Knockouts tag team title match now. Already had the result spoiled for me. Should hopefully still be fun.

As expected, pretty ridiculous ending. Rayne hits EY with the title belt from behind, but he falls on top of Gail, who wildly flails but can't kick out from under him.
I don't mind ODB and EY winning the titles (they seem pretty superfluous anyways), but probably could have had a better finish than that. Problems continue between Kim/Rayne though, and ODB and EY get something to further their "shtick", so the end result is there. |

EY then proposes to ODB.
ODB takes the ring, and uses it to propose to EY. Eric Young accepts by shouting "YES! YES! YES!" and puts the ring on. |

Austin Aries backstage and he has just received an E-Mail from Sting!
The X-Division Title match against Zema Ion has been moved to tonight instead of at the PPV! Makes sense! |

Frickin' Zema Ion. Stop spraying your hair spray on your neck/chest. Or at least start saying it is something other than hair spray.

Austin Aries DQed for turning Zema's hairspray against him when Zema tried to use it.
Weird match. Heel vs Heel, but Aries pretty much played the part of a Face. |

Abyss' brother Joseph running wild looking for Abyss.
Pretty sure I remember that it was revealed that James Mitchell was Abyss' father. And that his half-brother was that Judas Mesias guy. Is this another half-brother? WHERE IS THE CONTINUITY? |

The straps on the TNA title seem way too long. Noticed it last week too. When Roode wears it on his waist the rest of the strap just flaps about behind him like a tail.

Doing a good job here at least of making it all about the title. Bully wants it, he doesn't care that Roode has it. It's a non-title match, but beating Roode could get him his shot.
Unlike Austin/Zema where Zema seemed not to care about the belt at all. |

Pretty good match until James Storm runs in and chases Bully off, and superkicks Roode.

Tag team #1 contender match.
Matt Morgan/Crimson vs. Robbie E/T Television champ actually on TV. Also, forgot about Morgan and Crimson and their whole "probably gonna turn on each other" deal since they weren't on since the first week. |

Morgan and Crimson win. Crimson steals the win from Morgan.
Just break these guys up already. No need to see them get another title shot. |

Also, can't believe they are making this Garrett Bischoff angle the main event tonight instead of something to do with Bobby Roode/The Main Event picture. |

Honestly, this is the first week that I would classify the show as "bad". If I had watched this show in the first week, I probably would have tapped out.

Yea, this past weeks wasn't anything special completely predictable. I hate that their still pushing Jeff Hardy as a main eventer, he doesn't deserve to be in a feud with Kurt. I would say after the PPV (I'm sure Jeff is going to win the match) I'd like to see a Daniels vs Angle feud. They would put on some amazing matches.

I actually agree with you, Lock Jaw. This week was pretty... meh.
TNA's done this before, and it really annoys me: Yes, the story running through the show this week seemed to be that Sting was bat-shit insane and doing bat-shit insane things. Yeah, it would make sense that a bat-shit insane General Manager would put on a weird show with guys challenging for female titles and bad guys facing bad guys and money matches being blown on free television. But that doesn't make it good practice. TNA seems to be under the impression that if they're meant to have a bad show, then that's more than acceptable. That being said, I understand where they are going with most things. The stuff I didn't like, though: * Garett Bischoff does not seem like a main event player. At all. One day he might be, but he should really be in OVW working on his skills. The tag match did not feel like a close to the show. It felt like one of those "first hour main events." * I liked that Kazarian seemed to be forced into working with Daniels. I liked that he seems to be doing exactly what Daniels asks him to do, but with an edge almost meant to send a message to Chris, which Daniels sells perfectly. I liked that Kazarian got Daniels disqualified last week, but ultimately won the Gauntlet Match for the team -- kind of giving the big "fuck you" to Daniels while still doing his job. It was pretty awesome, and the pay-off of Kazarian manning up and not playing Daniels' games anymore would have been worth it. But this week it seemed like Kazarian is happy to be with Daniels? It seems like he legitimately hates AJ Styles and wants to team with Daniels, which would have been all well and good if that were the story from the start, but it wasn't. * It's just a little thing, but it really, really bugs me -- I seem to remember one of Crimson's biggest moments in TNA Wrestling being choking out Abyss with wire announcing that "They" were coming. So Joseph Parks shows up looking for his brother and Crimson is all "Sorry, man, can't help you." I get that little continuity errors pop-up in wrestling all the time, but it still bugged me that Crimson seemed to be genuinely concerned about the missing Abyss. He could have at least seemed standoffish or suspicious. In my mind, the saving graces of the show were the performances by Austin Aries in that backstage segment where he called Sting on his shit -- adding a level of "sanity" to the show; and Bobby Roode vs. Bully Ray, right down to the ending. Personally, I felt that while there were better and more obvious things to do (Joe & Magnus vs. Roode & Ray?) that would have allowed the exact same progression of story and gotten more guys over and what have you -- this did do the job and served as completely valid entertainment. |

The Jim Carey version.
Anyways, didn't do this today. After last week's show, I just didn't have the motivation. Previous weeks I was looking forward to doing this. Was gonna do it tomorrow, but am now realizing I can't. So it might be Sunday before I can ASTOUND you all with my commentary. |

Been keeping up with this thread from the start, and while reviews from my peers seem to point to TNA slowly turning their product in the right direction, it still seems they are making alot of mistakes. Frmr GM Jaw was willing and even excited to watch a few of the shows, but not so much this time. Also, I don't see the pay off other than the obvious good wrestling from guys you don't see on the big show anymore.

There was never a Jim Carey version of The Joker, was there? Sting is reminding me of Jim Carey, though.
Kind of felt like TNA was pretty perfect this week. Really decent show again. Bobby Roode is about as good at promo work as Kane Knight is at being an obnoxious fat dude with Asperger's. He's very good. |

Just had a thought. PPV is tonight, and it is the start of the beginning of the last show leading into it...
And I know two matches on the PPV. Roode/Sting Angle/Hardy They gave away Zema/Aries on TV last week, so dunno if that is still on the card. Oh wait, I think there is gonna be a tag title match too. |

Ok, so Storm/Ray are apparently having a match at the PPV too.
I like these two guys, they work really well together. However, I already saw that match in the first week when Storm beat him to become #1 contender. Instead of now doing this "You aren't going to make it to Lockdown" angle from Bully Ray, they could have been building up to have the #1 contender's match at Victory Road. |
