), she actually is a really great female worker and her playing the semi-trained secretary makes me laugh
Eli Drake is still very good, really has "stepped up" in this new direction with the Facts of Life segments. It's a shame because Mandrews, Braxton, Spud, and both members of the Helm's Dynasty are amazing wrestlers who can carry the championship.... but the guys really haven't been given a chance to really showcase what they can do.
Main Event, both guys are great workers. People can say "oh pushing former WWE rejects" but both EC3 and Drew have definitely grown into their own in TNA. Drew is actually a very good heel, especially his recent stuff in ICW. I will also "defend" putting Arron Rex into a main event feud this quickly, just on the fact that he's still very "in" right now from his Mizdow days, and it wouldn't make sense to put him in his first feud with... Ayden O'Shea or Sharkboy when you can capitalize on him right now.
