WTF?? So wait...Sting wins a match by DQ after using a stel chair in clean view of the referee??? I'm sure there are all kind sof booking reasons not to have Sting actually pin Steiner, but then don't have a chair spot in the match. dumb. And the whole clusterf ending was a little predictable.
Still have no clue why Killings is in the KOTM instead of Monty. Did we really need an even number of heels and faces?
But other than the irritation at how that match ended the show was pretty good.
Joe/Steiner confrontation was short but effective.
I LOVE Nash and Shelley. I think it's pretty LOL to watch Nash's hand-written presentations. The only way those could be better is if Big Sexy had Powerpoint.
And Konnan's "promo" during the Sonjay match was interesting. Good story and Konnan delivered the message well.
Strong main event, too.
So not a bad show over-all.

I thought it was another 'good' show...not great, and it did have its weak spots...but all in all it was pretty good.
Nice way to kick it off...with Sting v. Steiner. Typical old heavyweight match...but not bad.
I like that Killings is in the KOTM match...in fact, he's my second choice to win behind Cage. Don't ask me why...its very complicated.
I thought Steiner taking over the ring...only to be confronted by Joe was well done. Perfect use of 'the freak' as an out of control bully.
Nash and Shelly are working 'really' well together...I still hope Nash puts over the X Division like he said he was going to do and doesn't 'change his mind' and decide he's still got one more run in him. Still...at least they're getting their $'s worth out of him.
A lot less JJJ...
I even thought the 6 man tag match was pretty good...
Good show...

Since the KotM Tournament started TNA's iMPACT! has been solid, yes they have there bumps but thats normal. Sting versus Steiner was good overall, I liked the fact that Steiner slapped a Crippler Crossface of Sting. Things have been really exciting, I can't wait to see SLAMMIVERSARY!

PH, There is a bit of a difference between a wrestler involved in the match using a chair and having a two on one situation. The match made sense to me. The ref was lenient with the rules, but when he was counting Steiner down, and Jarrett interfered, it was a clear DQ. I have no problem with that.
I started watching TNA when it made it's first attempt at TV on the Prime Sports network. I think it is improving week by week but still has a long way to go if the intent is to compete with the WWE in the way WCW did.
Overall, good show.

You know, I actually find the Triple J thing to be an interesting comparison....People got tired of them being in the spotlight and being World Champion all the time, and now they're both staying out of it...Very cool...
