There was some very good wrestling on this PPV, but, as usual, TNA drops the ball on the big angle at the end. Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and whoever else is writing this crap has absolutely no business booking for a major, professional wrestling company, which is what TNA is trying to be. God Bless their hearts.
The Guns and GenMe were mind blowing in spots. I just wish GenMe would get some decent wrestling gear. They looked like they raided the wardrobe of a production of Hair the musical and they had on Air Jordans, which are fine if they had been playing basketball, but not on a major PPV. Still the match was incredible. This feud needs to continue. As GEnMe continues to develop and gets a little more seasoned, they could be the one of the greatest teams ever. On a side note, I have no desire to see Team 3D vs. The Guns, but it will happen because TNA mgmt. is clueless.
The rest of the matches were solid, but unspectacular. The women's match was horrible. Please bring back Awesome Kong and maybe some of the girls from Shimmer and ROH like Sara Del Raye, Daisy Haze, Allison Danger, etc. If I wanted to watch underwear models with jailhouse tatooes dry hump the ring ropes, I would flip it to Skinimax or the WWE.
Orlando Jordan/Eric young vs. Ink, Inc may have been the worst PPV match that I have ever seen. What was the point of this match? If anyone knows, please clue me in. This should have been Eric Young vs. Shannon Moore with Jesse Neal going back to school to train and Orlando Jordan not even in the company. I don't know what they are paying Jordan to be there, but it is a waste. This guy may be controversial, but being bisexual does not give him the right to be a horrible wrestler and get paid well to do it.
Sting/Nash/Pope vs. Joe and Jarrett did its' job in terms of teasing what was going to happen. Poor Kevin Nash barely can move at all. Charisma wise, there have been few better, but his body is just too broken down. I would feel sorry for him if he wasn't making enough money off of TNA to feed Sally Struthers and her starving African children.
Pope is growing on me, I think. I still feel like he comes off as a midget Rock, though. Sting and Jarrett are basically the same as they were 10 years ago, just older, but just as good in the ring as they were back then (please note the sarcasm).
RVD vs. Abyss was just okay for me. With all of the build-up for "they" by Abyss, I don't know that he needed to lose this match or even face RVD for that matter. The whole deal were Abyss "attacked" RVD and cause him to have to forfeit the title was lame to me. But, more on that in a minute.
EV 2 vs. Fortune was decent as far as those type matches go, but is a waste of Fortune. I respect all of the old ECW guys but this does nothing to enhance Flair's group. Flair should have faced Foley in the cage and the angle should have died with that match. Although, Matt Morgan referring to EV2 as a traveling antique road show was funny. The notstalgia act is dead.
The main event (which, by the way, even Stevie Wonder saw coming) was a very good match. My only question would be why turn Jeff Hardy? He has absolutely zero personality outside of the ring. I know people have always liked him, but it is mainly because he does some dangerous things (by the way, people that are stoned tend to take a lot of risk, FYI). He has no mic skills, at all, and is simply not a good enough in ring talent to be the standard bearer of the company. In my totally useless opinion, TNA could have gone a few different ways with this:
1.) Instead of putting RVD out and stripping him of the belt. They could have had RVD vs. Angle vs. Hardy in the main event and used Abyss to help screw RVD and Angle over to let Hardy win, if they were bound and determined to make Hardy the main. Abyss could have screwed Anderson over in an earlier bout to give him some momentum going into this new angle instead of having him get his butt handed to him by RVD.
2. They could have done the angle the exact same way that they did, but turn Anderson or Angle instead. Both have the in ring skills and the out of the ring personality to make this angle work. Jeff Hardy does not have the ability to be the top guy as a heel. As a good guy, he probably does, but not as the top heel. Of course, he won't be the "top" heel because Hogan and Bischoff have positioned themselves in that spot.
3. Anyone other than Jeff Hardy as the champion (except Orlando Jordan).
4. Another idea that just occurred to me would have been something with Jarrett in the main event and Hogan putting the screws to him because if I am right (and if not, someone please correct me), the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach is where WCW did the controversial angle with Jarrett just laying down in the middle of the ring for Hogan and giving Hogan the title. The only problem with that would be that no one really cares about Jarrett or an old WCW angle, which is why it surprises me even more that TNA didn't do that very thing.
I know this has gotten long winded, but in closing, I need to say that TNA needs to get away from all of these cliques (Fortune, EV2,"they", Sting/Nash/Pope). Next thing you know, we will see the Nation of Domination, Los Boriquas and DOA on there. Which with TNA is a possibility. All of those guys did work for WWE and most are close to drawing Social Security, so it would be a logical fit for TNA. Sorry if this was too long. Once i got started, I got on a little bit of a roll, I guess
